Noble Sacrifice

Noble Sacrifice is a common paladin spell card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Classic set.

Strategy
This is an excellent Secret for when your opponent is bearing down on you, as the Defender it summons will absorb attack damage and deal light retaliation in return. Noble Sacrifice is best against minions with low Health, or to protect against weapon-using classes such as the rogue and warrior.

When playing against paladin Secrets, try attacks using higher-Health, lower Attack, or less valuable minions first to bait Noble Sacrifice out.

If you control a card which can buff the Defender on summon, such as Sword of Justice or Righteous Cause, you can summon a 3/2 to intercept the attack, increasing the lethal potential against the attacker or even allowing it to survive a small attack.

In Secret Paladin, Noble Sacrifice is a great card to trigger Avenge.

Trivia

 * Should the Defender survive his summoning attack or be brought back from death, such as through Redemption, his quote when commanded to attack is a boasting "hahaha, I LIVE!!".
 * This card is sometimes more commonly referred to by its popular given nickname; it is often called 'Get Down', an obvious reference to the Defender's summoning quote.
 * The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "The Hunt for Illidan" series, for the card Vindicator Kentho.

Patch changes

 * Moved from Classic to Legacy set.
