Now, this what makes me want to play Priest. Very good for a deathrattle-based deck and very fun. I just need to find out more deathrattle minions for the priest and I'm set.
To all the "quest enablers". Have you ever played that deck? You either have amara in your hand for like 10 turns. Or you have to play it by turn 8. A specific turn 10 or 11 setup is just not viable? Vs which deck?
You either need amara asap or you sont need it until long of.
Finally, it is really unlikely to not have you quest completed by turn 10 anyways. You play 2 shadow visions and 2 twilight calls.
Quest priest needs early game stabilizers and an answer to shudderwock. Not a consistent way for turn 10 amara.
Do they even care about wild? Just a little tiny bit? Two absolute shit decks to play against have new tools in wild. Very cool, thank you Blizzard.
Chill, this card sucks in big priest, as has been covered by some others. At that point in the game, your res pool is already good, and at 9 mana, you can do much better things that late in the game (res, eternal serviture, spellstone). Big priest has already reached the critical mass of res effects, I don't think it needs more that don't even bring them at full stats. This card's synergy most likely lies with deathrattles and otk, not resurrect.
With otk, this card is impractical right now. You need to put Baleful Banker in the deck to make it this card not useless 50% of the time, and when this pulls Velen, how are you going to make a copy of it and play two mind blasts? Hoarding or pulling Radiant Elementals as a solution only makes the card clunkier; the deck has better ways to do what it does.
I'm excited to see deathrattle priest this expansion. That's where I can see some value. This summoning a whole board of various deathrattles, some that heal, some that remove, some that create bodies for tempo, some with taunt to block some damage? That would be potentially worth it.
Seems terrible the inconsistancy of having enough minions in your deck combined with what they are by the time you can play this card and its costed high enough you cant really combo it with anything
WOW what a card. It's obvious that this can be incredibly strong, but you really have to work for it. Potentially a new kind of big priest could spawn from this playing cards like The Lich King (or rag in wild) and Silver Vanguard. The most difficult part is being able to guarantee that you hit good minions every time without running the risk of drawing all of them before you can draw and play this 9-cost card. The definition of a card that is very good but probably not meta defining.

for the sake of the game I really really hope this turns out to be bad, we really don't need another bigger and better barnes, we still have to put up with that guy in wild. lol
3 real options here that I can see in theory but fail practically:
1. Big Priest - the cost just really drags this down; also you may draw your big minions before this spell = inconsistancy
2. Quest priest - probably the most favorable match, but I feel like it would need more powerful deathrattles to work; right now the deathrattles in quest priest mainly just draw and generate cards and while card generation is generally favorable, card draw may hurt you in fatigue. Also, by turn 9 there is a good chance you have already completed the quest if you had a good starting hand, or you're already close to its completion
3. Combo Priest - the fact that it depends on cards still in your deck and you can only have one copy of this card makes it almost unplayable (not to mention the high cost of the card)
My final verdict: this card is bad. Its high cost, legendary status (1 copy limit), and dependency on the cards still in your deck make it too inconsistent and too slow to see competitive play

Well It needs some early pressure I know but I guess Zerek's Cloning Gallery fits only a deck like this. I know someone will figure it out to more effective to build this kind of deck.
I hope they made more taunt/deathrattle cards in boomsday that make this deck more effective.

I can't come up with something good you could do with this card. Still a lot of cards to discover so maybe something obvious will be released. If not, i am excited whether someone better than me can find a use...
pretty good for deathrattle decks. Maybe also big priest although you have to not draw your minions. Another fun idea is to use benedictus and then scout out all the cards your opponent has... but that would be a little weak. honestly just seems odd and may need a lot of testing.
I kinda expected this card to suck because of Shadow Visions
This is not a big priest card.
This is a quest enabler. Insta complete and you don't need trash cards for it. With this card,
Lesser Ruby Spellstone is new Hadronox.

I like elementals and totems.
Good in Big Priest for Wild, in Standard it may not work so well.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
Too weak for big priest by turn 9 if you don't have 9 ragnarosses on board you already lost
i play cubelock and lose 5 games in a row then i play odd paladin and get my stars back wash rinse repeat
if you only have deathrattle minions, this does instant complete your quest.... sigh... wtf....

how do you know you don't draw Prophet Velen or Malygos before turn 8 ?

this card is 1/10 at least in standard format unless we will see really crazy deathrattles or a way to cheat this before 9 mana
I've smoked a lot of ganja dust so I'm forever not2fast.
This is kind of what I was thinking of, made this. https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1140689-possible-new-big-priest

It will see experimentation in big priest but that deck would love to have more cards like Shadow Essence instead.
