Would that work? Or would the buff from the sword deny the divine shield? Maybe it depends on the order it was played?
Yeah, pretty sure it depends on order played. Steward would need to be first, then sword of justice, fairly sure.
Noble Sacrifice anyone?
"Ahaha, I lived!"
Why hello there Blood Knight...fancy seeing you here today. What, you're happy that there's more mechanics that give Divine Shields for you to consume? But aren't they exclusive to Argent Squires and paladin cards? Hmmm,,, maybe I could bring you along as a tech card.
In all seriousness, divine shields are actually quite powerful. On 1-health minions...it could make some such minions playable in Paladin decks? Maybe even Magma Rager could fit into a Stewardin?.. nah, that would require people to play Magma Rager.
This card is a slight nerf to paladins in arena. I enjoy both constructed and arena but facing mostly paladins and mages there makes me play it much less than I want to. I hope arena will be a bit more balanced environment after the expansion, this is a solid start.
Notice, that this card says "summon"
So it does work with your hero power unlike Hobgoblin
It should, considering that's how Sword of Justice works
So excited to see an actual playable card! Should work with Twilight Drake, possibly creating space for a Dragon Paladin?
It's one health, not attack, horror won't take effect
Yes but there is very few minions in the game that have more than 2 attack but less than 2 health and Shadow Word: Horror will destroy each minion so it can go through divine shields.
But it's safe to assume that many of the 1-health minions getting divine shield will have low attack, not to mention that it destroys minions rather than damages them.
3 Mana for a 3/3 with a good effect? gj Blizz thats a playable card!
The night is dark and full of terrors...
I wonder will it work
Whenever = before battlecry is activated
With divine shield this card seems decent
I believe Battlecries trigger before the minion is summoned. But this synnergy might work idk.
Ignore this post, I misread yours
Lucky that we got Shadow Word: Horror and Blood Knight to counter this thing!
Much more viable than Hobgoblin imo
With BGH nerf,and this kind of cards, it really hard to beilive that wild will be played IMO,even with run secret eater .
The token with noble sacrifice gets divine shield, also secret pala starts realy agro early with secretkeepet,shielded minibot, juggler and secret, you can play it in turn 3 and the enemy have to kill it (because he is afraid of master and later have board when challenger comes), its not like you have to put 2 copy in every single secret pala, its just that they get more cards to tech their decks ,to make it faster or sticky, this plus no more BGH will make harder to deal with threats like doctors(that already are OP) sea giants in zoo, voidcalllers that bring malganis,etc this make the agro/midrange deck more effcient and now in wild they are way too strong, that why i say that wild can become unplayable.
