It's not a good card, but why does the alternative have to be to add some insane effect that instantly makes it broken?
Sweep off your 5 recruits next turn for 5 mana it s%?k5 .
Suddenly Almost Decent
Combo with Steward of Darkshire.
Yeah, with the introduction of Steward of Darkshire, it becomes a two card, 8 mana combo that summons a 3/3 and 5 Argent Squires. The Muster for Battle/Quartermaster combo is still going to be stronger, but since the power level seems to be dropping slightly for Standard I think this new combo will work just fine, unless it becomes too popular and everyone starts teching in Blood Knight.
Stand Against Darkness. Find a sheep in the darkness. Look closely at the sheep. run.
I'm in the "this card is meh" camp. Except in Arena. It's decent there. In constructed modes, I'd usually prefer Tuskarr Jouster for the heals, Djinni of Zephyrs depending on how many buffs I'm running, or even Silver Hand Knight if it must be a common. Hearthstone simply doesn't have enough swarmy token support in paladin for me to want to build around this card, unless there's a replacement for Quartermaster. You could always try this out in Wild, though. Seems like a fun, if not hyper-competitive deck. Knife Juggler drools when he sees this card.
You know I actually see potential for this. With the buffing weapon if you let's say coin out the silver hand recruits turn 4 then you have immediate value from the weapon. That's 5 2/2's. The only thing that really kept that weapon from seeing play was that it was too slow. Multiple turns could go by before it was used up. But now it can be fully activated the next turn. All in all that's 10/10 worth of stats over the course of 2 turns. And if there are any other silver hand buff cards this could potentially work ^^. On a side note I'm just really happy paladin is going back to control <3. I loved paladin before it became cancer :(
Oh yes there are lots of aoes that can mess it over. But there are more single target removal cards than aoe's. aoe does wreck it I'll give you that but I think that having many minions is more resilient than 1 big one.
Fan of knives get more value out of it
bittch card! I hate this and the forbidden healing new one isnt that great neither. paladin nerfed to the d this expansion.
Flamestrike
Fan of Knives, Arcane Explosion, Wild Pyromancer, i could go on.
Why would you flamestrike 5 1,1's if quartermaster is being removed?
Dreadscale
Vanish + Coldlight Oracle
This card is a good example of how broken Muster for Battle is.
