    A bit clunky, since he's really just a vanilla 4/6, kinda wish they added at least one keyword to this.

    I get that the main strength is supposed to be the Libram package and the insane value it gives you, but playing this will always feel bad yet necessary.

    This is basically Shield of Galakrond without the Taunt which just seems a bit slow. Let's hope Libram Paladin has a strong enough gameplan to justify this

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Another good libram support card. Not as good as the small guy, but the cost reduction is bigger and it has a taunt. I guess they stopped going in the secret/aggro pala direction and decided to go 180 and try controlly pala. I can't say I am not happy.

    Way better than the little Guy. Bigger Reduction and it's not a 5 Mana do Nothing.

    Too slow for Tempo purposes, but good for more classic Midrange plans.

    Taunt is very good on this one, another good vanilla stat'ed card with a good themed effect. Will see play in Libram decks for sure.

    Given the wording, I assume this applies even for Librams generated after Aldor Truthseeker is played, which is quite strong. Even just one makes Libram of Wisdom free for the game, not to mention cards generated from Lady Liadrin

    Better call Thrall!

    But 5 mana taunts been played in almost every meta, even without a synergetic boost.
    It may be better than you give it credit for - or it may be worse than I rated it - only time will tell.

    Its not a 5 mana do nothing. Its 5 mana, reduce selected spells by 2 cost, and more crucially, it has taunt. The taunt alone makes it worth it. So even at worst, its a 5 mana 4/6 taunt. Good enough honestly.

    Reducing the cost of libram spells may not seem like much, but there's a good chance you get to actually play the spells the same turn you play this, so there's something to that.

    The Libram archetype isinteresting. Especially libram pure Paladin looks promising. 5/6 taunt for 5 mana are also good stats.

    I know. That's why I wrote it down.  ;) 

    It has a bigger Cost Reduction than the other Guy and the Fact it has Taunt makes this Card a good on-curve Play (or a 5 Mana do Something). 

    I probably should have put a comma somewhere in my first Comment, sry!

    Must use in any libram using paladin deck. Amazing card.

    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.

    Great minion, great Battlecry. Even if you grab this off Lightforged Crusader and you're not running Librams, it's still good.

    Again, they definitely want Paladin to use Librams, we will have to wait and see whether they are competitive, if they are this card will be a staple.

    Amazing card, and the reason that Libram paladin will see some amount of play.

    I sure hope libram paladin works, or else there is an entire set without anything for them...

    I think Librams have good chance to be played, this card is core to librams it saves you a lot of mana over the game I think you want to keep it in mulligan if you can...

    The problem with librams is that they don't fit into highlander decks.

    Strong card thanks the effect. Whitout this card the pack "libram" will be to weak to see play probably

    This seems like a nice card for pure pally deck. Works well with Lady Liadrin to get all of the spells back too.

    Entirely depends on if Librams see more support as to whether this card sees play. The body is not great for the cost, but curves well into Wild Pyromancer + Libram of Justice

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    I think this card will see play because Shield of Galakrond sees play and also because the librams are good enough to be worth playing a sub-par vanilla taunt minion.

    It's a slightly better Shield of Galakrond, stat wise, and it makes the spells you'd be runnin in the game MUCH cheaper. 

    I mean, you want to absolutely play him on curve to maximize the effect but still

    This card is double-edged play. Depends on how librams will impact the meta. If they screwed, this will be another archetype and card that is the part of forgetten archetypes crypt.

    Pretty nice card, half decent taunt with an upside that helps out a good bit. Can discount these quite a bit altogether

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Solid stats, and an effect that lasts for the whole match. Very good card, indeed.

    I'm a fan of the whole Libram package. I am looking forward to seeing how Paladin shapes up in the meta to come. The pure Paladin archetype seems pretty nice to play now.

    Enables Librams. Though we must not forget the small guy.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Goes great with the Libram cards, which I personally like. The body is okay
