But you need other cards in case you draw Tirion Fordring before the Corpsetakers. :)
ugh this even synergizes well with Rallying Blade because it's a cheap divine shield and all paladins are running it these days
All paladins are using Rallying Blade? I haven't seen one run competitively since before Un'Goro... But that might just be me. Although I will say that I don't play wild as much, so that might be what you are referring to.
I don't play normal mode but ofcouse in arena you would pick it since it a weapon
so now with a common 1 cost the weapon is even better
yes every midrange paladin on the ladder is running it because it's a cheaper way to control the board before T4
I respectfully disagree- you are probably running into a lot of Aggro Paladin. Midrange Paladin does not run this card, since many successful lists include more healing than Aggro and can do a decent enough job managing the board with their early game minions. Since Aggro pally is becoming more popular than Midrange (according to hearthstone meta stats), I can see how you would think that every Paladin list runs Rallying Blade. Either way, Righteous Defender will be ridiculous with the all the possible synergies involved. I might have to start playing a more aggressive Paladin list.
Should be epic
It's good, but it's also bad?
Watch Stonehill pull this more than Tirion.
hindsight is 20/20, this could also replace a 4 mana 1/7 with taunt or a 6 mana 6/5 and geting a cheap taunt like this that is really sticky could save you against pirate warrior
geting tirion against pirates is terrible
I hate paladin x 20
So Small-Time Recruits now adds 3 divine shield minions to your hand, and one or two of them have taunt?
As if most 1-drops in the game weren't broken enough...
They promised to show all other DK hero-cards this week. When will be stream?
Annoy-o-us Defender
I'd call it Annoy-o-Squire! Since its Argent Squire with taunt
Very nice card !
It's basically a better Annoy-o-Tron, and that card saw a fair amount of play. Divine shield + taunt on a super low cost minion is incredibly frustrating to deal with. The reduced health doesn't mean much in this case because it's the divine shield that's the challenge to get through. Edit: it's also a better version of Argent Squire, which see's play to this day.
they try so hard to make control warrior good.
it will as likely see play in murlocs as a way to hide warleader and protect it from classes that don't have direct removal
