It won't see any competitive play, it will not be a "thing" in Arena, I don't understand the hype.
I think it will see play. The fact that it's a twinspell makes it much more useful than it would have been otherwise.
It's not the best card in the set to be sure, but it's very solid, very versatile and very cheap. I'm almost sure it'll see some constructed play - if paladin as a class sees play that is.
compare it to other cards that heal: 2 mana heal 6? 2 mana heal 4 and draw? both are on a similar level to this i'd say. If you put this on something that has aoe it gets even better.
I don't think it is hopeless.
reveal vid feels like anime op
Lynessa time in wild.
YES! YES! YES! I've been wanting a card with an effect like this since Frozen Throne and always thought "they're never gonna print something like this and if they do, it's gonna be for Warlock, you know vampirism and stuff" and now they're putting it on a fucking 2 mana spell AND giving it Twinspell AND making it common AND giving it to Paladin! Finally something to help Paladin survive the early game after the nerfs to Equality!! :D
Stuff like this is what makes HS fun to me. I can't stop imagining how many different decks of mine I will update with this card and how many minions I'm gonna try out with this spell. Stuff like Explosive Sheep with Lifesteal or maybe give it to Ragnaros the Firelord, making him Ragnaros the Fire- AND Lightlord. Live and die INSECT! XD
Such a fun looking card! :D
From your comment I get you play wild. If you've been looking for this card after going through over 1,000 wild cards, I don't know what to say.
On the standard side, it might actually work with Wild Pyromancer that has actually been run in every control Paladin ever.
I don't get what your point's supposed to be? This is a completely unique card unlike any other in Wild and yes it is one of many that I've been hoping for (for almost 2 years now) and I'm super glad about that.
It's a super fun card that opens up a lot of possibilities and interactions to try out because it's so easily applicable to a vast amount of completely different minions. ^^
The thing I definitely enjoy the most is trying out lots of different deck ideas but also going back and trying to make my old decks better with the new cards. With the few cards released at this point, I already feel way more inspired than with all of the Rastakhan cards. Last time I was this excited was about Boomsday. Back then I had fun for months with my decks. ^^
My only point is, judging a card by its applicability in wild (even Blizzard themselves don't care about it, you only have to see the cry for Barnes to be nerfed that's been going on for years to realize) is highly skewed and like you said, it's not like there aren't A LOT of actually relevant applications in standard, it's just you mentioned none of them and I felt your comment was lacking, so I replied.
There was no offence meant.
That was probably just a coincidence that I only mentioned Wild cards. I mean there are way more than Standard cards so if I pick the first things that come to my mind chances are it's gonna be a Wild card. ^^ (but you are correct I only play Wild ;) )
And sure, Lightforged Blessing is gonna be pretty cool with Wild Pyromancer as well. :)
Don't sweat it, no offence taken as well none meant by myself. ^^ (although sometimes that is certainly difficult to gauge on the internet XD )
i think this card is bad . We have zilliax, shirvallah. Paladin don t need this garbage
Would be pretty strong without the twinspell and is even better with it.
The question is mostly whether Paladin will need this much healing given that Shirvallah, Kangor and Flash of Light exist. It is pretty fantastic with Prelate though.
Well of course, Im not letting my cards go to waste, Im going to have fun with my meme decks in wild instead of netdecks in standard
I think this can be very good. This would go into control decks, which don't care as much for mana cost as aggro or mid-range. With this in your deck, all your high-attack minions have pseudo-taunt, since an opponent that leaves them on the board to push face damage instead can get punished hard.
good
Undatakah + Silverhand Vangurd and Immortal Prelate, taunt up Undatakah. Infinite taunt that can heal you to full health.
I love Paladin now.
In wild.
Wild Pyro + Lightforged Blessing = Spirit Lash
a spirit lash that can easily go off multiple times in a turn with other cheap spells, especially if one buffs or heals the pyro. basically a reno effect.
Only it requires double the mana and a combination of 2 cards.
