How to get
Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:
- Two copies of Silverback Patriarch were automatically included in all players' collections upon unlocking the warrior class.
- Two Golden copies of Silverback Patriarch were a reward for raising a warrior to levels 53 and 54.
Strategy
Silverback Patriarch is generally considered an overcosted/understatted card, with very little potential despite its Beast type. New players may find this card of use if building an early game Taunt-heavy deck, but it is otherwise not recommended.
As a Beast, it has synergy with Hunter cards such as Starving Buzzard and Scavenging Hyena. There is also some potential synergy with Druid cards like Wildwalker and Knight of the Wild.
Silverback Patriarch has multiple stronger alternatives. Although some of them lack the Beast tag, generally this is a minor upside at best.
Lore
Silverback Patriarchs are level 42-43 gorillas native to Stranglethorn Vale. They can be found northeast of Booty Bay, near the eastern shore of the peninsula.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Servants of the Betrayer" series, for the card King Khan.
