Do priests summon demons in your world?
Unpopular opinion, but this card is rubbish, average stats, takes up a slot from control which is already packed very tightly, trying to combo it with circle heal is unreasonable, reducing the cost of a few cards by 1 will not achieve anything, priests win condition is based on drawing into the correct situational cards, reduced mana cost rarely effects any of this.
Its not that unpopular of an opinion. This whole expansion is rubbish save for a few cards.
GvG was like 10% rubbish, 50% balanced, 40% good.
TgT is looking like 60% rubbish, 20% balanced, 20% good.
GvG had a lot more cards people don't use than you thought. Your comment sounds more like hindsight. GvG was bringing in the mech archtype, which has the least learning curve of all themed decks. TGT sounds like Hearthstone in advance mode. The plays aren't very obvious and may seem counter-intuitive, but they seem to have a huge payoff if done correctly Of course, only time will tell.
saying that 20% of the cards are good (compared to balanced) is being pretty generous right now. A lot of the cards seem like Troggzor, where they look good before they come out, but in reality suck.
You forgot 1% Dr. Balanced ;-)
it is one of those cards that have to be removed or you will fall behind, I really like it and it is a combo with Power Word: Shield
I could see a Priest control deck that runs x2 of these and x2 Northshire Cleric. You play this on the turn you do a huge Northshire Circle combo, draw 2-4 cards (typically) and have them be reduced.
bad, it should be dr boom, then id play it
Cool art with really nice effect, might see some plays with combos, but it's another 3 mana card, so I won't run more than 1 of it.
The art on this is way better than the actual card.
Seems really nice right before a Northshire Cleric + Circle of Healing play, and for one less health relative to Spider Tank you effectively get an Emperor Thaurissan effect. Overall a very nice card, in arena it will be average is its stats are not too bad and if it survives one turn it has achieved an acceptable amount of value.
Cannon Fodder to fill an expansion. I would not use it.
It's really nice in OTK combo priest. In other decks i don't think it will see too much play.
Overall i like it.
northshire circle combo
Should've add deathrattle : Requiem of Souls :p
Right now, priest has a good 2 drop taunt, this might see play because of that card (and that card only, otherwise it is just too slow)
Please stop making 3 cost priest cards blizz, if they didn't use dark cultist when it was the only 3/4 in existence they won't use this for the tempo either.
Truth is that they really used Dark Cultist a lot.
And this card may never be played for 3 mana. If you have this in your initial hand, by turn 3 you may drop both this and the Cultist.
Now that's nice for a third turn :-)
Edit - It seems the consensus is that it affects the cost of the cards you draw when this is in play. Sorry for the reply above. I got it wrong.
Does the effect work in your hand? Because it says "whenever" and there is anoter druid card that works in your hand "whenever you summon a beast cost 1 less".
