Yeah I've been considering that. In a priest mirror match this could be incredible. Against other decks, however, it is important to value quality over quantity. In general it is better to beat the opponent BEFORE fatigue sets in.
Even vs another priest player it comes to a 50/50 to who draws and plays this card first. I'd rather simply beat them by out controlling the board against them and not worry about fatigue.
And yes, drawing would be pretty important with this card. The question is.. How do we intend to get that much cycle?
The new aoe lifesteal card with northshire/acolyte of pain/circle of healing could create this cycle, but this deck is sounding like a 1tk deck, which doesn't need the extra cards as it already has its finishing combo.
I suppose a potential way to use this is as a finisher.
Play a 1tk priest deck. Use the 4 cost revive card to get your malygos/Prophet Valen back and then try to 1tk them. If it doesn't work then play this card and also have a lategame.
Maybe that's where it has most potential?
Nice against control, but against aggro is terrible
Yo dawg, I heard you like decks. So we'll put your enemy's deck in your deck, so you can meme while you meme.
Card Draws for days! show The Curator who is BOSS!
its actually not that good, this overall makes your deck less consistent everytime. Its similar to prince malchezar, and will see little play.
BS card, cancer priest next meta, they dont want players play priest cards and just steal other heros cards they should've get rid of Priest hero for ever.
Fuck Priest.
Wow...
Priests Death Knight: Cards from your oponents deck costs 2 less mana
I feel like Blizzard underestimated how strong Gadgetzan Auctioneer plus Jade Idol was going to be in the control meta. And now they have to make cards like this and Dead Man's Hand for Warrior to make other control decks even somewhat viable against Jade Druids. Not fatiguing is definitely an upside, but you are adding so much useless crap to your deck by doing so. Same reason why Burgle Rogue never worked, synergy between classes, besides the Meanstreets families, is hard to come by. You might as well run Mind Vision, Thoughtsteal, and Curious Glimmerroot while you are at it to try and get more cards to help out. But in most cases you will just have a bigger, worse deck, than your opponent. Even if you play this immediately on turn 7 you are getting what? 20 copied cards? Added to the 20 left in your deck. 40 cards you still have to draw and find uses for, before just dying. Fun card, but not competitive.
this is insane. Especially when you copy the other hero's new hero card and cards to go along with the hero card
Hopefully they move gadgetzan to the hall of fame or something, jade idols will just farm decks like these.
Wait... what is a Cataclysm boss doing in a Lich King expansion?
Because his raid was in Northrend
T6: Hemet, Jungle Hunter, discard your entire deck except Archbishop
T7: Archbishop
"Who are you?"
"I'm you, but stronger."
"-Oh, look, we added some good control cards for warrior!
-Wait, let's add some dogshieet for priest to outfatigue warrior no matter how hard he tries?
-Sounds like a good idea, let's fvck warrior!"
I hate this card. It's worse than jade idol. Control decks has almost no chance to win against this crap :S
I hate it too, but it's not worse than Jade Idol. At least this card will give the priest a bunch of randomly terrible draws. Jade Idols ensure you have good draws forever.
also did that person not look at dead mans hand where warrior will literally never fatigue
If fatigue matches become commonplace can be counter to meta, but other than that only meme value, and maybe friendly matches with abuse of mechanics...
A theorycraft I made for the bishop , you will need to draw fast to make this card work IMO
Archbishop/Lyra Combo Priest
