So for the past year, Paladin legendaries have been really bad and situational. For the first time I feel like we got the good side of the stick. Both Lady Liadrin and Murgur Murgurgle are quite good considering the flexibility they give. If we look at the legendaries we got such as Shirvallah, the Tiger which was situational and did make an Archetype exist, Nozari which in my opinion was the worst one, Kangor's Endless Army which again was very situational, Nozdormu the Timeless which was the second useless card that I still to this day don't understand its purpose / logic, Commander Rhyssa An amazing legendary, but nothing special and not as powerful as it seems, Dragonrider Talritha again nothing powerful and very slow in any meta.
Am I looking at these legendaries in the wrong way or has Paladin been getting a very low quality Legendary cards for the past year?
Believe it or not, out of these Shirvallah was the strongest / most frustrating one to play against, OTK Paly was extremely annoying to deal with, and far more scary than Libram Paly ever could be.
Overall tho - neah, nothing meta defining for Paly, Mech Paly was by far the strongest deck and it did so without any Class legendarys.
Yeah these dragons are quite disappointing. I understand that Nozdormu the Timeless is used best on 9 or 10th turn, but only for stats? That's it?
Both the dragons give the opponent an advantage, they might as well give us a legendary that will help us build a dream deck, a "friendly paladin archetype" that auto-wins your opponent.
You forgot the newest paladin quest where he it ONLY works with the reborn mechanic meaning he has a SUPER limited build around and it hold its back so much from being decent.
Last year paladin legendaries were well..bad,just straight bad or situational,shrivallah made it to otk archetype,that was it,this year or rather expansion ones looks better since fish leggy is good on its own and if paladin will get more support in form of buffed librams liadrin can be potentially awesome value generator in future.
I'll be honest. Upon closer observation, Paladin has never really gotten a good Legendary besides Tirion Fordring. I would argue there was not a single Paladin Legendary that wasn't situational besides maybe Sunkeeper Tarim, which was still situational in it's own right. You've really opened my eyes to this.

Well there was also that 3 mana 2/2 with lifesteal and divine shield and taunt. That card was also good.
What do you mean by "bad"? Bad as in generally bad or bad as in it's only useful in one or two decks? Isn't that the case with most legendary class cards? I don't necessarily think this is exclusive to Paladin. I would definitely say it's worse with Paladin, however.
Nozdormu the Timeless is not only a good turn 9,10 play but potentially a great turn 4 play against aggro who is very likely low on cards and unlikely to exploit the extra mana better than you. Sounds highly situational but it would be quite applicable to the current meta with DH and even more against Face Hunters

For the first time in years I really like the direction they decided to take Pally in Outlands. I really like the librams a lot and I think there's a potential top tier deck in there. Lady Liadrim is a great late game bomb and Murgur is just a good card for any deck.
I completely agree that the dragons were pointless. Naturally I have both in golden which I pulled from packs. I've been waiting to see if they'll ever become viable so not de'ing them just yet. But when they rotate to Wild they will be the first on my list if I need the dust.
One thing I have to say is that Paladin has some of the best looking golden legendaries in the game. They are really beautiful imo. Just look better than ones from other classes (of course there are some exceptions but in general Paladin's just look better). Bolvar is one of the best looking cards in the game. But I'll take a good card over a pretty card any day and we finally have 2 decent legendaries in Outlands. Pity I didn't pull either of these in golden but oh well...
Edit: Sunkeeper Tarim is one of my fav cards, so powerful. Looks sweet in gold too.

I think the purpose of Nozdormu is not to Rmap but to have a 4 Mana 8/8 later on when the Mana doesnt matter. Can be a huge Temposwing

Either buff these cards like:
Nozari: Restore 15 health.
Nozdormu the Timeless: Discover a card you played this game.
Or release a purepaladin legendary or libram legendary.
Or just delete this class and replace it with monk.

Wasn‘t it a 1/2 without taunt?! Oo
