Strategy[]

Likes its low-cost predecessor Annoy-o-Tron, Righteous Protector is a weak but very cheap and annoying Taunt for opponents to deal with. Even with its paltry stats, it can keep important minions protected. Combined with Redemption or Desperate Stand, it can keep itself up long enough for stronger minions to arrive.

You can play it on the first turn and then buffed up with cards like Hand of A'dal on the next, creating a solid body with a Divine Shield

The hand-buffing effects of the Grimy Goons can also make this card usable in the later game.
