Bronze Herald

Bronze Herald is a common paladin minion card, from the Rise of Shadows set.

Strategy
The Bronze Herald has mediocre status for it's cost, less than an Ironfur Grizzly, but it's true purpose is to fulfill it's deathrattle. Dying puts two 4-cost 4/4 Bronze Dragons in your hand. While these dragons are good to have, they have no additional effects, so saving some hand-buffs for them would be useful. Arena Fanatic, Farraki Battleaxe, (if you can get lucky with overkills), and especially Dragon Speaker can help build the Bronze Dragons into more serious threats. As this is a slower strategy, the Bronze Herald is best used in control decks where you can buy time for your dragons to reach their full potential, as well as attack behind strong taunts like Tirion Fordring.

Lore
This dragon is a bronze drake that appears to be leading a pack of the Bronze Dragonflight to Dalaran, likely attempting to reinforce the city against Arch-Villain Rafaam's League of E.V.IL.
