Card Review & Interactions

Amazing card. If Dire Mole has taught us anything, it's that 1 mana 1/3 are solid. Even if vanilla 1 mana 1/3 is not gamebreaking, it's already good enough to put into some decks. Now, this has some more advantages. First of all - a Mech tag, for the sake of all synergies. And then, if you don't want it as a 1/3 1-drop, you can use it to give minion +1/+3. The buff part will be amazing later down the road. 1/3 on Turn 1 is solid, but it would rarely make any impact in the late game, while +1/+3 immediate buff can make your trade better, keep some bigger Mech alive or just be used to make your board more AoE-resistant.

Heck, you might even run it in Odd Paladin without other Mech synergies. Depending on the meta, 1 mana 1/3 might be your best 1-drop, often better than something like Argent Squire (against other fast decks, at least).

Lots of people don't realize, but usually it isn't a flashy, high cost Legendary that makes the deck - it's a basic, small card like that that is often way more important. And this will be auto-include into any Mech Paladin build.

Card rating: 9/10

    1 MANA 5/5? DAMN
    Yeah, I know, 1/3.
    That's pretty good

    Glow-Tron is one of the few Magnetic Minions that could be better as a minion than a buff. That isn't to say a one mana +1/+3 buff spell wouldn't be playable, but stuff like Dire Mole has proven to be generally good in the sorts of decks Paladin has been interested in playing lately.

    Probably better as a target for magnetic then as a buff, it’s a well-statted flexible minion that will help bring viability to mech Paladin. 5/5
