Unique mechanics
The paladin is a well-rounded class which focuses on strong minions and limiting your opponent`s ability to use their own. The mechanic Divine Shield is most strongly associated with paladin cards. Paladins can use weapons to attack directly, and can use secrets that trigger when a certain condition is met. Their Hero Power can be used to summon an endless supply of 1/1 minions. With spells that can heal, buff and protect minions, paladins can potentially have some of the strongest minions in the game. Paladins control their opponent`s minions and buff their own with cards like Adaptation and Blessing of Might, helping them to complete their quest, The Last Kaleidosaur.
Hero Power
Reinforce provides a reliable stream of 1/1 Silver Hand Recruits. This can be useful for generally swelling the paladin`s board presence, and for generating card advantage by trading for the opponent`s minions. Effects like Sword of Justice and Raid Leader can be very effective at improving these weak minions, while Quartermaster offers a specific synergy. The constant presence of Recruits on the board also provides the perfect target for powerful buffs like Blessing of Kings, punishing the opponent should they ignore these seemingly weak minions.
Alternate Hero Powers
All paladins begin with Reinforce, which can be upgraded to The Silver Hand by Justicar Trueheart`s Battlecry. Playing Vilefin Inquisitor will replace the current Hero Power with The Tidal Hand.
