You know I actually think this is a good card. Resurrect can't be used as a turn 2 play when playing priest.. But when comboed with cards after you've lost an injured blademaster it summons 4/7's. It is an incredibly EFFICIENT card even if not 100% reliable.
Priest is notorious for not playing much in the early game. A doomsayer/shadow word pain may be all that is used. When you play it turn 5 after you've played potentially an injured blademaster turn 3 and a shifting shade or elise starseeker or something along those lines turn 4.. You've suddenly got GREAT value with this card turn 5 most likely.
And under the situation where you top-deck this late game the value has most likely increased greatly. Suddenly you could be getting 5 mana yseras and ragnaros's.
This card is good. All you have to do is survive(easier said than done).
Resurrect effect on a 3/4 minion costing 5 mana. Is the effect random?? If it is, it's not a great card, because it's too slow in a class that needs better early game minions and tempo plays. If it's not though, it can be a really big tempo swing. Could be interesting.
so it's basically Ressurect strapped to a 3 mana 3/4....Resurrect saw some play and this has synergy with N'zoth.
I don't get it...Priest keeps getting good minions for various deck archetypes but no cards that hlp with their fundamental weaknesses, aka no early game presence, onlny reactive cards, bad card draw in a class that almost exclusively plays control...
...Huh. I guess it summons your Lesser Heal back?
Jokes aside, this card has me excited as a WILD priest player. In WILD N'zoth Priest is a tier 1 deck. And this bringing back a Zombie Chow, a Dark Cultist, a Deathlord, a Piloted Shredder, or a Shifting Shade.... is very exciting. It also does not come with the Tempo Loss/ possibility of being a dead card of Resurrect so.... yha, good card for Wild. Shame it can't do anything for Standard.
For some reason I misread it as a 5/4 for a while and now I'm extremely disappointed. Priest either stays a joke or might be lucky enough to get carried by dragons.
Rating: Good
New Archetype: Midrange Priest or more likely N'Zoth Priest
Power Level: Fair to good- You have to hit an average 2 mana minion for it to be fair, you prolly put this in a deck where it is stacked in favor of hitting something good. Either an outrageous N'Zoth deck or a strong Injured Bladmaster deck. Maybe both, but its has been hard to make bodies matter in priest.
Will it see play: Hard to say, if bodies on the board can matter in priest it is great, but this is the same downfall that the 3/4 death rattle give a minion 3 health guy had. Priest is a deck that plays on an empty board better then one with minions
Theory Craft: Prolly N'Zoth, some N'Zothy minions, and Injured Blademaster after that Idk
Fun: It is a very fun card and could see some N'Zoth summons 6 Sylvannas Shenanigans with the other revive card and the museum curator
In priest you do get to choose what minion. Since you hardly play any minions.
make it 4 mana or 5/4 or remove priest from game. any from this three decisions is acceptable
If it was 4 mana or 5/4, it would be ridiculously imbalanced.. Think of him as a 3/4. battlecry summon full health Injured Blademaster . How is that bad?
*And that's only if you play him early, if you play him late game, he is a 3/4 minion with an additional Resurrect
I was pretty close guessing this card; They went with onyx instead of ebony for some reason.
Obviously would have never guessed that ability, though.
Don't get hyped, not all cards with random effects do have the word "random".
Golden Monkey, Desert Camel, Shifting Shade, Ancient Harbinger and many more... Yeah, this is a bad 5-drop :(
Yeah, it is highly unlikely you will get to choose the minion. Otherwise, they could have imprinted something like Discover.
Please make it so you get to chose the minion!
dont say random ...
I can guarantee it's random. Deathrattles used to never say random even though they were back in Naxx release times. The designers seem to like hiding that word whenever possible.
I see great potential in this card with a N'zoth the corrupter and Barnes deck, as pretty much any minion you resurrect will be value. That said, it is not what standard priest needed, so unless some of these neutral cards do work for priest, they will have to wait till the next expansion. Pretty nuts in Wild though, where Priest is one of the best classes.
It's going to be random or else that would be really weird and not at all keeping with the whole resurrected effect.
Also it would be really weird from a UI standpoint.
wow another useless card. you will die on turn 6 with such 5 drops thatn can be easy traded by 3 or 4 drops.
GREAT tempo loose.
Pokemon Go players should not confuse this with the Onix Bishop, who is significantly taller and less likely to summon a friend.
