The weapon is crazy good. I think people are really underestimating how powerful a 5/3 Lifesteal weapon is. Especially if you combo it with Blackguard.
The battlecry is great, equip a 5/3 wepon + 5 life from lifesteal + 5 armor.
The hero power is bad, if you summon 4 2/2 minions and opponent cannot do anything you win anyway.
How is the hero power bad? It's a straight +1/+1 from the default Paladin one and has the potential of winning you the game outright if your opponent is out of answers. Seems pretty much like an upgrade over the paladin hero power to me and mages, druids, and rogues no longer counter it with their own hero power which makes it infinitely better.
I think this is most comparable to Justicar Trueheart with the hero power upgrade (2/2 instead of 2 1/1s). You'll never get that win condition unless you do some wacky stuff with Auctionmaster Beardo or Garrison Commander. You heal for 5 instantly and up to 15 over the 3 turns, also with potential to kill minions an deal face damage.
it will rarely happen but will put intense pressure on you opponent. you can have two horsemen and play tarim . You will most times make your opponent make bad trades or waste removal . Or cast spikeriged steed (whatever it is called ) and start summoning 2/2's . Also with the new 5/3 weapon you can keep them safe . If it is not interesting and meta-defining i don't know what is .
Warlock is actually getting a decent amount of support from the current revealed cards. Just Lifesteal in neutral minions alone really helps, and Defile is just great. I'm already seeing success with my 'doomlock' deck with Jaraxxus as a finisher, (decent) life gain is all I need to climb the ranks with it!
In Wild you can use this and with Auctionmaster Beardo and 3 1-mana spells all discounted by Emperor Thaurissan you can Exodia your opponent. Pretty fitting as you will have 5 minions on board. What's even cooler is that you can play 2x Hydrologists to not need to run potentially bad 1 mana secrets while still having retaining access to 1 mana cards and let's not forget you can fetch the Murlocs with The Curator.
in wild, this is a turn 8/9/10 combo for win. turn 1-8(likely 8) Fencing Coach - turn 9 hero card - turn 10 Maiden of the Lake and hero power 4 times. That's only a 3 card combo with also the multi turn set up, but it ain't that bad.
Turn 9 you get the major sustain from both the life steal weapon and the armor from the hero. Turn 8 is the most difficult as it forces you to have a poor play, but with a good old steed you can probably keep them off you to 9 and 10
As a Paladin Main, I can tell that Uther of the Ebon Blade is an exciting card mechanic and will see some good otk combo in wild and maybe standard with Auctionmaster Beardo this i really fun card in general!
Blizzard will open a portal and disconnect you from internet (just for one turn, of course).
I wasn't excited about the expansion before but I sure am now!

Even if you don't kill your opponent with the hero power still a pretty good card
looses to Lord Jaraxxus.
Not like Warlock will see any play lul.
You know shit's bad when you miss Midrange Shaman.
Ice block only works with damage.
E.g. MAGES CAN DIE

Simply PogChamp
hell of a challenge to keep 4 horsemen alive,
Love the concept of it tho, Lifesteal is great too
Wild Paladin fun

Good card, easy fit into control paladin.

Interesting one, control pala might have the problem thought that aggro/zoo pala might be better.
Iceblock makes a hero immune and destroy goes through immune I think. Doomsayers have killed tavern brawl immune minions.
Am a budget player trying to create fun and interesting decks. Sorry for bad spelling.
Ironically the DeathKnight with the insta win condition is somehow the least gimmicky of the DeathKnights
Already calling nerf, lol :D
This is SO broken! Compare it with other DK hero powers and you will see how unbalanced is this shit.
