shadow word pain has your answer
Not quite the Lightbomb replacement we were hoping for, but still a robust early-game board clear. Shame we are losing Shrinkmeister. Would have been good combo potential
I plan on playing a lot of Wild, but it's sad to see my favorite deck get eviscerated by Standard format.
Wow it's really good card. And this is just rare! It's 4 mana)) My favorite is priest. And i very pleased))
p.s. - Hello for all lovers aggro decks! ~__^
Eadric the Pure+Shadow Word Horror if it is possible :P
Pyro+ Equality still better and possible. :)
I think it is good card for every matchup. Killing Acolyte of Pain, Imp Gang Boss, Shielded Mini Bot is important without giving any value. Especially; when Holy Nova, Lightbomb and Excavated Evil doesn't do much to these cards. Priest isn't a speed class so, it is not so important to use Shadow Word Pain instead of this for control matchups.
I just don't get why they release cards like this and excavated evil in back to back seasons, they play the same role except this one is better... Don't want to release OP cards let's just make duplicates.
controldecks have minions like acolyte, keeper of grove, doomsayer or whatever you can kill with it, its not useless :D
since 80% are playing aggro in the first weeks of new seasons, it has alot value..
Shadow Word: Dust
Sadly Shrinkmeister leaves Standard
Stand against darkness counter :^)
Funfact: Priests are pretty good matchups for Murlocadin, and this spell can generally kill 0 of the deck's murlocs.
That card artwork though. RIP murlocs.
People be like: Priest is a very reactive class with lots of removals, but needs tempo gain minions to be viable.
and Blizzard be like: MOAR BOARD CLEAR.
This spell combined with Shrinkmeister can kill Ysera, C'Thun's Chosen or many other powerful minions. Can also destroy a zoo combined with Cult Apothecary but will not be very useful versus control deck (still has some targets Deathlord, Armorsmith, Acolyte of Pain, Doomsayer, Validated Doomsayer, Northshire Cleric ...).
It is not a bad card.
take my upvote you filty animal :D
