So ETC has Bumper Cars, and combined can smack 6 damage to the face, but even then, along with mummy and even Test Trashers. Having ETC along your side that you put in your deck, I just don’t see it.
I am as mixed as I can be with ETC. It sounds cool on paper, but it’s the execution that’s most troublesome since Rush Warrior has changed so dramatically.
3 Stars. I hope their experiment works, but I don’t think it will. I hope I’m wrong, and it’s a “Turns out!”
this card is meta defining and your gonna see this. So manty OTKish combos are gonna come out becuz of this while this no tempo killers and curves perfectly in egg warrior
Playmaker anyone? Like, sure it sucks but it has potential
I don’t get this. For once Blizzard I can say I really am disappointed. Rush synergy was a yes, face damage is a no. I wish this gave armor instead, and more than 2.
“Oh cool ETC is back I hope his card is EPIC…. oh god. That’s terrible”
I think this is the worst legendary since like A’lar. It’s awful and has little to no meme potential.
I don’t think 2 mana 1/4 is enough. I think it needs to be a 3 mana 1/6 instead, so that way it can really do its job well.
Realistically it’s just going to live for 2 turns, or it will die at mid or late game.
Other then that, you are just going to be dealing 2-4 damage and 6 damage at Rare occasions.
Scion is great for ETC but not for the Next Expansion since he’ll be expired.
So either Hearthstone has a backup plan for E.T.C. or else he will not be used all that often.
I’m going to give it 3 stars, and hope for the Best because I like the whole idea of what they trying to do with E.T.C.
Trash card, I’d be very surprised if a good deck can form around it.
This minion could easily become a meme card.

Who’s the god of metal now?
I think it’s supposed to combo with Playmaker? Rush minions function as removal resources, it’s difficult to just throw them on the board for face damage.
This is literally the ONLY Warrior card shown so far and people are rating it badly before we even see if there’s some great rush cards to go with this. It’s a very good aggro card. If your opponent can’t remove this you can just keep trading in rush minions to protect it while dealing damage to opponents.
Restless mummy goes really well with this. Athletic studies also lets you discover rush cards on warrior and what not. You cannot rate this before you see the other game pieces it goes with.
I, too, don’t understand why people rated this card so badly. Actually, I think it’s pretty good because it brings back a little bit of charge to the world of rush. 😉 There are already really good rush minions and due to it’s low mana cost, you can combine this for board control AND face damage.
Might fit into some sort of tempo/midrange Warrior.
E.T.C. deserved better tbh
Should be a rush or mech
Another crappy warrior legenday
