Paladin got a better Spirit Lash? I'm shocked
Pretty good against aggro!

To me, this is one of the most surprising things this entire set because paladin NEVER gets damage dealing spells. Unless I have missed something, this is their first one since the Classic set. It's weird that they add this just after replacing Classic with Core to (largely) sort out that quirk of class design.
Anyway, weirdness aside, it's clearly a good card, even before accounting for tradeable.
Huh...so maybe Control Paladin does become a thing. I mean we do have Equality and Barov to turn this into an efficient boardclear. Not sure why it has tradeable though, I doubt i'd ever want to shuffle this back in my deck.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Nice control card vs aggro decks. How often do you hold it in the mirror match to ping off divine shields?
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Spirit Lash, but has tradeable for when you don't need it immediately. Great card!
Nice Tradeable card. Run it with Talented Arcanist.

Why does Paladin have a Priest card?
I would say the not hitting allies is actually a bit of a downside healing wise. Spirit Lash does have that.
Still tradeable is quite strong.

Though most of the time in priest you also want the healing you get from your minions.
Still this is better because of tradable.
Another insane card, but perhaps for the wrong class.
Because paladin generally don't play control. This card is a good start, but so much more is needed. The only thing I can see out of this card is being included into quest paladin with cards like Lord Barov, or Bloodmage Thalnos, since nearly all quest decks this time round is slow as hell.
Insanely strong, but not enough to carry a control paladin by itself.
I guess you might trade this if your opponent only has 1 or 2 minions. Could get you a decent heal, but 1 damage isn't going to kill much. Not unless you play something like Equality first.
One sided spirit lash could be really good.
Very powerful with Equality effects, especially since it's one-sided and cheaper than [Hearthstone Card (Consecrate) Not Found].
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Really good with all the ways paladin can set their enemies to 1 hp and vs aggro too. Tradable is just a plus.

Spirit Lash for Paladin, what is not to like about this card and Tradeable too, profit!
Good combo with equality/Barov. Can also be combined with spell damage sources (neutral sources) to make the aoe/heal improved.

Could be a nice heal and is a board wide ping, but... Seems pretty meh withough spell damage or being at 1 mana to go in the quest deck.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Even tho it's not supported by anything, it's a cool effect, if the opponent has a full board of tokens, this + Thalnos is +14 HP.

As many have pointed out, this is very similar to Spirit Lash, a control tool which is so strong it is still used in wild amongst the great many board clears priest has at their disposal. And as a bonus, this gets Tradeable too. There is no way this doesn't become a paladin staple for years to come.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Really cool AOE for a control or big paladin deck. It'll be a small amount of healing but could scale with spell damage if you're desperate. Also being tradable makes it extremely flexible
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Well considering that 1 damage is often enough with stuff like Equality and Lord Barov this is solid card

Spirit Lash for paladin hmmm, that's interesting. Seems honestly kinda bad unless token decks get popular. Still it should be mentioned that it's good alongside Lord Barov and Libram of Justice.
Actually i guess this will only be usefull in standard as long as token druid and this new swarm hunter are popular, otherwise it probably wont see play.
In wild i dont think it sees play, because most popular paladin decks in wild are just ODD Paladin. However OTK paladins might maybe slot 1 in for the survivability it might provide?
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
nice tradeable card
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Potential to be really strong, really depends on what decks one will be up against tho, as you only hit and thus heal from enemy minions. Worthless againt minion-poor decks.
Very powerful control card alongside Lord Barov. I think this will see play in just about every Paladin deck that isn't all about aggro or tempo. Like it a lot!
Arena > Wild > Standard
Very powerful Spirit Lash, but better because don't spoil your own board
Seems a bit too low impact since Paladin doesn't have much access to + Spell Damage
Such a weird card when compared to Spirit Lash and Arcane Explosion, both of which it is generally better than even without the Tradeable. Lash at least has some use in damaging your own stuff sometime so it isn't a complete upgrade, but like 90% of the time it is.
I dunno. I guess this fits Paladin, but it still feels really weird to see.
