That cards adds such a card avantage, it's really good in itself.
And, once again, I find people being like "won't see play in constructed" very fun, because you have no idea how your beloved constructed will be like once the expansion gets released and the months following that.
I love you. I only play constructed and laugh at everyone being like "oh this won't see play in constructed." These being the same people who said Dr. Boom was bad when it was revealed, or that mech as a tribe would never work, etc.
Actually, this wouldn't be too bad in Priest, which always enjoys the heals, card draw, weapons, and solid bodies of other classes, particularly that of Paladin. Of all the Paladin cards we know of, the only thing that you would be sad to pull would be Quartermaster, due to your lack of Silver Hand Recruits, and Bolvar Fordragon, due to the Priest playstyle of keeping a few minions alive as long as possible.
Come to think of it, you could put two copies of Grand Crusader along with two copies of Silver Hand Regent to make a Priest/Paladin hybrid deck.
This seems nice. But it's pretty unfair for Pally in the sense that there are neutral cards that gives them Paladin stuff - that 3/4 mana thing that summons the silver hand knight and then this. Blizz pls
Unfair for pala? That is unfair for the other classes. Every class will have the same number of class cards in TGT. Pala will have 2 more than other because they have neutral cards that are thought specificly for it. If you get Quartermaster with Grand Crusader and you are mage or warrior, fck off. If you get that card and you are paladin, you will have another piece of a broken synergy.
What I´m trying to say is that pala cards have synergy with pala cards most of times, or with cards that use to be played in pala deck, so paladin will have a lot of adventage of them more than other classes. Sometimes you will get a good pala card playing with mage and you will think "Oh, i needed it" but I think that pala have 2 more class card masked with "neutral". THAT is unfair.
I didn't think of it that way. :P
That's a good point you raise there, but still. You get what I'm trying to say thought right? It's like - anyone can be a paladin, even hunter and rogues...
I'm a little higher on it than most. My Druid could use a little removal. Maybe this gives him some? Most likely I'm going to like whatever I get 80% of the time. Just seems like good times to me. I dont' feel like my 6 drop is terribly crowded. ET and Sylvanas? That's 2. Could ramp druid play 3 or 4 6 drops? Maybe. I'm not an expert. Probably why I like the card more than most.
I look forward to experimenting with it at the very least.

So... 25/36 or about a 2 in 3 chance of getting something at least decent. 1 in 4 chance of getting a really good card.
5/5 with a class card draw... for 6 mana. it's awesome, really surprised with the amount of negative comments. the fact that it's neutral is just too amazing, i forgive any flaws.
I don't understand why this card is neutral, but I will say this: I can't picture another class EXCEPT paladin playing this card in their deck. On a stretch I can see rogue or even mage, but those two are serious stretches at best.
Otherwise I do like the card. Paladin is not exactly the most draw-friendly class out there and I see this as a card to help bolster paladin hand-health. I can see some ladder play with it.
The 5/5 body for 6 is not worth the card you'll get. Sure, Paladins have some excellent cards *cough*Tirion Fordring*cough*, but the body is too weak to justify it in constructed. It'll be great in Arena because any source of card advantage is excellent, but in Constructed this is going to have to contest with Sylvanas and Thaurissan in the 6-slot, and the effect just isn't worth it.
I am predicting a future Trolden video involving a Paladin playing three Tirion Fordrings with the help of this guy though.
Don't know about the card but maybe it is not that bad. Classes with bad card draw could actually benefit from this.. (Especially since they seem to boost Battlecry a bit in this expansion too)

Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy, too?
Blizzard are a bunch of classists against Paladins.
See what I did there?
Now it's time to make a neutral, common card that summons Aviana and Emperor Thaurissan
mfw his Yogg steals my win
I think you might be right :P
My comments refer mostly to the wild format.
I expect there to be one of these types of "Give you opponent class card" for EVERY class.
A Knight for Paladin cards. Mage combatant for Mage cards, etc.
Just expanding on the idea of Nefarian.
Also, I hate the 5/5 body for 6 mana. Yuck.
6 drop 5/5 is Sylvanas Emperor Thaurissan etc...
I love you. I only play constructed and laugh at everyone being like "oh this won't see play in constructed." These being the same people who said Dr. Boom was bad when it was revealed, or that mech as a tribe would never work, etc.
Eye for an Eye, Noble Sacrifice, Repentance!
And a lot of bad ones. Sigh, more RNG.

You might think this card isn't bad until you realize that 1/3rd of paladin cards are shitty 1 mana spells.
Nice arena pick, strange card for constructed, possibly WILL see play, but... dont know where :-(
