Actually I don't think that on Standard there is enough consistency to make it work properly, but maybe in the next reveals we may see some more Dragon tribe both neutral and for Paladin. Let's hope!

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
This could be great... but we need more dragons for Paladin. As it stands now, why would you include this in your deck if you're playing CTA? And why would you NOT play CTA, given how great it is for aggressive Paladin decks?
What a mess. Great dragon card but not enough dragons to support dragon pally. Gives you a Loatheb and then gives counter decks AOE to make it not matter. Can't you pallys tell Blizzard is just trolling you?

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
I am happy that Blizzard is still adding Dragon synergy cards, especially ones with great value like this, but I worry that they will not see play outside of Wild, as the only new Dragon that Paladins can use so far is Nightmare Amalgam. Of course, this card has two Years in Standard for new Dragons to come along, so this is still worth keeping an eye on.
That said, I am always grateful for more Divine Shield/Taunt minions to use. Now, how will this card compete with Righteous Protector? Paying an extra mana might be worth it if it means I don't have to summon a 1-health minion.

There are plenty of neutral dragons at the moment.

I actually like this card a lot because it tinkers with the idea of bringing back dragon paladin, the only problem is a certain card called Call to Arms which basically makes this card bad if it gets pulled out and for this to be effective you'd have to play a deck without CtA and with it basically being the best paladin card right now, you probably wouldn't want to play a deck without it, but we'll see.

I’m grateful for this. I thought they forgot all about Dragon Paladin. Maybe now they will finally make it a thing??
FINALLY A TWO DROP FOR THIS CLASS CHRIST
It is hard to imagine there will be enougj dragons released in this set. Maybe useful in wild?
With cobalt scalebane paladin prolly only needs 1 more decent dragon for this to see play
so we can almost guarantee we are seeing a new dragon for pally this expansion? If not this card we see very little standard play.
The card itself is pretty good, but makes no sense as an epic.
Blizzard really wants pali to have early game divine taunt to screw with everybody.

Good card. Feels like it’s two expansions too late though. Will definitely be a nice addition to Wild.

I love it! I mean a playable dragon paladin might only be doable in wild but I'm down to try this out for sure.
Dust.
Call to arms nerf for the honor of playing shitty dragon Paladin?
As long as call to arms is around this card is unplayable.
I think this card will see play in the next year when Call to Arms will rotate out.
