New Paladin Minion - Highlord Fordragon

Hard to evaluate, but could be really sick (and make Showstopper a legit tech card)

At first glance i thought this was insane - sure it is a pretty strong Handbuff but most of the time Paladin has no Rush Minions - at least now and this can easily undone with a silence. But still pretty decent. 

Don Han'Cho vibes from this one. This is pretty good stand alone as a 5/5 with Divine Shield, but break a couple of other ones and it'll be way too much for your opponent to handle. 

This is more handbuffing. Sure, it is big numbers, but the handbuff mechanic remains unproven. I'm skeptical until I see it work on a consistent basis.

With Lothraxion the Redeemed and Silver Hand cards a plenty, are they trying to encourage Dude-adin?

Better Don Han'Cho. If your minions on board have DS, you can get a lot of procs. Going to be a fun card.

I already know that handbuff paladin will work in standard, so unsurprisingly this is one card that will not only be scary but also completely overpowered.

With Seedcloud Buckler, you're looking at buffing a good portion of your hand with +5+5, and if that's not good enough I don't know what is. Perhaps the only counterplay to this would be mutanus. But that's no reason not to just play this in any midrange paladin.

A bit slow, but potential to snowball A LOT. One to watch out for.

The fact that itself has divine shield is huge, I can't see this played anywhere though, maybe a weird midrange deck.
If pure paladdin was still a thing this could see play there.

Since this has Divine Shield itself, you're pretty well guaranteed to get at least 1 +5/+5, and there's a decent number of cheap Divine Shield minions and spells available.

I love this card for divine shield paladin.

Don Han Cho is crying in the corner. Really easy to trigger and get some stuff from it. Handbuff palading might be a real contender this expansion

it will define a new meta

A way better Don Han'Cho that continuously buff minions per divine shield that's broken. Quite an unreliable effect unless you got lots of rush + divine shield minions. Not sure if it's really worth it though

This will straight go into my Divine Shield Paladin Duels build and means instant profit ^_^

It's not a bad card at all. If you already have a divine shield minion on board, you most likely can guarantee +10/+10 in stats.

At best you could probably get minimum two triggers, maybe three. But you would have to be pretty lucky to get four triggers or more.

This does generate a lot of stats, but as a 6 mana card which requires a specific deck to be built around it, I don't expect it to be played at all.

High roll card. 

The scariest thing compared to Don Han'Cho is that Fordragon's hand buffing is repeatable. Might be a bit much to setup a board with Seedcloud Buckler, but dang when that pops off, your opponent better start praying they have Twisting Nether available.

It can land multiple buffs so there are some shenanigans possible

Don Han'Cho is back as a 1 mana cheaper paladin card. 

Okay i think it is actually a lot better than Don Han'Cho because it can buff multiple times. Not only that but paladin has a lot of divine shield synergy already. Think about cards like Imprisoned Celestial. Getting multiple divine shield minions on board should be pretty easy. Oh and maybe even Dude paladin might slot it into their deck, because the dudes get divine shield after playing Lothraxion the Redeemed.

In wild: Thank yogg this card is EVEN costed. maybe it might make EVEN paladin a bit better? Also im not sure if handbuff paladin wants it, because that deck prefers to buff up multiple cheap minions and end the game quickly.

Damn ..! I was already thinking it was quite strong, as Paladin have lots of divine's buff, and I didn't even had thought about all those dudes that could also be bubbled up - you mark a fair point here

This can give you some massive buffs, but the turn you play this, it's nothing more than a mediocre stat bomb. So unless you can consistently get these buffs on impactful minions this is just a bad card. Also, in order to get these massive buffs I feel like you have to run too many other mediocre cards, so I'm not sold on this.

This on turn 10 with 3 or 4 1 mana divine shields and broomstick is the wet dream of handbuff.

It looks strong, but a bit too random to be any good in a practical scenario. Doubt it'll see much play

I've loved this so far, but I think once people start going back to their regularly scheduled good decks we'll see more than enough Silence and Transform to keep this from being anything but a fun meme. Maybe there's some ridiculous Charge kill set-up? How much Charge is even in Standard?

Well right now i would say i underestimated the card a little because right now nobody runs a silence - at least i haven't encountered one so the buff he gives is pretty huge!

He works pretty good in Handbuff Paladin so far!
