Tauren Hero Required
When an opposing ally enters play, exhaust it.
Unlike yesterdays card, this card might actually see
some play, since Rush decks won’t like it at all.
Hunters can’t use their Fury’s right from the start,
while other Horde decks need to wait with there
Moko’s.
So If you’re running a Tauren deck, give this card a
try.
Toady's card works nicely with Shaman and the
earthbind totem.
In fact this is currently the fastest stall I've
seen in this game buy turn five you should have
the field locked down and you can peck away at your
opponent at your leisure.
Outside of it's major potential in Shaman requiring
a Tauren means you're stuck
with some mediocre heroes( save Morova of the Sands)
should you decide to try other classes.That's the
one thing that hurts Rashun's playability and it's a
big one.
Sealed: 1/5
Not reliable
Constructed:3/5
Casual:3/5
Raid:1/5

Tauren week
continues! Are short Taruen called Mini-Taurs?
Hmmm...
Stone Guard Rashun (Horde)
5 cost, Ally- Tauren Shaman, 5 ATK (Melee), 5 Health
Tauren Hero Required. When an opposing ally enters
play, exhaust it.
Wow. As I don't get out much, this is the first time
I've seen this guy. We'll start off with the basics.
5/5 for 5 is pretty solid. He requires a Tauren
hero. That lets him into a Shaman, Warrior, and 2
different Druids decks. So, this little ability...
'when an opposing ally enters play, exhaust it'.
This is pretty cool. While it may not be totally
game breaking for a Warrior, Druid, or Shaman, it
can still be useful. It makes on your enemies side
useless, it makes Protectors useless for a turn...
those 2 right there are good things. In sealed, if
you get this guy in your first pack, I'm thinking
you play a Tauren. As a 5/5 for 5, he is solid for
combat, even without his ability. In constructed, he
can be a nightmare to deal with. In casual, he can
be absolutly irritating. In Onyxia raid, its kind of
a toss up. All Whelps will come into play exhausted.
This can be great. But since whelps don't have
Ferocity or Protector, its not so amazing. This does
set them up to be picked off by any willing Rogue,
though...
Sealed: 4/5 Solid ATK and Health for decent cost,
plus potentially powerful ability... I say play him!
:)
Constructed: 4/5 Here, he is something to be reconed
with. No ferocity, and protectors are useless for a
turn? I like it.
Casual: 3/5 While not quite as powerful in the
'screwy decks' department, he is still awsomly fun.
Raid (Onyxia) 2/5 He's a 5/5 for 5, but his ability
is kind of lackluster here.
W.A.Y.S.
Next up this week
is Stone Guard Rashun. He is a 5/5/5 which is pretty
nice.
An ally that big will be hard to tackle in any case.
One downside to Rashun is that he can only be used
by tauren heroes. SGR can render enemy ferocious and
protector allies from working for a turn. This can
give you the opening you need to slam the enemy hero
for a chunk of damage. Other than that he is beat
stick.
SGR could have valuable potential in team play or
free-for-all play if you play those modes.
Sealed: 3.5 out of 5 - Good beat stick and okay
effect.
Constructed: 3.5 out of 5
Casual: 3 out of 5 - Rashun doesn't really spice up
the game all that much.
Raid: 2.5 out of 5 - He's alright but there are
other allies to play here.
