Paladin vs Siren Spoilers

[iNano78]

Current, I can't see many war creatures the paladin would cast.

Hopefully this guy will show up in the set - for obvious reasons.  And he's playable by either, acting as sort of a "discount ring" on a stick for either the Siren or the Paladin (or a Warlord):


I figured another promo would be in this set, too, but it turns out the Paladin doesn't have sufficient training to include him for cheap:


And finally, perhaps this little guy will get the Pirate (or Soldier? or Knight?) subtype added to him when he's released in a retail expansion.  Or not.  But it would seem fitting.

The Paladin is trained in all Holy creatures, so Eligor is a trained spell for the Paladin.

Paladin is trained in all level holy creatures - so Eligor is fine for him.

Gerard could be the first creature that its worth using battle fury on.
Eventually you will get some mana back, until then he will hit harder and harder against armored creatures.


Will guard dog get vigilant when in a zone with terrain?

Wow, totallly thought I read that Paladin was level 3 holy, level 2 war.  Forgot the part about all holy creatures.  I'm dumb.  Carry on.

As for Battle Fury... Am I the only player who uses it?  And it's nearly an auto-include for many mages in Domination - but I realize that's not a popular format on the forums (must be a Canadian thing).  But yes, definitely a good idea to get as many attacks out of Gerard as possible.  Whirling Strike could be good on him, too, although at that point it's not so much about the mana gain and more about the fact that his 3rd attack is going to have (at least) Piercing +3!

I totally missed the abilities being spoiled! They seem both very nice. I only fear the paladin overshadowing the priest and/or walords. Far to little information now though.

Also, correct me if im wrong, but level 3 holy + all holy creatures is the same as trained in holy right? Only excluded cards are the priestess only cards right? So only the holy staff? Other than that he has the ecavt same cardpool as the priest(ess)

And Resurrection. His training was done this way mostly because in the future we wanted the ability to make some powerful high level Holy spells that are more tuned toward the "magical" Holy Mages instead of the "martial" one.

Currently, [mwcard=MW1I22]Resurrection[/mwcard] is the only Holy spell excluded from the Paladin.

Thanks!

So ressurection and the staff. (Never used ressurection though  ) ah well, I trust AW and the playtesters. Everything will be alright. Just blabbing my concerns.

It's totally fine. This was all part of various conversations we had during development.

And Crown of Protection.

Well, he could still put Resurrection in his book, but it would cost him 8 sbp (!), so he's probably better off just running more copies of the creatures he'd otherwise resurrect (just like everybody else that doesn't run Resurrection).  But he can't use the Staff or Crown at all.
(He's good to go with Divine Intervention, Restore, and all the Academy equipment, although I think it's safe to assume he'll have better equipment options in his own expansion)

[Laddinfance]

You guys will see some of his amazing equipment tomorrow.

[Boocheck]
