Shieldmaiden

Shieldmaiden is a rare warrior minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.

Strategy
Serving as a potent and immediate source of Armor, this minion has obvious synergy with Control Warrior decks. Specifically, it can serve to immediately make a Shield Slam viable, even if the warrior previously had no Armor. It is therefore similar to Shield Block, but for 2 extra cost provides a 5/5 minion instead of drawing another card.

Shieldmaiden is also useful for defensive purposes, providing both a solid stack of Armor and a substantial body with which to challenge the board.

Trivia

 * The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Blood of Gladiators" series, for the card Chloe Mithrilbolt.
