Explorer's Hat for Paladins.
0:27 on the video looks like Supremus, which also looks like the thumbnail in the IamThanh reveal in less than 2 hours.
Edit: Bummer.
Cool new mechanic! Any clue if they will print more Librams in upcoming expansions?
I'm excited to try pure pala with all the librams.
Seems interesting.
Paladin really needed something like this, a new mechanic that helps give it a new identity other than Divine Shields and Buffs to help bring back a more control style paladin. I'm excited to give this a try!
Overdue Justice may be the best pun they have produced.
Even if the full Libram package is unnecessary, I think Libram of Hope and Hand of A'dal will be played.
Okay, I gave Lady Liadrin some shit prior to this, but the reveal of the libram mechanic forces a rethink. Get the librams low enough and you can start casting like crazy right after slamming Lady Liadrin down. Libram of Hope is in particularly crazy, but I'm a little skeptical how low you can get it in the game. Ideally you want this to be around costing 3 and below so its possible to play this the same turn as Lady Liadrin.
Massive support for pure paladin. In fact, it makes it less of a joke to play with each reveal.
Its worth nothing that paladin still has one of the poorest draw engines in the game (Crystology rotates out) so it remains to be seen whether the impact of librams can help this ailing class. Aside from the poor draw, the libram cost reducing minions are pretty standard vanilla minions on their own, so that's another thing. It may be that the libram tech is extremely powerful, but you've got to first draw and then survive to play them first. Maybe a libram that draws cards is yet to be revealed, because that's what paladin really really needs.
Pure Paladin is gaining some nice tools with the next expansion.
As a main Paladin player I'm really happy with the Libram mechanic (I'm not an aggro player and Mech Paladin is not a deck for me).
I'm not that optimistic about these cards.
Until you draw librams they are 2 mana 2/3 do nothing and 5 mana 4/6 taunt do nothing.
And Librams are okayish at best.
But maybe I'm wrong, and I hope I am, because I like the idea of mono paladin.
I mean we've had vanilla statted minions that advance a later goal succeed.
Hell, Invokers are basically that and Galakrond Rogue is doing fine..
I think you're gonna have to balance out the low tempo of Attendant and Truthseeker by running comeback cards (Like Libram of Justice) or weapons that allow you to keep up in tempo even when you're just playing vanillas (Truesilver or the LIghtforged guy that gives you one)
I actually think the way to go might not even be Mono Paladin but rather a small neutral package so you an use Wild Pyromancer, because it's just incredibly good with both Justice and Wisdom (especially if you've gotten multiple wisdoms out of Liadrin)
We also haven't seen the Paladin Prime yet and that probably support a more midrange/control style
You want to cast a spell? I AM THE SPELL!
I wonder if they will continue printing more librams going forward or if it's just gonna be another dead mechanic after the next expansion, as team 5 loves to do with paladin last few years. I'm still waiting for anything remotely supporting dragon paladin...
Dragon Paladin has a lot of support...it just isn't very good
Cool
Spells that get cheaper is always nice, unless those minions are the last 4 cards in your deck
ok this looks neat. This is the first time I've felt like paladin was getting a good set of cards. This can actually make long game paladin a thing. The minions have good enough bodies to play, the Librams are very strong when reduced but playable even without it, you've got a lot of late game value going on with the legendary for decks that go late. it has potential.
So this is the route they went with, looks fun and might make pure Paladin viable. Are there any more Librams?
With this package revealed, Paladin has just become the class I'm looking forward to play AoO day 1.
Both Libram and Pure look so flavorful and cool: I really hope they'll stand a chance in the future meta.
On a side note, now Lady Liadrin looks A LOT better, given that she can give you some 0 mana spells to play right after; still wished she had Taunt or Divine Shield though...
And it explains her flavor text
Knowledge is Power then
