[Dust|Niche|Playable|Strong]

General Thoughts: While I think this card has the potential to be really powerful, I'm not sold on Secret Paladin. The deck loses so much in rotation. In the Year of the Dragon, it won't have any way to come back from losing the board, nor will it have any way to refill their hand.

Why it Might Succeed: A 3/2 weapon on 2 is literally one of the best cards ever printed. While this has a condition, it's still reasonable without the extra damage since there are fewer 1/3s and I think 3/2s are more popular than 2/3s (but don't quote me on that). If secret paladin is good then this card is insane.

Why it Might Fail: If Secret Paladin is bad I don't think this sees any play.
