Reign of the Black Empire Card Reveals - Day 9 [Finished]

Reign of the Black Empire Card Reveals - Day 9 [Finished]

Sean Plott, where are you? I don't even think he plays Hearthstone anymore, but people who have played for a long time will remember his presence.

Why is this relevant? It isn't! Today we're looking at Paladin cards.

We have a whole guide on everything about the expansion right here, and every card in one place right here.


Reign of the Black Empire Reveals for September 23

Rahj has a curated pool of cards to make Passive Hero Powers, excluding minions with effects like Battlecries or Deathrattles. The effect of the minion you create becomes a Passive Hero Power (you don't actually get the minion).

A new card, 0C91 Chariot, was leaked during a reveal video with the effect "After you play a minion, draw a card." We don't know the Cost or stats yet.

  • Amitut, Keeper of Amitus - Its just a card that exist which pally would play because why not. Just about as bog standard as paladin legendaries can get. Does something positive, good stats, and taunt. Is it exciting or interesting, no.

    Rajh - Unlike the former, this is an actual legendary you'll play because its good and exciting. And it'll get into every pally decks available because its capable of winning you the game. The funny thing is that this card will never realistically get nerfed itself, but it sure will get other pally cards nerfed just to keep the class down.

    Halls of Origination - Comes straight out of a dev's fever dreams because in what world is this card fair when ursol exist? Play ursol, and for the next three turns watch as your opponent squirm because they cant do shit. Team5 must be really really confident that pally wouldnt be good next expansion anyway.

    March to War - Its a card thats only good for the first two turns, because after that it gets incrementally worse. Might not even be better than righteous protector actually.

    Lightcaller - Its an interesting concept of a card, but really, its just a shittier truesilver champion

    Humble Judgment - Dont be too surprised if flight maneuvers gets nerfed again. And it will be completely this card's fault.

    Proto-Pandaren - Perhaps a foretelling of what the monk class will do? Honestly wouldnt surprise me.


    So paladin. Looking good but they always look good. The real issue with paladin isnt that the cards are poorly stated or theyre gimmicky but that theyre rarely ever interesting and therefore you just dont see pally anywhere higher than diamond.

    Oathbinder's Aura and Halls of Origination are examples of how one-dimension Paladin's art style normally is. You could put the artwork of either card onto the other card and no one would bat an eye.

  • At the moment, we are not sure how to interpret Rajh's effect. It might be a Passive Hero Power that summons the minion, or one that triggers its effect somehow.

    According to a dev on Reddit, Rahj's effect will pick from an extra-curated pool of Assemble minions that don't have Battlecry or Deathrattle effects. The Assembled minion's effect then becomes your hero power. The example they gave was combining Gallio Goon and Broll Bearmantle to make a hero power that reads "Passive: After you play a Battlecry minion, summon a random Animal Companion."
