If that's true for the game as well then this could be a better card then one would see at first glance.
That would require a whole new UI for looking and picking one from ALL the friendly minions who died. We didn't see them experimenting with something like that in tavarn brawl, so the likelyhood of them making a special UI in level of attention equal to the discover mechanic, is pretty unlikely, especially when this is the only card that will have such an effect.
But they really need to change the wording if that's the case.
Idk Donald Trump plays Hearthstone.
I hear it for any priest card releasing, trump is there even when you don't want him ;)
walter bishop is better
Next Priest's minion will be "tunnel trog", another not bad card that Priest doesn't need.
To me, Resurrect is clearly better than this. Onyx Bishop's stats is worth 3 mana plus the Resurrect effect is worth 2 mana, although adding the mana cost of the minion stats plus the effect equals to 5 mana, it's not fair, it should have better stats. 2 in 1 cards should always be worth more mana than what the card actually costs if you add all the factors, one example being Humility and Aldor Peacekeeper.
Aldor Peacekeeper's body is worth 2.5 mana + the Humility effect is worth 1 mana, adding these factors, Aldor Peacekeeper is worth 3.5 mana, but it's fair because Aldor Peacekeeper is more expensive than Humility.
Also if Resurrect summons Wild Pyromancer, it triggers and deals 1 damage to all minions, which usually is better than not triggering Wild Pyromancer's effect.
If Blizzard kept the concept of the cards but balance it, maybe this adventure wouldn't be such a failure, only a few cards out of 45 seem good, the meta will most likely stay similar to the current one 1 month after the full adventure is released.
Another way to analyze the cards is this:
Aldor Peacekeeper, being a 3-drop, should be worth 8 "points" (3*2 + 2).
It has a 1-drop strapped to it, which is worth 4 points (though probably 3 is more accurate, since Humility's kind of weak).
It has 6 points of stats.
This comes out to 9 points, so slightly OP.
Now, Onyx Bishop. It's a 5-drop, so we have 12 points.
The 2-drop is worth 6 points (again, maybe 5- Resurrect isn't that great).
It has 7 points of stats.
This comes out to either 12 or 13 points, which is right at the point of balance.
Yes, I know that this an over-simplified way to analyze the cards (as well as how OP Aldor Peackeeper is- I main Paladin), and I agree with your explanation. However, do note that this is solely a value calculation, which assumes a very stagnant game, and looks at health, cards and value as one and the same. So while it'll give you a baseline with which to compare other cards, this doesn't take into account on-curve plays and the like. Though now that you mention it, I should probably refine the system some more...
4 mana would have been better since Priest is just really weak right now. Maybe we'll see some better ones. Still playable - good :)
Oh boy, another 4-drop for Priest! It'll fit righrt in with all the other ones.
It doesn't say ''a random minion'', which is really strange, but might be really cool. However, N'zoth resurrects random minions and that's not specified in the card text. Did they explain this in the stream?
Think Summon means usually random minion that died.
If it's discover a friendly minion that died this game, then it would be been great card.
(can be played only after 5-6 minions are dead. This way, it will keep everything stable.)
It is going to be random. The game doesn't have a UI that enables you selecting from possibly infinite possibilities. You could have like, 40 different minions die in a game.
it's a fun card but not a good card. Could be better than Silver Hand Knight on turn 5 and latter or it could be worse. However being better than a card that see zero play in constructive isn't something to boast about
ressurect was never played.. ressurect + fair body (exactly 3+2) wont see play either.. doens't solve any priest problem priest is doomed being the worst class yet again.
Maybe dragon priest got a *bit* better and it's enough for tier 3 deck?
Should've been a discover card.
.
Priest, I'm actually in tears.
Omg! Discovering a friendly minion that died this game would make this card SOOOOOOOO much better. You should be making these cards EleGiggle
Hearthstone math:
Vanilla 3-drop minion + Resurrect = this
I don't know, it's not that bad but it's not what Priest needed.
