Spice Bread Baker, Pandaren Importer and C'thun. You can go the spell voidflayer package. Or since most shadow spells are corrupt, you can play corrupt n'zoth priest.
Totally gonna play midrange n'zoth priest. With Benidictus Cumberbatch and heaps of spell generation. AAECAZ/HAgrIvgOb2AOd2AP+2wP83gPH4QPq4QP54wP76AOe6wMKk7oDr7oD3swD184D1N4D4t4D9N8D+98D+OMDmusDAA==
high inquisitor whitemane and broomstick good enough for paladin, good enough for priest.
It should work depending on the trigger order. When Bishop is drawn in mullingan Cthun might trigger first and prevent Bishop.
same happens for genn and Cthun in wild.
sometimes when genn is in mullingan cthun triggered first and prevented genn.
Keep in mind that Team 5 has stated they want to move away from face damage spells for Priest, so it's likely that the hero power is all you're going to get when you build this deck. There are a few minions that can help you out there, though, so all is not lost. It's not the lost cause some people are making it out to be.
I'm confident this archetype will get some more support this expansion.
weak card, there is no support for this in standard priest, just the upgraded mage heropower is way too weak, even upgraded shadowform would be weak and i cant image Blizz will print like ~10 viable shadow spells
Before people get too down on this card, remember that Odd mage worked as a deck, for effectively the same hero power. I think it's going to be a pretty decent to good deck, especially if there are more good shadow spells.
The big difference is that odd mage had plenty of face damage spells. 2 dmg hero power worked well for the archetype. Priest at the moment has mostly control tools and no face damage. Priest needs a lot of support for this archetype to become viable. Maybe in a few expansions, but not yet.
Shadow has a lot of good spells right now, like insight, raise dead, palm reading, auspicious spirits, and soul mirror. Not all of them would go into that archetype, (which I would envision being a zooish thing, where you use the hero power to help control the board early, and generally don't have a huge reliance on spells) but I'm not sure it needs that many spells to work. In addition, this expansion will probably also bring some synergies to go along with this card, so aggro priest is definitely possible.
The difference is odd mage couldn’t play even cost cards. Serena + ping can kill everything up to 5 health.
Lots of good even cost cards.
that 2mana deal2dmg isnt worth runnin only Shadow spells lmao... weak.
Ok, but 2 Mana deal 2 Damage once a turn doenst kill ..anything except 2 HP Minions.
i expect A LOT more support for Shadowpriest
No. This is batshit op. Odd mage (baku) is a viable deck in wild.
just not running a few spells, while playing even cost cards with better cards makes this way stronger than odd mage.
Ha, Shadow Priest is real.
Keep in mind that you don't even have to run any spells at all to make the effect go off
yeah because preist have so weak spells that they would do that... dude its a spell class. With just minions your deck would suck. Even with spell generators.
Could this work with Baku the Mooneater in an odd deck?
No. One of the Start of Games would cancel each other out.
Only basic hero powers can be upgraded. Shadowform is not a basic hero power.
Shadow priest FINALLY getting some love! I freaking love it.
Insane card, it works well in either a control OR an agro deck.
Zoo priest has never been a thing so far, but this gives you an insane board control tool against other aggressive decks as well as a way to finish off your opponent in the lategame, it's nuts! Priest has some fantastic shadow spells, and zoo decks are very minion heavy anyways, so the deckbuilding restriction really isn't a big deal.
At the end of the day it will still depend on whether or not we get enough powerful aggressive priest/neutral minions, but I wouldn't be surprised if agro priest is a thing for the first time ever this expansion.
