Long Ago, when naxxramas was new, I made a Spell Damage Warlock. It kicked ass! With all the cheap little damage spells in Warlock and ever since we got Velen's Chosen I've been trying to make a spell damage Priest. The problem I found with Priest is that they simple didn't have a lot of damaging spells without Auchenai Soulpriest. Filling your deck with heals and relying on Auchenai Soulpriest was problematic. Embrace the Shadow alleviated this problem somewhat, but without enough damaging spells and the general low health of Spell Damage minions it just wasn't viable. Enter Street Trickster, great synergy with its high health and Inner Fire. When Street Trickster came out I again tried to construct a Demonologist deck and I found that it almost never got removed thanks to its high health. This Spirit Lash has got me thinking about older Spell Damage minions like Ancient Mage, Archmage, and Frigid Snobold all of which would fit nicely in a Spell Damage Priest. Now if only we had another card with Inner Fire's effect and more Deathrattle synergies. I hope I can test this out again.
Deal and heal, yeah baby. Good against hunters, druids, warriors.
Awesome with spell damage, although I already see people entering vicious loops with auchenais and embrace the shadows... for these two things I'm voting Meta-defining.

IMHO, it does too little damage to be viable. I think we need to compare this to Whirlwind, and whirlwind with spell damage isn't exactly fantastic. The heals can help a bit but I think if you wanna combo this with spell dmg you'd have to cast it at least on turn 4 with Bloodmage Thalnos and that's too late for a 2 dmg aoe in a class like priest. I could be wrong though!
That's Incredible!

sweet, they added lifelink, now waiting for trample ;]
I can't fully agree, simply for the fact that the entire rest of a Priest deck differs from a warrior deck.
It is similar, yes, but will likely be used just a smidgeon differently.

1. Arcane Explosion doesn't hit YOUR minions, Spirit Lash heals you. Objectively speaking (as in you also have minions on the board) they have sort of the same value, but Spirit Lash has an extra purpose.
2. This plus Bloodmage Thalnos and 3 opponent minions on the board does 6 damage to enemy minions, heals you for 8 and draws a card for 4 mana. I think that's a lot of value for the mana cost.
3. "before you look at this card, ask yourself: is Arcane Explosion seeing play?" - The same argument was made when Maelstrom Portal came out. Please learn from your mistakes.
Are you all just ignoring the fact that Priest now has a reliable way to damage its own minions? Mana Geode might actually be a card now. And in Wild, Light of the Naruu/Lightwarden and Holy Champion.

This card is amazing. Think of all the possibilities this has in both Standard and Wild with spell damage minions like Bloodmage Thalnos and Azure Drake being exceptional cards. Not only is this a decent AoE spell, the lifesteal effect could give you a full heal on a full board with some spell damage, making it an easy 2 mana Reno Jackson without the drawback if you're in that situation. Worst case scenario you only kill a few minions but you still get some nice healing! Best case scenario, you get a full board with a [card-gold]Bloodmage Thalnos[/card] on the board, get 24 points of healing and you draw a card. The dream is real boys.
5/5 - An exceptional card for priest - I'm sure it will see a lot of play in many decks.
1 damage is not THAT great, but with lifesteal it can give some nice value with some spellpower on board (maybe now Bloodmage Thalnos will find its way into Priest decks). Problem is: at the moment spellpower is something that is completly lacking on Standard so maybe this new spell will be used more on Wild, imho.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
I imagine this will see play in nearly all priest decks because of how versatile it is and how much class synergy it has.
