So I got the quest for playing 50 Priest cards and figured the obvious choice would be Lyra priest. I went and grabbed a decklist online and have gone on a hilarious win streak since. Kicked the crap out quest Rogue, combo Mage, a variety of Shamans, and I think one taunt Warrior all without breaking a sweat. Why?
This card is not okay. It shouldn't be trivially easy to have a 5/5 on turn one that has no downside, but this guy makes it possible. (Going second coin, play him, Power Word: Shield, Inner Fire. Nearly every game I got something similar to this on the first turn or two, and the game spiraled out from there. And if my opponent does have an answer early enough to stabilize I mean I AM still a Lyra deck and can just random my way to victory from there while you're still playing defensively.
