Cobalt Guardian

Cobalt Guardian is a rare paladin minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.

Strategy
An aggressive statted minion for Mech-based decks, this minion's low Health makes it vulnerable unless it has Divine Shield active. While the most obvious way to protect it is to immediately follow its summoning with another Mech, if this is not possible protective buffs can be useful to allow it to survive until one can be summoned.

By summoning a Mech, the Deathrattle of Harvest Golem (and potentially Piloted Shredder, Piloted Sky Golem, Sneed's Old Shredder) will cause this minion to gain Divine Shield. This can be effective for immediately re-shielding a Cobalt Guardian following AoE such as Flamestrike. In these cases, the opponent should deal damage to the Guardian to first remove its Divine Shield before using AoE that will cause other Mechs to be summoned.
