Shimmering Courser

Shimmering Courser is an epic neutral minion card, from the Kobolds & Catacombs set.

Strategy
While understatted, this minion becomes powerful after being given buffs. Unlike other Elusive minions, it can be buffed by the player's targeted buffing spells while still making it hard for your opponent to remove it, although it's still vulnerable to minion card effects like Spellbreaker and Vilespine Slayer.

It fits well in a Quest Paladin deck as a great target for single-target buffs.
