As I said, the card is far from terrible. But how many times are you in fatigue with the monkey? how many cards with cost 9-10 do you play in your deck? 3 out of 30? (and i'm being generous, my usual Priest deck doesn't run cards above cost 6, except Nzoth, if i'm playing a nzoth-oriented deck).
The problem with priest is that you're usually dead by turn 6 if you don't have exactly the right initial hand. For the 3-4% games that actually reach fatigue, entomb is usually enough to be ahead in fatigue wars and win anyways, even considering the random Rafaam/Onixya from the monkey :)
Anyway, i'm excited to see it in play, i really love priest and i'm sure i will give him a try. But I fear it will not be enough (except some crazy combo with Beardo appears, we still have to see the rest of the spoiler and the opportunities of the new meta).
a mighty Wallet Priest will come and lead the meta, very interesting
And a Counterfeit Coin
You can with Kabal Courier
You can discover it with Kabal Courier.
This.
Then, Paltress,HP, Beardo, 0 mana Silence then HP Again.
Thats a combo, for 3 cards and 10 mana, that gives you 8/8 of stats, 4 heal and 2 random legendaries...
Woah....
OTK Priest is back! Hit Embrace the Shadow, Coldarra Drake, and Raza the Chained with Emperor Thaurissan and you can OTK your opponent with the hero power on T10 lulz... Or even just Shadowform earlier in the match then hit just Coldarra Drake and Raza the Chained with Emp and T9 OTK them.
u know Coldarra Drake is a mage card right?
Who is Raza, and why is he chained?
HOLY SHIT SHADOWDRAGONPRIEST IS THE ONLY THING I'LL EVER PLAY
ALL CAPS TRAIN
This card has an incredible tempo advantage even in late game.
OMG, this will take my experimental Reno Priest decks to a level I did not image possible. Love it!
no mention of Paletress interaction.. wich also seems viable
As much as I will like using Justicar Trueheart with Raza the Chained, I was worried about what options would be available when the Standard rotates.
But I just remember that Priest has Shadowform. If you could get both Shadowform and then Raza the Chained, you will be able to do three damage each turn at no extra cost.
I don't know if a Shadowform Priest could work, but this may be the card that could make that kind of deck work.
I was thinking the same thing, but two shadow forms would be duplicates. Still, one shadow form in the mix would be great with Auctioneer Beardo
As long as you have already drawn one of the Shadowforms, your decks have no duplicates left ;))
And in Reno Shadowform decks you always keep Shadowforms in opening hand.
You could technically run some limited duplicates, like how some reno decks operate now. One of those cards simply has to be in hand when it's played to get the effect.
Jeweled Scarab's discover effect might also be noteworthy to fish for shadowform.
And give you Shifter Zerus? Insane tempo imo.
