Seal of Blood

Ok, this card is very good. And the reason is the 3 mana 3/1 which can draw this and make it cost 0 mana: a 3 mana 6/4 with divine shield on turn 3 is something to be reckoned with. If an hyper aggro paladin deck will come out of this expansion, this would surely be played in it, and it also interact well with the new 3/2 legendary that, while seemingly very weak, may pop up in some decks every once in a while. With Steed, this and BoK, Paladin has a tremendously powerful curve from turn 1 to turn 4 which can create a huge minion in the process: a trogg (1/2) becomes a 2/3 on turn 2, which then becomes a 5/6 on 3 and a 9/10 on 4 (2+5+9=16 dmg by turn 4 by that minion alone). And mind you that it’s not that hard to achieve: you have the 3 mana 3/1 which draws a spell, you have two divine shields that protect the minion you’re buffing, and you got an enemy hero which likely has Renathal and therefore less consistency to remove your minions. However, what do you do afterwards? I don’t think that there are enough aggro paladin cards to make an entire 30 cards deck: you need to put some mechanic as the backbone of the archetype. It might be secrets, it might be dudes, it might be something else, but you can’t rely on this lucky yet achievable curve to win you the game everytime. In modern day hearthstone, you need more steam and damage than that. I don’t think paladin has it yet, but it doesn’t mean that this card won’t see play in any other deck. I expect it to be considered for midrange decks as well: even though the 3 dmg face is harsh, it’s still an incredible turn 3 play if you got good 2 drops or that 3 mana 3/1 which draws it. I think that this card will definitely find a place in the metà eventually.
