The problem with Priest right now is that you don't play against priest. You get high rolled or low rolled by priest. Win or lose your decisions don't matter. That is only getting worse this expansion.

I love the kids that just hate priest and think that actually "teching" the darkness into their decks will do anything, do you think it will on your hands every game before the priest gets to play raza? Or kazakus even? Your chance of drawing that card is the exact same chance of me drawing my raza by turn 5 and trust me, with all the turns that's gonna take the darkness to wale up, I'll make sure I have an immediate answer to it, you don't even dilute my deck and my drawings as the cards get casted on their own and then draw me another card, the only thing I have to do is wait until I draw 2 of those cards and my effect is active, and if I manage to play my raza before (which again you drawing darkness is the exact same chance of me getting raza) your super counter gets a lot worse, yes it might be annoying to wait until I can activate kazakus but in this deck raza is the only neccessary highlander activation, I really hope all you salty kids craft the darkness and slap it on every deck just to "beat" highlander priest and then proceed to get rekt by all the priests, this is exactly the same scenario that went on this expansion with skulking geist people just put him in every deck cause it would destroy jade druid... And still kept getting raped by jades in most cases, go ahead craft a golden darkness, be my guest.

It all depends on how long it takes them to nerf Psychic Scream.

I'm guessing less than three weeks.

We'll figure out for sure pretty soon how well the Darkness actually holds up but my fear is basically: can you have a viable deck which contains a "4-mana, do nothing" in the ever-important aggro matchups? If yes, then cool but we found with skulking geist that, while it certainly improved the Druid Matchup, it actually seemed to be a fairly huge liability in most decks when not facing specifically Jade. 

Yeah I'm honestly not worried even if Priest does become the Hearthstone killer that everyone is losing their minds about.

 Exactly. Priest is becoming the class that you can least interact with. This is very bad for the game. Especially a game were you can not respond during your opponents turn. 

Played against a priest the other day that had turn 4 Barnes into Y'shaarj into the Lich King at end of turn. In what world do you have an ability to fight against that. At least other decks that cheated stuff out l uike Astral Druid had to dump their hand, and Patron back in the day had to carefully set up for it's winning turn. 

Priest is the new cancer.

I would agree that Rogue's new cards position it to likely be meta defining, especially for slaying priests, but I would argue that Priest will do fine against all classes besides Rogue.  My guess is that Rogue will keep Priests in check, while remaining competitive against oher classes.  I don't think it will be the win-all class however
