Lol it didnt came just to late, it couldnt come before jade rotated out. Do you even balance bro ?

Yes I know that, how does it change the validity of my statement ?

Bonemare sin't exactly even

Haha I love this specific comment thread. Someday there will an Archeologist section : Hearthpwn comment's mysterious ancient language

Don't get me wrong, this is a pretty good card and i very much like it.

But i've read a handful of comments all saying this is something incredible with buffs, like a 5/5 for 4 mana with the +3 buff. All those people seem to have forgotten that Wickerflame Burnbristle already exist and is basically exactly this card, but with the effect already active, and divine shield instead of 3 health. If 2 heatlh + divine shield is weaker than 5 health against very small minions and pings, it is generally better in midgame with medium-sized minions (think 2 murlocs buffed by Murloc Warleader, 2 zoolock minions even like just 2 Blood Imp) and is also strictly better against a big drop. These pros and cons of each statline make the 2 cards on the same powerlevel IF Paragon of Light had the effect right away, which in fact makes burnbristle the best card. So all those buff shenanigans were all already possible with Wickerflame Burnbristle and control paladin is not even playing it anymore, and he has never proved to be hella broken with lots of buffs anyway, not even mentioning all those handbuffs that are here now and are going away.

So don't count on setting up a really big Paragon of Light, it will mostly just be played to be slightly buffed early and get a already bigass enough taunt on turn 3, 5 or 5. Even a simple tick of Sword of Justice makes it a Water Elemental DK-ed with thaunt for 3 mana which is insane in early game.

No,cubelock is very welcome. Compare it to raza priest. It shutted down all other control deck. 

Been playing lots of control mage latly, i still have 100% win rate vs cubelock. 

Because this cards is extremely good for the cost if it gets buffed by only 1 atk, so it would be slightly overpowered with mean streets handbuffs. To get its full value you have to rely on buffs that are more difficult to set up. This card has a very needed spot in a Heal Paladin archetype imo.

but they (dev team, yes also ben brode) LITTERALLY said the BASE cards SHOULD be bad, and both examples i've used ARE base cards

Quote from nexit1337 >>

ferocious howl - weaker than the shield block warrior card (3 mana gain 5 armor and draw 1 card BASE rarity) if you have 4 or less cards in hand

bewitched guardian - WEAKER 100% from the other druid card, from the cthun era (5 mana 4/5 battlecry: if cthun is 10/10 or above, gain +5 health), and ALSO this is BAD in arena, if you topdeck this in the late stage of the game, it's basically a 5 mana 4/1 with taunt - not even shield masta senju is THAT WEAK, and HE IS A BASE rarity CARD.

Okay card. But one of the shittiest art work in hearthstone.

3/12. Summoned minions never retain buffs.

Astral Tiger is just an astral projection. While Witchwood Grizzly is a ghost, ghosts are usually beasts, e.g. Arfus

Meh, mostly just clickbait.

I never said that this will get you 77% win-rate over a large sample or claimed that this is a 77% deck overall. Your opinion makes sense BUT its totally unrelated and pointless in this context. Sure my friend changed a few cards but that's what made this deck different. 

Its pretty evident that every archetype will have a few core cards so the point of changing a few cards is what makes a decks different. Maybe you need to spend some more time making your own decks to realize. I never claimed this to be a new Archetype.

So your long rant was just misplaced anger. Go find your real problems.

 

If there is ever a deck, what works built around this card surviving a turn, opponent will just kill it. It's not even hard - it's a 3/8 - stats from a bad 5drop

Lets look at this with unbiased honesty...if the enemy trades into this...they are taking 3 in the trade and then 3 that may or may not go face, you will almost never want this to go face as it is clearly not an aggro card. That is a total of 6 damage per traded as well, such is below the average damage of a 7 mana minion. IF you manage to use a combo like warpath or whatever over several turns somehow to ping this 8 times, you are getting 24 damage out of it with no targeting that happens over several turns and requires well over 10 mana on top of a lot of luck AND you killing your 7 mana minion in the process. Lastly it cannot attack yet it lost 3 stats for an effect that as far as I can tell is usually negative. Over all this is simply an awfully designed card. I admit it might be a bit fun, but it is not even a fun that can high roll to victory unless you have your opponent nearly dead anyway.

One small thing on top of all this...why is this not a mech?
