So Purify wasn't the card that people were hoping for, and some other classes that are doing really well got some great cards that they probably didn't need. You know what? I'm glad! I don't think Priest needs anything more.

I play Control C'Thun Warrior, and the match up I look forward to the least is against priest. Priest is less about healing these days and more about manipulation. Thoughtsteal, Mind Vision, Shifting Shade, Entomb. And cards like Shadow Word: Pain and Shadow Word: Death are just super cheap removal spells. So not only do your cards get used against you, but your best minions get stolen or destroyed with ease.

Now, is Warrior better against some other classes than Priest is? Definitely. And Priest doesn't do nearly as well against some other classes either. But in the match ups they do well in, they completely dominate. So I think Blizzard was very leery of giving them too much power.

In b4 priest fanboyz comments

your argument is really just... bad.

OH NO! don't give the worst class cards good enough to not be bad with or it might be good!'

we certainly wouldn't want that.

The fact that competitively the Priest has ZERO decks and the warrior has at least 4 completely nullifies your position.

Are you really saying you just want priest to remain shit just because you don't like facing it with your favourite deck? That is so childish and stupid dude. Please, delete this silly thread.

Priest have cheap removal?

lol cause shield slam and execute cost so much and are so hard to activate.. oh wait..

So you don't want priest to be good only cause it counters your deck that is everywhere anyway.. ok..

I know, and those spells are so situational too, and besides they've got a blind spot of 4 attack... Wait a second...

A Warrior player is complaining about Priest's cheap removal? Execute and Shield Slam laugh about SW: P and SW: Death.

Priest is the least fun control class to lose to, but do not pretend their removal is super good. It is highly specific and not at all versatile, unlike quite literally every other class's removal spells.

The only card a WARRIOR can rightly complain about in Priest's arsenal is Entomb, which I agree is gross.

cheap removal, says the guy who can kill anything with two cards for two mana.

Threads like this should contain a Trigger Warning in the top. There are a lot of Priest fanboys in this forum so let's be cautious with their health

what makes us fanboys?

I notice you're looking for a gif for your signature. are you a gif fanboy?

:P

just watch Purify will be the stone nuts and blow all you haters away! Ben Brode said so!

Priest seems like a fine class to me. Perhaps even strong. They have like 3 or 4 decks capable of reaching legend. Viable in tournies? No. But most people are not tourny players. So I don't understand the "priest is bad" QQ. 

the whole "priest is bad" thing is really more like "the decks in the meta are fucking bonkers and priest can't keep up". outside of the standard meta is fine, but when against any tier 1 decks its downright unplayable.

Yeah true, this meta is heavily aggro/tempo dominated and all the priest decks are control oriented and very slow, so I understand how they'd suffer because of that.  

I just feel that the priest current situation is due to how Bliz felt ashamed of printing Entomb when they were high.

6 mana bring opponent's minion back home and prevent not only Deathrattle,

but also other synergies like N'Zoth, the Corruptor, Doomcaller etc...

Well played Bliz, well played...

When people complained about his months ago, there are some fanboys would come out and say "just play around it!"

 Well, you can play around it by not playing good minions against priest after turn 6 (please reread to let it sink in, how stupid it sounds),

just those minions which are too bad to take home right?

Tadaaaannnn, hence the current meta.

Execute is nothing like any priest removal card. Execute can only be used on a damaged minion. It is infuriating when you're sitting with two Executes in your hand with no way to activate them. You never have that problem with priest removal.

 Only a control Warrior player would complain about the power level of priest. What a joke.
