tharuissan valens prophet mind blast mind blast and a flash heal + this or 2 flash heals and a mind blast. generally yeah, it will find its way into burst combo priest
I can't help but feel this one is mostly gimmick. achenai is a 4m 3/5 with this effect. so at 2 mana it is really over costed. achenai loses one attack for the effect so at 2 mana you would get an equivalent 2/2, 3/1, or 1/3 but we don't get that. not saying its bad per say. it might very well see play but to be effective I feel it is overcosted.
Only really useful for OTK priest. Gives an easier win condition than using Auchenai and hoping it stays around so that you can combo it with Velen. 30 damage from Prophet Velen, Embrace the Shadow, Flash Heal x2, Mind Blast as long as three cards have been reduced. Should be doable with a stall priest.
I don't understand why people are so down on the "one turn" aspect of the card. Auchenai Soulpriest doesn't last more than one turn if the opponent can help it, and usually they can.
I really appreciate this card for increasing the reliability of a deck that wants to use heals as damage spells. Right now with only two soulpriests in an entire deck it is difficult to necessarily count on drawing one before it is too late. With four heal->damage cards, it becomes much more reliable.
Honestly this could become a FoNSR type thing for priest. Where you have a few cards in a tempo deck that are designed to just close the game, but can also be used to clear the board in extreme circumstances.
Not to mention MUCH better with circle of healing than auchani is.
As for the card, it's a decent combo enable, but requires a dedicated combo deck, unlike Auchenai Shadowpriest, who has pretty decent stats on top. Still, it's a 4 damage AoE for 2 mana and 2 cards with Circle of Healing. That's actually pretty good, but I feel Auchenai would still be run over this.
I don't understand why people this it's a really good card, can someone explain?
Being able to convert healing into damage is a valuable ability, and is the basis for many Priest burst combos. Auchenai Soulpriest cost 4, this card costs 2. It is easier to combo, therefore is better if you want to burst an opponent. It is not better than Auchenai Soulpriest itself in the average Priest deck, however.
I think it's good for control priest too since it gives you the ability to run heal spells for duration that can also double as removal as needed. Run this with auchenai.
for people saying combo, people have been trying to make combo priest a thing for the longest time, this card does nothing to help it, you are still better off running mind blast instead of this and flash heal, less pieces to assemble.

Definitely a card made for some janky Combo Priest. Makes it so you don't need to run Auchenai anymore.

2 mana combo with Circle of Healing for Flamestrike effect...
not bad man... :)
S U P E R !!
The 3rd and 4th Auchenai Soulpriest to combo with Flash Heal, Circle of Healing, Corrupted Healbot, Hero power (Justicar'ed), etc.
Has potential in a midrange Priest deck that already played several or most of those cards

this card is not better than auchenai in general, but it is better in a scenario where you wanna combo OTK people or board clear
Time is money, friend.
Allows for board clears as soon as turn 2 if combined with Circle of healing.

Why am I sticky?
This effect is not worth a card. If it was some kind of token, like a spare part, fine. But this is not a card at all.
it's very good! double flashheal+mindblast+velen+this and you need only 3 cards to be reduced by Thaurissan

2 mana for nothing, I don't like
