Sunreaver Warmage

Sunreaver Warmage is a rare neutral minion card, from the Rise of Shadows set.

Strategy
While holding a spell that costs 5 or more in your hand, this outclasses almost every other 5 cost minion in the game in terms of Tempo. Compared with Baited Arrow, an already good card, you lose -1/-1 for 2 more direct damage that can be sent anywhere instead of a minion to kill. It is best to run at least 4 or more spells that cost 5 or more in your deck to get this Battlecry triggered consistently. Running any lower can mean that you won't be able to fufill the conditions for the Battlecry in most games.
