Where do all those fluffy cards come from?
Great way to create more pressure on board while giving you a little more health
I like this a lot. Solid stats, spell synergy, healing. It gives me a little bit of everything I want. That said I hope that the librams aren't becoming holy spells or something...cus no.
This is pretty fantastic. Competitive stats for its cost, synergizes with the legendary, and if Libram of Wisdom counts as a Holy spell (which it might not since it is essentially just a book) then it's completely bonkers.
Great for swing turns with Broom too.
token paladin coming in just need some buffs for the tokens and we need to see some more holy spells
I don't know... Seems ok on paper, question is is there enough spells to be paired with this?
Lore note: Well, seems that Blood Knights (Blood Elven Paladins) are not present on this expansion, because every paladin card revealed in this moment are alliance forces of North Point.
Whit holy buffs, they are pushing tokens and spell synergies, hope this can work whe the expasion arrives.
Exactly! Looks decent but the Power Lvl is dependant on how many Holy Spells we get that are actualy playable
Violet Teacher but the tokens have +1/+1 and Lifesteal, and the Holy limit is minimal since that's most Paladin spells. Plus, with Animated Broomstick, you can get a bunch of immediate heals.
A priori looks good
Good card. Not game breaking and not very useful for the cost
If Libram of Wisdom is a Holy spell, we're all doomed.
This and Spirit Healer at the same time could be pretty powerful.
Please no. Isn't libram something like a book? Book and Holy doesn't really fit.
Libram of Wisdom is actually a Holy Spell! Confirmed in a video they released early on :)
Yeah. Cool.
this is going to be a great board control and heal for pally
I personally don't see this being played. Outside of Libram of Wisdom, you likely won't have enough spells to make more than a few tokens. In general you'd probably rather run something that is powerful by itself, rather than something that requires you to be holding other specific cards.
Librams ;)
also I really hope that the card name isnt Fluffy Paladin and its Veteran Warmedic
Priest of the Feast replacement
Oh god. Infinite 2/2s incoming.
Now that I think about it, a spell named Book of Wisdom can definitely be a Holy Spell. It makes sense. For the health of game, it doesn't tho :)
Pretty solid, you can drop it to generate an instant threat or just play it with a spell and it is worth stat wise.
My gut feel on this one is that it's not great. First, how many Holy spells do you expect to be casting alongside a 4-mana minion? Second, neither this minion nor the summoned Medics have taunt or rush, so there is no immediate board impact unless you toss in a card that grants taunt or rush. Now, if Libram of Wisdom becomes a Holy spell, that will change the story completely in Wild.
i see lifesteal , i like
Usually this kind of card looks good but then don't see any play
Tomorrow's Fireside Chat video was leaked through the Korean PlayHS Youtube channel, which may have been hacked.
I like the effect
Makes sense. If the next expansion is Lordaeron, they can't have draenei or Wildhammer dwarves (if they want to keep it lore-y like this set seems to be), so the Shaman representatives will have to be orcs or trolls. That balances out
Libram of Wisdom is a holy spell, I for one, welcome our new Paladin overlords
So, apparently, Libram of Wisdom will be a Holy spell. That instantly makes Veteran Warmedic the perfect tool for Libram Paladin to go wide on board while also retaining their core package. Veteran Warmedic has a lot of potential, and since the Pure Paladin stuff is mostly going away, I guess "Hey loser!" will be heard even more.
No, it's a great fit! (says anyone practicing an abrahamistic religion)
Yay for pure paladin with more lifesteal!
Pure paladin will be nuts with this.
Decent card in the holy paladin package
This is pretty good, decent body with a good effect.
We need cheap holy spells! Buffadin incoming.
Violet Teacher just got a huuuuge upgrade!
I'm pretty sure any Paladin spell that represents a magical effect is going to be Holy. Some older spells might have been other things, but nothing we've seen in Standard so far.
So not things like summoning dudes or taking a bullet for a comrade, but everything that glows, for sure.
This scares me in broom paladin. Discount librum of wisdom to zero then throw this down with pen flingers and brooms and now you have solid board in a can with health gain
Hmm...you never played Violet Teacher in Libram Paladin, and idk if this is better enough to justify slotting it in.
This is one of those cards that looks OP in the reveal season....
librams are holy spells, its so broken
Depends on how many cheap holy spells are playable. Good status, but dunno if exciting enough to leave a mark!
Violet Teacher hasn't seen play in quite some time, and this is more restrictive but also slightly stronger in effect. Might see play in Libram Paladin, but I'd rather play new Kazakus.
Cool card, but not "super super strong". U can ganerate some value but need time or a lot of cheap holy spell in hand. Even with Libram of Wisdom u must have double discounted and draw it on turn 4 (so a perfcet hand/draw). Later on u can use multiple Libram of Wisdom, but the opponent have more time to respond. Broomstick add some extra power
This would be a pretty middle-of-the-road card, but since every secret in Paladin is a Holy spell, this is a great way to quickly reload your board in the late game.
Sadly this has to be a 4 mana card which means no Kazakus shenanigans if this is good. And boy is this one good. Librams are already cheap and you can absolutely chain Libram of Wisdom with broom to basically just have full board around turn 5-6. And you get that with 2 cards. Against aggro decks, that's basically the nail in the coffin unless they have some sort of board clear.
