    Didn’t Druid have a version of this that could only be cast on Beasts in the Whispers of the Old Gods set? Given that the Druid card saw play, I think this will be pretty good. Also, it seems great when paired with liadri

    That's a pretty neat draw spell, which will be nice since Paladin is losing Crystology

    You can cast Mark of Y'Shaarj on anything, it's just that you need to pick a Beast if you want to draw the card. Otherwise Yes, they are very similar.

    Solid card, nothing to complain about here. The only problem I see is that Paladin (so far) doesn't have a 1/3 1-drop left in Standard, meaning this will be much slower (unless you get a Brazen Zealot to stick)

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Nice one. Cycle and buff for cheap cost - what more do you want. Good for early, good for late game as well.

    Altered Version of Flash of Light. Seems good enough to replace it.

    This looks fine, similar to Loot Hoarder imo.

    This card looks insane, half a blessing of kings without a card cost. auto include 2 of those in every paladin deck until rotation.

    * except if you are playing highlander then it's a 1 of.. but you are sad about it.

    Its very good, but let's be honest, its not good because it gives a +2+2 buff, its good because it draws, and draw is the one thing that paladin will be lacking in the next expansion (Crystology rotates). The buff is merely a bonus, and a decent bonus at that, and makes nearly all 1 drop on turn 1 very threatening.

    I can see this competing for a space with Blessing of Wisdom. But its likely hand of [Hearthstone Card (a'dal) Not Found] wins out. For Blessing of Wisdom to get the push, it needs to at least draw two cards, which it rarely ever does.

    Card draw is always good. This card can be used in both an aggressive deck to buff small minions, or in a comno deck that wants to cycle through the deck as fast as possible - but with Shirvallah, the Tiger leaving standard, Paladin loses it's only combo deck.

    Mini Blessing of Kings that's also card draw. Amazing card!

    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.

    Nothing exciting here, but just a solid, useful card. I expect we'll see it a lot.

    Pretty much. They nerfed Power Word: Shield cause it just made every Priest deck to have 28 cards. This card will do that for Paladin.

    Reaaaaally good card. Buffing a minion early game and drawing a card. What else can a paladin ask for?

    Amazing card. Will see play in any paladin deck that likes having minions.

    card draw with buff seems balanced. Will probably be good with Lady Liadrin deck which will let you buff minion and cycle your deck.

    Paladin gets another 2 mana cycling card. This one looks like it will play well, probably replaces flash of light in most cases.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    I really like this card. It is small, simple, not too powerful, but good enough. If you want buffs, then this is good. If you want to cycle through your deck, then this is good. Or if you just happen to be playing a lot of minions in your deck then you could also play this and get away with it.

    This is better than Mark of Y'sharaj since it draws a card regardless. 

    and you're right, with Liadrin you'll get another copy or two

    I reminds me of Potion of Heroism in a way, but this seems a bit better because of the attack buff. I expect this to play in most agressive paladin decks.

    Nice draw and helps you stick on the board, altogether a decent card I’d say

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Strong buff card by itself, and the extra draw makes it very good indeed.

    Insanely busted. Yet, much weaker when compared to Crystology as a draw engine. Then again, Crystology is arguably one of the best cards on the entire game.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    This is pretty good. The buff is okay on it’s own, but the card draw is better.
