Ebon Dragonsmith + Silver Sword
MM MM MMMMMM Even dragon paladin OOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This card seems alright, but the flavor just isn't there. I could maybe see the idea of a silver sword fitting in the set, but buffing your own guys and having maybe the lamest art of the set has me feeling the same was about this as I do with witching hour. It could be a cool card, but the flavor's a tad bit frustrating.
Malkorok buffs
This card is missing a True Champion to be good... If you know what i mean....
No, we don't know what you mean. Now tell us.
it's not exactly a win more, it's a weapon for starters, the stats aren't bad and the fact that you can " chose" when to proc it is super relevant, on T10 you guy and the weapon, sure, the tempo isn't quite there, but then T11 you stand against darkness twice AND PROC weapon for a massive gain.
doesn't even has to be SAD( and it's getting rotated out ) but things like T10 this plus drygulch, next turn guy plus play the 3 guys plus proc.
At first I asked myself why would you play this over Vinecleaver? But then I realized that they have very similar functions.
Silver Sword is made of silver hence, it kills werewolves. We all know that Worgen are werewolves, so this might be good in the meta.
Vinecleaver is to clear a path in dense jungle. The Witchwood is full of dead plants therefore circulating should be quite easy, unlike Un'goro.
Overall I think both cards have different purpose, one might be catch-up one might be win more. I don't know.
Lovely analysis dude
Up-voted for the RP analysis
i mean they already tried buff paladin in MSOG and it didn't work out that great so idk how this one will go.
Seems slow, but, as everyone is thinking about dragon paladin with this weapon, it has always been a slow deck. So there may be a situation where that archetype could return again (One of my favorites). Hope we get one more good dragon or a dragon support card for paladin. That would be really great.
(WE ARE THE TRUE HORDE!!!)
dudes like buffs
I really love the vibe of paladin but I really hate the brain dead aggro decks so dragon paladin would be a refreshing change of pace and something I would love to see in the standard ladder, especially over the aggro decks.
I dread seeing this weapon with the dragon that lowers weapon cost. turn 4 dragon, turn 5 call to arms, turn 6 this, turn 7 call to arms. i can see the value in a midrange pally deck.
Tirion Fordring is so much better, while being a legendary. (And even he is too slow with Divine Favor.)
Missing the point. Tirion Fordring is long time one of the most powerful legendary in game and you compare it with rare weapon? What the Divine Favor has to do with?
ah I see, you perhaps comparing it in the current meta... Good news is, that the meta ends in 14 days. So will see, how slow the cards are. In a bit slower meta, let say board-based meta, this will have a big value.
So...
Minions = Weapons
Legendaries automatically > Rares
And you play Tirion Fordring in a tempo deck which runs Divine Favor. Hmmm.
Now do all of us a Divine Faor: Go back to rank 20 with your Aggro Pally deck that runs Tirion Fordring, and let the rest of us rate these cards for you.
It is very possible there could be some form of a dragon paladin coming with this. Ebon Dragonsmith, Cathedral Gargoyle, Nightmare Amalgam and this card alone already look like the makings for something decent.
