.... Also, man, the Paladin legendary characters are feeling really out of place. Turalyon doesn't make a ton of sense in Scholomance, let alone as a professor, and Yrel has little to nothing to do with the Faire or the Old Gods in general. At least the Silver Hand Recruits look like theyre at the Faire to have a good time, she does not look happy at all. If anything I would have thought Outland to be the place for her character, but oh well.
Turalyon will probably confuse me until the end of days, but I can at least understand the timing of Yrel, if not the setting. I imagine they wanted another Pure Pally card before DoD rotates out, and Yrel is the leader of the over-zealous Lightbound in modern day alternate Draenor, making her the right character for the effect. Maybe one of the Mag'har orcs told her to chill out for a bit, so she's gone to Darkmoon Faire to (try to) do that?
This is certainly no unity, precision, perfection. It is however a good way to deal with aggro in a deck that can already deal well with aggro. And, more importantly, a deck that's boring as hell to play with.
HAHA I JUST HAD A REALLY FUN AND COOL BUILD IN BATTLEGROUNDS THAT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF AND I WAS AT 29 HP BUT THEN I TOOK 30 DAMAGE BECAUSE OF HORRIBLE COMBAT RNG AND BECAUSE I KILLED MY OPPONENTS BOAT. NICE DAMAGE SYSTEM BLIZZARD.
I feel the thing Dude Paladin needs the most is something that benefits from dudes fighting or dying. That being said, this card is still very interesting in that it corrupts Day at the Faire while it prefers a corrupted Day at the Faire for optimal synergy.
The problem even paladin runs into is that if you run a deck based around silver hand recruits, you would typically spend as much mana as you can each turn to generate them, which means that while mana:recruits ratio is the same for odd and even, odd has the ability to summon twice as many recruits per turn.
This card isn't really enough to change that, and I don't think that this will see much play.
More support for dudes is never a bad thing, but knowing me, I'd only want to play this card after playing corrupted Day at the Faire so I'll be dead by then :D
This card will only see play if a menagerie deck is viable, which I hope it is. The low mana cost makes this card look promising, especially if you can get buffs on some bigger dragons like Deathwing, Mad Aspect but I don't see how the deck will survive after Year of the Phoenix is over and all the good dragons from DoD rotate out. Time will tell
Oooo, I was to get theorycrafting with this card right away! With Boom Squad and N'Zoth, God of the Deep, super keen on what a warrior menagerie deck will look like
Wild: possibly, Standard: unlikely. The latter just lacks the refill tools like Malchezaar's Imp. The value of sacrificing one card for +1/+1 heavily depends on your current board as well, so it might be a dead card in a lot of situations.
zoolock use to play low mana cards and have the best hero power that allows him to draw cards.
Interesting design, and with the low mana cost of ETC, we'll definitely see some OTK attempts, as they're already being theorised in this discussion. Considering Warrior has the most rush minion in the class, this card is gonna be fun! :D
Oh yea, like everyone is saying, this card will be played in zoo, and your best target atm is Boneweb Egg. But would the 2/1 spiders also get the buff?
Edit: After reading, I found the answer, they will get buffed! :D pretty sweet
New Paladin Minion - High Exarch Yrel
Slow Zilliax first thing came to mind.
Likely an auto include in any pure pally list.

New Paladin Minion - Balloon Merchant
well that's the dude synergy we needed for Day at the Faire to make sense great card!
with air raid as well we now have a lot of flood for this guy wonder if there will be another aoe buff for dudes

You can do it without new cards. It's top tier wild deck. Just odd pala
Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

This card makes me wonder if Dude-Paladin could be a thing next expansion ... we will see.

I wish this was an odd card
Magma Rager
Best card ever!
New Paladin Minion - Balloon Merchant
I don't quite understand how balloons give +1 Attack and Divine Shield :D
Love the C'Thun balloon!
New Paladin Minion - Balloon Merchant
It's even paladin's newest toy.

New Paladin Minion - High Exarch Yrel
8 mana is just too much for this effect, even if you disregard the deckbuilding constraints.
If you want a big heal + removal, paladin has many options that are better than this.
I doubt that this sees play.
High Exarch Yrel
Pure Paladin not gonna get nerfed in a long time.
New Paladin Minion - High Exarch Yrel
Oh boy... we already know libram paly is a T1 deck :( so this card is an auto 5/5 stars. Paly will have such insane heals now, they will beat priest
Edit: Oh and on the subject of priest, if they manage to copy this card from the opponent's deck, it's basically useless to them :D

Soulbound Ashtongue
Rated as one of the worst card in expanion. Now part of Silas OTK combo xD
New Warrior Minion - Ringmaster Whatley
Oooo, I was to get theorycrafting with this card right away! With Boom Squad and N'Zoth, God of the Deep, super keen on what a warrior menagerie deck will look like
New Warlock Spell - Wicked Whispers
zoolock use to play low mana cards and have the best hero power that allows him to draw cards.
And yes, Malchezaar's Imp is an abomination, but Hand of Gul'dan are still in Standar.
New Warrior Minion - E.T.C., God of Metal

The Nameless One is a New Priest Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
It's basically The Darkness with 16 less health and attack, it doesn't go dormant and has a different card text.
New Paladin Minion - Carousel Gryphon
This card is good in standard, but INSANE in arena... I'm now scared of paladins again.
On the subject of Duels though, would Turalyon's HP summon the corrupted version of this card? I'm assuming it would
