For Quel’Thalas!

I’m not ecstatic about this card, even though it does seem really powerful in a vacuum. On its own, this is 5 damage on turn 2, which is quite a lot (assuming you have a 1 drop that survived the enemy’s turn), but what worries me is the lack of health buffs. While this card does deal a lot of damage, it doesn’t make your minions any more likely to survive. Something like Steed on 2 might not do as much damage directly to the face, but can make it so some minions can survive for several turns, which is particularly good with some 1 drops, like Trogg or the 2/1 which draws you cards. The two attack to your hero does help you fight off the enemy minions, but there is something clunky about this card which just doesn’t convince me. For now, I’ll just say that if there was an Aggro Paladin deck dependant from the dudes, perhaps it could be a secret deck, I would probably play this card, but I don’t see it in a wide range of decks.
