They see me purifyin' They hatin'
I see this used in a deck with Ancient Watcher x2, Eerie Statuex2, and Shadow Madness x2. Combos I see that are simple and very possible, are Turn two Ancient Watcher, Turn three cast purify on it and draw power word: Shield then cast it on watcher for attack on turn three with 4/7. Then you can also turn four Eerie Statue into purify on five. My favorite is Shadow madness on turn five with coin or just turn six, then purify the minion you stole. That's pretty much "turn six steal an enemy minion with atk 3 or less, give it charge" + cycle. You keep minion if it survives charge attack.
Also, this buffs the already existing statue / watcher silence deck, because now it has two silences instead of just one. It's also a spell so can be used with priest of the feast. A deck like this might actually use Onyx bishop + resurrect, as well. It would most likely save the sunfury protectors/ argus for late game and try to fetch silences for watchers / statues in early game, then resurrect them in late game and taunt them up with sunfury or argus.
I feel that most people aren't giving it enough thought.
The reason I agree with the card today, but not yesterday, is because I had a dream last night in which I played with this deck, and it was actually kinda fun.
Not sure what kind of control cards would be in it. Most likely blademaster too and circle/ auchenai. Flash heals.
You can even silence an auchenai if you need to heal.
Dangit, i was informed that silencing a shadow madness minion returns it to enemy side. Has it always been that way? Wtf!
if you silence ancient watcher you get a 4 mana 4/5 draw card and it isn't close to good
Thought experiment: take any unplayed card, increase the cost by 2, and give it 1 card draw. Hint: it'll still almost surely be unplayable.
Purified Rager: 5 mana 5/1, battlecry: draw a card.
Purified Yeti: 6 man 4/5, battlecry: draw a card.
Purified Shadow Bolt: 5 mana spell, deal 4 damage to a minion and draw a card.
Interestingly enough, Hammer of Wrath is basically a Purified Darkbomb, and Shiv is a Purified Moonfire. HoW is garbage, Shiv is only used (sometimes) because Rogues already run Auctioneer lots of Spell Damage minions. Novice Engineer is roughly a Purified Wisp, and sometimes saw play in Freeze mage.
New archetype: Beggar Priest
Deck: 28 (1) cost minions and 2 x Purify
How to win: Turn 1 play any 1-drop, Turn 2 cast Purify on it and pray to Ben Brode that your opponent will either die of laughter or let you win.
Now go on and Purify the whole ladder, the sins they made by playing aggro will be forgiven when conceding to this deck
What happens when you silence a 1/1 created by Barnes?
Hey, at least it's good against Arch-Thief Rafaam!
Kappa
Choose one: Overload (2) Draw a card (Purify), Nothing (Silence)
It's still 2 mana to draw a card!
it's 2card combo,
if you have 2 copies of each card in your deck probability, of getting this combo on turn 4 is: 16%(going first) 20.5%(going second)
and for shamans 7/7 probability of getting it by turn 4 is: 41.8%(going first) 46.9%(going second)
and the funniest thing is that even if you get lucky to have it on turn 4, you won't be able to play it - it is 6 mana combo
Priest already has a 0 value silence that works on enemy minions also and no one plays it, why on earth they should play a 2 mana silence that can target only friendly minions? I seriously can't figure out how this card got the green light.
Nerf this card immidiatly! Its too op!
You spent 2 cards and 6 mana to get effect of 1 card for 4 mana, and im not even talking about "luck" that need to get such "combo".
This card is a joke and we should start petition to remove it from the game RIGHT F...G NOW!
Oddly enough, Eerie Statue t4, and then Purify turn 5 is literally identical to playing a Flamewreathed Faceless. Except your deck has 1 less card in it. That's a SLIGHT upside.... then again, the fact you need to draw 2 cards to "build-your-own" Flamewreathed, instead of just, you know.... drawing it and playing it..... makes it really not that impressive.
It also lacks the support cards that Flamewreathed has - you know, Tunnel Trogg.... and it also doesn't fit at all into a curve because priest doesn't have a 1-2-3-4 curve like Shaman does. Meh.
I guess this is Blizzard's way of trolling us because a week ago, when people were all theorycrafting on what the new priest cards are going to be, people kept saying "4 mana 7/7" as a joke like 'Blizzard can't design cards so they'll just give priest something op to make it good again'..... and they gave us that 4 mana 7/7. Sigh.
You do realize that cards get made, tested, and greenlit months in advance, not weeks, right?

In case some are interested there is a petition to ask Blizzard not to implement the card :

If I want to draw a card, there is Power Word: Shield. This is 1 mana and buffs a minion. If I want to silence, I run Silence, which is 0 mana, and is flexible enough to silence ANY minion.
Wtf actually is this card, Blizzard? Are you trying to make some kind of Eerie Statue / Ancient Watcher decks for priest or something? This is just so bad... And it is common, so it will stink up Arena for Priest as well. It's actually quite an insult.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AND IT EVEN COSTS TWO MANA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
