For everyone comparing this card to the Dark Cultist I would like to point out that (except the obvious battlecry/deathrattle swap) is say "give to friendly minion" not to "random friendly minion". IMO that gives a lot more control over the effect making it more powerful than our old Naxx friend.
With Dragon priest, you will often have a minion on the board at that point, with control the a 3 3/4 isnt terrible if if it has the opportunity to make a good trade for you.
what the fuck is wrong with you blizzard. fuck you and your stupid overpowered card concepts
"Stop printing good cards" basically what you are saying
Here i am, thinking about using this with Twisted Worgen to guarantee its effect...
There are plenty of whirlwind and random ping effects to kill that card on turn 2.
This card is not power creep. It is worse than dark cultist. Unless priest gets a good two drop then this won't be a good card.
how is this worse than dark cultist??? As dark cultist was random and could be played around???
This card can be as easily played around.
I disagree, it's often way better than Spider Tank but in the worst case it's equal to it. And remember that Spider Tank is out of standard. This is a good card.
Yeah, a 3/4 for 3 in a class that higher Health on low drops matters with extreme upside on a battlecry is "worthless" ....
And I will post again, Brann Bronzebeard > This is a pretty strong turn 6 play, nearly guaranteeing Brann will live for a pretty long time or force the opponent to use ultra premium removal against him. A 2/10 on turn 6 is a little bit of a pain for a lot of classes to deal with.... especially when he threatens to value the Hell out of you with his passive in the coming turns.
Unless you can give yourself health, this card is going to be way too situational since you'll be fighting for the board by the time you want to play him. Blackwing Technician does a better job.
We'll see what other cards they have for Priest though.
Blackwing Technician isn't as situational as you think as Dragon Priest always has enough dragons to make sure you get its intended effect. Even if you don't have a dragon in your hand immediately, you'll probably have one by turn 3 as long as you mulligan properly.
Dragon Priest only has a few early game minions to speak of right now that are 1 and 2 drops, which include Northshire Cleric (probably the best scenario for this card to get any use), Twilight Whelp, Netherspite Historian, Museum Curator I guess and the most likely to survive would be Wyrmrest Agent but you're not going to get cheap minions every time. Since Priest doesn't have the ability to lay out early game minions since they're mostly 2 drops, I can't see these vanilla stat cards making it to turn 3 very often. Maybe there could be some experimentation to replace Power Word: Shield? Even so, this card still costs way too much since that 3 mana keeps it from comboing with the big stat lategame/midrange minions where Priest has its advantage.
I suppose this card would be good on turn 4 in combination with a Northshire Cleric. Hopefully your opponent doesn't have a board clear or cheap removal by then.
I guess this card would be good for Arena. Constructed is what I'm talking about.
SON you are wrong.... this card is strong as fuck.
And dragonpriest has LOTS of early minions nowadays, you actually mention them all: twilight drake, northshire, netherspite historian, museum curator and wurmrest agent.... that is 1 third of your entire deck that is made of very good minions, and they all have higher than average health for cheap minions (except muserum curator). And i would like to mention that you can actually play all the above in the same deck because they give you a strong early game while the curator and netherspite prepare for late, which means you dont need no late game cards in your dragon prist anymore.
This cards power lvl is 10 out of 10, very close to being one of the best cards in HS. And i can assure you if you have to play a 3/4 without getting the bonus then thats totally fine
This guy, dark cultist tentacles, shield, divine spirit, they're making it so hard for us wild players, how can we squeeze all of those hp cards with just a 30 hp limit on our health priest decks XD.
