It took me twice as long to defeat the boss with the Samuro comp: I defeated Snowclaw in *two* turns! ;) Thank you for the awesome guide, and I'm delighted to receive Yogg as the reward!
The card draw is probably better than the minion buff, but that's good too. What's also nice is that after the turn you play this, you can buff and draw for free, leaving all your mana crystals available for the other things you want to do.
Three freezes and three 2/2s for 3 mana doesn't seem bad. Of course the weakness is that it has to be spread over five turns, and I'm expecting some location removal to be revealed sometime in the future.
If by some miracle you can infuse it by turn 4 this card is amazing.
The problem is most paladin aggro decks can't really draw or generate enough stuff on board. So the idea that this card is infused by turn 4 is kinda iffy, though certainly not impossible.
But it does summon two dudes. So if the synergy works then this card would be in it.
Honestly, I dont want to crap on legendaries so early, but this is trash. Even if it was printed back in 2016 it would still be teetering on the edge of being viable, that's how bad it looks right now.
For a start, being a deathrattle means it needs to first die for your dudes to get big and even after that without further help its only buffing one dude. And of course its perpetually at the mercy of silences, which means even if this card manages to reach tier 1, it can be countered easily.
And then there's the cost. This thing is slow, too slow. 3 mana for a chance to spawn a 4/4 in future, and only one 4/4 at a time after its dead. Even the shittiest aggro deck would end your life way before your 4/4 starts mattering.
The only way steward can get better is that we get something to duplicate its effect, or some crazy card that makes your deathrattles immune to silences. Or dude synergy is inherently so powerful that you'll play this card regardless of its powerlevel. Dude synergy hasn't worked since odd pally in the old baku/genn days, and I just dont see this card stopping that trend anytime soon.
If the hypothetical dude pally must work it would be because of this card.
But the best thing about this card is that it fills up your hand with two paladin cards, which makes it possible to power up your snobs and gnolls. That alone makes this card viable in my opinion. Forget the dude synergy. If I can play a 5/4 rush gnoll for 1-2 mana on 4, that's real power.
The dudes also help power up infuse cards, which is a neat bonus. All in all, this is a decently good card with a competitive edge.
Perhaps team5 have finally cracked the code and found out that spending 2 mana to summon a 1/1 is about as threatening as a week old puppy. The two commons listed here are decent, but the legendary absolutely sucks. I have absolutely no idea why its a deathrattle, costs 3, and somehow we're supposed to be amazed by it.
I mean, just have a look at how murloc shaman/warlock work and you can instantly see why these dude synergy cards are doomed to failure. A murloc deck left unchecked can threaten to end games at about turn 4, whereas this thing is just getting started.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the rest of the unrevealed cards for paladin will make up for it and suddenly dude pally will be tier 1, but as it stands currently I can't see it. If you want to play dudes, you're better off just playing quest paladin, which currently is untiered.

Brann Bronzebeard actually works quite well for this task, as long as you never click his second ability (Fire). After a few cracks of his whip (first ability), my mercs were effectively immune to Frost damage.
I tried to take control of the Shards using N'Zoth, but for some reason they don't count as minions. I also tried to copy Shards using Kazakus, Golem Shaper, but those copies were golems with Shard abilities rather than actual Shards, so that didn't work either. Fortunately, I had picked up a reward that gave Kazakus +7/+7 for each character that dies, so he was huge by the end of the battle.
I haven't looked at constructed in a while. I do enjoy Mage the most though, so nice to find some Big Spell decks for ideas. Is the only point of Mailbox Dancer to combo with Barbaric Sorceress? Seems kinda unreliable...

Deathrattle Druid? That a thing? That doesn't seem to fit thematically with the nature class.

Did a Hearthstone Developer Tease a Card of Denathrius’ Flying Sword?
My guess will be that it will start as a weapon with a reasonably high attack, 4 or 5 but with 1 durability
Rattle says: destroy enemy minion and summon the minion with deathrattle: equip this weapon.
That way you go killing enemies with the weapon, summon a copy and when the minion dies weapon comes back again.
Just needs better wording than i gave it.

Playing two in one turn to kill off all of your skeletons and resummon a full board. That's my guess at least.

It will most likely have the Infuse keyword and that will be the transition, would be my guess.

Maybe, if there's a card that says "Silence a location". All Silence cards so far specify minions.

can a location be silenced?
