Hello everybody! My Angry Chicken Soul is awakened! 

Just checked revealed cards from WOG and was stunned by Pally cards: Ragnaros, Lightlord and Forbidden Healing; Stand Against Darkness and Steward of Darkshire. So what the hell will happen there on board?

1. Annoying "WHOAMI" secrets;
2. Unstoppable 1/1 minions spawn that will automatically gain Divine Shield (of course supported by Blood Knight)
3. Endless healing with this ill-minded Blizz fantasy - Ragnaros, Lightlord and Forbidden Healing

Honestly, comparing to other classes cards it already looks like top-deck of top-decks. Blizz, please, wake up! We know you adore Pally but this is QUITE TOO MUCH. What do you think about this all?

As a rogue and warrior player. Palladin is always cancer. 

We literally don't even know all the cards yet, in fact only about half. Yet, you are already complaining that pally is gonna be op and needs to be nerfed.

I think, you are just jumping the gun a bit, and maybe have nightmares about secret pally, and that scares you of what may come. 

The meta seems to be slowing down, control decks are gonna be more popular. Odds are these paladin minions wont stick on board for very long. 

Of course situation could change, but as we all know how are Blizz addicted to Pally it looks frighting. Just imagine Zoo Pally with board filled with Divine Shields...

The issue is we do not know how all these cards fit in. Darkshire ward is good, but does it go into a zoo, or more of an inspire deck. Ragnoros looks good too, but may be too much of a commitment at 8 mana to reliably be played. Forbidden healing may not be good enough at all.

 I may not know standard will end up, but Wild is going to be insane.

I don't think it's that bad. Ofcourse it's crazy how Blizzard tries to push paladin over and over. But this time we at least have real counters to them. Secret Paladin will be dead soon, because of Eater of Secrets and while this new divine shield minion is really strong, you can always run a Blood Knight yourself for insane tempo.

First off Lightlord is shit........Also if the Divine Shield combo becomes a thing you can expect everyone to be running Blood Knight to counter. Either way i think Blood Knight is coming back in a big way with the new Divine Shield minions also Scarlet Crusader and Argent Squire should emerge from the ashes abit in Standard.

Blood Knight exists, Secret Paladin won't be as good (RIP Avenge, you won't be missed), and Muster, Quartermaster and Minibot are totally gone. With Knife Juggler getting the nerf hammer soon, there might not be enough power cards to keep a token pally alive long enough to use their new cards properly; Using Silver Hand Regent or the new card as a 3/3 knowing it's just gonna get wrecked is never fun.

Darkshire will never see play in competitive, secrets gone, knife juggler nerfed (prob), no more minibot, we can't really whine. You wont let a pala fill the board , and even with stand against the darkness plus darkshire it's really a big tempo loss
