+Prophet Velen, Raza, and Radiant Elemental + loads of cheap stuff.

Interesting.

Not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.  Wouldn't be surprised to see it find a place in some sort of low minion count control.

May God bless.

This, in itself, is a great card for rogue. The problem is that rogue doesn't really have the health gain to make the best use out of it. Hard to evaluate, but I can imagine it being played as a one-of perhaps.

It's more or less aShadow Strike with 2 uses, but you pay say 7-8 health for it on average. Is that acceptable? For the most part I would probably say yes.

This card is dreadfully bad.  4/3 body for 6 mana, requires a greedy deck full of high cost cards to be of any value, competes with the likes of Justicar, Sylvanas, and even Cairne for the slot.

Totally unreliable, requires a board presence to even pull off a potentially horrible exchange.

Bottom of the barrel here.

I really think you guys are underestimating this card.  An initial 3 mana for 2/2 worth of stats and a free Paladin token every turn thereafter.
With Stealth, he can be hard for a lot of decks to deal with early on.  I'll definitely give it a shot before I call it crap.

If every other deck in the game is like playing Checkers, Patron is like playing Chess.  The plays you can make in all their variety... threaten to blow my brain right out of my ear.  I look forward to spending some extended time with this list!

Rancor, baby.

You guys are underestimating this card, I believe.

What exactly makes this weak?  Don't forget, if you hit 12 life, there's nothing stopping you from armoring up in some fashion.

Absolutely agree.  He's at least one card you can't replace.

You are all saying it's filler now, but it's a neutral Windfury card that actually has some decent health for once. There are possibilities here...

Seems good in Galvadon Paladin. One big question is whether or not you get to choose a new Adapt if you target him with Adaptation - that would be a huge T5 play, as you could give him +3 Health or Stealth, while summoning a 1/1 Taunt to further protect him. That then means turn 6 you can slam down Spikeridged Steed which is SICK value and puts you 4/6 done with quest by itself.

This card and Primalfin Champion single-handedly enable the archetype, but I still don't think we'll see a ton of Galvadon in Standard - too much risk, too little power compared to some of the other quests and the Jade Army.

Thanks for the answer! Part of me really hope that with such a small team every single one of you are millionaires. The other part kinda thinks this number is really low! But I am just a Internet dude. One more question! I think is safe to say that the vocal community is tired of losing to aggro, do you guys think is fair criticism to say that the team could be doing a better job at balancing aggro?

To clarify, this is also just the design team I'm speaking to. There are many other people of various disciplines like art, engineering, production, community, QA, customer support, marketing, business, etc that make an equally large impact on the game. (Source)

LOL HE DIDNT ANSWER THE AGGRO QUESTION. Welcome to Politics!!!

Stats are too underwhelming. If we're looking at strictly value with regards to the minion summoned, you'd have to consistently pull out at least a 4 drop just to break even assuming you're swapping out stuff like Silver Hand Recruits or Totems. And if you're playing this card you don't want to just break even so really you'd need to build a deck around it where you can consistently bring out 5+ drops.

Card needs a dedicated deck so it'll probably only see play in gimmicky decks.

Exactly my thoughts on Zoo also. I feel you need an Unstable Ghoul in the mix. I'm using one at the expense of a Harvest Golem. 

I'm not sure on the necessity of the Acolyte of Pain either. Generally Lay on Hands is all the card draw I need.
