    A 1 HP minion with no battlecry, deathrattle or tribe seems not worthy to play for me.

    In theory it is easy a 4/1 (or more) in Odd-Pala in Wild. But is a (nearly) Magma Rager for 1 Mana allready worth? I am not sure...

    I see you!

    I assume the minion gets the buff but the wording is a bit ambiguous. Would be jaw-droppingly good if it gave the player attack damage.

    Well, the Zealot has some notable synergies with Steward of Darkshire. I personally think this would replace some 1-drops in that list (except Fire Fly ofc).

    1 health 1drops are never good unless they have a good effect (i.e. Kobold Librarian). Odd paladin has far too many good 1drops to ever even consider running this.

    90% sure that this minion gets the +1 Attack whenever another minion is played. This could be decent in an aggressive deck, or in combination with divine shield somehow, but we'll have to see some more cards to know what's up for sure.

    Could have been really good as a 0/3 (potentially broken in wild, if so).

    Probably about as aggressive an 1-drop as we will see these days. It seems completely reasonable.

    also all the people talking about wild...

    The wording is consistent with other cards Flesheating Ghoul as opposed to Savage Combatant, so yeah, no giving your hero permanent attack damage lol.

    Wonder which support we will get for 1 hp minions.. we had Steward of Darkshire before.. wonder if they are planning to reprint the card at a different mana cost/statline.

    I think it has potential with giving it divine shield constantly.

    I mean...it's pretty alright if you go first, but pretty weak against Rogue, Mage and Druid

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Elegant design for a 1-Drop. This can be a huge thread in the early game although it needs support because no agressive deck wants to heropower on turn two. I like it! Maybe token pala will become a thing?

    no aggressive deck wants to hero power on turn 2? hmm people forget fast...

    Also playing a minion is considered summoning.

    Possibly for an aggro token paly. Could become snowball with a silver sword or glowstone tech buff as a mid-late game if you dont draw early. 

    Probably wont see much play though, other aggressive decks will trade early with and most control can just hero power turn 2. 

    Don't Read This Sentence.

    Decent in wild (I believe it is a better Argent Squire in that format), mediocre in standard. In fact, it's the weakest of the three cards revealed for the archetype. Adding the fact that Paladin will also apparently be the Reborn class, you can only fit so many archetypes in a class on a single expansion.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
    Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
