So Prophet Velen + this card + Mind Blast = 10 Mana 20 dmg? From Hand?!? Didnt they tell us they wanted to get rid of this stuff?
Lol, am I missing something? Maybe with the emperor, but he won't be in standard. that's 12 mana son. and unless you're talking about wild they didn't want to get rid of 2 turn OTK combos... just 1 turn ones (unless they were extremely hard to get (like Kun' C'thun)
As someone else said, it synergizes really well with low-cost cards like Potion of Madness as well.
On a related note, 3-drop slot for Priest is SO STACKED now. Mirage Caller, Curious Glimmerroot, and Kabal Talonpriest are all AMAZING cards that any other class would love to have. But they all seem to go into different decks. I'd personally like to fit at least two of them into a classic Control Priest somehow.
In closing, this bad motherfucker should be played for the art alone.
why? completely different scenarios. priest new thing is deathrattle, rogue's mechanic has always been combo. 1 mana card played from hand is stronger on rogue.
I think this card is sick, though without having any 2-drop Deathrattles I don't think it's a curve play so Kabal Talonpriest is still better for proactive options and I think this is really going to end up being a better turn 4-5 play. I'm probably going to just label it as playable until we have a better idea of if this guy can even fit in a deck very well (I imagine it can, but it still seems clunky).

Articles I suggest every player reads to improve at the game;
Probably THE most useful priest card across the archtypes.
Purify Priest: Make a copy, drop it, then silence it. Full health minion. Hope its deathrattle or duration effect wasn't needed.
Quest Priest: Ups the deathrattle rate, and who knows, maybe you duplicate the quest reward like mages duplicate Reno Jackson.
Dragon Priest, Thief Priest: Hold onto your copy of Netherspite Historian. When you have the mana and ready to activate, drop it and this new card. A few turns later ... SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH. Duplicate another to SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH. And we haven't even touched on the possibility of facing another priest to obt- SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH ... (if you've played Dragon Priest vs. Dragon Priest, you know what I speak of).
Spell Priest: Is it possible to get Medivh's staff twice?
Randuin Wrynn: More options for insane possibilities. Although I wouldn't drop this with Noggenfogger on the board ... oh wait, you're doing just that. Good luck!
Shadow Priest: You probably need another heal, right? I mean, Priest of the Feast, Mirage Caller, a few spells here and there ...
Highlander Priest: Kazakus, Brann Bronzebeard couldn't come with us to Standard play. But here is your new friend.
One thaurrissan tick on velen 2 mind blasts and this card and you get an OTK need to have exactly those cards.. or you can go reno and go with embrace the shadows and a flash heal but then you need 6 card discounted.

Unfortunately it summons the copy, not add it to your hand like Shadowcaster does.
I love this card. Deathrattle Priest just became insane. Hopefully there's a big Deathrattle coming because I don't know if Cairne as the biggest drop is enough to support them in standard.

Joy. That's what I get for just looking at someone's comment about Shadowcaster. And before I have my morning coffee at work.
Will reassess in a few hours or so. I would say it still has some uses in Purify, Dragon, Shadowform decks (double Priest of the Feast).

I am assuming the priest legendary is a deathrattle. EIther a big win condition (Probably 6 or maybe 7 cost) or a cheap 2-4 cost card with a strong effect.
They probably don't want priests curving out like a tempo deck. Priest is already super frustrating to deal with as it is. If they could tempo your early game before shitting on your mid and lategame? No thx. Hero-power-and-emote wasn't losing them too many games before the pirate and jade bullshit.
This is super strong. It's like a more powerful and flexible, but less reliable Unearthed Raptor. Unlike Rogue though, Priest actually has the dangerous Deathrattles to abuse it.

Purify value!
When do you people expect Prophet Velen to sit around on the board?
You either play Prophet Velen + Mind Blast and end your turn, then the opponent clears your board, or you play Prophet Velen + Mirage Caller, then the opponent clears your board.
Like...what are you hoping to accomplish with that play? Maybe if Emperor Thaurissan were in standard, but he's not.
Best partners for this guy look like Crystalline Oracle, Shifting Shade, Tortollan Shellraiser, and Cairne Bloodhoof.

another batman? hunter just got one too
Really, really good card. Herald Volazj is crap but this is right for the cost and stats.

The possibilities are really great.
T4 Mistress of Mixtures into Mirage Caller to really screw over aggro decks, for example.
Or T10 Mistress of Mixtures, Mirage Caller, Auchenai Soulpriest, Circle of Healing, Hero Power for 10 damage to face. Don't underestimate burst damage in Priest.

This is going right into my Fun Time Surprise deck.
Barnes, Madam Goya, Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound and now this, combined with a ton of control and every legendary with a decent on board effect
If you got the coin, the Mercenaries get going. Vote for The Mercenary for CCC #3.

If Mage with Pyros gets one of these from Kabal Courier ... Yeesh.

A solid addition to my N'Zoth Priest deck. Hello, Cairne Bloodhoof.
