Interesting idea for a card. It draws two specific things so it's a good filter. Quite tricky finding a good use for its effect but maybe this could work well by swapping the cost of secrets (which always cost 1) with those of large and threatening minions such as The Lich King and Ysera. Actually, now that i think about it, they did release some dragon synergy for Paladin in Witchwood (Cathedral Gargoyle). Maybe it is time for Dragon Paladin to show how effective it could be as a deck.
One idea I had for this & though I'm loath to suggest it I felt I might as well. The idea is you play an aggressive aggro paladin. The cost of the minion being swapped doesn't matter so much as this late in such a decks game run the minion will likely have trash/low level stats. But if the top end spell is say dinosize or avenging wrath to help cheaply push for lethal, that could work out. Same potentially for lay on hands, as form of hand reload but I still expect such a deck to struggle against the current meta so don't take this as a recommendation. Damn someone got my idea posted just before me.
Aggro Pala, Dino Size discounted to 1 or 2, play it on Paragon of Light for defense and healing for defense (if it's not silenced or destroyed) or better yet, maybe as a finisher on Chillblade Champion.
Kinda rather not have a 6~8 mana Equality stuck in my hand. So maybe you'd play this where it doesn't matter what you draw, you could play both? Meaning aggro? But hard to see how aggro fits this into a deck when DF exists...
You can run shrink ray
This is one of those cards that doesn't fit anywhere, but could potentially be the source of something new, if you were smart with it. It's not quite on the level of Reno or Keleseth. I'd say it's something more like the Molten Giant/Holy Wrath.
Speaking of which, with giants, this card would be an interesting combination of risk and reward, since you might get a 4-mana 8/8, but at the price of an utterly unplayable card in your hand.
Draw 2 is worth about 3 mana being arcane intellect. I dont think the extra mana swap is worth 1 mana and could sometimes be a negative. But who knows paladin has very little good draw cards this might just make it into a control / midrange deck.
And quit trying to make mechathun work, there are so much more broken things than a horribly inconsistant combo deck.
It's not just draw 2 cards, it's draw a spell and a minion. It's worth more than 3 mana. 3 mana for two cards, 1 mana for the specificity, and epic rarity for the cost swap.
4 mana draws 2 cards, seems very good.
Dark Side of the Boom
will def see play, I think pally just might be the deck to pull off mechathuun since it has the healing to stall all game, it has the board wipe with mechathuun to pull this off and you just play hemet to blow up your deck. i think i just might play pally this xpac to experiment with combo.
This is interesting design.
Wisp value
I like this, I see both the potential of some cheap spells in a midrange style paladin and cheap minions in a more controlling one. I think it may not see much play to start, but at some point it will be good enough in something, just because the card has a decent and unique effect. Maybe you just run it in a deck because it draws two and you can get slight benefit out of cost switching, like on a turn where you would be tight on mana you use the one that gets made cheaper and on a turn where you were pretty much gonna do nothing anyway you use the one made more expensive. That is more likely in a control paladin than midrange to happen, but you could be partway between, that has been pretty popular for a while to have fast control or slow midrange.
Maybe Skulking Geist? Probably not but it's worth considering.
One-cost Mecha’thun, here I come!
But then how do you get rid of that 10 mana secret you have now?
you don't... It's like brighteyed scoutish without the body.
Then how do you use Mecha’thun?
Skulking Geist will remove THE 10 COST SECRET. Because the original cost is 1
