Yeah lets make odd pally stronger and Murloc pally will stay as murloc pally.

Paladin still will be broken thank you.

Great...now Odd Pally, a deck I cannot stand, becomes stronger.  

 Jesus fucking christ, are people really this dumb?

Tell me, would you pay 5 mana to play 3 one drops? I don't think you would.

 5 mana to draw 3 cards and play them immediately(all 1 mana cards). Or 2 mana to draw 3 cards, then play them all. 

How is that bad value?

This nerf had it coming. This card virtually single-handedly made even paladin broken, and that shouldn't happen.

Well time do play my Murloc Paladin.

Everybody saying odd paladin wont benefit from this, they will. Odd paladin biggest counters get nerfed, call to arms will be played because argent protectors are really good. Maybe we will see hyper aggresive pallys where 5 mana play 3 one mana  cards is justified., i wouldnt even be surprised to see gravelsnout knights

Even Paladin is dead, but then, with the latest refinements (Vala'nyr, Argent Commander, etc) it might not actually affect Paladin at all.

The 1 mana hero Power gone will now open the possibility to combine all that with more quality cards like Righteous Protector, Leeroy Jenkins, Divine Favor, Vicious Fledgling, Fungalmancer and even Harrison Jones for more card draw. Even tech Mindbreaker.

The overall Paladin cards are so good that someone even won 12 games in the Brawliseum forgetting to put Greymane in. 

The real question is would you pay 2 mana to draw 3 1 drop cards from your deck?

 it's not bad value, but it's not good enough for a hard-aggro deck like Odd Paladin. Remember you'd also have to run a lot more 1-drops to justify 2x call to arms, which further damages deck quality.

 Yes 5 mana summon 3 1 drops. amazing. Kappa

Odd paladin won't run it, 5 mana for 3 1-Cost minions is really bad value

Love this nerf, it's the exact one I've been advocating for. Removes it from Even Paladin, slows it down for Murloc Paladin, and gives it to Odd Paladin where it can only pull 1-drops (where it'll still be strong and useable but much less broken). Can't wait for this change to go live.

I would say the same to you.  Would you pay 5 mana to draw three cards? And then 0 mana to play those three cards? I think you would.

Think before you post.  There's more to CtA than the mana cost of the cards involved...

 

Hmmm . . .

Call to Arms is a tutoring effect - you don't draw three cards off the top, you draw three specific cards from the deck. Drawing three 1-mana minions was costed at 3-mana on Small-Time Recruits - the card never really saw competitive play, suggesting that the tutoring effect is competitively costed at 2-mana. It's also important to remember that Call to Arms doesn't actually play any minions - it summons them, and the minions lose their Battlecry effects. That's a big deal for 1-mana minions - the best 1-drops have 1ish mana Battlecries attached to a 2/1 body. A 2-mana version of STR would see plenty of play in aggressive Paladin lists - for 5-mana, you draw the three weakest minions from your deck, and play them. The nerfed version of CTA seems quite weak in comparison - for 5-mana, you draw the three weakest minions from your deck, but lose their Battlecries when you "play" them.

It will require testing - current iterations of the deck run a handful of 1-drops that turn into vanilla 2/1s with CTA, which presumably isn't worth running the card. At 5-mana, the nerfed card will also be competing with a couple of cards which simply seem much better - Fungalmancer and Level Up!. We'll know in a couple of weeks, I suppose . . .

Quote from Vikariushx >>

Of course you would play 5 mana draw 3 one drops and play them. In every normal and odd paladin deck.

This is actually a good change since the decks that abuse it, will be slowed a turn, but Odd Paladin won't benefit from it as much keeping it in check.
