I love it when drakonid operative gets me this card from paladins. :D
Dragon priest are barried. I am happy.
HAHAHA NOPE.
DESIDERATUS BELLUM
You should never play this if enemy has Polymorph or Hex or similar kind of those in hand Polymorph: Boar Potion of Polymorph Tinkmaster Overspark or Devolve ( a lot of transform potions and minions' effects), also you will 100% get the losing if priests stole this by Entomb, or Thoughtsteal, or Sylvanas Windrunner ... or rogue have stolen by Burgle, plus this is such a slow minion for the meta right now, it's just simply too aggro for paladins to survive, and it gets too easily countered. Or Tirion will too easily get killed and get countered by Acidic Swamp Ooze or Harrison Jones. :(
So true, but if you get to make use of it, its damn powerful
Also, you want to remember how to breathe, just in case you are entirely brain-dead.
I don't care what the meta is like. I will always run this card in any paladin deck. The chance of it being removed doesn't change the fact that it's one of the best legendaries in the game. Sounds like you need to put your faith in the light.
His Weapon since it is not displayed above
Ashbringer
put your vape in the light
It is only in Legion that this paladin's deathrattle kicks in.
He looks so cool in hearthpwn but in game the divine shield and taunt just makes him look really dull on board
Played this guy. Opnent stole it with sylvanus. Then when i got through it he played n'zoth and got it back.
Will always be one of the best legendary card in game.
what a nice target for my Polymorph or Hex
6 1/1's isn't enough, you'd get through his divine shield and take him down to 1 hp.
(sorry, I like correcting people)
I felt like I needed to do a review for Tirion Fordring because I play paladin class most of the time.
This card is easily one of the STRONGEST legendaries in the game, which is good considdering the fact that you expect a class legendary to be super powerful since class cards are meant to be more powerful then neutral (except in some sad cases). Pretty much any paladin player who has him is going to use him.
The Breakdown!
Tirion Fordring is a 8 mana 6/6. His stats are not quite worth 8 mana but his abilities sure are. This noble paladin had Divine Shield and Taunt! (Giant ass Annoy-o-Tron) What else? Well... a REALLY powerful deathrattle! He equips you with a 5/3 weapon, this weapon is good for removal or up to 15 face damage! This makes this guy a great way to stabilize a loosing board or push an already winning board the rest of the way.
He has INSANE synergy with N'Zoth, the Corruptor! If he dies, N'zoth can bring him back!
He also works well with the new Barnes. Barnes putting a 1/1 tirion into play is not a bad thing. You still get a 1/1 taunt with divine shield, and you get a 5/3 weapon to bash things in the face with just because you can.
His main weakness are Hex, Entomb and Polymorph, he is also vulnerable to silence effects but they are not nearly as bad, better no ability 6/6 then a no ability 1/1.
Wanna know the best part? This guy is in the classic set... this means that he will ALWAYS be allowed in the standard format!
Craftable? If you play a ton of paladin like I do, yes! If not... then why would you craft a paladin legend?
And his entrance quote is SOOO bad ass with the background music!
Conclusion
Tirion Fordring is the most bad ass paladin legendary in the game! He is ultra powerful and makes a good combo with Barnes and N'Zoth, the Corruptor. The only thing you really need to worry about is Hex, Entomb and Polymorph
Tirion always being standard legal is a pretty good reason to always keep him handy!
I hope you enjoyed reading this! If you saw anything I missed or want me to review a card just let me know!

You should add Sylvanas as a big weakness.
It is a pity when entomb is used on Tirion...And it is always used.
