It would be interesting if Priest could reach Warrior levels of control, and not even play a minion for the first few turns, then play a nice 3 or 4 drop and resurrect it when it dies. Or maybe if we ever got Spell Priest with few minions.
Typically I've found most priest decks don't put in really bad minions so it wouldn't be too bad to see one of them again.
Sadly this has no synergy with the other new priest card.
ok interesting card. As stated by many needs to users to careful what they played. If this was a 4 cost or more it would be terrible. However its only a 2 cost so it seems not that bad. Its all about the deck curve. getting clerk when your opponent isn't expecting it and cycle of healing for +2-4 on card draw is worth 2 mana. Or turn 1-2 lose your clerk or bait out an owl(run into it next turn). turn 3 blade master. turn 4 resurrect your clerk and heal for blade master. not bad at all. I haven't been playing priest at all but this is a great card just needs to perfect the curve
You are correct! If it died on your side of the board, you can Resurrect it. It works the opposite way as well - if a creature has been stolen from you and dies on the opponent's side, you can't Resurrect it.
For 2 mana you get to play a copy of a minion you've already played. That's pretty awesome. People play many other cards that have far more RNG to them. Thoughtsteal gets played and it can net you terrible cards -- we just remember the times it gets us awesome cards. This card is all about control though. As one person mentioned, this has fantastic synergy with Injured Blademaster. In fact, don't even bother healing the Blademaster -- let them trade 1 for 1, then get your 4/7 back the next turn (assuming it's the first minion you've played). Priest isn't about rushing anyway.
Since your cheap minions die at the beginning of the game, and in large quantities, it doesn't seem like this will end up being value. Even if you play it after a bunch of better minions have died it's a toss-up. Plus it negates battlecry.
Still gonna put it in my annoy-o-priest deck along with mindgames, thoughtsteal, mind vision, etc.
If you're running Zombie Chow, that's probably the only one you will be bummed out to see resurrected (or Doomsayer of course). Pretty much all other minions cost 2 or more, making it at least even value playing this card. Even resurrecting Northshire Cleric isn't too bad
I guess I'll have to test it. Since priest is kind of a bottom-tier class right now it's hard to tell what effects this will have.
Resurrecting a Northshire Cleric is usually more than not too bad! Having a third copy of it in your Priest deck (more or less) is pretty insane value. I can't count the number of games that losing one Cleric too early and not being able to recover with another copy single handedly lost me the game.
This card could make playing Injured Blademaster (without Circle of Healing or Light of the Naaru) a viable early play.
Warrior proceeds to War Axe, Mage proceeds to Frostbolt, Druid proceeds to wrath, etc.
Only for you to summon back Blademaster without activating its Battlecry. 2 mana 4/7? DAT VALUE.
Nice.
RNG makes this card rather bad.
Especially when your opponent can now sumon even more crappy minions to your board.
Depends on your deck.
its not about RNG. This card bad because you can play it only after minion die, and first minions to die would be 1-2 mana creatures anyway. To take value you want resurrect something like Yeti, but good luck sniping it after all this zombie chows, spectral spiders, totems etc.
Oh, boy.... and we will see a lot of those 1 drops...
No, if you read the card text, it only summons FRIENDLY minions, so everything minion that was on your side of the board. Priest doesn't have so much undervalued 1-2 mana minions anyway. Only drawback could be Wild Pyromancer because he would proc after he was resurrected. But beside this and maybe Zombie Chow every minion has far more value for priest (and heck, sometimes even the chow could be good). Especially getting a third Northshire Cleric can win you the game; more card draw is always good.
With resurrect you have more control over what cards you can get. So you can get a sheep or even a frog WITH TAUNT :P
I wonder if battlecry works with this spell... im guessing it doesnt.
Still, a great control priest spell.
It doesn't, and yes it is!
