Its just Val'anyr but better. You get it turn 3 instead of turn 6 and you don't have to waste a turn swinging with a weapon like Val'anyr. The only issue is Blizzard might not give Dragon Paladin a win condition and without that this good card probably wont see play because "play big minnons" isn't good enough in modern hearthstone meta.
Agree, best case this card snowballs, okayish it draws a silence, low roll it's in the bottom of your deck. The big problem is tempo decks get wrecked in this meta, either freight trained by agro or outvalued by infinite archetypes.
It's hard to say this card is bad, because it's being rated in a vacuum. It's dependency on a tribe limits it's playability in general and it doesn't belong in the only meta pali deck on standard as is. So potentially very good right now just okay.
Great card in general though, love the flavour and I'm happy to see slower cards so far in this release.
So potentially meta defining since that's an S-tier cars in its released meta and still sees play in wild?
A worse version is still a very very good card.
Val'anyr could go in anything. This card goes in specifically dragon paladin so if that deck isn't good enough this card isn't either. Too early to call imo. They're obviously going to print some a ton of dragon stuff this expac.
I was commenting more on the negative tone of the original comment, as if Val'anyr is a bad card and this one is worse.
This card definitely has the potential to be very strong if IF it gets the support you mention, and also if silence is common of not in the meta.

We played 2 different meta's I guess, since it was in a lot of agro and even decks at legend ranks. But I'll digress...
