I think this is pretty good overall, but not amazing. 6 drops can be really hit or miss. Extending it with Cardboard Golem will be worthwhile.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
This is good enough but I hate Auras as a style of play so I hope this does not see play.
If it was a little bit more or less mana I would be more scared but 6 is a point with lots of unit variety
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
This is the only Aura that can not just support, but actually build a board. And not even a small one at that. I can see this one grinding out control enemies who can't afford to remove the big minion every turn.
The fact that you can now double-up on Auras in the battlefield could allow you to churn out a bunch of stuff much faster - you don't have to wait six turns or whatever for the full value to have come into fruition. Playing an Aura, waiting it out, then playing the other copy took an incredibly long time, so maybe cheating both of these out is a line worth exploring?
This is the Aura that would most benefit from some variety of cost reduction, like from Holy Cowboy, because otherwise that's a lot of random for a bit too much Mana and most 6-Drops in Standard aren't the kind of minions that you want to summon randomly (or at the end of your turn).
I have spoken.
It's not giga strong but since we're now able to stack auras and extend their durability it might become scary at some point. Removing 6 drops on 3 or 4 consecutive turns in addition to what the Paladin is doing anyway is no small task.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Slightly slow to really get going, but in a grindy Paladin deck, it's going to carry pretty hard. Paladin probably has the Standard tools to be able to use it in the long-game. Cardboard Golem of course works wonderfully with it too.
Strong aura for spam pally. Very good in arena also
Fantastic with Cardboard Golem.
Very strong, will be oppressive af facing it in Arena
Easy in top 10 Pally cards this rotation, even top 5 honestly
Yeah, the 6 costs are gonna be random, but you're getting one each turn which gives you time to build combo.
I can't see this NOT ruining someone's day, especially with Oger now featured in Core Set.
Bolderfist is a wrecking ball!
Hard to tell when dealing with random effects, but this one might have potential.
Well, no Battlecries, but should still be good when it summons a 6-Cost minion for five turns.
Honestly really good at maintaining the pressure/presenting the threat of buffing a dude. Even there are quite a few duds (Origami Dragon comes to mind), just having an extra dude on board when people are trying to deny Shroomcavate + Buff lethals can make the difference.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
