I don't like the fact that it's a 3 mana 3/2, however in a Reno deck, it appears to be the better friend for Truesilver Champion compared to Argent Lance. As someone else pointed it out to me the other day, some of the more threatening cards that you would want to remove right away all have 3 health, like the Northshire Cleric. This fellow will do his work removing those pesky 3 hp minions.
I think this can be a powerful card, mainly because of its possibilities at all points in the game. Early game you can get some buffs on a card like Argent Squire and minions you give divine shield to, mid game there is synergy with Hand of Protection and other divine shields such as Argent Horserider and lategame you have powerful combos with Argent Commander and Sunwalker
All in all I think this card is being underrated by some, as a vanilla 3/2 weapon is good enough in paladin with coghammer and muster being rotated out, so paladins no longer have an issue with too many weapons
Why is this sword looking like Shalamayne...
Because the art IS Shalamayne.
Steward of Darkshire plus Stand Against Darkness then Coin this = profit.
Knife Juggler works too before Steward
This card is SO good in wild.
Worst case scenario it's a slower Fiery Winaxe. I run it in my greedy control paladin deck for early game purposes and it's been working great so far.

They see me Rallying, they Hatin
Varian Wrynn's sword ...
Divine Shield Paladin? Can you say "Glory to the Sin'dorei" ?
Turn 7 - Emperor Thaurissan
Turn 8 - Steward of Darkshire + Stand Against Darkness + This => 5 Shielded Minibots + Fiery War Axe + 3/3
Rallying Blade battlecry gives the +1/+1

I'm glad they're trying to make Divine Shield Paladin a thing, it's been uncreatively used up until now
KappaThey made Shalamayne a paladin card? They really should change the artwork. ^^
Decent weapon indeed; works well with several minions who have benefited from the Steward of Darkshire.
With Steward of Darkshire SMOrc approves
Say hi to my Blood Knight!
