Can confirm. Weird interaction with Choose One cards as well. I was going against a mage and their Firelands Portal turned into Wisps of the Old Gods and somehow managed to trigger both parts of the new card at the same time...twice.

So naturally I died to a full board of 5/5 Wisps along with the Reno they played earlier. Very cool Blizzard.

The secrets you discover depend on the secrets you played to trigger him.

Play a Paladin Secret: Discover Rogue, Mage, or Hunter.

Play a Mage Secret: Discover Rogue, Hunter, or Paladin.

Play a Hunter Secret: Discover Rogue, Paladin, or Mage.

Play a Rogue Secret: Discover Paladin, Mage, or Hunter.

This is how you get a not-rogue secret from his guy in the first place.

If you really wanna surprise people, try playing this with Greater Emerald Spellstone for instant 14 burst damage.

Update from the future, E.M.P. Operative is a thing now.

On the plus side, this works well with dudes or murlocs...or anything for that matter. On the downside by the time you play this you'll probably already have lethal. That being said, I was looking for yet another way to buff my dude army in the late game. If there's no other options that pop up for Paladin in this expansion, I'll give this a shot.

I found out why aggro paladins could use this card.

Because we all (should) know a spell doesn't have to deal damage in order for it to be annoying, useful, and worth 2 mana to shut up for a turn. Isn't that right Big Priest and your 10+ resurrection cards for one monster?

Back from the future and once again the rating system is dead wrong.

This card is a great aggro AND anti-aggro tool turning usually ignore-able dudes into annoying threats on offense and defense. There's nothing more satisfying than getting a combo off with Quartermaster and this card, and having a board of 3-6 surprise 5/5 minions. Heavily underrated, just ask anyone who fought against a silver dude paladin nowadays.

Can't wait to get a third copy of this with Ivory Knight.

Calling it now, Shadowreaper Anduin is gonna love this card.

Except it does. Make sure she's on the board first before using Lost in the Jungle.

Did my first Dungeon Run, picked Paladin, made a Silver Hand deck. Got Potion of Vitality, Justicar's Ring, Vorpal Dagger, and a wand that adapts a minion equal to the number of bosses you already beat. Made it to the Dragon guarding the treasure at the bottom. Things were going well until the dragon gave one of the treasures a permanent attack boost. So I figured I'd just destroy it and keep going.

Dragon: "You will pay for your greed..."

10/10 Would get devoured by a dragon again.

That flavor text made me laugh way harder than it should have.

I want to make this card work. I'm gonna use this in Wild Ranked first because there's more dude synergy there, then I'm gonna head to Standard when I'm done. I still believe this card has a lot of untapped potential.

Well, this is an interesting card. You can make it yourself with Blessing of Kings and Argent Squire as early as Turn 4; in that case the only thing you're doing is putting 2 cards into 1 for 1 extra mana when you play this without filling your board with recruits. But as to making Crystal Lion work as intended...

In Wild, I only really get a good amount of Silver Hand Recruits in the late game, and by that time the minions themselves are usually buffed by Quartermaster and/or Lightfused Stegodon which make often make them more valuable than this since I can swarm the field with them. And even that is only after a lot of work involving Vinecleaver, Muster for Battle, Justicar Trueheart, and more.

In Standard, it's a lot harder to make this work. It's harder to combine summoning and buffing the recruits at the same time so they stay alive and do work for you. And since this card relies on how many recruits are still alive versus how many you summoned, this card is essentially a reward for managing to fill your board with them. Stand Against Darkness can bring this out for 1 mana, but the earliest you can do that is Turn 5 with The Coin unless you somehow already control the board and have a bunch of recruits. And by that time there should be more pressing things that your opponent is doing that makes a 5/5 not so dangerous, even with a Divine Shield.

That being said, I can't really find any space for poor Crystal Lion. I need the cards I already have to make the Silver Hand Recruits actually work and scale into late game. And since I am focusing on the recruits, I'm focused on buffing them and not the cards revolving around them. It has potential, it's not bad, but I don't think I'll find Crystal Lion taken seriously.

As a Silver Hand Recruit main, this Bingo made me chuckle. Keep it up.
