holy crab should destroy a lachey and gain +1/+1. every single crab in the game eats another minion, and as it is holy it would want to destroy something evil. arguably this is the most powerful crab printed in this case, but considering that lackeys are typically 1/1s whereas murlocs and pirates are typically much higher stated minions I still feel this is still balanced.

I’d argue that the desert lance being able to kill the minion is still in paladin flavor. He’s completing his duty and taking the damage himself

[@highroller5335]

I like it more if it only debuffs health. That feels more 'fair and just' like yeah i just played a 4 mana assassinate that left me with a weapon, but at least you got value outof your minion's attack.

[@snowstorm9818]

​@@highroller5335 balancing a class based on all their cards being "fair" is a terrible idea, since it's essentially saying that class can't have extremely strong cards. If you flavor paladins as "fair" in other words their cards have to at least leave the opponent something, but then rogues would be flavored as "unfair" so cards which are uninteractive, unfun, and basically just cheat your opponent would be "in flavor", and that's obviously a terrible idea, not to mention being super unbalanced.

[@highroller5335]

@@snowstorm9818 Ahh then i should clarify because you're confusing fair with balanced.. and the word carries some conotations that makes their use confusing. Also it is absolutely important to keep class identity and flavor reinforced. Soo first thing to point out is that every iteration of the proposed weapon is a strong card. The version posted to reddit is the strongest, the version suggested by trump is the weakest and the one i suggested plays in that middle ground.. I'm not saying paladin shouldn't have strong cards. I'm saying that in specifically the category of removing creatures, paladin is the class that goes about it in the most fair way, they want to trade health or mana efficiently for it.. their removal spells are expensive enough that it slows them down but scary enough that the opponent must play around them.. but no paladin card *ever* directly kills a minion. They either do some damage or set you up to kill with minions or another card. And the reason being is because "destroy target minion" is a rouge card: assassinate. Soo when you give paladin a weapon that is cheeper than assassinate, and by itself ensures that a minion will die to it then guess what you might as well have reprinted assassinate in paladin... that doesn't sound like a paladin card. It mechanically doesn't feel like a paladin card. Now my suggestion to take full damage from the minion you're assassinating doesn't even fully fix that problem. But it puts you in the right direction. You don't want to mix up flavor too harshly otherwise the game starts to feel samey. The card is still strong and it fits the flavor better. Uther does not seem like the kinda guy who would cripple someone before fighting them just to give himself a better shot at surviving. Keeper of uldaman shouldn't have haste that's what this weapon is.. it's keeper but with haste.

[@spinningredchair8092]

Trump: Every 0 Mana card in hearthstone's history will see play. Also Trump: Knockout will not see play because this 0 mana card is too weak.

[@NoeLPZC]

Blizzard didn't print Knockout though. 0-mana cards only really see play in incredibly aggressive decks or combo decks (e.g. Malygos + Moonfire). Knockout can't hit face so it's no good as a combo finisher, and as an aggressive card it's too situational and too low-impact to be worth running. The reason (most) other 0-mana cards saw play was that they were good zoo minions with tribe tags that assisted buffs (i.e. Tinyfin is murloc decks, or Penguin in beast decks). A 0-mana 1-1 is balanced, but too low impact to give up a slot in your deck for unless it can be easily buffed. Running Knockout in a zoo Warrior won't work, since it only targets damaged minions. This means you have to attack with a minion first before you can even play the card, and with low-stat zoo minions this means sacrificing a minion 99% of the time. "Sacrifice a minion to deal 2 damage" is incredibly weak. At 3 damage it might see play, because now you have an ok answer to taunts. Rather than having to sacrifice several minions to break through the taunt, you can sacrifice one then cleanup with Knockout. And at 0-mana it lets you maintain tempo which is essential for aggro decks.

