    It doesn’t look like a strong legendary to me. Not a lot of minions have less than 3 attack, and even if you do have the perfect play to pair it with, you just gain some minions with Rush and divine shield, nothing that protects her from being removed the turn later. If this card gave taunts instead of rush, then it would be far more powerful: but unfortunately, that’s not the case. And sure, it’s meant to be played with buff cards and handbuffs, but a card which only relies on other cards to be good better have an amazing effect, and this just doesn’t. You not only have to buff this card with something, you also need something to play afterwards so that you activate the effect; and mind you, if it’s something you handbuffed as well because it was in your hand with her, it might still not work because if it has the same amount of buffs and it didn’t have a lower attack than 3, then it’s still completely useless. I would much rather have something which gives me good stats or instant tempo, not some conditional legendary which works only in very specific comfort situations. I think that this might be the next Paladin legendary which interact with buff spells and that will also never find play.
    And what if you buff it with the new 3 mana +3/+3 card or with BoK? It also sucks, because you either play those buffs in the same turn, making it a late game play for an effect which is only relevant in the early to mid game, or you have to rely on this surviving a turn, which is incredibly unlikely. Not only the opponent will do whatever they can to remove this, but it’s not like it has a lot of health anyways: 2 health for turn 2 is easy to remove, it can be dealt with by an empowered mage hp, by any early game warlock removal, and I could go on. If it was a 1 drop, perhaps a 2/2 or something like that, at least you could defend it with Sacred Steed on turn 2, like you do with Trogg, but this isn’t the case, and turn 2 offers the opponent a ton of ways to deal with a 3/2, and at that point you might as well play the 2 mana 3/2 raptor from the basic set. At least, that is a beast.

    This legendary is a huge piece of trash!! Are they printing garbage-type legendary cards so they don’t harm the new class??

      This card is so bad that it will be buffed in the future! This effect is meaningless, even if this card has 10 on attack it’s still garbage!
