so I just combo'ed Lord Barov followed by Teron Gorefiend and all my opponent's minions remained even though Barov's deathrattle triggered--only against Teron, ironically.
not a board clear card, but a combo piece for board clear.
very good for warrior, but it's just a pre-nerf equality for Paladin, since Paladin doesn't have 1 hard target removal, other than Hammer of Wrath which see no play ever since the very first expansion.
all in all, this is a worst card than pre-nerf equality because your opponent can just hard remove Lord Barov and clear your board as well, so Paladin will waste 1 more mana and risk board advantage from this card.
if Equality and Libram of Justice does better job than this legendary, does Paladin really need a fifth card in the deck to do exactly the same expected result with worst payoff?
actually the card is good but still not enough for paladin. no win condition and no card draw are the issues. paladin needs something like shirvallah
Amazing card and very well done Trump !
Guys pls explain me why this card should be good in pally?
Its basically there for a combo with consecration (or maybe pyro etc.) and thats just 1 mana cheaper than equality (+3/2 body). But that for a legendary? Paladin seems not to have the tool to make this card die the turn you play him (okay, you can give it rush, but that requires you to have all the cards for the combo).
I think, in pally, this is okay, but not more then that.
You have many options for trades with that because you usually have something on board. You can play it with Pyro and it doesn't have to die instantly. It's just one more way of clearing the board for paladin outside libram of justice which is very much needed
The dream, playing second (obviously heavy dependant on luck in mulligan and draw like Hand of A'dal to get the cards):
Turn 1: Aldor Attendant > 2: Hand of A'dal > 3: Aldor Attendant + Hand of A'dal >
4: Coin + Aldor Truthseeker > 5: Aldor Truthseeker >
6: Libram of Hope (3 mana) + Argent Braggart + Animated Broomstick
8 healing + one 8/8 with divine shield, other probably 8/8, and both with Rush with the Broom.
The chances are low but I know sooner or latter it will happen, at it will be glorious. WELL MET!
Animated Broomstick will be insane battlecry for Shudderwock with jade golems full giant board with rush
Great comment
thank you)
it feels kinda bad to know this is a legendary card that you want to kill right after you play it...
imagine from his view: you are Lord Barov, and the player (who even possiby crafted you) puts you into your deck. Match starts, you get drawn and you are excited to enter the battlefield. You get played, you do your epic intro and are on the battlefield. Then you get a strange feeling... Even though you just entered the board, you get targeted, and its not a buff, BY THE PLAYER WHO JUST PLAYED YOU (haha double entendre)! First you feel shocked, then betrayed, then anger, then sad... And player kills you. While you are dying with all those feelings, you kinda explode and deal 1 to every minion...
THIS is why I read the comments
Hadronox: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
I truly believe that Animated Broomstick will be a staple in mid-range Paladin. We can generate big bodies but most of the time they are defense ones except with Argent Braggart which is an insane enabler to be used for.
I agree and I actually this the Broomstick is going to see a lot of play in Paladin especially but in all classes. It's not OP but almost universally viable
For sure, healing face with Libram of Hope and efficiently trading in its Divine Shield, that is insane!
Pure paladin is best right now, because paladin lacks value cards. With few new ones, crusader and zealot will not be worthy not having pyromancer in your deck, especially if you can use mountseller, teron gorefiend and few new toys from new expansion
