Time to review another new card... because I want to get most of the new set out of way as I play with the cards.
Time for Ivory Knight
The Breakdown
This is a 6 mana 4/4 minion. So... 3.4 mana of stats? Well that is the only bad news. Now for the good news! This card lets you discover a spell! With how discover works, (only letting you get cards from your class and neutral cards, but their are no neutral spells) you will be presented with 3 random paladin spells to choose from, the chosen spell is added to your hand. And what is more? You gain life based on that spells cost! (honestly my first thought when I saw this was oh look! A paladin Antique Healbot)
I love using the Equality + Consecration combo, and I found that this card has a pretty high chance of grabbing my missing piece for this combo.
Some people are trying to say this card is bad because you can get the WORST paladin spell, Eye for an Eye,off it. My answer... no... sure you can... but you will always have 3 CHOICES! If you see and Eye for an Eye, Hand of Protection, and Divine Strength, you will NOT pick the Eye for an Eye, the divine shield or the buff will be better. But that is the WORSE case possible off this discover. You MIGHT get the choice of Equality, Consecration, Blessing of Kings, Stand Against Darkness, Hammer of Wrath, or EVEN Avenging Wrath or EVEN Lay on Hands. You have to admit, this card is INSANE! Letting you use an extra spell... and HEALING you?
Sure the effect is still RNG, but I have not yet been faced with 3 bad choices.
Conclusion
Ivory Knight is a good replacement for paladins for the previous rotated Antique Healbot.
I hope you enjoyed reading this! If you see something I missed or want me to review a certain card just let me know :)

There is absolutely ZERO way this deck wins against decks with other large minions or damage done directly to your face. I agree it's a great deck against Zoo, Hunter and most Control though. A single Blade of C'thun is not NEARLY enough large creature removal to give you any chance.
