Is everyone drunk or something? This card is INSANE. It's clear everything, EVERYTHING. Also the synergy to the new elemental is great and if this counts as a one spell, this is a huge buff to Yogg. You could make a big Yogg with this card only.

Turn 4 - Saronite Chain Gang
Turn 5 - Nightblade
Turn 6 - Grumble, Worldshaker
Turn 9 - Shabberwock - it copies himself, deals dmg and bounces back his copy to hand (with 1 mana cost)
Turn 10 - play 1 mana copy, repeat until victory

 

 Grumble bounces all other minions, meaning this won't work consistently. The order in which the battlecries are copied by Shudderwock is random (confirmed on stream).

 Playing a minion from hand has no counterplay...wtf?? And playing a spell from your hand has no counterplay... seriously?? Drawing a card at the beginning of your turn has no counterplay...that's fucked up!! Making a deck has no counterplay...I'm so done with this game!! Opening the hearthstone app has no counterplay...see where I'm getting at? Don't just spam words that don't make sense.

Dude, you are playing for all of 3 months or whatever and don't even know what you are talking about. Current evolve-shaman has plenty of counterplay and inconsistencies it has to cope with - all of which this card doesn't have. e.g. currently, Evolve can be countered by keeping the board clean to minimize its effectiveness. That's a form of counterplay, just like playing taunt is counterplay to minion based aggro decks or heal against burn decks. That doesn't mean you can prevent Doppelgangster+Evolve, but you make it less good. And even before that, you have to play Doppelgangster, a combo-only card, in your deck and need a specific 2 card combo to maximize the effect. So you have to make your deck more inconsistent overall, by including both. The outcome is also fixed, meaning, if you low-roll and get that Doomsayer or 1/1 six drop, you are stuck with it. All of that is a factor of diminishing the cards potential. 

This card doesn't have that, since you don't rely on specific other cards (you can to maximize the value, but aren't limited to it). You can't play around it by keeping the board clear, since it's not about mass evolving stuff (tho you can). It's also very versatile since you can just use a totem for a pseudo-Free From Amber. You can also stop at any point when you get a good minion, so you aren't fixed on a certain outcome like with Doomsayer or a 1/1. By making it a player-choice, you reduce it's RNG by A LOT. It also enables you to evolve into a charge minion, attack and evolve it again - possible to get another charge minion.

Lastly, I don't even have a fucking clue "where you are getting it" since you aren't making sense or have an actual point.

 For an unstable version of evolve, it seems very precise and controllable.

 That is true. 

Should call "Surgical Evolution". :P

 But in all seriousness, those cards are over the line, especially Psychic Scream. This reminds me of Spreading Plague, before it got nerfed, and this one is better. You don't just stall the game, you also disrupt your opponent with their draws. And I didn't say your aggro opponent - No, it will affect every other arch-type as well. This card is only weak in an attrition deck, which the Raza Priest isn't. You care more about bursting down the opponent and stalling the game, until you find your combo pieces; being aggressive was the only viable strategy, because you could rush down the opponent before this moments happens. Just like quest rogue Prep-ed + Vanish, followed by cheap 5/5s with charge. This card is a very powerful board clear, a very radical way to deal with aggro decks, and I'm going to say it out loud - it's nowhere healthy to the game.

Do you really think the current meta - which has since face hunter times more or less been the same (overly aggressive, mindless, one dimensional, low skilled) - is healthy for the game? Do you think that the current meta is healthy? Do you think tempo rogue, razakus priest is healthy for the game? Razakus priest is as mindless and one dimensional as face hunter back then and tempo rogue now. Do you think that the mindlessness of token shaman and bloodlust is healthy? Do you think pirate warrior was healthy for the game as it influenced all other archetypes? 

Let me answer: the answer is no. The meta is not healthy. It is deeply rigged towards aggressive, buff, rush, otk-style, go face is the place decks. It is mindless, dumb, stupid, uncreative, moronic. 

So now you say that the new priest cards are going to effect all other archetypes as well. But are the current rush decks not influencing the meta as a whole? So what is the point? What are you trying to say. That your beloved aggressive play style is in danger? Where is control now? No where to be found in the viability sector because of the so much loved rush decks. Is that balance? No sir. What are you afraid of? A more balance, diverse, slower meta? That is my friend dearly needed.

TL/DR:  Everything that rises the skill floor of meta decks diversified over all classes is wellcome. And the power level between archetypes should be balanced a lot more. The power differential in unfavorite matchups should be way much smaller. There then competition based on skill starts. A control deck vs exodia mage = now insta-concede for the control deck. The power differential is to great.

Crazy this 1984 crap is happening in 2017.  In a country that contains 1/6 of the world's population.

This won't affect me in any way, but it pisses me off.

Why does everyone think it loses durability? It doesn't say it loses durability so until we get blizz clarification there is no reason to assume it loses durability 

Salt threads like these is why I play hs. People thought the Druid dk was garbage, thought spreading plague was mediocre, thought skulking Geist was a jade hard counter. I admit, I was a bit worried too. "Have they forsaken the jade?" I questioned myself. But nope, jade is back and as strong as ever after being absent too long due to quest rogue. I love rolling through people with my unstoppable jade army, and for every roper there is an auto-concede so I don't even waste any time. Keep crying you babies, I'll be eating popcorn from Legend. 

Druid DK hero power is "massively imbalanced"? Hmm...

*looks at Druid DK card reveal thread and the dozens of posts in there about how garbage that DK is

Something doesn't seem right...

I think the ultimate problem is the Rock, Paper and Scissors aspect of Hearthstone, any competitive deck in the meta stats only ever eke out maybe an extra 5% win rate no matter what the tech cards they use, no matter the innovation and creativity.

Basing that the game only has very few deck archetypes that are consistently capable of pulling off that extra 5% over a coin flip, it sucks that most of the rewards have to grinded out by playing those 5% odds. It's even worse when some games can last literally 2mins whilst others last 30...

 

I don't have gold and I don't have dust. But guess what I do have? Jade jade and more jade. I'll be jade goleming for a while until I grind more gold, and all you whiners can suck on that.

What I want to know is: Is "throwing" your weapon equivalent to destroying it?
