    Potentially broken as hell, limited only by paladin's minions. Because if this was in any other class it'll be nerfed within week 1.

    So getting The Countess out for free or, better yet, early, seems like a nice choice. But there has got to be something bigger. There's one other legendary left unrevealed so fingers crossed.

    Okay so this is insanely strong. Effects like these have been incredibly OP before, so having this on a battlecry is amazing. You can use this in order to play a big card like Ragnaros, Lightlord for free, cuz Rag will heal you back up. Or maybe Brasswing could alse be decent when cheated out. 

    Now that i think about it, this card seems really solid in multiple archetypes. Pure paladin can use this to get The Countess out earlier, maybe BIG Paladin can use this as a way to "cheat out" BIG minions? Just a very flexible and probably very powerful card.

    The only bad things i can see about this card is that you can only cheat out Paladin minions, and it could potentially lower your HP into Sire Denathrius range, and then your just dead.

    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.

    Pretty massive tempo play, could help Pure Paladin to cheat out Countess  a turn early (and therefore maintain tempo) as well as get a free 8/8 with Ragnaros (given that he heals face)

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Geez, with so much lust for Power, no wonders Paladins are only one class away from being DKs!

    Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :

    Huh, first Paladin card printed with the health instead of mana. Normally a Warlock mechanic, but any class would like being able to play an extra minion. If you were to play Amber Watcher after this, the health cost would be paid before the battlecry resolves, right?

    If this effect was printed for any other class, it's probably be broken as we've seen in warlock with Bloodscent Vilefin. There's not that many big minions in paladin atm that are too scary. This minion also has some anti synergy with Anachronos. I guess adding it to a pure paladin and dropping The Countess or Ragnaros, Lightlord would be a decent play, not bonkers, but decent.

    Potentially broken, but held back by being just Paladin minions, so kinda ends up being meh to me.

    Alright, I'm an idiot and it's only Paladin minions, so it's not as absolutely insane as I thought. Still pretty amazing, though!
