man this new paladin buff cards will be the next cancer they will play cards above the curve with that all healing it will be hard to deal with paladin.
Guys, are you blind? You are all complaining about the midrange Shaman meta, and then you complain these cards have poor stats. Do you actually realize this will only be played as a 4 mana 5/5 do you? Making it 3/5 to make an example would make it a 4/6. We all know how annoying is to deal with 6 hp minions in a deck with strong minions. (Thunderbluff Valiant anyone?)
You need to think about the synergies, you can't judge the value of a card by itself. This card fits STRONGLY in a Midrange Paladin Goon deck. Recruits from Hero power and other buffed minions from Grimestreet Outfitter Guess what, it's a T4 turn card. Just before T5, where Grimestreet Enforcer has its place.
Ice Lance is a shitty card by itself. Does anyone complain about it? Yes, sometimes. Because Solitaire Mage.
4-mana 5/5? Where'd he get the extra Health all of a sudden? He gets Attack buffs ONLY, meaning regardless of how high his Attack will be, it only takes 4 damage to take him out.
EDIT: it's also really funny that you started the post with "Guys, are you blind?"
Fair point, but then again you can use the same exact reasoning for any other card in the game considering this is a neutral card.
My point is that they can't overdo stats on cards like this one to avoid making them broken and cancerous in a certain deck, so there is no point complaining about it. A card that is a good fit in all decks is a problematic one for game balance. Dr Boom and Shredder were awesome cards that fit everywhere. In fact, they were auto-include. Not healthy. This is a card that stands out to be potentially strong in Paladin, like Dirty Rat sees potential for Priest. To judge if this card is pure garbage we need to see the full expansion set.
All cards should be good/playable, not excessively OP to crowd out possibilities. This is a playable card.

Remember playing Control Shaman with Reincarnate shenanigans? No? It was fun, here's a refresher!
Ah shoot, I thought it said when friendly minion attacks get +1 and I was excited. Overall not great, maybe it'll find a place in upcoming OP token druid, but probably not going to be used much.

Seems cool for aggro / arena card
Filler card, next!
How does this not have Taunt?
Backroom Bouncer paired with Brann Bronzebeard a few Injured Kvaldir and a couple Injured Blademaster's, I must say, it could be interesting to watch. I thought about this this morning as I was theorycrafting!
But that's more like dreamcrafting :3
