I'm with TA on this one. If it were a 3 mana 2/3 or something then I could see places for it but a 1/2 in the 2-drop slot just isn't good enough. It's way too early to guarantee effectiveness and frankly, just isn't that special.

Now, it might see use just because we can't run five abusives and probably *will* see use in some shaman deck I haven't thought about yet but the card itself really isn't doing much.

One shortcoming of Lance Bearer is that it's friendly minion only. So can't combo him with BGH or SW:D for removal.

The majority of decks running Abusive aren't using it that way anyway, it usually an aggro card.
 
Wild Growth gives you empty mana crystals, AC gives you full ones. Granted that's pretty much irrelevant since you have to dump your hand, but if you had facelessed a coldarra drake, you could indeed hero power 8 times.
I was talking about WGs ability to draw you card when youre at 10 mana, AC does nothing there for you

Does the 'Best rank achieved' thing start this month? I checked my quest tab and it hasn't been in there.
you should see the new rewards at the end of this season/start of the next

Lance Bearer is shit. Seriously? Like Gavin said, it's mediocre. It's true that if it worked on any minions it would be a tiny bit better to put something in BGH/SW

range, but even then, it's still pretty meh. If it was a 2 mana 2/2 then it would be very good, but as a 1/2 it's pretty crap. There is no way that it could make the cut vs. all the other 2 drops out there.

I am interested to see what happens with Astral Communion. I am assuming you cast it and then have 10 full mana crystals, since that's the way Innervate works on turn 10 if you've already spent 2 mana crystals. If there were more Acolyte of Pain type minions, it would have a shit ton of potential. I don't think it's very good though, it's too gimmicky, but who knows, we might see something interesting come from it.

I doubt a priest card is going to see much use in shaman decks.

Oops I thought it was a priest class card

It will count from when the expansion hits, one of the CMs tweeted that at some point. I don't know how it will show in the UI though.

Yesterday I was tinkering with retro control warrior by pulling shield maidens. Today Sjow is experimenting with control warrior without shield maidens.

I'm trying to dru a doid daily.

*Edit*

and as soon as I switch to taunt druid, the hunters dry up.

and right as im on the verge of having the board locked down with taunts, this faggot patron goes coin warsong patron inner rage inner rage hit with deaths bite and clears my board. And the reason I'm so fucking mad right now is because this faggot bullshit won't be nerfed until october at the soonest.

Patron Warrior needs a straight up nerf. Hello Warsong Commander.

Hunter is stupid and needs addressed too. But I think the way to address hunter is with viable anti-aggro cards. Unfortunately we haven't seen anything from the tournament yet.

Also whoever said nobody plays aggro paladin on ladder should shut the fuck up and never post in this thread again.
