Writing off reveal stream cards is usually dumb (remember how bad everyone thought Rin would be?). I'm confident that Blizzard will have some stupid synergy cards to go with this.
The card encourages paladin decks to include spell heavy cards. And by the looks of it, where not even seeing paladin decks that are spell heavy, only minion based.
paladin is such a minion based class that I don't see this being any good.
You need to discount basically 20 mana reliably each match to make this a strong enough play to put into your deck. Great minion but I dont see the big mana spells for paladin doing any good.
Let's say there is a universe where you can reasonably play this for let's say 4 mana. Let's say there is a Paladin version of Ultimate Infestation, that would significantly reduce the cost of this card.
It would still come out very late, and at best you recover 14 health if playing it alongside Crystalsmith Kangor and take out a threat.
Ignoring what deck you would play, the payoff is still not all that great.
Control Paldin can activate this card quite good already
LAY on Hand =8
2 steed = 12
1 Shrink ray = 5 , equality consercrete combo = 6
Problem is this card is not a win con, just a nice big minion. So very good vs minion base deck but wont help you win control or combo matchup, which is actually the main weakness of Control Paldin atm
but you have to probably draw your whole deck ... so if you draw it early its really bad
1 mana....
6+6+2+2+4+4= 24
a lot of cards are bad if you draw them early.. OTK paladin was a thing in tournaments it had a lot of dead draws and it still does fine.. you can have powerful cards that are uncastable early.
This card has a lot of health gain, healadin/contol paladin could use it VERY well.. it's not a thing.. but it's the last set of the year it will probably have a lot for pushing healadin which they put some cards each expansion I predict a dragon priest treatment
BTW people talkign about "big spell paladin" lol.. jsut control paladin can easily activate it.. there's also kangors paladin which is a deck that's played sometimes it's not VERY good but it has it's merits
Developed Hearthstone player, have played and beaten highly skilled opponents on numerous occasions. Not that ambitious on ladder. Only play off of win streaks. Love theory more than meta.
Not only is it a mediocre card, but it makes no sense flavorwise as well. Why would a tiger with rush care about the spells you've cast? Idk maybe there's some lore behind it but the 2 parts of its text don't fit well I think
It requires that you spend at least 15 mana with spells before it even becomes usable. Seems way too slow. Zilliax can do the same job (albeit a lot weaker) for way less mana. You could even get the exact same healing for 9 mana if you buff Zilliax with Blessing of Kings. Too much effort required to get this minion to work.
Seems too weak to form a deck around and it might be too clunky to fit in quest paladin, since they seem to be pushing that deck with the cards revealed so far.

The card art looks great but that's it.
Crap.
duuuuuuuuuude.
Prismatic Lens could get you it at a decently low cost

I don't care if this guy is good but I have something to say.....
GALVADON, THE LAST KALEIDOSAUR. HES GOT WINDFURY AND A WHOLE LOT MORE.
I'm gonna go ranked with this with my quest paladin with the divine shield package with bolvar!
Me? Gongaga.
solely made for Holy Wrath
that might be good with charge instead of rush ...
I guess this could be the new Molten Giant + Hemet, Jungle Hunter + Holy Wrath = 25 Damage deck
I IZ teh most powerfall tyger!!!!!!!!!!!!

This card is very good but the time to lower its cost is overwhelming.Quest Paladin or Buffladin.

In wild we can use it with Naga Sea Witch... Wild Giant-Palladin perhaps?..
Slotted perfectly into Corpsetaker Even Paladin, the Sound the Bells version, alongside Immortal Prelate.
Sadly, it's not actually even.
