This won't probably see any play outside of Arena but that Artwork is gorgeous... It reminds me so much of Sylvanas Windrunner that I might even craft it in golden....
This makes 1 drops that much more powerful especially in Arena it could win the game right out of the gate.
it's possible that a single copy could make it into Zoo decks for constructed.
It makes one 1-drop slightly more powerful, at the expense of running a 2-drop with a worthless body.
Tempo-wise, it's a wash, except that Fallen Sun Cleric is terrible if you have no surviving minion.
I don't think it's wise to compare neutrals against class cards, but we can look at Crackling Razormaw to see the sort of power level a 2-drop needs in order to see play.
Worse than Shattered Sun Cleric, far worse. Why? Dies to the 1 damage hero powers.
And no it's not good in arena, for exactly the reason I just said.
If you get this on a 1/3 and they are using their turn 2 to hero power, you not only have turn 3 initiative, but also have a 2/4 on the board, that's insane. Not to mention if you go second and they spend their turn 3 hero powering, that's even better.
Not it a good card and won't see play in constructed, but will be played a lot in arena and flat out win you the game sometimes.
Worse than Shattered Sun Cleric because Shattered Sun Cleric hasn't got +1/+1 over this. it's got +1 attack and DOUBLE Health over this for just 1 extra mana. 1 Health minions are very weak. Also, there's no harm in skipping turn 2 coz you can Hero Power and every class has got good 2 mana cards. You may not even have a target on turn 2. So 3 mana Shattered Sun Cleric becomes even better. Also, 3 mana isn't a very high to combo it with something like Charge.
I think this is a playable card, especially for players with a lacking collection. You would not play this card to buff a 1/3 though because most classes with 1 drops with stats like this don't play that many other 1 drops. This can see play in Hunter and Warlock (Zoo) and maybe aggro pali because they can use a buff like this during the early and mid-games without losing absolute tempo. They also can capitalize on this on curve thanks to all of their 1-drops

5 dust!
2 health isn't 1 more health than 1, it's DOUBLE the health!
math ftw

No, it's not "insane" because you're assuming they played nothing on turn 1. Shattered Sun Cleric would be just as impactful if not more so, but people don't call that a good arena card, just decent. This is worse than decent, because it can be removed by many classes for 2 mana and no cards.
Decent arena card. While it dies to a ping, if you played a 1/3 minion on turn 1, into this on turn 2. Then your opponent just wasted his turn 2 or 3 pinging your board. If you opponent doesn't have a ping, then even better.

Why re-print classic set?
I didn't get an email.. was there anything interesting, aside from this terrible card of course

Pretty good.
Maybe even very good just because 2/1 threatens many other 2 drops compared to the 3/2 of SSC and using a ping on turn 3 is pretty bad.

Join me at Out of Cards!
Well somehow the first glance at this card reminds me of Sylvanas... Anybody with the same feeling?
Argent Squire Righteous Protector into this is crazy strong and gives Agrodin the needed 2 drop to snowball.
How is this rated so low?
good arena card
I think this goes into Handbuff Paladin. Can be played on Curve after Meanstreet Marshal and Righteous Defender. Also Paladin needs 2-Drops.
If you wanna convince me spending 50 bucks you might as well reveal a better card, nice try blizz..
She dies to a ping --> worse, less useful than Shattered Sun Cleric even considering the difference of their mana cost.

Decent arena card. While it dies to a ping, if you played a 1/3 minion on turn 1, into this on turn 2. Then your opponent just wasted his turn 2 or 3 pinging your board. If you opponent doesn't have a ping, then even better.
Not worthy of constructed decks though.
Love the art on this card, too bad its mediocre. I still likey.
