Now this is imo better than the epic card that gives 5 rando cards. I don't know if no neutral Paladin will work in this new expansion but hopefully in the future.
same as the other one. This is not a realistic way to build your deck and the payoff isn't enough. Not to mention that a 4/2 on turn 4 isn't exactly resilient and won't net you much tempo
I really love the design of this card alongside Lightforged Crusader, quite excited to see how this plays out.
Don't think Paladin is the class to make no neutral decks work, they lack too many tools. But the design is something I really hope they explore more further down the line. Very cool idea, and it will definitely be fun to try and make the no neutral deck work.

An incredible tempo play. Truesilver Champion is already a 4 cost card, and it sees some play, getting a free 4/2 is pretty good value if you ask me. And this also allows you to get 4 copies of truesilver in your deck, which is a lot of face damage.
In a Pure Paladin deck, you'd always run this over Truesilver Champion, but this effect is not powerful enough to convince me to build Pure Paladin. Whether or not that's a strong archetype rests entirely on Lightforged Crusader
I could maybe see this being used in a deck with only a few neutrals, waiting to draw them before playing this. Still seems too restricting though, even if the weapon is pretty nice
much better than the other one since it gives a weapon and has nice stats but I feel like it ultimately won't do much since neutrals are so important. I just don't think this will be that great of a card
Still too much work for the payoff. Worse than the other card because you want to play this early, whereas I see Lightforged Crusader as a value-engine in long games. With Lightforged Zealot you're going to have to play by the (harsh) rules.
This card + Lightforged Crusader are definitely a package deal - if you're doing it, you're going all-in. I can see Paladin being one of the classes that could reasonably win with just class cards, so I won't count it out just yet.

It is so promising in wild tho.
There are tons of options there and I feel like this starts something.
We have new deckbuilding option + new mechanic that fits so well the class thematically. I really liked the mechanic so much.
A new Rare Paladin Minion, Lightforged Zealot, has been revealed!

I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
i don't understand this concept of not neutrals in deck... hope it's not a new blizzard class identity...

Pure Pally seems weak, but also quite interesting!

I don't think its as powerful as the other one, but if you are making that deck this is basically a must have too.

Carrion, my wayward grub.
good value but i dont think this and the other one can carry a whole new archetype
The other one im unsure about but this one is good enough to play. Now only question is if you can make a good deck without any neutrals.

Not as exciting as Lightforged Crusader, but the effect is still nice.
More dragons? Yes please!

Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds

The upside on these 2 cards is outstanding. Is it worth building around? That is still to be seen. Hopefully, because that will be a lot of fun.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
Such an interesting archetype. I like the flavour though, and am looking forward to decks that might come from this.
A deck that not use neutral cards? haha good one blizzard, don't will see play. (but if pure pally works this is a 4/5)
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
