However if ur playing this card it is most likely for the combo/tempo potential and unless you play it on 4 it will not have a great impact if they break it, maybe giving you 1 or 2 more mana crystals but taking away the huge tempo swing you get from breaking it on your turn and gaining the 10 mana burst. Also, if they’re running weapon hate chances are they’re playing a control deck and if the weapons are consistent enough to see play maybe in midrange. But, in control they wont want to play the weapon hate for tempo anyways and they can simply wait until your turn 10 (or whenever you get to 10 mana) to break it.

Let me ask you this bud, when’s the last time you ran weapon hate in constructed. Besides the 1 mana 1/2 pirate dude there is no weapon hate being run atm. Now unless this and/or the other weapons become common there is no need to run weapon hate. If any of the weapons do become good tho people probably will start running weapon hate and that’ll push this card from 2-3 stars down to 1. But in the current meta i could see some fancy combos you could pull with this.

Yeah I got top 50 in wild last month and most of the paladins i played were just tempo lists and the only silver hand synergies they ran were, occasionally in the greedier versions, quartermaster. But i do aggree that this could push for a more silver hand focused paladin deck to be viable in wild but not alone.

Everyone is bashing on this card but wait for the rest of the expansion. I’m sure there’s gonna be more silver hand recruit synergies released. Remember that this is part of the initial spoilers so they’re probably just hinting at cards they haven’t released yet.
