    Just a very good card for the deck. Also makes including the Libram package in Pure Paladin more appealing, because that deck needed 2-drops anyways.

     

    It just feels a bit boring. I wish they made it like a 2/2 with Divine Shield for more internal synergy, but I guess that would be way too much.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    A very solid card. If you have even 1 libram in your deck, it's kinda a must. But even if you don't (I don't see a reason why you shouldn't) - it's a strong body for t2 play.

    This Mechanic sounds interesting, though I'm not convinced yet. Like, if you don't draw your Librams, this is essentialy just a River Crocolisk. And if you don't play your Reductions, you play with overcosted Spells.

    I'm pretty sure this is the first Common card in the game with a permanent effect.

    That's at least some type of milestone.

    I hope more Librams are released in time, and possibly a dedicated Legendary card too (Liadrin has synergy but not with all Librams, and she's just a Value card anyway).

    Attendant is very good to build up Tempo, Truthseeker might be too slow for a real Tempo deck (by turn-5 you want to be pushing for Tempo swings already).

    Good vanilla stats and a strong effect in dedicated decks. Will see play in Libram decks.

    If you're going to the library for some librams, then yes you'll be playing this card. Its a vanilla minion with a tiny, tiny upside. But a 2/3 on 2 is already good enough reason to run this, never mind the synergies with librams.

    And as I understand it, the librams get their cost reduced wherever they are, so you dont even need to hold back on this. Just good enough.

    A solid 2 drop that reduces the mana cost of a lot of cards? Yes please! The new libram archetype looks interesting, especially in combination with pure Paladin.

    This one seems good. Vanilla stats and good effect. Will see play in MOST libram decks.

    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.

    Will we ever see a meta where a 2-mana 2/3 that does something else is not worth playing? Hard to imagine.

    It seems they are pushing players to build decks containing Librams, if they are competitive this card will see a lot of play.

    Not as good as her big brother Aldor Truthseeker, but still a decent River Crocolisk that will allow more powerful turns later on.

    I really hope we get to see more Librams down the line in future expansions: it's a cool mechanic and one that's very fitting for the Paladin. Please don't let this become a one-off :(

    Vanilla minion with an upside will always see play. Look at Questing Explorer

    2/3s are ok.. nothing too impressive but if you have the 2 mana libram you can buff this next turn to trade up, so it can gain you tempo quite fast as opposed to a C'thun buffer it reminds me of.

    Solid 2 drop for Libram Package. It will see play for sure like other Libram cards

    low cost for decent stat and positive battlecry. definitely useful in libram decks. other than that it is useless in other pally decks.

    Unlike Aldor Truthseeker, this does not single handedly make your libram of wisdoms cost 0, so I would call this marginally weaker. I will reiterate: This card's power level depends entirely on if librams are a year-long or expansion specific mechanic.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    Great for libram decks. Good stats for a 2-drop so it’s inclusion can be justified even without all the librams.

    I hope libram is not just one time expansion, at least 2 please.

    This card is alright. It is not very exciting, but you will play it when you have to.

    The staple 2 drop in Libram decks.

    even if there's not librams for it to discount like in Arena it's a River Crocolisk

    I like that paladins get away from all the demonic horror by getting absorbed in reading.

    I hope Librams gets wider support for whole year and don't become just an adventure for an expansion.

    Could probably see some play, seems a good bit weaker than the other one though.

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Decent stats and an effect that lasts thoughout the match. Seems like a solid card.

    I think people dismiss the value that a early game card like this brings to a late game archetype. Yes, Aldor Truthseeker has a bigger effect. But if you don't challenge the board early, you'll be dead by the time its effect triggers.

    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)

    2 for a 2/3 is pretty decent and it’s ability is nice as well
