Very good card! You get 2 less attack than Blessing, but being a T3 buff is very nice, and you can compare it to Mark of Nature to see just how much better this generally is. And if Priests get more spell damage, that could be a very useful effect indeed...
I won't use this card in current priest decks. 3 mana to get +2/+4 doesn't seem to be very useful, and priest don't have too many uses for spell damages. Maybe there will be more cards from expansion that will make this one good.
The spell damage might even be negative because of the Auchenai-combo, but it can be such an huge tempo swing for the priest; Turn 1 Chow, Turn 2 coin+Dark Cultist, Turn 3 Velen's Chosen... and you have a 2/3 and a 5/8 on board on turn 3.... that's huge.
Also with this card together with shield and divine spirit this can may actually make inner fire useful.
Spellpower as a priest... not really, because we don't have many damaging spells. It's even worse with an auchenai-circle since it destroys her too (except you buff her with it, then it's good). But who knows; maybe we need in the next expansion a 5 damage-aoe
The only other damage-spells we have is Holy Smite (3 damage might be nice here), Holy Nova (there it's a HUGE BUFF), Holy Fire (5 damage is often enough here, so not extremely useful) and Mind Blast that nearly no one uses.
OOOOOOOOhhhh, ok i forgot this card. 2 3/6 +1sp oozes on turn 4/5 can be devastating, with shield even 2 3/8 +1sp.... and inner fire... ok this might be too much combo for it.
Oh, yeah, it can also work the Mark of Wild + The Black Knight-esque combo with Shadow Words + This as well. The Echoing Ooze combo could also be very good, turn your Holy Novas into Flamestrikes.
This is zoo good in Arena. Priest just got their version of Blessing of Kings. The stat buff is already decent, and the Spell Damage is a nice little upside for a class that really likes their removal.

If Priests get any more attack spells that's going to be quite nasty. As it stands, I think it's another step in the aggro priest direction.
Super value buff card. I like it a lot.
hmm.
Nice card for those late game Nerubian Eggs. :)

This card shits on Mark of Nature and Blessing of Kings

A step in the right direction for Shadow Priests!
Can Malygos just be good in mage decks already ...

I would pay 3 for +1 spell damage alone lol.
I Designed A Card This Week
Turns River Crocolisk into Archmage. On turn three. Seems decent in Arena.

This could be interesting with Echoing Ooze.

Nice card for playing on your opponents' minions to enable Shadow Word: Death and Big Game Hunter.
With Velen's Chosen and Shrinkmeister, I wonder if some Priests might start running two Pain's and two Death's.

Echoing Ooze With this gives you 3/6 minion (x2) with +1 Spell Damage each by turn 3... yea, this is a good card.
T5, you mean, since the Ooze has to be played that turn for the Battlecry.
Ah damnit, you're right. Or T4 + Coin :P
