Also, all the thinking and deck-building skills are written up really well. It is a great article. If I had the cards, I would definitely play this deck.
reverse Shielded Minibot at first glance this card looks kind of underwhelming but then you realize how sticky it is also it helps the quest A LOT having to run less bad cards for the quest makes it much better.
Also mech paladin is kind of an underrated archtype that doesn't see much play but the win rate is high.
Cool concept but won't see play, too situational if the opponent have a playable cards they will probably play it anyway too techy.. mostly vs control.. or make aggro overextend.. but you just played a 4/3 in a control warlock.. that's kind of too slow as a reactive play.
Honestly, this is actually pretty good. Paladin doesn'T have a ton of solid 2-drops at the moment. This helps most Paladin lists right now.
Micro Mummy is already one of the better cards in Paladin's arsenals just for its sticky quality and this is much better (even if it doesn't beenfit from staying alive)
Honestly, this might get Quest Paladin back onto the menu. The deck has always suffered from not having access to enough good Reborn minions. this accelerates the Quest which allows you to get your value train rolling much faster.
Quest Paladin is also notably powerful against Res Priest because you can outressource them easily while not being bothered by their taunts or heals.
Kangor's + double Mechano Egg + Undatakah is enough even against double Plague of Death (and Shrink Ray's a great tool to just counter their big boards).
The word "playable" is tripping me up. Why not say "Corrupt a card in your opponent's hand." We're going to need some gameplay clarification, like if the card knows it can only corrupt stuff with a mana cost equal or less than your opponent's next turn. If your opponent is holding expensive cards on turn 3, will it essentially do nothing?
I think that's exactly what it means. Which sort of makes sense to me--otherwise you would always just tempo this out on Turn 3 and have a ~60% chance of hitting a card that costs > 4 mana, which sounds broken to me.
Chaos Gazer will definitely kill cards, I'm pretty sure it will be seen play just to ruin cards, combo decks will hate this card for sure, specially in the late games
Shotbot is pretty good with mech synergies and quest.
Dark Prophecy seems like a card you definitely want in an aggressive deck. very good to muligan.
Reno seems slow, good removal, hopefully the hero power is strong.
EDIT: Wait, does reno delete ALL minions and not just from board? if that's the case Reno might be bonkers for that reason! If reno actually make ALL minions go away including from hand and deck too, then HOLY CRAP, that is wild as hell.
It's cool and playable but it also feels like Bad Luck Albatross.
Is there really a point of putting this into a deck...and if yes, which deck would it be. Zoo doesn't need it unless you're so bitter that you need to highroll your opponent into submission by hitting some combo piece or just a tech card.
Maybe Handlock runs it for the memes, they do love stalling after all.

New Priest Spell - Dark Prophecy
once again proving that they are unable to do anything viable with Priest that isn't absolute cancer.
What deck would even run this unironically?
Why is it so hard to just print acceptable midrange cards for Priests and try for a buff theme that doesn't involve OTKing your opponents.
Oh well, guess 3 more months of AFK Priest it is.
