This card is great. You want multiple low cost minions to play in conjunction with grimy goons effects, and this is one that keeps you from running low on cards.
It seems Blizzard is pushing for hobgobln paladin to be a thing.
I love the card, it seems really fun to play, especially with the new aggro Paladin stuff that’s being pushed in this set so far. But it’s not good enough to be an Epic. Maybe I’m wrong and Blizzard playtested it and it’s the best card in the set or something, but it seems to me like it’d be a waste of dust if you’re on the casual side of the game and don’t have a large amount of it.
… aaand then they added a billion cards that buff minions in your hand. Those + small time recruits make this a very solid 1-drop. 1 mana draw a card is strong.
Yes it seems the people rating this card so poorly are overlooking the very deck it would be played in. With all of the buff cards for paladin this is pretty insane.
you are never going to play this on turn 1, you need to buff it in your hand in order to get the proper value.
unless you do something like turn 1 this and turn 2 that wolf who gives +1 attack to adjacent minions.
this is why it is getting unrated, it is like a turn 3-4 drop with (maybe) +2+2 buff.
Rarity has nothing to do with a card beeing good. Think of Lorewalker Cho. Rarity is about balance in arena. Tech Cards are often epics. This is just a bad card in arena because it´s so hard to pull off. That´s why it´s an epic.
