Is OP in e.g. arena

Turns out this card is preeeeeeetty good </kripperino> in a midrange pally deck. Way too slow for aggro, but once you couple this with a big hand (which is easy to build up thanks to stuff like Meanstreet Marshal and Small-Time Recruits) the card gets huge value on the turn it's played. Similar to Murloc Knight or Emperor Thaurissan, it's also a big threat that must be removed asap by your opponent or they risk dire consequences...ever played 3x 6/6 minions for 5 mana thanks to a beefed up Doppelgangster? Let me tell you firsthand that it's hilarious.

Solid card overall that fills the awkward gap in the 5-mana slot left by stuff like Loatheb and Sludge Belcher rotating out.

I think they went overkill with this effect. This one seems the least useful, by turn 5 most of your hand would be empty if you're playing an aggressive deck. 

Well then maybe it isn't for an aggro deck lol ?

He's essentially a minion-only Emperor Thaurissan that buffs rather than reduces card cost. Definitely a soft taunt target.

Seems aight but it's a very dull theme they have going on. Makes constructed look more like Arena. ResidentSleeper

Yea, even given the new effect, too bad they couldn't come up with more interesting ways to use it.  Give spell damage or taunt (+can't be targeted by spells).  Reduce cost of a random spell by 1.  Give a random beast charge.  Make a random non-pirate minion talk like a pirate, etc.

sounds fine..

Hand Buff Pally Hype!

Very powerfull tempo swing, since there is a bunch of awesome 6-drops

And most awesome:

Repeating the same dull mechanic over and over again isn't fun...

Crazy Barnes value.

By the power of Gadgetzan! I have the POWER!

two words... Vote Down

this seems weak with  any hand size less than 4/5

Unless you're really unlucky this will be at least a 5 mana 6/6 value and a good threat on the board

Even if you have a single minion in hand, 5 mana 5/5 value that nearly always has to be removed by the opponent...is not THAT bad...

This Aggro  Paladin deck is looking promising, although priest is gonna kill all the aggro decks.
