Ivory Knight is a rare paladin minion card, from the One Night in Karazhan set.

Card	Crafting cost	Disenchanting
Ivory Knight	100	20
Golden Ivory Knight	800	100

Notes

• This card's Battlecry has two steps:
  • First, it discovers a card;
  • Then, it restores to the hero an amount of Health equal to the base mana cost of the discovered card (prior to the application of any cost-modifying effects).

Strategy

A strong choice for a control-orientated deck; while the minion's stats are sub-par for its cost, the heal provides some immediate benefit and the Discovered spell offers great flexibility.

Your opponent might know which spell you have chosen, judging by the amount of Health restored to your hero. For example, (as of the Year of the Mammoth Standard) the only 6 mana Paladin spells are Avenging Wrath and Spikeridged Steed, and the only 8 mana spell are Lay on Hands and Dinosize. However, if only missing a few Health points, you can pick a more expensive spell and leave the opponent guessing as the amount healed won't go over your hero's maximum Health.

Possible spells

The below table lists all collectible paladin spells in Standard format, representing the range of possible spells generated by Ivory Knight. For Wild format listings, see Paladin/Wild format.

Name / Desc	Rarity	Class	Cost	Description
Blessing of Might	Free	Paladin	1	Give a minion +3 Attack. "As in, you MIGHT want to get out of my way." - Toad Mackle, recently buffed.
Hand of Protection	Free	Paladin	1	Give a minion Divine Shield. This spell has been renamed so many times, even paladins don’t know what it should be called anymore.
Humility	Free	Paladin	1	Change a minion's Attack to 1. This card makes something really damp. Oh wait. That's "Humidity."
Holy Light	Free	Paladin	2	Restore 6 Health. If you are often bathed in Holy Light, you should consider wearing sunscreen.
Blessing of Kings	Free	Paladin	4	Give a minion +4/+4. (+4 Attack/+4 Health) Given the number of kings who have been assassinated, are you sure you want their blessing?
Consecration	Free	Paladin	4	Deal 2 damage to all enemies. Consecrated ground glows with Holy energy. But it smells a little, too.
Hammer of Wrath	Free	Paladin	4	Deal 3 damage. Draw a card. A good paladin has many tools. Hammer of Wrath, Pliers of Vengeance, Hacksaw of Justice, etc.
Autodefense Matrix	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When one of your minions is attacked, give it Divine Shield.
Avenge	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When one of your minions dies, give a random friendly minion +3/+2. Several paladins have joined together to deliver justice under the name "Justice Force." Their lawyer talked them out of calling themselves the Justice League.
Blessing of Wisdom	Common	Paladin	1	Choose a minion. Whenever it attacks, draw a card. Apparently with wisdom comes the knowledge that you should probably be attacking every turn.
Eye for an Eye	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When your hero takes damage, deal that much damage to the enemy hero. Justice sometimes takes the form of a closed fist into a soft cheek.
Never Surrender!	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When your opponent casts a spell, give your minions +2 Health. But sometimes concede.
Noble Sacrifice	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When an enemy attacks, summon a 2/1 Defender as the new target. We will always remember you, "Defender!"
Redemption	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When a friendly minion dies, return it to life with 1 Health. I am not sure how you get demptioned the first time. It’s a mystery!
Repentance	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: After your opponent plays a minion, reduce its Health to 1. Repentance often comes in the moment before obliteration. Curious.
Flash of Light	Common	Paladin	2	Restore 4 health. Draw a card. Hey! No cameras allowed!
Lightforged Blessing	Common	Paladin	2	Twinspell Give a friendly minion Lifesteal. Some might call this a lightforgery.
Rebuke	Common	Paladin	2	Enemy spells cost (5) more next turn. When one buke just isn’t enough.
Sound the Bells!	Common	Paladin	2	Echo Give a minion +1/+2. Weirdly, the bells stop ringing after 5.
Subdue	Common	Paladin	2	Set a minion's Attack and Health to 1. Like humility but more humiliating.
Time Out!	Common	Paladin	3	Your hero is Immune until your next turn. Highly effective against 3 year olds.
Crystology	Rare	Paladin	1	Draw two 1-Attack minions from your deck. "The Light is neither a particle nor a wave. It's more of a juice, really."
Desperate Measures	Rare	Paladin	1	Twinspell Cast a random Paladin Secret. Desperate times call for disparate secrets.
Call to Adventure	Rare	Paladin	3	Draw the lowest Cost minion from your deck. Give it +2/+2. Even the smallest minion can change the outcome of the game.
Equality	Rare	Paladin	4	Change the Health of ALL minions to 1. We are all special unique snowflakes... with 1 Health.
Blessed Champion	Rare	Paladin	5	Double a minion's Attack. This card causes double the trouble AND double the fun.
Holy Wrath	Rare	Paladin	5	Draw a card and deal damage equal to its cost. C'mon Molten Giant!!
Righteousness	Rare	Paladin	5	Give your minions Divine Shield. Shield yourself in righteousness! It feels like a warm fuzzy blanket.
Shrink Ray	Rare	Paladin	5	Set the Attack and Health of all minions to 1. Actually works by enlarging the rest of the world.
Pharaoh's Blessing	Rare	Paladin	6	Give a minion +4/+4, Divine Shield, and Taunt. Life hack: Sneeze near a pharaoh.
Hidden Wisdom	Epic	Paladin	1	Secret: After your opponent plays three cards in a turn, draw 2 cards. Find your own wisdom. Perhaps behind the couch.
Prismatic Lens	Epic	Paladin	4	Draw a minion and a spell from your deck. Swap their Costs. Mined exclusively from the dark side of the moon.
Duel!	Epic	Paladin	5	Summon a minion from each player's deck. They fight! If you don't fight to the death, it's Duel Yielding.
Avenging Wrath	Epic	Paladin	6	Deal 8 damage randomly split among all enemies. Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
A New Challenger...	Epic	Paladin	7	Discover a 6-Cost minion. Summon it with Taunt and Divine Shield. … Arrives? Approaches? TELL US ALREADY!
Lay on Hands	Epic	Paladin	8	Restore 8 Health. Draw 3 cards. A grammatically awkward life saver.
Tip the Scales	Epic	Paladin	8	Summon 7 Murlocs from your deck. Hold on, I need to get some murlocs to weigh in on this.
Making Mummies	Legendary	Paladin	1	Quest: Play 5 Reborn minions. Reward: Emperor Wraps. "I do say, this gives me the vapors every single time!"
Kangor's Endless Army	Legendary	Paladin	7	Resurrect 3 friendly Mechs. They keep any Magnetic upgrades. "That's three, Kangor. Three isn't endless." - Countess Ashmore
