   STEWARD OF DARKSHIRE into STAND AGAINST DARKNESS into BLOOD KNIGHT niccccce

   1. LordLukste March 30, 2016

      OMG, You're right!

   2. Poison March 30, 2016

      into SW: Death ;)

   3. Sapp March 30, 2016

      11 mana tho

      1. lennon255 March 30, 2016

         Emperor aint getting rotated bro.

   4. SDhn2a March 30, 2016

      Yeesh... This is one of those plays that's either followed by a silence, a BGH, or a concede.

      1. Mystic March 30, 2016

         hmm yeah true but 1 bgh is not enough, because there are still 5 1-1 minions and 1 3-3 minion on the board and bgh is probably going to be nerfed so paladin is going to become more annoying and aggro paladin are going to be op AS FUUUUUUUU

   5. Nightfall March 30, 2016

      thats 11 mana, the steward with stand against darkness is a strong combo tho

      1. iron March 30, 2016

         coin value anyone xD

2. samX500 March 30, 2016

   if this work whit the hero power I think it could be fine.
   otherwise I don't it could be play

   1. Ermino March 30, 2016

      Of corse it buffs the hero power minions because the text says "summon" not "play"!

   2. ottomos March 30, 2016

      hobgoblin says: "when you play a 1 power minion", .
      you can summon with hero powers or other in game effects like deathrattles, muster for battle or even dr.doom's ability (while those will be rotated).
      So it works with hero power.
      And; as it adds more value than silver hand regent, it can empover other 2/1 cards (divine leper gnomes etc.), or wolfrider.
      Since has a standard 3/3 body, it can usually stay alive 1 turn, it may enchant 1-2 minions, attack itself, thus a good addition to agro, agro/midrange.

   3. alsalegend March 30, 2016

      I think it does, due to the keyword "summon" (as opposed to for example Hobgoblin which says "when you play a minion"

   4. Smolinbeaker March 30, 2016

      It says 'summon' so i presume it does

   5. Nightfall March 30, 2016

      whenever you SUMMON a minion (it should work with hero power)

3. Squash March 30, 2016

   Magma rager better than ice rager confirmed

4. jfuller March 30, 2016

   This looks like a really good card, a nice number of cards will be better in the combo, and the extreme blood knights would be an option!

5. SDhn2a March 30, 2016

   This + hobgoblin = angry chicken value.

   Does this work on Faceless Shambler? It officially has 1 health, but it's battlecry changes it...

   Also, magma rager is no longer absolute trash! Now it's just situational trash.

   1. LordLukste March 30, 2016

      I think it does have synergy, because you're summoning it either way.

      1. REHPICLLIB March 30, 2016

         Battlecries trigger before other effects

         1. Kevak321 April 1, 2016

            But if it works with Twilight Drake, which has 1 health originally, and then later on gets the buff from the same card, then this should technically also work on Faceless Shambler, correct?

            Twilight Drake (1 health) -> Gets buff from Steward -> Battlecry triggers on Twilight Drake

            Faceless Shambler (1 health) -> Gets buff from Steward -> Battlecry triggers on Faceless Shambler

   Another reason to run grand crusader

   1. Nightmare March 30, 2016

      As a priest

7. Sean March 30, 2016

   We've found it guys! A situation where Magma Rager is better than Ice Rager :p

   1. MotleyShao March 30, 2016

      After all these years...

   2. Nightfall March 30, 2016

      oh god thats right

8. Yakikorosu March 30, 2016

   This will work with hero power. Cards that key off "summoning" a minion (like Knife Juggler) work with Pally/Shaman hero power. Cards that key off "playing" a minion (like Hobgoblin) don't work with hero power, because "playing" only includes from your hand.

9. Bill March 30, 2016

   This card has one specific deck it works with in my eyes. Aggro pali. The one health makes it so you can summon off all your leper gnomes and worgan infiltrators and wolf riders with divine shield. Between this and divine favor, i think pally is OP in aggro

10. TacoRocco March 30, 2016

    Magma Rager > Scarlet Crusader

11. fr0zen March 30, 2016

    hobgoblin wild pally new meta

    1. Kalo March 30, 2016

       I presume you would only play 1/1 minions?

12. Kalo March 30, 2016

    Anyone else thinking "murlocs"?

    1. StacysMom April 1, 2016

       Me :^)

       Also Magma Ragers

       And with the new murloc it's even better

13. Alex March 30, 2016

    Really guys?? All this aggro talk and you are all missing the most important case? Stand against darkness! Now you can use your sword that buffs minions after this and then you play stand against darkness and you have 2/2's with divine shield ?

    1. Limitep April 2, 2016

       Stand against drknss succ

       1. ariel April 15, 2016

          but it could be a great combo

    2. oobwoodoo April 16, 2016

       I want to see that one person that tries this combo, gets it, and then get completely wrecked by a priest using Shadow Word: Horror.
       Not trying to downplay the combo or anything, I'll find it hilarious due to just a single card that doesn't look good coming up to be able to take down 2 cards with a total of 8 mana, using only half of those resources

    3. CD001 April 21, 2016

       Yes it's kinda cool - but I think the loss of Muster for Battle and Quartermaster in Standard is going to pretty much kill the Silver Hand Paladin ... it'll be Murlocs, Murlocs Everywhere!

       Especially with the Vilefin Inquisitor.

    4. Vamoza April 23, 2016

       I know it's a long shot but imagine this combo in wild:

       If you get an emperor thaurissian proc on the following cards,
       Stand against Darkness
       Steward of Darkshire
       Sword of Justice
       Hobgoblin

       1st step, Steward, 2nd step, Hobgoblin, 3rd step Sword of Justice, and finally Stand against darkness

       That's 10 mana with the emperor procs, and now you have a 2/3, a 3/3, and 5 4/4s with divine shield

       Bar twisting nether or doom!, I don't think anything can handle that kind of board xD

14. wod March 30, 2016

    wtf wolfrider MVP

15. counter March 30, 2016

    time to run blood knight

16. Tomathus March 30, 2016

    Guys does this work with NOBLE SACRIFICE????!!!!!!! SECRET PALADIN FOR ANOTHER YEAR!!!!!!!

    1. Evident March 30, 2016

       Yes it does.

17. MrNinjaNerd April 1, 2016

    Confirmed works with twilight drake. Even with 3 cards in hand, drake becomes an amazing four drop if played on curve with this.

18. LoveNectar April 16, 2016

    This could finally make Magma Rager useful.

19. Migraineboy May 18, 2016

    tried playing darkshire+stand defeats the purpose of the weenie deck. 8 mana to safely cast with a mana curve as low as f*ck. rather have more minions that are "instantly" playable.
