Holy Shield
Instant Ability
Cost: 2
Class: Paladin
Protection Hero Required
Prevent the next 5 damage that would be dealt to
your hero by target hero or ally this turn. When
damage is prevented this way, your hero deals that
amount of holy damage to that character.
This is one of the better abilities a paladin can
use to save themselves.
Low cost, big effect, what can you want more?
Prevent the next 5 damage that would be dealt to
your hero by target ally this turn. When damage is
prevented this way, your hero deals that amount of
hold damage to that character.
In short, stop up to
5 damage to an ally and smack that ally for the same
amount of damage at the same time. Great way to pop
an ally, and since its instant speed, you can do it
after they've declared an attack. Yay!
Sealed: 4/5 Great way to save your own butt and get
rid of one of those pesky Ally cards....
Constructed: 4/5 This is a great pally card. I
don't know why its not in MY paladin deck. Wait,
yes I do... I DON'T HAVE ANY. But I digress. Holy
Shield is great.
Casual: 4/5 Still a good card in casual, but
nothing really 'fun' about it.
Raid: 4/5 If your Pally is the tank for the raid,
this card can be pretty good. If your Pally is the
HEALER for the raid, its not bad either, since any
good Raid Boss player will attempt to wipe out the
Healer if they can get around the tank...

HOLY SHIELD
This is an awesome 2 cost card for paladins. You can
protect up to 5 damage meant for your hero and deal
that many back to that character. So that could be a
ten point switch for a cost of only 2. This only
protects heros though, not allies. This card
frustrated me at WOW’s first regional event. I got
my hands on 4 furys and ran with hunter. I ran smack
into a solo paladin deck maining 4 of these.
Repeatedly, I said, “Fury attacks for 5,” and my
opponent would say, “Holy Shield again,” so Fury
dies for 2. Needless to say, I lost that one.
