Cards like these also shows how big the powercreep is.
they have to stop listening to babies cry
Except that's the thing. No one was crying about Equality. The nerf came out of nowhere for no reason. Paladin wasn't dominating with the card at the time. There was no reason to touch the card. It utterly destroyed all attempts to make control Paladins from then forth.
And they didn't nerf it to 3 because "Then Odd Paladin is overpowered" - which just showed how utterly idiotic their toxic even/odd deck types had become to their design space. They eventually were forced to admit it was bad for the game, but forgot to unnerf this card when they did.
but people were crying about it at that time because it made SHirvalah otk almost unstoppable, the reason they couldnt mak eequality into a 3drop is because Baku was still in standard at that time, i think this card is a fair compromise, it's powerful and odd pala can use it but only once.
But Baku was the problem, NOT equality. Blizzard eventually had to admit their even/odd idiocy was ruining the game, but didn't undo their poorly thought out nerfs they had cobbled together in the mean time. Would a 3 mana equality be broken in wild right now? Not in the slightest. I haven't even seen an odd Paladin deck since they nerfed Level Up, and Wild still has Muster for Battle at 3 and Quartermaster at 5! "But Odd Paladin" has NEVER been an acceptable rationale to crippling this card because Odd was toxic to the game outside of this and that was remedied.
There is a direct correlation to the uselessness of Paladin and this nerf. The ONLY viable Paladin decks for the last year have been hyper aggro murloc decks. The reason not a single control deck is in sight is due to this. Holy Wrath Paladin was never consistently good, it was an off-meta counter to other control decks used primarily in tournaments.
@infirc They had Shrink Ray but nobody plays aoe in aggro deck, all this makes no sense!
Being 3 mana instead of 4 makes you think, should they unnerf equality?
This card is just SUPER good.
It's actually (3) mana card. Sorry for any inconvenience.
You gucci, shit happens. I LOVE IT!
should be 3 mana or 4 mana 3:4
Wow, the speed to post it outweighted seeing the full video, the card is actually 3 mana.
Love it! Even tho its a small effect, Paladin really needed another equality like play. Now Silver Hand Recruits are a bit more dangerous s to leave alive.
4/5
There's an interesting double-edge with Silver Hand Recruit. Barov is great to play with SHR on board... but once Barov is down, developing more SHR is kinda bad, since your opponent can clear him and all new recruits with him.
Of course, Warrior is one of the classes which most enjoys a self-Whirlwind now and again, and will probably find it quite safe to develop with Barov on board.
Really cool design here.
Battlecry: Clean
Deathrattle: the board.
This product cleared the 99.99% of the board
The art of this card is awesome
0/5
It's very strong card, but because it's One of (Warriors nor Palladin have no way of generating additional copies), I think it will be fine.
Uh, yeah, Warrior has 2 brawls and this now. It's bordering on as much mass removal as Priest. Excellent card.
Getting Barov off of Lightforged Crusader in Pure Paladin will be quite good too.
