    Strongest card of the set? This will be immensely strong in Wild.

    Arena > Wild > Standard

    Handbuff Paladin comeback in Standard?

    Kinda looks like it.

    Absolute nuts, how is a card this good even allowed?

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    I always underestimate the impact of +1/+1 to a large group. Does this come out on curve for only 3-4 minions at best or do you hold it for later turns in hopes of increasing your hand size to get more buffs?

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Grimestreet Outfitter, but also draws a minion. I could see this seeing play, especially if some sort of aggro paladin comes about.

    This is super good value. 3 for a 2/2 is meh... but the fact that is replaces itself in your hand, and then buffs ALL minions in your hand?!?  That is amazing

    Handbuff and Draw. This card is great. Even without a dedicated handbuff deck this is just a strong card.

    Very simply, this is a very good card. Always draws a minion, and not only buffs them but also the rest of your hand. Even if Divine Shield Paladin doesn't survive the first week of the expansion, I fully expect this guy to find his place in lists.

    Candidate for nerfs no. 1.

    Everytime I see this in the theorycrafting stream its completely nuts. Like its good enough for it to just buff the hand, but it draws as well? Curves well into First Blade of Wrynn too. What was the thinking process behind the design of this thing?

    Insane card, extremely overstatted. Will see play in any paladin deck.

    Handbuff is still strong in wild, and this seems incredible in it, 5/5.

    I'm pretty sure this is going to be good. The draw increases the number of minions that get buffed.

    One of my few 5 star cards.

    Does so much for 3 mana: 2/2 body, cycles, buffs (which includes the newly drawn card). 

    Even if paladin isn't good, this will be a strong card.

    This seems good. Don't know if paladin has the comeback mechanics for this though. 

    Chumbawumba is the worst band name.

    Decent card in Standard, but has a lot of competition in Wild. I doubt this will make the final cut in Wild Handbuff Paladin.

    Handbuff generally had issues of not "hitting" enough targets in hand to make the handbuff archetype great.  The fact that this draws a minion to replace itself before handbuffing is outstanding.

    They are insane for printing this card... Even Dean said that he played Handbuff Paladin in Wild... So... I guess there are no favorites..?

    This is possibly one of if not the best handbuff card out there, the added draw makes a huge difference. With this and some of the other support cards this set, handbuff paladin could easily be T-2.

    Incredible card, honestly this might be the best paladin card in this set. Yes even better than the questline. Its handbuff AND targeted draw, which is good in a lot of paladin decks. Also paladin is not the greatest at drawing cards, so any draw is appreciated.

    In standard it will see play in this new handbuff divine shield paladin deck, maybe also in the questline deck.

    In wild it's NUTS. Handbuff paladin is already a high tier 2 deck, and Alliance Bannerman will make the deck even better. I dunno if it will make the deck tier 1, but at least it will get a lot closer to it.

    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.

    If hand buff paladin comes back and is very good, it's due to this card alone. Draw a minion then give +1/+1 to all others in your hand is very strong. This card will see a lot of play in the wild hand buff deck too

    Looks strong, if handbuff Paladin becomes competitive this card will be great. If it doesn't, it'll still work well in Arena

    I was a little more tepid on this in my review article, but every time I come back to it it just looks better and better. Maybe my handbuff hype is just tricking me, but I love this a lot.
