Game Board
The Cinematic
[[Glass Knight]] was one of and one mana more expensive. This new card is bonkers even if you don't pull of the effect.
Just because it's +1/+1 better than a horrible vanilla card comparable to Silverback Patriarch doesn't mean it's viable.
As a Paladin main I wasn't as impressed with it, but remember if you drop this on turn 3 you force your opponent to 1) Use 2 spells to remove it or 2) leave it and play something that can easily be removed. In any situation, your opponent can't risk trading into it and not killing it as Spellburst will bring the Divine Shield back. 4.5/5 from me.
For first day of school, that seems to be a pure / duel deck type support which is really needed for Paladin as they lack card generation. The 1-drop pool isn't fantastic but having this on turn 1 is definitely a huge positive especially against aggro decks. 4/5 from me
Or they can
3) Remove it with one spell
Or
4) Ignore it because it's just a sticky 4-attack minion, while they bash your face in and win the game because you passed turn three.
You can remove it for 1-2 mana, or 3 with control deck, which means you either get behind one turn in tempo, or just get curved by control. This card is trash
Maybe if you play against another paladin, because it's the only class who can't remove for like 2 mana at most
Lol you call playing a 4/2 divine shield on 3 "passing the turn". Need some serious schooling rofl...
Because that's what it is. It's a minion with low stats because of divine shield, any aggro will take it down with no problem without losing tempo, any control will have removal on curve
4/3+ isn't low stats for a 3-drop. The only 3-mana minions that have better stats than this have either conditions to get those stats, down sides for having those stats, or have the stats broken up into smaller bodies. None of them are more sticky.
Hope they give mage the comeback it deserves..I am holding my horses for now.
As a teacher I approve of this!
But I can't help wonder what that Transfer Student is up to...
Update: gave me a Plague of Death on the Uldum(?) game board.
Update 2: just saw they're all listed on wiki already:-)
Transfer Student.........Fool Arcana, Persona flashbacks
Looking good. Rattlegore looks insane.
Finally some mage stuff! Like it!
As a Standard Control Mage player, Devolving Missiles is gorgeous.
Duel Class Cards? A lot of happy Magic players. Seems like an obvious, fun next step! I'm excited.
