Justicar says it replaces your starting hero power.

What would happen if you had Steward and Murloc Warleader?

Murloc buffs could be strong enough for this kind of deck to work, and many will test it right off the bat!

It might very well fail miserably though... still remembering the horrors of mrglglglggglgl warlocks with 0-mana soulfire and 4-mana leeroy from late beta, idk if I want aggro murloc-pally to be the new cancer...

Cards that currently get pulled out by Harbinger:

Varian, Deathwing, Frost Giant, Sea Giant, Y'Shaarj, C'Thun, N'zoth. The last old god is probably going to be 10 mana and I reckon there could be a few more 10 mana cards, still not a great card though. On the face of it Y'Shaarj does look like a worst Varian but it is a neutral (that's a big deal) and since it's an old god there may be other cards that specifically synergise with it.

Still all the old Gods have the same problem so far (by coincidence the same problem that made Varian Wrynn basically unplayable), unless the meta changes drastically far too few games are still "open" by the time turn 10 rolls around. Either it is already over or one of the two players is usually in the closing stages.

Amidst the April Fools jokes, we got Firebat's card revealed:

Vilefin Inquisitor

1-mana 1/3
Battlecry: Your hero power becomes 'Summon a 1/1 Murloc.'

Paladins finally get a class-specific 1-drop, look at that.

You got beaten by several hours

That said the more I look at it the more I see it fitting into "Normal" paladin decks as well as murloc ones

It could be a 1-drop you tech in if Murloc decks become a big thing. Or you could do what normal people are going to do, and just use it in Murloc Paladin. It doesn't synergize very well with Anyfin Can Happen though, as in like don't fucking use both of them in the same deck not very well.

What do you mean by normal? Because it's a waste of cardslot (unless you badly need a 1/3 one drop for some reason) if you have zero murlock synergy, unless you happen to run into an actual murlock deck, which buffs your own.

Other than that, it doesn't really matter if you have 1/1 silver hands or murlocks.

The synergy with Anyfin is so bad, that it's probably a good tech card against Anyfin decks. Because it highly decreases the chances of getting game ending damage with it and that leaves them with tons of healing sub par minions an lots of healing and draw but no reliable win condition.

A 1/3 for 1 mana gives some hope that paladin don't get completely screwed in terms of early plays the way they were before GvG. Muster and Minibot are leaving a pretty big hole to fill.

I just hope it summons tiny murlocks in a home-made looking, badly fit paladin/crusader uniform.

On another note, are we happy with the direction Priest is seemingly set in stone by Blizzard? Priest used to be this annoying class, which was too gimmicky to be consistent. Now, it got some helping hand in consistency, while getting even more annoying cards. Playing vs. Entomb Priest got to be the worst experience for me in HS after pre-nerf Grim Patron.

Too bad we can't entomb posts.

Honestly I'm somewhat concerned right now. All the revealed cards for priest are pretty bad and there is no good neutral heal being added to the game and no good taunts either and if you add on the fact they lose all their early game I see it being in a similar spot to Pre GvG Paladin.

Then again Dragon priest is still a thing so they'll always have 1 archetype that is viable I suppose

Or game modes like Wild, am I right?!?!


But then again, aside from Shaman aggro (which loses crackle), do we see any promising aggro decks? Let's assume Leper Gnome is nerfed in some way. Hunters are also losing Quickshot, and so far, we haven't seen them getting any good aggro card. Talking about Paladins losing their early game cards are basically beating a dead horse, and while that divine shield guy looks dope, Priests got a card to easily boardclear 1/1 (or even 2/2, in case of competitive spirit triggering) dudes with divine shield. Druid is losing it's finisher. Zoo is, once again, seems to be weak vs. the SW:H, and losing Nerubian Egg is pretty big.

Dragon Priest is solid, but my problem with playing against that is that it's boring, and in a way, more boring than a control warrior. I was playing some type of midrange pally, so I had like 90% win rate vs. dragon priests, but man, if it wasn't boring as fuck. The same shit every game, almost play by play. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a match vs. Priest, win or lose.
