Paladin Legendary Card Revealed: Bolvar, Fireblood + 3 More!
Three Four new cards have been revealed via a new video featuring Dave Kosak talking about the upcoming free mission content. Bonemare was originally not posted here, we thought it was a Lich King only card!
It should also be noted a 5-drop Hunter card named Corpse Widow was spotted in the player's hand in the video. No text or other stats are available though. It's probably a beast though!

As much as I agree that the card is on the weak side, I think you're forgetting that in the context of the game, Blood Knight steals divine shield, where Bolvar will get stronger from them trading with divine shield on. It's a pretty significant difference, but it also puts it in the 'win more' camp, since he will do nothing from a losing position and nothing on his own.
maybe you are right, but he is still weak for the same exact reasons of Bolvar Fordragon , weak to silence and no immediate impact on the board (slow)
and I can make the argument that a 3 Mana 9/9 or 12/12 is better than 5 Mana 5/7 or 7/7 Divine Shield since you can play Argent Protector and give Blood Knight a Divine Shield
plus in a mirror matchup Blood Knight will be AMAZING!!
But it's not getting outvalued. You have to spend the divine shields with Blood Knight. You get to USE the divine shields on bolvar. This is particularly impactful on things like tirion, sunwalker, or other high-value divine shield cards against other big minions. For example (not a standard constructed situation, but a quick one) - tirion on board, versus a 6/6 minion. You'd be left with bolvar as a 3/7 and a 6/6 tirion instead of a 6/6 blood knight and a dead tirion.
Sometimes you want to use divine shield, not consume it.
Not even comparable, Blood Knight takes divine shields before your minions can trade, that's quite the sacrifice for the stats he'll gain.
Bolvar at "best" is a 5 mana 7/7 with Divine Shield, even worse if it got Silenced it becomes 1/7
whats wrong with you people comparing it to Tirion
if it was just a Vanilla 7/7 or even 5/7 with Divine Shield it will be way better than what he is right now
or if the text was "+2/+1" it will be slightly better
if I'm going to lose my Divine Shield I prefer to make a 12/12 minion over 7/7 which by the way more board impactful
the card in all means bad, not worth playing
Blood Knight was my first ever epic card so I have a special attachment to it. If they are pushing this divine shield archetype enough I might finally get to play it in a good deck.
I have been saving two bloodknights since 2 years ago waiting for this moment
Wickerflame Burnbristle + any windfury = Corpsetaker
Can you have 2 Wickerflame's in your deck? Does he get Lifesteal?
Wickerflame have lifesteal already...
Wickerflame Burnbristle will be updated to have Lifesteal in his text, so on it's own he will give Corpsetaker a lot of value
The expansion announcement said that Wickerflame Burnbristle and Mistress of Pain would both be updated to use the new lifesteal keyword.
Winter is here, confirmed.
PS: Watch the video.
I wonder what their going to do when they get around to Anchimode and Kiljaiden.
What if you draw Tirion before Corpestaker? Will she still get divine shield and taunt, since Tirion is not in the deck?
It says in your deck not hand so no
raging bonemare
Some interesting stuff packed in that presentation, thanks J4CKIECHANS'S Dad!, Defeat the Lich King with all 9 classes, from the looks of some of it seems like it will be pretty tough, as Mage set your health to 1 on turn 1? gonna need some extra keyboards for sure. looking forward 2 it!
I hope they'll ban Bonemare from arena because that card is bonkers.
