My guess is that this is printed to support arcane mage, but its more likely an inclusion into frost mage, to chance up a vexallus out of nowhere. Whenever Vexallus is too slow, you can just take other options like Prismatic Elemental etc.

Im not that keen on this card to be honest. Aside from its condition, its also not that great because whatever elemental you discover is unlikely to dig you out of a jam, and if youre winning then this card is just plain average.

That seems pretty strong. There's plenty of ways to just abuse this as a very safe boardclear. Thank god it doesn'T hit face.

Why does this costs 4? Most spells from the past are garbage anyways, so why overprice it by this much? Are we afraid of Casino Mage domination?

Ice Block is back in standard?

I'm not sure: once upon a time it would have been broken, but we've had quite a bit of power creep since then. I expect it to be good, but not first in line for nerfs.

The first with Windfury on the card at least: the Adapt keyword could also give you Windfury. In the case of Galvadon even pretty reliably.

I don't think The Purator would fit in the current Pure Paladin, as that decks tries to end the game by turn 7/8 instead of drawing more cards.

It might fit into a Pure version of Dragon Paladin, as that deck already runs The Leviathan, so you could use The Purator as a tutor for that. Also Lightray is a card you'd run in a Pure Paladin deck and it is dual-tribe now, so I expect you'd draw both copies. Not sure how much you'd miss Kazakusan though: would the hero power from Lightforged Cariel be sufficient to win long games?

Another option would be a Pure Control Paladin that tutors Anachronos. Again the question is what the win condition would be: there are decks which can do huge amounts of damage, so you can't just wait for fatigue.

Warrior:

Training Session - it reminds me discovering Frightened Flunky over and over again. Anyway, 1 mana discover is always good, and discover more is even better

Fleshshaper - much better version of Tomb Warden, 2 mana cheaper, 2 health more and insignificant requirement

Hookfist-3000 - that's just crazy card, I think they want to bring quest pirate warrior back but I'm not sure that one OP card can do that.

Wasn't Priest like this like, for whole lifespan? I mean, Ress Priest, Big Priest, Raza Priest, Mind Blast OTK Priest, Divine Spirit Priest back then, Bless Priest not a long time ago, and so on and so on

As far as I remember, the only time Priest wasn't THAT annoying was when control version with Archbishop Benedictus was shining, I loved 30+ min games with that deck lol

First, you have to be very bonze trash!! While the paladin gets a legendary card with an idiotic and pathetic effect, the shaman gets the possibility to transform Goldshire Gnoll into Thaddius, Monstrosity and win the game in the same turn for free!

You take all the standard mode paladin cards and shove them in the trash, the shaman obliterates any paladin shhit!

Mana refreshes at the start of your turn, not the end. So if your opponent kills this, it will only drain your unspent mana crystals from last turn.

This is just Lock'n'Load for Warrior. Great in Arena (probably) but in Constructed it's probably just trash. Too much garbage in the neutral pool.

If this is your only Mech, then you aren't holding a Mech when you play this.

Still not a win condition but hey, it gives Control Warrior something to do and if you really want to commit to it you can do a Taunt-Control Warrior build that just aims to drop some fat taunts that your opponent just can't get through.

THat's a pretty insane ball of stats. Granted, you'll rarely draw more than 1 card, but hey, it's basically a free shieldblock glued to a vanilla 3-drop, and I feel like that's good enough.

I wonder if it makes the cut in Enrage Warrior

is it just me or is Hookfist-3000 kind of insane?

Shove it up your ASS, who created this garbage in the form of a card! A 5 mana legendary to have such a rubbish effect? Where is Microsoft that doesn't fire these incompetent people??

1. Play Order in the Court
2. Draw your N'Zoth, God of the Deep
3. ...
4. Profit with The Purator?

I really dont know how to rate this card, because it seems good and yet there's just some games you'll never want to draw this at all. Kinda like Blood Crusader, in that its very powerful but just unplayable in certain metas.

It can heal you, but will you really keep this in hand until turn 7 for that? Most aggro decks will finish you off by then and control decks just dont care. If the meta turns to control then this is great, but otherwise its just a dead weight in hand.

Just another option for turn 4. Its really not that great to be honest even with that windfury, because odds are it'll never survive the turn its played anyway.

Not worth it to twist and turn just to make this work. The only way it'll see play is that dragon pally turns aggressive, and at present Im not seeing it.

On average this card will likely draw you three cards, one of them being Lightray so there's a chance you'll get another 5/5 taunt for nothing.

And there's also the fact that this practically tutors certain cards. There's no telling the extent what this can do but whatever it is its going to be a main staple in pure paladin.
