This thing is just unreal. It gains 4 keywords by simply playing your standard pure pally.

Its already tough enough to bring them down with all the librams in there, and now there's this. The only drawback of this card is in fact that it can only exist within a pure pally build, so no Old gods shenanigans. Within …

you're right there, kinda forgot about this card for a minute

Its just a good play from turn 3 to 4 with [card]day at the faire[/card]. But there needs to be more generators before this truly becomes a centerpiece. On its own, its not really bad, with vanilla stats on 4, unlike say [card]quartermaster[/card]

Fair point. But that's a turn 7 play over 2 turns. Obviously if your opponent can't deal with the 6/6 taunt then they wouldn't have any chance against this anyway. There's also that problem on whether you need to just play this on 5 as a 5/5 divine shield because you don't have any other plays, which wouldn't save you …

It has potential to be one of the most annoying dude buffer to ever exist, solely supported by the divine shield it gives out.

Currently the only card that gives us more dudes than a hp is [card]day at the faire[/card], which at 3 dudes on 3, then curve into this is monstrously strong. But there needs to be …

I only said that because it doesnt have taunt uncorrupted, so its not an automatic consideration when building paladin decks.

Its a wide buff card which zoo really needs. Unfortunately, since the condition is to discard, it will rarely appear anywhere else other than zoo.

There are a few problems with the card though. Don't start getting ideas of a burst finish as it can and will likely discard the second copy, or discard your other finisher in soulfire, …

It draws 3 cards, on turn 5 when its not yet so dangerous, and its a 3/5, not really an insignificant statline. If there any reason why warrior wouldn't play this card in some capacity?

Even if this card does nothing more than draw your [card]deathwing, mad aspect[/card], that's still quite significant.

But obviously with this card we're …

The problem here is that its a weapon, and it deals very little damage, and its effect is somewhat conditional.

Best case scenario will likely involve you having a very exact hand, like maybe [card]sky raider[/card], [card]evasive feywing[/card], and maybe [card]skybarge[/card]. But that's so exact its impractical. I think realistically we're looking at this buffing maybe 2 cards by …

In most cases this will just be played as a 2 mana 1/4, which isn't really easily removed. There's just this little chance it can be core in an aggro warrior deck with [card]animated broomstick[/card]. If this card can deal somewhat around 4-6 damage, that's already well worth its inclusion.

Its a decent card on its own, but there has got to be other cards that can corrupt it or otherwise there's little point to include it. Some obvious candidates are [card]hammer of the naaru[/card], [card]tirion fordring[/card], or [card]lady liadrin[/card]. Can't rely on librams since they get cheapened throughout the game.

It kinda competes somewhat with [card]fleethoof pearltusk[/card] for …

I like that idea myself, but most aggro warriors tend to want to finish up games by turn 6, and at present I can't see a warrior deck that doesn't also play plenty of pirates so you wont always get the pirate you want. He's also not really presenting much tempo, being mostly a draw card, and on turn 5 …

This thing is deceptively powerful, if it ever gets corrupted. Even uncorrupted, its a 5 mana 5/5 with divine shield, which isn't exactly small or weak. The main problem is that paladin doesn't play a lot of expensive stuff right now, with the librams being so handily cheapen. So we're looking at maybe [card]tirion fordring[/card], [card]hammer of the naaru[/card] or …

Its a wide buff card and that means it will likely see play because that's whats missing in zoo at the moment.

But the discard is a little rough. At least we will always know what is being discarded, but more often than not you'll end up losing something, even if its nothing more than a 1 drop.

There's just never enough rush minions in warrior for this to ever be good. But there might be something close to swarm of locust down the reveal that will instantly push this to god tier. We'll have to see.

[card]ringmaster whatley[/card] seems very strong, drawing 3 cards for a mere 5 mana with a respectable body is really good. But whether it will ever see more than niche play would depend on the power level of mechs, dragons and pirates in a warrior deck.

At present you have mechs like [card]omega devastator[/card], [card]tomb warden[/card] and [card]scrap golem[/card]. For …

Secret passage doesn't trigger drawn cards like the shuffled bombs or the shadows from [card]shadow of death[/card]. If you decided (for whatever reason) to play those drawn bombs, etc. then you will trigger its effect and draw a card.

I think this will be the case for the tickets as well.

Its really just value for silences, and if the meta doesn't demand for silence, then this card falls quite flat.

Underwhelming to say the least, but priest legendaries often makes me want to pull my hair out, so this one being weak is refreshingly welcomed.

Its [card]prince taldaram[/card] without the deck building restrictions, that gives you a 4/4 of whatever you target and then silences it (not itself).

So its a very flexible card for all occasions, but this card lives and dies from the value of silence in the meta, since the effect doesn't allow you to just copy your own deathrattle cards …

Ive played that deck and wasn't really that impressed. Seems like just about every meta deck can deal with something that just runs nothing but 1 drops. Also, even the simplest taunts bogs that deck down so hard its painful to watch. It has always been just a meme, trying desperately to make [card]glide[/card] work, rather than a real competitive …
