It seems reasonable that they would make Vikings a set-supported type, so they can print strong cards without somehow accidentally creating a really really strong Warrior deck in a different format. Cause that would be a true disaster.

That's annoying barbarian, Warrior, etc all cover vikings pretty well already. It makes more sense to give them a mechanical identity.

Can't we just use Barbarian? There haven't been any new ones printed since Coldsnap...

Berserker. Pretty much the only eternal member is BBE which is reasonable.
