Idk guys, I really don’t like getting hard countered by skulking geist. I’m not sure how jade druid does it, but if this decks become marginally competitive, getting hard countered by just one card isn’t even funny.

Oh yeah, it does have that “Stained Glass” themed now that you’ve mentioned it. Maybe they will give Paladin a Echo heal card, or something along the lines of heal target minion for X amount and heal your hero for the same.

I think so far with these healing decks only one of two things happens, opponent aggro you down and your heal can’t keep up, because when you’re busy healing, they are building their board. Or you’re so far ahead you’re at full health.

Tried throwing in a bunch of weapons just to take damage so I can trigger off Ragnaros lightlord + Benevolent Djinn + Blackguard. Not too excited about this.

Flavour like ties in with the story of witchwood flavour? Or just quirky flavour?

I do hope to see more secrets in the standard rotation. I personally don’t think this is great stats, it’s only pretty ok. Great 4 drop would be 4 mana 7/7. 😀
Same stats as keeper of uldaman, but lower than Evil Heckler.

Unless we have a strong 2 drop worth proccing redemption/getaway kodo for, this card is a bit slow, assuming that opponent is either going to go face for Noble Sacrifice or Silverhand recruit for turn 2 nothing play. Not likely opponent is going to flush out another secret for you the turn you play this.

I don’t like to see this as a bad card, but a very greedy *win more* card.

Having played several archetypes of Paladin, this is one of the lousier weapons. Thank god they have the decency to put it in the rare slot instead of epic or higher. I think this card is going to see as much play as WOECLEAVER, also means too little, too late.

I think generally weapons helps Paladin out tempo the board without sacrificing your own board. I’d much rather pick VINECLEAVER than this because at least if I’m behind on board, it gives me a chance to contest for the board again.

So in aggro decks, this piece of light infused metal would contest with cards like Unidentified Maul, which is a bit like a mini version of Silver Sword because at least one of the mode might spawn you recruits. Maybe if the meta has a lot of 4 toughness creatures, Truesilver Champion.

In control decks this gets much worse. I’d assume that Uther of the Ebon Blade is a staple. Ashbringer with lifesteal? Spawn 2/2 instead of 1/1 that your opponent are forced to kill? Sounds good. You wouldn’t want buff your minions for +1/+1 for 8. Besides, control decks typically wouldn’t have much minions to buff anyways.

With regards to midrange Paladin, Call to arms is currently too good of a card for effective midrange Paladin to exists. Unless you call spawning a bunch of weenies and hoping they survive until T6 T7 Midrange.

TL;DR Woecleaver vs Silver Sword. Both are flavour cards.
