A silenced Ancient Watcher. That's what it takes to trade cleanly against one of those.

Actually, since he can heal himself and attack, Lightlord is pretty damn good in the long game if you can fish out removals first. It's also rare for minions to have more than 8 health too.

Flame juggler beats it clean 50% of the time. In the worst case, it is even.
Like everybody else is saying, paladin card is good if we get a bgh nerf.
It is also amazing how it isn't amazing but still shits all over boogeymonster

Even if it does, it still has that one hp that will help it when it dies to Muster.

Well yes, you can't beat two broken cards in a row
I'm wondering if BGH will just be given a rng element. 50% chance to kill or shoot a blank would make it unplayable enough.

Lightlord compared to lay on hands... is really good. Instead of drawing 3 cards, it's like you draw and play an 8/8. If played on an empty board, it's a guaranteed face heal.
Renewable heals is something I've wanted in control paladin too. You might think it's bad vs control but if it trades it can also heal itself since it doesn't say another friendly character.

It's 8 per turn though.

I still think if he just sacrifices himself if he kills a minion then that's good enough. Then at least it's removal or a minion but not both.
It's a very boring design.
Made more boring by the fact that "trigger on heal" cards are primarily in Priest so you don't even get that synergy.
It says "end of your turn" doesn't it? Am I missing something? It would be playable if it was "per turn" because then it keeps itself alive if they can't remove it in one go.

There's no competition in Paladins 8 slot because Tirion has that shit on lockdown. I can't see Antique Ragbot taking a slot from him.

With BGH likely gone it should be interesting to see how difficult stuff with high health is to remove. Especially for something like Lightlord in that you have to do all 8 damage at once or it's going to have the opportunity to heal.
I think it's a solid card. Not amazing or anything but the more I think about it I think it will see play in the control Paladin that Blizzard seems to be trying to push.
The only issue I really see is that, on paper, the N'Zoth Paladin seems a lot stronger and I don't think you'd play Lightlord in that.

I'm preparing myself for an underwhelming BGH nerf. Like 1 additional mana cost or something.
When blizz nerf something its will unusuable aftter.

I'm pretty sure Lightlord is end of every turn it's alive and unsilenced. It uses the same exact wording as Ragnaros.
It happens at the end of your turn, so you get to decided what the board state is before the effect goes off.

i see it in a control paladin deck like control/fatigue warrior. Heal 8 every turn negates those first 3 turns of fatigue

All of these 6/X cards, combined with that supposed MC Paladin counter, make me worry.
This will made it broken
The effect is good enough its just depend on meta he can being playable or not like miladesn said
I just don't like the idea that it's going to heal some random dude who only had 1 damage all the time, like with lightwell.
The thing with lightwell is that it's cheap, so you're not as upset when your 2 drop does something stupid.
But when your 8 drop does something stupid and effectively becomes a vanilla 8/8, that's bad news.
If you play control deck most of the time its pretty rare to see minion on your board. Its will much navigateable than actual rag killing board clear token that you don't give à shit

Golden version of the card is going to be real pretty I bet.

Rank 16 with my Naxx / Blackrock tempo Mage deck.
Learning a lot about when and where to make trades vs using spells, where to take risks, etc.
Still a scrub, but I'm improving and it feels good. Might try arena after I read up on it.

Grats. I recommend watching someone like Hafu play Arena a bit to understand how it all works.

What happened to hearthstone deck tracker's overlay transparency option? It's really annoying to use now..
It definitely lets them race since it flips 16 health a turn. Plus infinitely better than lightwell since it happens at the end of the turn, allowing you a significant degree of control over where it lands.

Okay, Hearthstone team, this is getting way up your own ass. Like, hey, haha, it's Ragnaros! Everybody loves Ragnaros. Let's create some made-up bullshit to fit into Pally. Nevermind there's a bunch of cool Paladin-themed potential legendaries we could go with. And nevermind there already exists a 2nd form Ragnaros we could've used. Oopsy-doodles!
Can't wait for Ragnaros, Magelord and Ragnaros, Assassinlord.
As for the effect, I think it's rather amazing. It must be dealt with ASAP or will get out of control with the ability to heal the player. Or itself. Sure, Silence and BGH ruin the fun, but they always ruin the fun. Rag 2 has got pseudo taunt.

They changed the defaults, just go into settings and change them. You likely want to select "Hide in Menu" and "Hide if HS in background" Or is there some other issue you are having?
Yes, the big issue is most aggro decks try to win by turn 7.
I think this new Rag will fit in nicely to a Reno Deck, so he should see some play.

I used to have the overlay's transparency down to about 50% during play so I could play in windowed mode without the overlay completely covering the sides.

It's an incredibly bad card now.
The Mango Sentinel

Yeah exactly. I just don't understand how they could nerf it that much and think "Hmmm ok, this is acceptable"
5 goddamn mana for a 3/2.....what the fuck were they thinking?

If you wait until turn 6, you can play a Boar and get a free card!

That's a cool looking card.

I wouldn't even mind if he was 5 mana if he was something like a 2/7 that was just a real pain in the ass to get rid of.
Of course a mana reduction would be better in my opinion since I don't want to wait until turn 5 to start getting some damn card draw.

Technically, sure, but you get card draw from him. I think 3/7 or 2/8 would be a bit much.2/7 for 5 is still under stats.
