Ok, so that's smart assery, but seriously - what other class has a quest that synergizes so perfectly with a top-tier neutral legendary? Imagine if the quest reward for Priest was a "magical" minion that brought back all your deathrattle minions for free. That would be insane. But wait - Priest doesn't need that because that card ALREADY EXISTS as a neutral legendary. It's like a double reward.
Why doesn't Warrior get a neutral legendary that brings back all your taunt minions for free? Or Mage get a neutral legendary that gives you back all the spells you played towards your quest that you can then play again for free? Bloody Priest favoritism. What's next, a 5 mana 5/6 dragon that lets you cherry pick a card from your opponent's deck?
Well , play how many deathrattles you want , il just sap your taunts and leeroy you to death (priest was , is , and will allways be free kill for miracle rogue since beta times)
Im currently rank 3 in wild (didnt put much effort) with miracle rogue , before ungoro miracle was probably a tier 2 deck , but even still priest was a free kill , there is no turn 10 for a priest against rogue , fuck your deathlords and belchers , you are going to get outempod anyway, but now with sherazin , the cicle from mimic pod and petals , priest is less thanna joke, even with a bad hand , a good rogue will kill you turn 8,9

Only because of a broken card called: gadgetzan auctioneer. Without it Rogue is trash.
True, but because of it they won't give Rogue much else. It would actually be healthy for the class if they moved Auctioneer to the Hall of Fame and opened up some additional design room.
@Xaos73: if you think that N'zoth is the God send for N'zothpriest, make the deck to go tier 1 or 2 and reach legendary. I would be very interested in seeing it. As I am still toying with ideas.
As has been pointed out by others here, N'zothpriest is easily out tempo'd. The quest itself is not a win condition it merely stalls out the game.
The concept is great, the practicality is negligible. As for favoritism, take time to look at what decks are legendary currently on ladder in standard and again what priest decks are top rated in wild. Then come back to substantiate your claim.
Because the Priest quest reward doesn't win you the game.
At first glance and only playing a few rough unrefined priest quest decks that's what most think. If you play it more though you will see it's actually a lethal card for any sort of aggro decks out there and many mid range decks. For long term and control decks it's a little trickier to use but it can give you the health you need to outlast them. It's not as straight forward as some of the others but it's not nearly as bad as the Paladin, Warlock and Druid quests.

1 - I agree that Deathrattle Priest is not Tier 1 in Standard. I never said anything about the quality of the deck. I simply remarked that Priest was given a quest that dovetails perfectly with a Tier 1 neutral legendary, and that no other class enjoys that privilege.
2 - Deathrattle Priest is God Tier in Wild due to the additional (and better) deathrattle minions available. The only thing holding it back is Pirate Warrior - the deck would be almost unbeatable in a slower meta, especially now with the quest.
3 - The quest is not a win condition - but N'Zoth is. The quest just helps you last until you can play N'Zoth.
4 - My comment about favoritism was a joke and I should have more clearly identified it as such. (There is a famous line in Monty Python's The Holy Grail where a serf complains about "bloody favoritism".) The line is hilarious - my attempt at humor wasn't nearly as funny. Especially because everyone knows that Warrior and Mage are Blizzard's real bitches. Not only do they have the best Basic/Classic sets, they always get strong cards in the expansions.
5 - (unrelated) Is it just my experience, or has everyone switched back from Tyrande to Anduin?
N'Zoth, the Corruptor
