Paladin still lacks a way to make those tokens scary. They may be sticky but that’s not relevant if you just get smorced down, or the opponent plays a single medium bodied taunt.
Unless paladin gets a legitimate board buff this isn’t looking very great.
It is indeed powerful. However, 5 mana is very slow for that kind of aggro deck.
Usually at 5 mana you’re trying to seal the deal and would’ve played most of your dude cards already, such as tour guide and muster.
You can draw it late and that would be bad but you could also play poltkelt and guarantee it early if the rest of the curve allows for it.
You need to summon quiet a few dudes for this to be worth it though and it does come kinda late. Probably not as strong in standard as people think it is.
odd pally doesnt need this card, the 3 mana chick is better
if it were for the rest of the game dudes have +3 attack that would be better.
Worst case scenario it’s still a Hero Power upgrade. Not as good as having 2 Silver Hands and it’s not good enough for a deck with 0 Silver Hand generators, but still not something you can just dismiss.
I think the ideal combo is him on 5 to corrupt day at the fair, play that next turn, then after they trade, refresh the divine shields with the balloon guy. Seems hard to pull off but pretty strong
This card is aboslutely broken and i will eat my words later if im wrong but im very sure everyone will play this and if no crazy other cards is given to other classes then winrate of paladin will be even higher than it is now.
They have so much buffs and after playing Liadrin they can do whatever they want. Also for penflinger version this will be op.
Why play balloon merchant in Standard when you can just run this and save a deck slot + get a 5/5 off of N’zoth?
Pretty strong card.
I predict control/N’zoth Paladin will just throw this in their deck and be ok with it.
Because of the plus 1 attack on the recruits and the fact that drawing Balloon Merchant is more likely than drawing Lothraxion? But yeah, this card is Stronk if you can curve it out.
In Standard, it seems kinda meh. The obvious combo is to play Lothraxion while Day at the Faire is in hand, but even that seems unexciting.
Paladin doesn’t have the board wide buffs that Shaman/Druid have so the question becomes what are you trying to do with these slightly sticky silverhand recruits? Maybe you just jam it along with the other silverhand recruit cards in Pure Paladin and that’s just good enough?
This guy does turn Air Raid into 2 Mana: Summon Two Righteous Protectors (Twice) which sounds pretty good, don’t know how easy it will be to pull that off though
I want to see more buffs before I’m ready to believe in Dudes yet. At least we found a home for the other Sidequest.
I’m betting it gets limited support this time with a decent boon in April when the other stuff rotates.
This is another exciting edition to the Dude Paladin archetype. If Paladin receives additional ways to generate Silver Hand Recruits other than Day at the Faire, I could see the archetype being viable in the next expansion.
Dude pally is going to be tier 1. Saying it now.
Add witch cauldron to standard and I would pledge my loyalty to HS forever and ever.
I play token demon hunter and rustsworn cultist works super well with fel guardians. I think a day at the faire combo with it on 7 looks pretty good
Lol token DH. You funny!
Maybe he forgets that Paladin doesn’t get rush or card draw stapled on to every card in addition to the regular budget like DH gets.
I hit legend for the first time ever with it. People are sleeping on it.
Sure u did. Sure. Token DH. 3 vids or dint happen
