If you're feeling frisky, you could use this to get a copy of an opponent's minion. Giving an opposing minion divine shield doesn't seem worth it on the surface, but there are some passive effects on minions right now that would be rather beneficial to copy for your own use.
I think about this with Res priest and all the annoying minions it runs, and I just shudder uncontrollably.
Nice wild card for priest. I know many do not like Big priest in wild but I do enjoy it since it's the only deck I care to play when playing wild. Imagine the FireLord having Divine Shield lol.
Why the downvotes lol
A guy can't like a deck?
Of course he can't, this is a hearthstone community. xD
Also play a type of big priest in wild, and yeah it has really lost steam. Don't thin this can save it either, because it's often early game or transform that I feel breaks that deck, and now another class can shuffle half the hand back into your deck, and there are mor transform. So I don't believe it is going to get stronger.
I have mostly 100% winrate against big priest.
People complaining about it are funny, how bad their decks has to be?
Yeah it's strange, since it is mostly only a fun deck these day and not a competitive, but then again I do met a few people who play wild with almost only the classic set, so I guess they are the once who dislike it xD
My version however is done to piss off people xD
I have Blood of The Ancient One, Catrina Muerte and Obsidian Statue.
To create a life-steal wall until the ancient one is summoned who then can one shoot most decks (with support of mass silence).
To survive early game I use Activate the Obelisk to bluff aggressive decks to not attack me to fast (and recover faster late game with obsidian).
And Zerek’s Cloning Gallery sometimes auto complete the combo.
It has around 50% win-rate in rank, so mostly for fun, but many seem to be surprised once it goes through xD
nothing in changed (rather worse) We will continue to see from the corner waiting for the day...
for 3 mana this card gives you a lot its still great for both classes
Can you please stop complaining for Paladins? I'm a Paladin (and Rogue) main and since the release of AoA I've played Paladin no-stop: Libram Paladin, Pure Libram Paladin, HL Paladin, Murloc Paladin. Hell, I've even played Dragon Paladin. I don't think Paladin sucks THAT much as people are speaking, it's not the absolute best but surely is better than Shaman. So please stop ranting about the state of Paladin, because if you really want to play it, you can do it, and also win
Many immature children priest players and no other paladin on this paladin card, because I have buffs on the minions have never worked as galvadon research teaches ... (the other research I don't think is necessary to question how horrible it is, well consider that this card is as it was)
I'm playing this game from beta, this card is horrible for paldin ( will we see the high rank paladin after these cards given?, I am convinced that we will continue to leave the game on the shelves)
Pushing the paladin is very simple, obviously they don't want to, give him back the handbuff or the cards like the pre nerf tinkmaster and it would already be something to start competing ...!
it is no coincidence that in the comments there are only priest cards...
Just insanely good. Spending 3 mana copying minions is generally just good, and there's so many good targets in both Paladin and Priest.
Maybe not the BEST use of this spell, but the first thing that comes to mind is egg priest. Between this and that legendary that kills minions you play to summon 4/4s, and the legendary that summons 1/1s that get friendly deathrattles, something like that could really come together.
I mean besides the eggs which are obvious targets, you probably run at least a few buffs in that deck, which means you run at least one copy of sethek, which is an excellent Gift of Luminance (GoL) target, and you also probably run Dragonmaw Overseer, which is a great target, even on turn 6 playing dragonmaw into this is 7/7 stats with divine shield split among 2 minions that HAVE to be removed before you snowball.
You also likely run teron gorefiend which is a nuts target to hit, and then you've got the things that aren't is awesome to hit but certainly aren't bad, like Dragonmaw Sky Stalker and Bad Luck Albatross. I dunno, seems like it could be fun.
nb4: I'm aware there would only be one ACTUAL egg in that deck, but the premise is the same as any egg deck, tempo out deathrattle minions, make copies and abuse deathrattles.
Deathrattle/Tempo Priest is just a pretty decent deck (at least in theory) and this fits into it perfectly.
I think priest will like making their minions a little more sticky....
So if you play Gift of Luminance on Disciplinarian Gandling and play EVIL Conscripter and the Lackey will you get four Failed Student?
Only the first Gandling will trigger when you play minions. The second won't have any minion left to destroy.
I think you are right, however the card implies that the minion will get destroyed and a 4/4 student will appear. Even if there is no minion left to destroy, the trigger will still mean a 4/4 is created. The text on the card could (but probably won't) be clearer.
both gandling will destroy the same minion so yes 4 student for both EVIL and lackey
