    What were you all thinking by giving this 4.6/5 stars. The only thing you can cheat for any usage is Leviathan. Rating it without seeing at least one good minion in the set for this effect, and rating it this high, is just not smart.

      What about Jailer? Brann -> this -> denathrius as well?

      1. guyopt

        card text say this effects only paladin minions. so best option is leviathan

      2. Kosixon

        Brann wouldnt give effect for 2 minions - it says next minion - that's first thing. 2nd - it goes only for paladin minions.

    i wonder how much damage you take if you play cariel with this, 4 or 8?

    1. Cursore1610

      You can't play Cariel with this because it's not a minion

      1. x15d

        oh i misread that as "paladin card"

    I mean it won't reduce cariel nor the jailer.
    cariel is not a minion, but a hero card and the jailer is not a paladin minion, so there's that.

    Right now, there aren't any good paladin minions that you would want to cheat out, which makes me skeptical of this card already. And sure, 6 mana 5/5 + a free minion of whatever cost seems very good, but the health cost is not to be considered irrelevant: your health is a resource, sure, but it's easy to get carried away and get railed by an aggressive deck with some burst. As to what minions would you want ot cheat, I don't see many: the Countess, the Leviathan, Tyrion, that 8 mana 8/8 with Rush that summons 5/5s with taunt and that's pretty much it. The Countess is limited to Pure decks, which are pretty bad (even if not as bad as many people think), Tyrion is unplayable because of the existence of Cariel, the 8/8 with Rush is just a bad card, so that makes the Leviathan the best option for this, and it doesn't sound that exciting to be honest. Very powerful, sure, but it's a 6 mana combo of 2 card which summons a bunch of minions all easily dealt with by some hard board removal.
    However, even if this may not shine right now, be cautious of cards like these, because order in the court made it so all the heavy drops paladin has can and will be played on curve and in be in hand way before then: if you play order in the court, you can reliably have this by turn 6 and have 100% of the times your best minion to pair it with. What that minion will be, however, we will see.
