Strategy[edit | edit source]
Lord Barov is effectively a 3-mana Equality with the equivalent of a 2-mana minion attached to it. It can be used with small Area of effect spells like Consecration or Whirlwind to clear the opponent's board. He can also be used to set up good trades. In less dire situations, Barov is a decent tempo play that will threaten to destroy your opponent's minions with his own effect on the following turn. Barov works well in both midrange and control decks, although he has anti-synergy with mana-cheating cards like Commencement since he loses his Battlecry.
Paladins can use the Deathrattle left behind by Barov to clear the opponent's board a second time with Equality or Libram of Justice.
Cards such as Animated Broomstick, Sword and Board, and Hammer of Wrath can be used to destroy Lord Barov and clear the board immediately after playing him.
