Hm interesting on curve especially in Paladin. But even of curve can be pretty good... for example have this with Brawl in Warrior, and even if you lose the Brawl, you still have 5/5 taunt protecting you. And if you win it is even better, now you have the survivor AND a 5/5 taunt
Weapons work best with spellburst I'd say, since they can only be removed by a few cards. Could be included in Big Paladin, (if that's a thing), to have early-ish boardpresence.
So how long until Sorcerer's Apprentice cant reduce spells lower than 1 ? Because i can already imagine Wild Quest Mage just ditching the quest and straight up burning people with this and Flamewakers
Pretty powerful just based on the fact that it's so far the only Spellburst card that's not a minion and therefore is more likely to stick around for a turn.
The flipside is if you want to use it efficiently you have to use it the next turn in most cases (unless you can justify just playing a weapon that you're not going to use)
Hmmm...what is a kind of weapon both paladins and warriors will use?
I know. Its going to be a big hammer, colored red, and christened with the name 'ceremonial'
A little underwhelming at first glance. Well, okay, its very underwhelming.
Theoretically you play this, and next turn get a massive taunt minion, but since warrior rarely plays big spells (biggest Ive seen is perhaps Brawl) and paladin's librams are massively discounted, this will likely just not make the cut in any deck.
Maybe big warrior? with Dimensional Ripper. Not really that amazing to be honest.
Well, that's mainly because if they trade, they don't have that many minions to play back. Now, they can trade safely and still go face later, while living the opponent in a place where's little board pressence.
Seems neat, but there aren't any good 4 Drop Spells in both Classes rn, so curving out and taking full Advantage of the Effect, before the Weapon gets removed, could be tough. The best I can think of is Molten Breath.
From what I've seen in asia masters last week, a 6 mana warglaives just doesn't cut it anymore. Some pros are switching into a more regular aggro deck rather than midrange with plenty of 1-2-3 cards and ditching the usuals like Eye Beam.
This card looks really strong, but I don't know if there's a spot for this in aggressive lists like Tempo DH or Dragon Hunter. On the other hand, Highlander Hunter and Control DH have just tasted Nirvana.
Shit dude, this expansion looks like it has the highest power level since K&C. I don't remember another expansion where so many cards gave me the "that's 5 stars, I'm going to despise this card and it's probably going to get nerfed" reaction.
depends on how it is coded... using coin with The Fist of Ra-den actually doesn't waste anything because there are no 0 mana legendaries. Maybe this weapon also won't trigger of 0 mana spells... who knows... Needs more testing.
If this would feature a targeted effect like [Hearthstone Card (Kabal Shadow Priest) Not Found] it might see some amount of play. In its current form this card is interesting but too unreliable.

Ace Hunter Kreen
Looks like autoinclude in any Tempo deck

New Mage Minion - Mozaki, Master Duelist
It looks like a good finisher for Cyclone mage.
I hope no ridiculous OTK deck gets discovered because it would be a shame for such a cool card to get nerfed.
New Mage Minion - Mozaki, Master Duelist
Very defensily statted, won't be taken out by single spells. Could make an OTK-deck possible.

Then it is really good
New Paladin & Warrior Weapon - Ceremonial Maul
Seems pretty decent, though the weapon itself is a bit slow so I’m not expecting it to see that much play.
Who knows though, maybe they’ll reveal some amazing 4 mana spell to curve into with this

This may provide some extra kick in Paladin, maybe Pure Paladin.
I don't see it in Warrior, at least not with the currently available cards. Not even in Wild.

After. The spell has to resolve first.
Huge Balance Update - Spirit Of Blossom
Niftty finally made a quality post, good job this time.
Agree with most of your statements, i believe many of those predictions will turn out right.
Simply put, i think any deck that can abuse Relentless Pursuit will be top tier after this patch.
New Paladin & Warrior Weapon - Ceremonial Maul
Meh, not so sure about it. Decent i would say because you will also get a Minion on the Board after you played it.
But i also wait for funny videos about this card, because im sure someone will try to coin out a spell with this weapon equipped :)
