Maybe they are going to give paladin a 1 drop since they are losing the 2 and 3 drop in standard, I'm just hoping that it isn't a snowball like Wyrm or Trogg.Some kind of class specific Zombie Chow to fight for board, not to go face.

People wanting removal may be setting himself for disappointment.It's a theme for paladin to lack single target removal, same than druid.
Personally I don't like class homogenization it was one of the nails in WOW coffin.

And the C'thun card is probably going to be x/x "If your C'thun has 10 or more Attack gain Taunt and Divine Shield" looking at how boring these cards seems to be.

I would like to see a zoo like pally, where they drop a bunch of garbage on the board. I also wonder if pally will get a old god themed card somehow.

To be honest, I'm extremely tired of versing Paladin game after game. I wouldn't be sad at all if it disappeared from the game for the next few expansions.

I played a selfdeveloped dragonpallydeck around Rank 1-2 last Season... Was quite fun... Was a Little believe 50% winrate (webt from r1s2 to r2s4 in 20 Games or sth) Not to Bad, with some smaller Chances definitly viable, but wouldn't play it if you Plan on laddering. 5 mana 5/5 with innervate, improveable with brann, Is definitly fun, Same goes with ysera+divineshield or LoH with chromaggus, hell, why Not Even use it to heal chromaggus. It s compareable to dradondruid, slightly worse though, cause the ramping just works better with druid, cause you don't only have innervate, but also wild growth

It was inevitable that Paladin was gonna get nerfed hard when it was dominating the ladder for the last few months. Thats how Blizzard works in all of their games, they let something OP slide for a while and then nerf it to ground making it unplayable. Then when the next expansion releases they will buff it back up and make it OP again.

By that logic also Patron, controle warrior, combodruid and aggrodruid Are dead. We re getting Tons of New cards

Paladins are absolutely going to need more early game tools to replace Muster, Shieldbot and Zombie Chow. Paladin has always had a decent mid to late game, even in Vanilla and Naxx. The reason why Pally was a complete joke of a class before GVG was the lack of an early game. Pallies would get smorced down before they could do jack and or shit and that seems to be the future for the class.

I don't care if gimmicky decks like Secret or Anyfin are still somewhat viable, if the core Midrange Pally deck isn't up to snuff, then the class is pretty much dead in the water.

Midrange and Secret as we know them are obviously dead, and no one will mourn their passing. However, saying this kills the class is just peevish nonsense.

Healadin will make a comeback.

Murloc Paladin will continue to be strong.

C'Thun Paladin will be a new archetype, probably with numerous variations until a "best" build is decided.

Well dragon paladin might be a thing.. I will miss midrange paladin though..

Anyfin can happen with pally in Standart

Yeah, may just have to survive with Murloc Pally for the time being. At least until Anyfin rotates out of standard XD.

Despite us getting the heaviest nerf bat, haven't really shown anything Paladin related to give an idea on how this class is going to survive.

Paladin is over as punishment for secret paladin.  There may even be a post on some site where they talked with the devs about possible nerfs and 'extrapolated' that information to conclude that the class will be retired from the game.  Or there may not be and I am just mocking other threads again.

By that logic also warrior, druid and rogue Are dead. We re getting Tons of New cards. just wait... Srs... Even though other classes Are way harder hit than pala only here ppl Are crying... You re literally Behaving like everyone Imagines secretpally-mains. Don't worry. Maybe you will Not Rank up that easy, but If necessairy just Build a Deck with 29 normals and tyrion. It will still be viable
