It’s fine.
Unless we get some powerful deathrattle minions this is not worth playing right now.
I was thinking this, but divine shield is sort of anti-deathrattle. I’m struggling to think of the intended target.
Definitely great on convincing infiltrator. Adds to the ress pool for priest and gives a taunt with divine shield that is already a strong removal.
This is an auto add in my Libram Paladin… I think we’re underestimating the power of copying the “add a libram” deathrattle, and how this can turn into up to EIGHT librams of wisdom (put two on one minion and copy it, then put all four on another and copy it). If you get all those, you can use your hero power to make a 2 mana 9/9!!
Imagine this: on turn 9 all you have is air raid and your 8 librams. You put all 4 tokens on the ground, and opponent plays Dragon Queen Alextraza and two free dragons. On your turn, you buff out your first token and take out alextraza, put your líbrame back on the next two tokens to take out the other dragons (up to 9 Health), and then swing 9 damage to face, with your whole 9 mana free to spend.
This basically can create your Liadrin win condition without having to dig for her!
Wow yup duplicating Librams can be scary.
Wait… This is just a better Vivid Nightmares.
This is also really good for All Priests and some Paladins here and there, but this feels more like a priest card to me, since they have cards like Veilweaver.
I think Tempo or Zoo Priest can now officially be potential. I feel like they should have he necessary cards, but I worry it’s going to go as planned, because we have to experiment with it ourselves. Otherwise, just wait for Turn 9 Kartut Defender and annoy the crap out of people with your healing.
Not too sure what Paladin can make use of Gift of Luinance however. The first thing that came to mind for me was Murlocs.
But yeah, 4 Stars. It looks really solid.
This is an evil card all need is a decent target like say a taunt minion and this becomes a part of a stalling toolkit. Pally can get away with this card rather easily due to libram deck since several of those cards get cost reduced.
If only if Shadow Ascendant was still in standard. Sounds really nice to play an ascendant on turn 2 to follow it up with this on 3. You’d basically have two mini-Gruuls with Divine Shield.
The meme combo potential is real with this one. (Oh, hi Mark)
I kinda like how this isn’t that good with deathrattles cause it’s harder to trigger them with the divine shield but I also don’t like the idea of giving Priest yet more ways to clone the Infiltrators etc. Priest is already annoying as hell to play against and now they’re giving it acces to divine shield? Ugh. It’s also pretty sad that Paladin doesn’t really benefit much from this.
The card’s alright, 3 stars.
Cube Priest new tool. Sethekk loves this card.
this + cabal acolyte and steal 2 minions. can’t wait for it
Can’t wait to use this in my dragon priest, excellent spell for Reliquary/Prime or Dragonmaw Sentinel.
This seems like a really good card that could have lots of play in both classes but I’m afraid it cost to much, usually a Divine shield and a 1/1 copy cost about 1 Mana each but it does come in one card which hasn’t been done before so I’m unsure if it’s worth it or not
Just what priest needed…. Well at least there are lovely pally synergies to this too.
At least one copy of this might go into Libram Paladin for Libram of Wisdom.
Ressurect Priest will have fun with this too!
I think it’s overall more a “nice to discover/get random” card due to it’s cost and requirements, but it should have it’s uses, similar to Vivid Nightmares. 3 Stars.
Vivid nightmare power creep anyone?
Vivid nightmare kept the attack of the other minion, so not strictly power creep.
