    this doesn't look severely overstatted at all, can't wait to have aggro warrior rush me down with minions i can't possibly get rid off

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    without the damaged clause this effect costs 3 mana in a wild card , warrior can easily have damaged minions 3/5 for me might be good or might be too hard to play.

    It's good, but it's remarkably hard to control a damaged minion in the early turns of the game when you're up against a control deck.

    Very matchup dependant, but probably slots into at least one deck. Not sure if that deck is pirate warrior, but it's worth trying.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    Trade, play this on a minion. Welcome to arena.

     

    This won't be annoying to deal with at all.

    Compares pretty well to Rampage since you might be able to get more that 3 health of divine shield in a trade.  That said, it anti-synergizes with Risky Skipper and might not see play in damage Warrior for that reason.  In Paladin it's a bit harder to get use in general since there are no easy ways of damaging your own minions, but it could find a home in a buff archetype.

    I don't think paladin will play this nearly as much as warrior because of the damage clause. But this will be a very powerful card in aggro warrior. Imagine giving your Frothing Berserker Divine Shield. This card is two 1-cost cards meshed into a single 1-cost card that has synergy with itself, that is just too much value for the card not to be played.

    Warrior: Amazing card for an already good deck. Will see a lot ofplay. Also giving a minion divine shield really helps it stick around longer, and it's a cheap enabler for Bloodsworn Mercenary.

    Paladin: Okay soo this is kinda awkward. The best synergy i can think of right now is giving this to Turalyon, the Tenured to make it a bigger threat. Oh and in wild it's pretty good on Immortal Prelate. So i guess it will see play in Pure/control Paladin in standard, and Buff/quest Paladin in wild?

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Seems really good, is a strong buff for aggro warrior since they end up with a big early minion that is hard to remove. Smork all the way.

    Really strong buff card. It's better in Warrior since they can easily damage their minions on a whim and they take advantage of them doing so already.

    In Paladin, it's harder to use since the damaged minion will most likely need to survive a round of combat first (meaning you'll typically need to wait a turn after playing a minion for you to be able to actually use it). In Arena though, it'll be really good for them.

    Its Bloodsworn Mercenary fodder. Otherwise its just competition to Rampage, perhaps a better card.

    Nearly useless in paladin, but can be useful in warrior since Inner Rage is still 0 mana.

    So, we will live in a time where warriors can divine shield and extra buff their already buffed with rampage damaged minions. What a time to be alive...

    What an interesting blend of Paladin and Warrior themes. I can see this being pretty useful at only 1 mana.

    Paladin's spell Hand of Protection costs 1 mana to give a minion Divine Shield.

    Warriors spell Rampage gives a damaged minion +3/+3 in stats for 2 mana.

    So giving a damaged minion extra attack AND divine shield should be at least 2 mana, but here it's only 1, making it a very cost effective spell.

    Both classes are known for running big minions with high health and taunts that take abuse from their opponents. I can see this spell being used on a taunt minion that's used to clear a weak minion on the opponents side of the field, and then applying this buff on it, making it more durable and making it more likely to destroy any enemy minion that might try to trade into it.

    As mentioned this spell is very cheap and flexible, and can be used by both Paladins and Warriors to cheaply activate spell burst effects on their turns.

    Effect is somewhat on par with Rampage, but this costs 1 less. Anti-synergy with skipper though. It should see play.

    Oh, it's also a paladin card? Didn't notice.

    I don't understand why Blizzard give card like this to the Warior. This is too much...for just 1 mana. I predict a small nerf

    A cheaper Rampage for Warrior, nuff said for them. For Paladin, having a damaged minion is a lot harder than for Warrior, so placing this buff on a minion that can attack isn't as likely as a scenario. Overall, this is really more of a Warrior card to fit into already existing Warrior archetypes than a new inclusion for Paladin.

    Combine with Inner Rage Card Image for cash and prizes. Use on Risky Skipper Card Image or Armorsmith Card Image for 6 damage and protection on Turn 2.

    That seems like an annoying card to deal with. Risky skipper makes this very easy to activate.

    The question is is how paladins are going to use this and i doubt they will since they already have alot of divine shield minions and if they want to give cheap attack to minions they can just run Blessing of Might

    On one hand, divine shield on a damaged minion makes it more resilient, but on the other hand, rogue now has Execute equivalent too

    Definitely more of a warrior card than a paladin one, but there is potentially good swings that both classes can utilise.

    I'm a much bigger fan of this card over Rampage. The only time I'd prioritize health over a divine shield is against a class with a ping or a class which floods the board, and if your playing warrior you shouldn't have to worry about the latter due to Risky Skipper keeping the board nice and clean.. For paladin this feels a bit awkward but it's still a decent buff spell, not sure if it'll see any play for them though.

    Instead of 3 health you get a divine shield for 1 mana, looks amazing for otk grom decks

    This is a better Rampage for Egg Warrior, which is arguably the strongest deck in the game right now. If that deck survives, this slots right into it.

    I think this improves the viability of any higher health minion in both Paladin and Warrior aggressive decks. I'm especially interested to see if any existing lists shuffle some minions around to make room for ones which can better take advantage of this effect - though honestly, given there are existing Warrior decks that focus on self-damage I don't know that they'll need to change much.

    As many have mentioned, this is arguably just better than Rampage.

    I expect this to see play until it's nerfed, and hopefully that comes soon before the 20+ charge damage combos become the best meta deck.

    I think that pally will not use It a lot, but warrior can abuse.

     

    Enraged minions with divine shield can be really OP.

    Seems alright, though a bit awkward to play. Both of Pally’s dual class legendaries don’t synergize with this though, and the same with Warrior’s

    Looks excellent for both classes! Divine Shield is a powerful defensive effect, coupled with the Attack buff it's fantastic, especially at 1 mana. I don't usually play Warrior though, so I'm going to hate running into this card XD

    Sure, this could work well with warrior damage synergy, but I'm just thinking about how it can give a minion at 1 health a quick breather and last stand before it goes down.
