Tenwu of the Red Smoke
It’s like an extra copy of shadow-step, the 3/2 body is nice advantage – you can shadow-step it.
I think Shadow step is better in early game, the cost (1) effect is stronger on a big cost minions but not so important since you already have alot of mana in the late game so the discount is not that beneficial in terms of tempo. but provides more combo potential (but the discount is for the current turn)
So lets look on solid scenario:
Turn 5 play Jandice Barov + shadowstep.
Turn 6 you can play 2 X Jandice. (but you can do the same with shadow-step.)
Bladed Lady
You can Cut Adept, wand maker or consume magic
its always depends on meta, if meta is aggro to mid-range this card is great (since its great tempo, you remove something good immediately from opponent board, keeps a threat and all for just 1 mana)
If meta is control this card is not good and Adept is better (because Adept provides burst damage and this provides tempo which not required vs control).
Bladed Lady
6/6 Rush (Demon) for 1 mana? seems broken.
worth keep all copies to maximize dust refund after potential nerf..
Enrage Tempo Warrior - #1 Legend (Gaby) - Scholomance
Sometimes they play different decks and hit #1 with a specific deck but most games were with different decks. Also Gaby is a player which favors warrior so he plays this “non-stop”

I always DE golden Legendary unless 2 exceptions:
– If i expect that there is some chance of a future nerf to this legendary card
– If I use this card frequently (if it’s a “meta” legendary)
18.0.2 Balance Update - Nerfs to Kael'thas and Mindrender Illucia, Many Battlegrounds Changes (Megasaur & Cannon Removed) - OUT NOW!
agree. this is also indirect but explicit nerf to the ten mana epic spell with no dust refund
Wave of Apathy
Good for priest because of the obvious synergy of “Cabal” mechanic, In Paladin not good.
Plagiarize
I think Secrets are just not good enough against the power level of this expansion
Guardian Animals
Looks pretty strong on the reveal stream with the new broken 5 cost beasts.
Guardian Animals
2 stars?
This can be good, for example if you summon 2 Albatros with rush you can remove a big minion and shuffle 4 tokens into opponent deck immediately, also mana-sabers with rush is not bad.
this also cycles 2 cards from deck which is good for highlander and good in general for deck consistency.
if it could summon 2 Savanna Highmanes with rush is was a 5 stars card..
High Abbess Alura
this card is great and underrated
you can cheat mana and cast high value spell like tip the scales
Secret Passage
– Warlock and Solarium discard has some synergy cards that benefit of the discard effect
– also, When you play this you immediately give up (for this turn) on whats in your hand . this is different from Solarium where you can combine and choose what to play from both the “before hand” and the temporary hand.
Keymaster Alabaster
i think this a meme and will not see meta play. might be a tech in a slow meta or maybe in ramp druid
Very good! nice disruption,
cheap pseudo counter spell for paladin .