The real question is whether this can replace Pen Flinger, and I'm not exactly sure on that. In certain matches this card is simply better but pen flinger makes a good argument for itself by being good overall in most matches.
I'll say this card sees play, there's very little reason why it shouldn't. But it might take a while
Looks decent, but depends on other cards a lot. Could see this in token Paladin
ok stat with really good effect. Can easily be a threat for aggro decks. Control paladin will probably run this alongside holy healing cards
Again, depending on how the spell classification unfolds will determine the value this card will bring.
This, with libram of wisdom, will end the career of aggro decks.
I think this could easily see play as at least a one-of in Libram Paladin since the Libram spells were confirmed to be holy spells. If you have enough of these discounted spells and an Animated Broomstick in hand, you could have an almost full board of 2/2 medics with rush that all heal for two.
Has everything going well and I think this will be really good. Synergy is something it has and a lot of
I like it, works really well with that new +1/+1 spell and this will hopefully thrive.
Would be a better fit in a priest deck.
Again, I'm not a fan of holy spells, they don't seem to crazy...
There's some cheap holy spells. I'm not sure how many you get before this dies, and 2 health minions die to most AoEs.
Let's see what kind of cheap Holy spells end up being worth using, besides Libram of Wisdom of course. If this thing pumps out tokens and you buff them, it could be very nice.
Actual card name: Violet Warmedic
Yup, we're all doomed
so slow cant be a good card at least in the curent meta
This + discounted Libram of Wisdom on turn 4 seems great, I´d use it in my Pure Paladin.
Nice nice nice, love it
Very nice card that can snowball if left unchecked. And with the librams being holy spells, (apparently it's already confirmed) this will definitely see play. Actually excited to play paladin for once
I can't believe they're printing this with the Librams around. OMFG.
Solid "vomit your spells" card, not game breaking, but solid enought to grab it in a discover.
Very strong in libram paladin, and alongside Libram of Wisdom and Animated Broomstick can create some VERY hard to deal with boards and provide a lot of healing. Very strong card.
Nice card
Mediocre, but probably very decent in arena
I really like this card!
Nice sustain!
oh my goodness
Yet another solid 4-mana card for Paladin! Will slot nicely into Libram decks, I think.
So good with Librams and Cariel Roame.
Pure pally backup
This seems like a fun token maker. Some heal potential, but small enough it's easy to kill. I like it.
Nice token generator. Lifesteal minions are great buff targets themselves. Will be nice in a Libram deck.
I already am tired of the constant healing available to paladins, this will just make it even more spammy and hard to overcome. Looks like Libram Paladin isn't going anywhere.
Unless you can generate a bunch of cheap Holy spells, this won't work. Similar cards seldom do.
Standard boring Paladin card
Seems like a better version of Violet Teacher, so good card.
Full board of these lifesteals thanks to Librams
If the tokens had taunt this would be pretty op. I do not think this will see a lot of play. Too slow
Great addition for Pure Paladin!
Holy spell synergy, as well as the ability to swarm the board. Works well with the new Holy Spell Synergy legendary also.
are librams holly?
good card
Miracle paladin, arise! For real, Libram paladin seriously has just way too many good stuff to choose from.
Play the Legendary on Turn 4, then this, then a 1-cost Holy on Turn 5.
Libram decks might want this, but in all other cases, this has too little to offer.
It's ok i guess, paladin already has a lot of heals
Not sure of this value, needs to be in a holy spell based pally deck. For that deck, I'm not sure what the win con will be. Heal and buff until you kill your opponent?
Paladins sure did need more healing.
Cool
Libram Paladin
Moore holy support yeah! And sinergy with the legendary
Librans make this card automatically good
Seems nice with librams and holy spells in general - would like to play with this and see
Good effect, but I doubt this will end up in any refined lists. I feel like the 2/2 themselves are going to be more important than the fact that they have lifesteal.
good
Violet Teacher but only with Holy spells. In exchange for that restriction, you get much better bodies summoned from the spells. I like this as a build around and Holy spell payoff, but I don't think that kind of deck will be very good when compared with the other things going on in the Barrens.
Casting 0-cost holy spell with this card, in pure paladin, could be good, but i think that we have enough good cards in Pure pala, so we have nothing to switch for this card.
Strong stats and a very good effect, this might actually see some play
Violet Teacher 2.0 for paladins.
Potential synergy with librams
can be good in theory but probably no
Libram support, nice.
Libram Paladin really likes this. Just make sure you have a few Holy spells on hand and you're away.
Not sure this will see play. Paladin has other resources for healing.
I can already see this being really annoying to play against. Paladin has quite a few holy spells, so if this isn't cleared quickly things could get out of hand. Mid-range paladin incoming?
I think I like this, but I do hate how we've still got a bit of guesswork to do for Spell School synergy cards. Well... hate isn't right - I'm actually kind of excited to deckbuild after seeing them - but it's a little hard to judge them right now.
Stats are okay. If you can get a couple of triggers off of it, you are paid off for the cost.
good with discounted spells
This is pretty synergistic with Libram Paladin, which has Animated Broomstick, multiple cheap holy spells with Libram of Wisdom, and cares about the lifesteal. You also more reliably get holy spells with Knight of Anointment, making Veteran Warmedic a consistently threatening card.
