I play dragon paladin too, and personally I like Rend. Since it seems like everyone is running a C'Thun deck in standard, he makes a pretty good removal option for when C'Thun comes out and my other strong removal is used up already. Plus his body has to be dealt with afterwards or he can wreak real havoc.
Yeah, he's not the best, but it's been working for me pretty well so far.
I made a sort of improvised Miracle Rogue with this in it, and I can say that if it isn't killed immediately, it's well worth the 5 mana to play. (Assuming you're using a spell-heavy deck, of course.)
My best experience so far was playing Sprint and getting Archmage Antonidas. XD

Say what you will about its effect, but that golden art is pretty sweet.

Seeing him in-game I always thought he was some sort of weird troll with a massive silver-blue beard.
Only now do I realize he's a demon. ._.

If only this costed 3...
Then I could Evolve my Kobold Geomancer into this.

My favorite thing to use Rend Blackhand on.
"The true Horde cannot be stopped!"
"WE are the true Horde!" *Slash*

C'mon, everyone knows that you're 99% more likely to Holy Wrath > Molten Giant your own face.

I was playing against a shaman who coined out Totem Golem on turn 1. I flipped when I saw it, and it took my turn 2 and 3 to kill it.
Then he played this, and it summoned another Totem Golem. I was about ready to pass out.

I really like the effort they put into the Golden Animation. =O

Imagine if Warlock could use it... Pit Lord might actually be viable.
Turn 3: Coin --> Animated Armor
Turn 4: Pit Lord for 1 life. =D
Plus, 1-Life Hero Power.
As I've seen others say, it'd be cool in some other classes, but it's kinda "meh" for Mage.
