Risky skipper into Barov
It’s one of those weird cards that are so good you wanna kill it the turn you play it.
Super Busted with Warrior class.
Not that good in Paladin though, since Paladins don't have cheap mana ways to kill their own minions.
Warrior combo with Sword and Board is a 4 mana combo for board clear, with Slam - 5 mana cost.
Paladin combo is with Consecration - 7 mana cost for a clear, Lord Barov stays on the Battlefield.
Lord Barov + Whirlwind > prenerf Equality + Consecration (which makes sense since Barov is a legendary)
He does not set his own health to 1, this does not work
The Whirlwind would just kill the other minions... since they're on 1 hp due to Lord Barov's battlecry...
Well, he doesn't need to die because whirlwind will kill everything anyway
Odd Paladin, anyone?
Ofc the deathrattle is a drawback, but 3 mana equality - slam that in to Odd Paladin and call it a day.
Odd Paladin is no threat in Wilde, they also have many 5 mana aoe, but who would ever want to play them in that deck !? XD
Laughs in Odd Warrior and DMH Warrior
For paladin this is just pre nerf Equality on a stick, wich is good but nothing mind blowing. The deathrattle is irrelevant since on the turn you play it you can only trigger it with Hammer of Wrath or Holy Wrath and neither seams like a good play. In most cases you will need a Consecration or a few recriuts to clear the board.
For Warrior there are some more interesting options my favorite being Risky Skipper
It's cheap and may have a lot of value, but a one off board clear that needs to be combined with another card to actually clear the board is not that amazing.
You can play the new 1 mana animated broomstick and trade the minion...
Warrior doesn't deserve it. It has really good stuff already... WTF
Also the Barovs were nobles why does he lookss like a barbarian?
It was just nerfed because shirvalla otk was too strong. But i Agree,i would nerf other card if i want to hit that deck
Paladins only get good legendaries when other classes can also use them :P
still better than shaman...
Cool card. Could have made him more professorial for expansion flavor.
How is this card even a thing? So OP. Guaranteed to be one of the top 3 legend cards of the expansion.
This. It was the worst nerf in the history of Hearthstone. Single handedly destroyed an archetype that was never higher than tier two to begin with.
And I don’t even get why it happened!?! It barely saw play at all! It was all odd and even Pally at the time and Even Pally SOMETIMES used to run one copy.
Or just Sword and Board.
