The new neutral Rush Worgens definitely make Lady in White look more promising. Both of them (and the Pumpkin Peasant) are playable but they are all insanely good after her effect. If there is a couple more good Worgens in the set, Worgen Priest may actually be a thing.
voted meta defining because the effect is the kind you build a deck around, and the kind of deck i think you build around this is will be strong enough to be competitive.

I think she can only be used similar to keleseth: the deck must work on it own, but when you play her, she improves the rest of the deck and, thus, the winrate.
i still can't see how playing this turn 6 is particularly good. building a deck around it seems terrible. it's probably best in a tempo-oriented deck, but is a lousy tempo play itself. maximum impact is that turn 9 ysera or statue, which means you need a heavy top end for a tempo deck. additionally, you need to draw the big minion on exactly turns 7/8/9 in a class that doesn't usually have tons of late game draw. maybe it will be fine to just throw in a deck and hope for the high roll, but i expect this one to underperform.

This won't be put into decks where you "need" to draw it in order to win. It will be put in decks where a high health minion is strong on its own, and this makes them better. You'll probably run minions where this just does nothing (Lich King, Scalebane maybe) and minions where it's might even be a slight downside but it's worth it anyways. It WONT be in a deck that runs a bunch of Silverback Patriarchs and MoguShan Wardens, for example.

i get that. i even said it's obviously bad in decks built around it. i mean, sure, maybe it's fine to throw in and hope for the high roll - plenty of decks have slotted barnes similarly. but even then i suspect this will underperform. keleseth is good because of the immediate early game impact + rogue's bounce effects or warlock's draw. you don't really win games with keleseth when you play him on turn 6. and this positively affects only specific minions. i don't think that getting an 8/8 on turn 9 is gonna win you the game - and again, that's the dream scenario, the best case outcome.
also, i doubt you'd want to run lich king in addition to two statues and ysera in a tempo-oriented deck!
edit: another possibility is that lady goes in a slower control-oriented big priest sort of deck. maybe that's ok.
I like how 99% of players are scrubs who dont know anything about deck building and are netdeckers. This card is trash. But hey you said gnomeferatu and temporus was overpowered aswell and they were shit as fuck.
No one said temporus is OP and you being a deck builder doesnt mean you are good at rating cards, stop trying to be a special snowflake
This card is awful. Can't cheat it into your hand without severely gimping your curve and when it's out, so what? If you drew all of your big threats to hand before you played it, it's a shitty 6 mana 5/5.

Add it for memes but it's garbage.
And what if you draw all your minions before playing Keleseth? Is it a bad card? What if you don't draw your guldan DK? Is it a bad card?
I see many people complaining that this card is bad if you draw it after you play draw your high health minions. That is just dumb. Keleseth is bad if you draw it after you draw all your minions. Are you saying that Keleseth is a bad card? It was one of the cards that were meta defining! And it's a 2/2 for 2 (average stats for cost) that doesn't affect the board when you play it.
Your deck shouldn't rely on Lady in White to win. Spiteful Deck is a good example. She just improves the deck, by allowing your minions to become a bigger threat. But the deck can win even without her. She's not the best card ever, but i think she's pretty decent. And most of the times (since 87% of the percentile are made up, i would say 95% of the times) I played her on turns 6-8, i won the match.

It's the fact that turn 6 is too late that make her bad. Make Keleseth a 6 mana 5/5 and I'm pretty sure it would see absolutely no play. Keleseth is good because you can highroll the game and play it on turn 2 which actually make an impact on the game (and because 2-drop are so bad right now that eh, why not try the highroll ?)

At least The Mistcaller buffed minions in hand too...
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Just toss this into spiteful priest, there's no reason not to

I'm just throwing out ideas, I'm not building a deck yet.

It's good, but it doesn't affect the board and it doesn't affect the cards in your hand.
Take it from a long-time priest player. This is just playable.
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.
And Gnomeferatu saw quite a bit of play as an anti-mirror card.

Lol @ meta defining. Lol @ combo priest got a big buff.
I've seen it played 0 times since expansion hit :)
