Priest is the reactionary "tech" class with some of the best hard-counter cards in the game. I don't think priest has too much more garbage than the other classes, look at the mage legendaries for example, only ol'anton being any good. Velen as a 6-6 for 6 would be nice though,Prophet Velen+double Mind Blast on turn 10 could be worth building around.
Go play wild if you like priest that much. N'Zoth, the Corruptor priest is apparently a tier 1 deck over there, but be prepared for some very long games...
I get that you just said that you weren't salty but...
How has the game been about short-term decisions? Especially with the addition to standard it is quite clear they are looking for long-term prospects with actual payouts (since "required" acquisition of cards are smaller for each standard-rotation, it is easier to play on the ladder with cheaper and cheaper decks; and to make sure that those cards that were "invested" in the standard mode, they can be used in Wild, Tavern Brawls and adventures meaning they never become obsolete unless you treat them as such). So... could you please explain how priests have suffered from short term decisions and also whilst you are at it, how it is that you make the argument that Blizzard has focused on short-term hype.
Because without any explaination... all you really sound like it rather annoyed at the current state of the game for... some random arbitary reasoning.
Not short-term decisions, short-term hype and I think you didnt quite understand my post. Obviously Blizzard as a company tries to make long-term decisions but so far it hasn't paid off at all (not focus on them; they focus mostly on expansions). So, even if that's not their intention, the end-result is what matters. Also, even though I posted in this priest thread, I meant all classes.
Even the standard-wild format was a good (typical nonetheless) idea for a card game, but it's only short-term since it only happens only once every year and I believe that the hype of this decision was only for removing the annoying OP Naxx-GvG cards that we've been playing with for so long. If there are not constant changes in the cards, people will just netdeck and play the same strong cards each season, trying to refine the already strong decks; unless there are some sleeper OP cards in a new set to make a new strong deck (e.g. Mysterious Challenger and even he is not enough anymore without Minibot, Muster and Shredder).
I prefer to explain to each person separately, than try to cover every aspect of my thoughts; hence my post was not so extensive. And I only put the "salty :P" with the face to be proactive against troll posts :D

Argentum once again your arguments are from imaginary world of pre beta, arena and cards for fun and beginners.
Herald Volazj in dragon deck? It can't find the place even in Nthos deck.
Prophet Velen in OTK that is not competitive at all?
Temple Enforcer for beginners?
Power word Tentacles can be combined with Piro? Blessing of Kings can also be and will cost less. (Use 7 mana for 1 dmg - for real?)
Spawn of Shadows - Arena? Man, we are talking about Standard. (or you want to compare it to Dr7? )
Shadow word horror is good because it can kill 1/1 with shield . Do you hear yourself?
Mindgames is constantly bad because of aggro meta. Your chance of Ragna =1%, chance of trog 50%.
Covert, confuse, lightwel - arena, fun, fun - that is your arguments to prove that priest is good.
P.s. Come on, man! Learn how to understand brief conclusions from my previous post to your all funny arguments. You might realise -you don't need many words to explain obvious facts.
