You could argue that Paladin is changing the least as a class when you consider that the Legacy cards it is losing are seldom seen these days. Every other class is losing some powerful auto-includes, but Paladin gets to keep all of theirs.

Dude Paladin has always been interesting to me, but it never seems to be strong enough to truly succeed. I worry that the lil guys are gonna need a health boost in addition to the tools we've seen, or they won't live long enough to make an impact. Lothraxian is all well and good, but as a legendary, he can't exactly be counted on to show up early in the game when you need him most.

THIS ... this is one of the (if not THE) best defensice 1 drops in the game

It can be used eighter as a chumb blocker for 2 units or 2 attackers for just 1 mana. It is a solid answer to every onedrop exept fearsome ones and goes crazy with eighter the general buff effects or  death triggers...

Now this card is in my oppinion REALLY strong. simply because it resembles an undying attacker that triggers repeated death triggers, summon trigger hecarim lvl up for just 2 mana ... oh wait... that is what The Undying does already right? Exept that we makes the opponent want to block the unit, is 1 mana cheaper and does the death/summon trigger thing better than The Undying

To me this makes clear that the sandsoldier archetype will be played in SI featuring the plenty ephemeral/death effects from SI and it makes clear that this archetype will struggle against aggro/midrange... its literally The Undying 2.0 imo

And I know one Soul Shepherd who is even happier.

The new Hearthstone is about the board, not face burn, not hard control. In that light, cards like Aegwynn and the hero power cards make sense, as well as the deletion of cards that freeze the entire enemy board or transform key minions.

The Core Mage kit may seem to lack win conditions, but I think that's a good thing. Instead of seeing the same old one-trick pony for the whole year, we get to see Mage strategy evolve and expand with each expansion.

This is just a cool idea, honestly!  Hard to think just Core cards will be very competitive, but I think this showcases that the Core set is much stronger than the old Legacy sets if you’re able to put together at least a potentially viable deck.

And of course, even if this specific deck isn’t super strong, the idea is there.  And a deck like this can provide a framework for F2P or new(er) players to build off of, swapping in cards they unpack.  Which is also a nice way for new players to learn and become better at deck building.

All around, I love it!

Not bad, but also not particularly good... Proably will see some play in the azir archetyoe but nowhere else

If sandsoldiers are good this card is awesome, if they are not, this card is mediocre. I guess we have to see anyways: the ties with Shadowisles are obvious and we proably will see an azir hecarim archetype.

this is kinda a bad Voice of the Risen. However i can see the combination of both general type followers being devestating, espeicially in ephemeral decks

A free 6/6 for aggressive midrange deck?! That is very interesting however we got to see many times that these giant-style minions tend to be bad in LoR. So will it be good? Arbiter of the Peak Plaza Guardian and Scuttlegeist all were a fail so I am not too confident that this will be different. However this card could be an absolute powerhouse in ephemeral decks... or actually not because otherwise Scuttlegeist would see play already...

3 mana 3/5 Rush with upside

3 mana 3/5 with big upsides

2 mana 2/4 with upside

2 mana 3/3 with upside

6 mana 3/11 Taunt with upside

It is very easy to create so blatantly overpowered cards, but this is just sign of bad design

Hopefully they revert the nerf on Saronite Chain Gang to make it happen.

That's nice and all but no one here is complaining about how faithful she is to the lore. You should post this in her champion reveal page.

I find the colours matching very well with the new Diao Chan Valeera portrait!

Agreed, it's such a waste. You get to see your opponent's mainly when they discover something, and you pretty much never get to see your own.

She is one of my favourite champ in LoL and I won't even want to try her in LoR. SHAME !

Where is the all trickstery about her ?

I'm so angry at Riot, all of my favourite champs in LoL are crap in LoR. I know it is so early to say that she will be bad or good but she is not interesting to play neither.

They might even use Jandice Barov - like effect for her passive in LoL like; "When I die, Instead I am summoned again with 1 health and with my Mirror." And Mirror could have a text like "Your opponent can't see this text. I can't deal damage and whenever i take damage, i die." You simply level-up her for nothing. Because she won't survive for another 15+ damage most of the times and her requirement is "I saw" which is bad most of the times. She needs to be on board with her little hp.

Her blinks, Her Trickstery, All are gone for this Aggro crap. I had my hopes that some mage-like plays can be implemented to Noxus with LeBlanc. Now all is gone. They really want Noxus to be pure aggro region. That doesn't have to be. Red  in Mtg isn't like that. Even Hunter has some cool mechanics in Hs.

I am really disappointed. I will keep my high hopes for Akali -the other favourite champion of me- for some interesting plays it seems and will wait to see when she will be released.

Bloody Business is situational Whirling Death, that you don't have to wait for combat, Sigil of Malice is worse Mystic Shot. Whispered Words is just a good card tho, but not interesting.

Black Rose Spy might be good, but delayed most of the times. You might be too late to play her most of times and for duping Champs, there are better options.

Thorn of the Rose is just a filler to give cheaper 5 attack to players that is interested in Reputation but doesn't have enough cards. Most worthless of these. Not even related with LeBlanc. Seems like "Leblanc also can stun your enemies like in LoL!" stuff that Riot wants to say.

The only interesting card here is Mimic to gain copies of fast and Slow spells that your opponent cast. Might be the best card of this reveal.
