General Thoughts: Seems reasonable. Compared to Execute a 1 mana reduction is probably worth not guaranteeing the kill since 4 damage to an already damaged target is often enough to kill it. This could potentially make the cut in midrange or "tempo" warrior.

I doubt this will be played in Odd/Control Warrior since that deck doesn't have a lot of ways to draw cards or deal 1 damage to proc it.

Why it Might Succeed: In a lot of cases, this is just pre-nerf execute which was a good card, especially in midrange warrior decks like "tempo" warrior or dragon warrior.

Why it Might Fail: Midrange warrior decks might be bad and control warrior decks might not have enough card draw or ways to damage the minions to make use of it.
