That looks amazing
It seems like a strong effect, but its slightly slow depending on the meta. I guess the UTH/Infest interaction could be pretty nice. I'm glad we are still going to have annoying deathrattle RNG to contend with though.

Well it's not a turn 3 play, just like unleash typically isn't a turn 3 play. The question is how many cards can you put in the 3 slot that aren't actually meant to be played on turn 3 in a single deck.

Unlike current Ragnaros the new Ragnaros can attack. So you're getting a good heal and a body that needs dealing with. It's expensive but I think viable. Keeps Healidin possible but paladin still needs a lot to recover from their losses. This Ragnaros doesn't help in that regard but I do like him.

The only real drawback is that its not ensured to heal face, its like lightwell. You can mitigate that somewhat but there's always going to be times where you have one or more damaged minions too.

Lategame/control paladin archetypes are definitely looking like the viable archtype for standard so far. Its possible more early game cards are coming to help midrange and aggro paladins will probably still exist too, but I doubt aggro paladin will get any more consistent.

Can't imagine that being any good at all in any current deck types but who knows. Would be nice to have an expansion for once actually change the game rather than "here's a couple cards you can maybe plug into the zoo deck you've played for the last 3 years"

Definitely thought that was fake, but apparently it's real. While a lot of cards are 'corrupted', they wanted to make a card 'uncorrupted'. It's definitely an interesting card, but Pally needs some good tools to get to the point where Lightlord can be played and get value. Although he's essentially a pseudo taunt if he's your only minion. The good news is that he only targets damaged friendly chars, so you can summon dudes and he'll heal face.

It's a lot more likely to see play than Bolvar or Eadric, that's for sure. Although I suppose I could see Eadric maybe being good enough in standard. Gotta wonder what all the changes are going to do to wild. Secret pally will probably end up being an untouchable juggernaut.

The card is okay and will see some play I guess, but it's not terribly exciting. Healadin seems more realistic but then I'm trying to decide how many 8 drops I need... the one that draws me cards and possibly my equal+consecrate for next turn or the 8/8 recurring healbot.

Big minions that don't affect board are not exciting.
