Animated Armor is a rare mage minion card, from the League of Explorers set.

Lore[]
Like the Fossilized Devilsaur, this suit of armor was an exhibit in the Hall of Explorers, having been collected by the League of Explorers. It was later brought to life by Arch-Thief Rafaam using the Staff of Origination to serve as a distraction while he attempted to ransack the Hall, featuring as The Steel Sentinel. The Sentinel's Hero Power grants the same power as this minion, with the Heroic version also granting it to the Sentinel's minions.
Following its defeat, the armor's left greave remained intact, and was given by Brann Bronzebeard to the explorer during their battle with Arch-Thief Rafaam.[1]
The armor itself once belonged to Anduin Lothar, after whom Anduin Wrynn was named by his father Varian. The armor's shield bears the emblem of Lordaeron, a fallen human kingdom in the north of the Eastern Kingdoms currently contested between the Forsaken, the Alliance, the Argent Crusade, the Scarlet Crusade, and the remnants of the Scourge.
Trivia[]
- An earlier version of this minion was a 4/1/1 with the card text "Taunt Battlecry: Copy a friendly minion's Attack and Health."[2] That effect seems to have been remade into Faceless Shambler.
- Animated Armor was originally a neutral card, but according to Ben Brode, "it is NO FUN with Master of Disguise."[3]
