I think people are overestimating the power of this card. It's a cool card. I was hoping that they would add "flash heal" as some crazy spell that was like "restore 4 health to a character (can be played on your opponent's turn) for 2 mana, so it would be like the spell in game and would be a pseudo secret and add micro mechanics to the game. But i digress, this is a really cool card. Contrary to popular belief, priest actually doesn't have that much healing. the 2 from holy nova and holy fire, and light of naruu are the only 3 healing cards you can actually use to target yourself. This card is decent healing, can be combo'ed alright with auchenai. BUT, it's also a dead card most of the time. Priest has decent card draw but you need to run a bunch of stuff to combo your draw (like cleric, pyromancer, and circle of healing). This card is very similar to light of naaru, in that theyre 1 mana healing spells, but honestly I think light of naaru is more solid. The summoning a light warden is useful in more situations than I could think of over the 2 healing. I don't see this being more of a 1 of in "standard" priest decks, and if it is used, I could see it as just a replacement to light of naaru for some decks, or maybe 1 naaru and 1 flash heal
There would be so many problems with a spell being able to be cast on your opponents turn, literally so many problems that would just make it unfun. The card atm is great as it allows for more combos with auchenai and even if those combos are bad it still makes priest a much more flexible class in terms of cards that they can play
he is talking about auchenai, she turns any healing spell into a danaging one and intern benefits from spell damage,why a pro player lost a game goz he has a velened deathlord the auchenai-circled but the circle did 5 damage instead.
Awesome. Absolutely brilliant - just the kind of thing I wanted for priest - a heal to really drive in that its a heal class, as well as some powerful synergistic removal with auchenai. It fills a gap for priest.
Priests are going to be insane. Again ; ) I do not know what is best now, upgraded Hero Power or this card... Maybe both? :) My Velen will be finally glad of his existence.

Wow this card is OP. Malygos Priest here we come.
Malygos doesn't affect heals though?
Soulpriest with Malygos does!

OTK with Maly or Velen is gonna be sweet. Flash heal + mind blasts.
Combo priest time xD
Y'all, I don't play much priest. Do the decks have space for a card like this?
Dont think so, i rather run Light of the Naaru.
Though with Shadowpriest this is 5 dmg , nearly a fireball for 1 mana.
That's not a great question to ask, since the card isn't being added in a vacuum. The entire meta will change.
Doesn't work with shadowform.
Gadgetzan priest looking better now.
I hope this causes Velen to be played more, I really like that card.
He's still too expensive probably.

turn 9: Play Emperor Thaurissan with Prophet Velen, Auchenai Soulpriest, 2x Flash Heal and a Mind Blast in hand.
turn 10: 30 Damage Combo...
a guy can dream...

Holy Light looks bad in comparison to this. Especially because priest has Auchenai Soulpriest
so far happens with almost every ''same level card'' from future expansion that look like ''powercreep'' comparison to basic set cards
(just like Drain Life and new Bash )
