Insanely strong but why on earth did they Tuskar again? This is so RNG heavy getting the 2x Recruit and win or taunt and lose will again decide games on turn 3 by pure coin toss such RNG is uneceptable on a 3 mana weapon.
If there were no RNG, any one of these effects would cause the weapon to cost more.
Plus, "Unidentified" items are a thing this expansion. They've already revealed the Priest one.

I know they are things, doesnt mean i have to like that kind of RNG.
Call me crazy, but I don't think a 2-attack weapon will see play in Midrange paladin decks. Rallying blade is run right now because it's 3 attack lines up perfectly with the most annoying early game threats currently in the meta. Even with the battlecry bonus, I feel like the 2-attack is going to be a hindrance.
We are seeing a considerable amount of Silverhand Recruit power now. They obviously want to make this deck work after this expansion.
I hope it's competitive. It'd be nice to have something new to try with Paladin.
I really like this weapon. It could give you a decent boost at turn 3. Even late in the game, divine shield on your minions would be amazing. Even taunt could be a life saver in the appropriate situation.
This card rivals muster for battle when you hit the recruits effect and rivals coghammer when you get the divine shield effect. The taunt effect is the only real loser because you play this in a tempo/aggro paladin deck so you don't really want to give all your minions taunt because it doesn't matter vs control and in other matchups they are fighting for the board not hitting your face. The only exception to this was pirate warrior which is now no longer playable.
This card is in direct competition with Rallying Blade. The decks where this will shine are board flood. If you have 3 or more minions on board and give them all divine shields, that's gonna be very powerful. The silver hand recruit option is similar to Muster for Battle, which is an incredibly strong card (one less dude, one more attack, one less durability). On average though, I don't think this will be as good as Rallying Blade. I'm going to guess that this will see some niche play, but the lion share will still go to Rallying Blade. I rated this card playable.
One weapon gives buffs to only one minion, while the other buffs your whole board.
I think even in a Token Paladin, Coghammer is better. And Rallying Blade as well. In Wild, this one is just worse in terms of stats and its unpredictability.
Yup exactly, in terms of those archetypes, but there's plenty in Wild that easily summons a board full of your Silver hand, and thats when you'd get more value out of this weapon than Coghammer

The possibility of getting taunt ruins it. It's not quite Very Good but it's definitely more than Playable.
OP. Will definitely see play. Great arena card.
Good Aggro paladin card and good Midrange Paladin card. Very cool.
Will almost never see play. Also more RNG because a CCG needs RNG like fish need bicylces.
should we lvl them up ?
Very Good for Paladin !
Some bonus effects are much better than others. Another RNG card, thanks Blizz.
Also makes you pine for Muster for Battle. For 3 mana you get 2 paladudes and a 2/2 weapon vs a 1/4 weapon and three paladudes!
Unidentified mauls have reached Hearthstone, but this guy can always help you out!

Ya this a playable to good card. Its flexible and cheap so it will fit most paladin decks. It’s gonna fit in well with my Skelemancer Paladin deck.
Can hunter get a good weapon now...please?

Not impressed.
Also if Priest stayes as strong as it is, this weapon doesnt help to boost the WR in that matchup ,neither does it kill their 1mana 1/3 Cleric.
