This will be quite common in Control and Midrange, pretty much any Paladin deck. It helps to wrestle control of the board from your opponent and stop them and their cancerous bullshit in their tracks so you can build up. :P

Most Handlocks/Renolocks you should destroy with a Combo Druid. Their burst healing doesn't really cut it when you can take them from a respectable amount of health to zero in a single turn. They'll pull themselves close enough to 14 by life-tapping and as long as you apply a small amount of pressure they'll crumble under the FoN-SR combo bullshit. :P

That's true, but the persisting threat and possibility of non-spell discounts (namely Jaraxxus costing 0, got that a few times) is well worth the unreliability, not to mention the greatly lesser health loss.

This card is pretty on par with Wilfred in terms of the discount you'll receive, but without the persistent effect...is everyone forgetting that?

PLEEEEASE let it be Archimonde! He's so much cooler than Cho'Gall. I could handle giving up the WoG Warlock legendary slot to Cho'Gall if we got a cool hero skin like Archimonde. :P

Really upset about this card >:( No Demon legendary to synergise with other Demons, doesn't look like Demon Warlock can be a thing in Standard...

I want my Turtle back. :-/

I agree with most of what you are saying, but I can't really see "the most efficient removal" compared to other classes like warlock, priest and warrior. Let priest have a go at top tier because screw rogue

 Equality consecration, sure its 2 cards, but its a 6 mana one sided twisting nether., aldor peacekeeper. Don't even try and tell me aldor isn't a removal spell 80% of the time what am I gonna do with a 1/7? Hah, jokes on you uther you cunt, i've got you on a 24 turn clock. Keeper of uldaman works the same way, change a ysera into a 3/3 punch it with the peacekeeper you used on boom. the 4/2 weapon, also removal, The thrice cursed secret that makes my fattie an X/1. Shit, even enter the coliseum could see play once standards a thing. THen they just peacekeep your survivor. Fuck paladins, they just have more ways of making the game a shitfucking grind that makes you wish you were rather cutting off your own fingers, since that would be more fun.

Paladin dont deserve any good new cards.

I think it's very likely that it's a Warlock spell, featuring Cho'Gall as the art. Not a Warlock legendary with Cho'Gall as the character.

Much like Fist of Jaraxxus features Jaraxxus, or Shattered Sun Cleric features Lady Liadrin, or Crush features Mannoroth, none of these cards are actually named as the characters they feature.

Anyone else really hurting for a Paladin card with some sweet Judgment set art? :D

I really hope we get something like it in the near future, the art and lore is 50% of the reason I play this game. xD

Excuse me, what? 

POWER CREEEEEEEEP (but not really)

This could be good for a starter against aggro decks to slow them down, or used nicely a little later in the game with Sunkeeper Tarim.

Nice card.

This seems absolutely busted as it basically turns the hero power into "full heal a minion". Shaman already have decent tools to protect minions and the cards we've seen so far further improves this. I think this could easily turn into a very consistent and powerful snowball effect similar to pre-nerf quest rogue where your opponent just can't recover. But at the very least you'll have to draw this card first so there's that =)

Awesome! Let's be prepared for (another) Shammy meta! And probably forget the freeze package... :(

This post confuses me because most things in hearthstone don't have counterplay. Loatheb is one of the only cards in the games that shuts down your opponents spells for instance. 

You can not like cards for certain reasons, but saying this is a crazy change to competitive play because no counterplay...what?

On top of this, you can already mill your opponent to burn more of their cards.

Love it, i realy hope Blizz is steping away from having influence on oponents decks, it just sucks to have no tools vs combo deck other than plane aggro.

Its basically a hate card vs combo, but realy randomized. Stats however are fine and solid. Dont know if this is good enough to see play. If fights end up going to fatigue often (which is kinda hard to imagine atm) this might make the cut.

Interesting card

Yeah pretty much 2 mana 2/3 do nothing, although it can f up some deck strategies like destroying a 2nd jade idol, or evolve, alex etc.

how about new cards for today?

Now that we saw Frost Lich Jaina's hero power, I think mage could be tier 0 if the meta slows down enough. Turn 9 Hero, turn 10 Sindragosa + hero power the champ for a Water Elemental with Lifesteal and a random Legendary at hand. Scary!
