Interresting, especially since it deals damage to ALL minions. Especially in aggro-decks often this will be unplayable, IF they manage to draw this card. even then: priest have a LOT of minions ABOVE 3 health, so if the minions are at full health, it will not affect him as much as the enemy. Especially good since it only affect minions, NOT the hero himself, so no SMOrc-damage to facehunter/secret paladin.
seems good actually against aggro mainly.. an aggro deck drawing this card instead of face damage card cna win you the game specially late game.. this card is better than it seem.. it's not really a drawback.. unless you are going for fatigue.
I think this is a good card. I didn't read it all the way and thought it was really good, then ok, now I think it's good. Sure you give it to your opponent, but priests generally succeed when they can clear the board. It's great against aggro and then pretty good in fatigue priest since it delays the game even if you are giving your opponent 1 card. It might even work with Entomb and Reno Jackson to make fatigue priest a thing.
I don't know what deck wants this? I might be ok against aggro but its downright dumb in Control Mirrors. I already hate playing to Fatigue and it seems like if you're playing this in your deck that is your whole plan.

Not really: althrough Control will benefit maybe more from it, it denies them too from a card draw. Priest is one of these decks that doesn't fill up the board necessarily, so it does not effect as many minions as the other side of the board. Also it denies them of card draw too. Also if they play it, he gives the card back to the priest.
It's an interresting card and a very good AoE; and Priest is one of these classes that lacks an damage based AoE outside of Lightbomb.
I can only see one kind of deck where this is viable, but it's not really viable for ranked yet.
And some of the cards for that deck type are still missing. There are to many "buff cards" needed to make it viable that it becomes unviable to 95% of all decks.
I'm of course talking about some sort of deck with this card and Circle of Healing and Holy Champion the other two cards that get destroyed by this card but might be viable if their defense was raised above 3. Light of the Naaru and Northshire Cleric. It would probably require some of the following.
Not trying to be a debie downer but with more cards like Dart Trap and Sacred Trial are win more cards for hunter and paladin that make them do even better as aggro and have a easier time against control.
A strictly worse Hellfire. For +1 mana my face is save from damage but instead I give my opponent a card?
After Entomb I am kinda happy that Priest doesn't powercreep all the classes.
If you're playing against a deck like Face Hunter or Zoo, Hellfire is a really good card and in those kinds of decks, being a hunter or zoo, a Hellfire is bad because it clears your own board so Its like a Hellfire except you get the upside of them giving them a dead draw at some point in the future. Still probably bad.
I actually really like this card. Dealing 3 damage to your board will usually be irrelevant since as a Priest you will have 1 or 2 big minions that will survive, whereas 3 damage will clear the opponent's board most of the time. Yes, you give them the spell, but
1, They might never draw it.
2, If they draw it, it will still do more damage to their board than yours 90% of the time, so they won't want to play it.
3, If they do play it you will get it back again.
I'm not sure if it will be constructed good, but the difference between Holy Nova's 2 damage and 3 damage can be pretty big.

Huh....
Hmmm....
I can't judge this card. It is so weird. I guess it can mess up your opponent's draw against Aggro, but weird.
So disappointing. A 5 mana Hellfire with a drawback? Ugh...
Stop aggro? Better play Deathlord on 3
WTF is this? I'm not even sure it's worth drafting in Arena.

Suppose it screws Aggro's draw and avoids hurting yourself like Hellfire?

It is not bad, but not sure if good enough.

This card isn't that bad, the board being wiped is probably more valuable to the Priest and they also have the tools to recover.
It clears the board and denies your opponent a draw. It's really, really good.

More anti aggro, i welcome this.
