I personally don’t see Dragon and Secret Paladin in tier 1 because secret Paladin is way too all in without divine favour and Dragon Pally is too slow against Combo decks and gets outvalued by roque

I agree that secrets in Paladin get a decent support this Expansion but secret Paladin looses divine favour so that secret paladin becomes was more of an all in decktype that will have a hard time against any control deck (like warrior) to compete

I would say that Paladin got only shit this expansion so that players who want to play Paladin will have to make up mech / spell Paladin list that come from boomsday / Rastakan. I am really disappointed that Blizzard made this decision since Paladin isn’t in the same spot as druid was in Boomsday…
Vendetta
One might not be able to cast that spell pret turn 5 but considering that it is a 0 mana destroy a medium sized minion its still strong at that point. Will be strong in Standard and broken in wild (with swashburglar)… proably
Nozari
I wouldn’t be sure if that card would see play if it only would heal the player to full life but since this effect is symmetric and it only seem to make sense vs aggro as a 10 mana card this card is just awefull and won’t see the light of the day. Especially paladin who is a class that is great at healing already this sort of card is 100% missmatched. For me it seems obvious that blizzard wants to give paladin all the garbage so that it wont be competetive in the next expansion after being top tier of the last 6 expansions. I mean its somewhat understandable but sucks hard
Lightforged Blessing
This card is an good example of a card that is way specific: lifegain in this form is great versus aggro but only okish vs midrange and completely worthless vs combo/control so that the card in general is not playable or only in very aggressive metas
Commander Rhyssa
Secret Paladin isn’t really a thing in standard and proably wont become a thing even with such a (pretty strange) support card for this decktype. I mean I can’t really imagine that this effect will do much for the user since paladin secrets are pretty situational and do usually not do much better when triggered twice…
Duel!
This card rewards you for playing big minions only in your deck what is really the absolute opposite of what paladin usually does/wants to do. I am very confused to see this card in paladin instead of classes like druid, warrior who can make way better use of that card but as it stands i am absolutely not sold on this concept…
Should be be sheeper imo
