General Comments

Cleave can be an excellent card in the right situation. Unfortunately, the situation where Cleave is perfect rarely occurs, and since Warriors have so many other options for efficient removal, Cleave is rarely the right choice for your deck.

2.

Constructed Play

Cleave is generally a poor choice in Constructed. Warriors have many other efficient options for removal like Execute, Bash, Slam, and Shield Slam, as well as Weapons.

3.

Arena

Cleave is a reasonable card in Arena. 3/2 minions are extremely common in Arena, which makes Cleave a very powerful answer to an opponent who uses The Coin to play 2 2-drops on turns 1 and 2.