[@xuspirahopte5549]

@@mr.paperbag771 The problem is in part to polarization due to consistency of the deck. This was the problem year round for Genn and Baku. Having a hard counter doesn't matter when your deck still hard wins other watchups, in which case we have an unhealthy metagame like Boomsday and Rastakhan. As for not having wide board answers, I raise you a quest Warlock deck that uses the hero power to draw for 1 mana every turn, then walling until turn seven and clearing with Godfrey. Sounds stupid, but that's the start. Shaman can play Hagatha to both board clear AND get spells consistently. Mage plays Reno on 6 (this is the earliest) and have a one sided twisting nether before playing their 7 mana Ragnaros with "Battlecry: Summon Jan'alai". Paladin should rightfully not worry about wide boards, especially in wild where they have Tarim. Finally, Baron Geddon exists for all classes to shut down token decks entirely. You didn't ask for it, but I'll share wild anyway. Deathstalker Rexxar comes out on six and changes the pace of the game to something slower if needed. Let's be honest it's kinda easy to see a hunter deck that focuses on hitting 3 damage for 1 mana every turn. Dreadscale is another fun one to throw into that hunter deck for whatever reason that would be in their collection. Finally, every class gets access to Dreadscale, which is a big taunt alongside the board clear in a deck that most likely runs dragons in it.

Karsten but hero power value

[@highroller5335]

after having a conversation about it, Desert Lance could be renamed, and then changed to a different class. if the idea is that the weapon kills a minion on entry and then leaves behind an extra charge, and Paladin shouldn't be the class to debuff and kill a minion on a single card (uther doesn't seem like the type to cripple someone before he fights them) let's adjust it. Scopped Rifle 4 mana 3/2 hunter weapon battlecry: set a minion's health to 3... see now it feels like you're marking the target, before you snipe them down. that feels huntery you could even do it in rouge but then you'd run into the problem that you start having a critical mass of removal in that class Prepared blade 4 mana 3/2 rouge weapon battlecry: gain poisonous this turn. same idea it kills one thing and then leaves behind an extra charge, the flavor is it comes poisoned but after you stab with it once it rubs off.

What about this for Mirage Blade? Discover a copy of a weapon in your deck. Make it 1 mana 1/1. Would require to adjust cost to 2 or 3 for MB perhaps.

[@Mazortan]

I feel like saying that lightning creeper is basically 4 mana senjin is a faulty logic. Following this idea you could say that faceless is just a 6-mana 7/7 and thus nothing special, but he was special

[@raver377]

on the topic of honorable paladin etc: wasnt there a paladin card that killed every minion on both sides of the board except for the one with the most health or most attack?

11:13 "They fight fair." Cheating lense? :)

[@derrilazkia1002]

Fair in a sense that they don't deceive their enemy.

[@g-rated-g]

@@derrilazkia1002 Good point :)

[@EnderGrimm]

Mirage Blades + Doomhammer is technically a Draw 8 Cards spell

[@ArcasCorricol]

"paladins fight fair" says the man who just showed keeper of uldaman which was a 3/4

[@johnj4471]

While you might only be talking about Standard, wild has Tarim at least for pally.

[@Austin101123]

There is the legendary minion that sets all other minions to 3/3 which would buff the dudes.

[@SebastianRamirez-kz2lv]

Problem with Mirage Blades is it would make Kingsbane WAAAAAY stronger, buff it up through the game, split it into more copies, profit

[@KraylebStudios]

Kind of surprised with the Mad Merchant

[@yoopoipoi160]

I really think Holy Crab should have been something like destroy a Demon gain x amount of stats (or another bonus) since the other crabs destroy Pirates and Murlocs and also gain stats but of course that wouldn't be a unique of a design but it is within the designs of a Crab minion...

[@Bruh-el9js]

If mirage blades made the attack of the weapon 1 or didn't reduce the cost of the weapons it would be perfect

[@sombrero46]

Mirage Blades draws from your deck, so no steal mechanic is in play

[@beboparc2378]

imagine having the dust for an all legendary deck

[@hoveringvan9961]

imagine having dust

[@MS31459]

Imagine having cards

[@briancooley8777]

I have money

[@rasmusthorkllund6303]

btw. 1st card is a legendary, does that not make it to the only legendary in the deck playable?
