Pure paladin getting support? And it's a bigger Zilliax?
There's a few things I really like and really hate about this card.
The good stuff:
- It's got a true legendary feel to it. It's a cool effect and a cool character. Also, it should be pretty strong.
- Recurring archetype for paladin. The identity crisis for paladin has been real. This year has been pretty damn good in giving paladin a clear direction, the decks have been both powerful and flavorful.
- Control aspect. I like control more than I like aggro, so this card would fit my style of deck pretty good.
The bad stuff:
- Obviously, if bomb warrior is still as strong as it is now, this card will lose a lot of its power. Lightforged Crusader is at least a 7-7 for 7, this card would be a 7-5 for 8 and would therefore be completely unplayable when your deck is polluted.
- The other 2 pay-off cards for pure paladin will rotate next expansion. So having to craft this card for a deck that will be around for a maximum of 4 months seems to not be worth it (I'm still going to craft it day 1). Hopefully there will be more pure cards in this expansion or the next one. Because I don't see why you would make a Pure Pally deck, just to run this 1 card.
Anyway, very cool card and I'm pretty happy with it! I play almost exclusively paladin, so crafting this is a no-brainer.
Unity, Precision, Purity
No. No there isn’t. Even double checked the wowpedia to be sure my memory wasn’t off. The OP is right. This makes absolutely No sense. You may as well throw in Lothar or Uther too. Yrel existed in AU draenor only. Last we saw of her she went insane with the light and turned against the orcs for not converting.
"People figured out that Pure Paladin wasn't good enough, so shove this card in"
Not exactly sure what Yrel has to do with the Darkmoon Fair but a welcome addition none the less. Hope we get a hero portrait of her one day tbh
They don't need to follow the theme 100%
Flavor based on her post-WoD lore.
Welp, time to run Albatross again
Or bomb Warrior.
Wow, an actually cool Paladin legendary? You sure this isn't secretely a Murloc or something?
I really wish it were. Mrggl.
This and the priest legendary will be my first crafts of the expansion for sure really like this card this could possibly make pure pally a deck
As if it wasn't already a deck...
Honestly the fact that Yrel is here makes Zero sense. Card is cool, I miss Ziliax, but pulling Yrel out of nowhere doesn't mesh well with me. Sure, HS expansions sometimes just pull things out of nowhere, like in GvG th e Legendary cast was a random mix. But recent expansions had a central theme that all card corresponded to. Unless this expac has some single player content that explains why Yrel, a denizen of an alternate reality Draenor who has never before set foot upon Azeroth decided to visit the darkmoon faire, then I will be satisfied. But to me this just seems like a case of weirdly handling a lore character. Again, cool card that I look forward to playing, but no something I'd expect to play from the darkmoon faire xpac. Honestly, they could have had a cool scarlet crusader presence instead, as the Darkmoon faire is home to the only place in Wow where you can buy scarlet crusade armor from a scarlet quartermaster. Combining the old gods madness with their zeal would fit perfectly thematically for me.
What is wrong with you? Who cares ffs
You do realize that there's a Yrel in the main reality too right?
It’s sad you’re downvoted so much. You’re right. This makes zero sense. And you’re being mocked because you care about the lore and story continuity. It’s like damn we don’t mind having things like lightlord ragnaros but Yrel is on alternate draenor only. But now she shows up randomly for the darkmoon faire? That’s weird.
Honestly it doesn't matter I prefer her over some wacky carnival game legendary
A big part of the Hearthstone community doesn't even play WoW.
What is your opinion about Mechathun? What about Shadowreaper Anduin? that is considered a very pure character in WoW that will always be with the light. Why Tyrannde is a priest skin? Ragnaros the lightlord?? "Team of evil"?
