Awful card. This will not be missed in standard.
Blizzard get your head out of the litter box.
bro this is so cringe, blizzard you suck
Broken and dumb card but no-one cares because it paladin...
How to win arena.
that is one shitty art, look at his stretched arm.
Thinking if you played it on a charge minion you still wouldn't be able to attack hero that turn?
It's a huge buff, but requires board presence, the very thing Paladin can't establish right now.
another ok/meh card for paladin
So 1 mana more Blessing of Kings but with +4/+4 more in terms of stats. That seems like a pretty good deal to me.
The limitation is only for 1 turn, so not a huge deal. You'll likely want to attack a minion anyways.
Echoing Ooze
Holy mack...Holy ooze!
It is also good against single target removal or silence.
Replicat-o-tron
It may be slow, but 2x 11/11 on a board with future potential...
Wait, Wait. Can you put this on a minion that just attacked the enemy hero? Thus circumventing the downside?
How would that circumvent the downside? Are you saying you'd rather have 2-4 face damage than 10-12 damage to an enemy minion?
You do understand that the point of this card is to have some good value trades with that minion and establish a board control?
Made to be used in a deck with High Abbess Alura
Immortal Prelate and whole The Last Kaleidosaur deck will be awesome
Just slap it on to a minion you've just summoned, and there's no real downside.
Lynessa Sunsorrow sees absolutely no downside, that's for sure.
At first I was like eh, then I was like hmmm
Likewise, I see potential. At the same time, if Priest and DH become popular, this can't see play. Next to that, Hunter has a lot of hard removal now.
