I must say I am not so happy with the direction that the cards for Priest show so far (deathrattle focus + "clone"). That is just a personal opinion of course. The thing is I´m also not so sure what direction I would like.
I am wondering what you guys think of the cards so far? And do you like these kinds of cards going forward or rather see something else? What would you hope for, for priest?
Other than that, compared to the other classes, the priest flavour and originality is somewhat lower. But we've only seen 5, there are 5 to go, and in all honesty, they're solid, good cards (other than Cloning Device).
I really like Death Ringer, I think it might push quest priest out of the meme realm and into competitiveness. Experimenter looks super cool and its one of my favorite cards but I think it needs better synergy to be consistent, right now the only amazing combos are Eggs and Voodoo Doll (which is a terrible card for Priest otherwise). I really don't like the legendary spell, I simply cannot imagine the deck that uses it.

I feel that also the legendary spell is mediocre at best. I once tried to make dollmaster dorian work in rogue with roll the bones. That also gave me a bunch of 1/1 deathrattle, but i still always lost.
But maybe the spell shouldn't be in a deathrattle deck, but don't see another deck where it would fit in...
Priest needs at least 1-2 more 1 to 3 Mana minions, preferably a mech with magnetic. Something like 2 Mana 1/4 Magnetic Taunt, or 1 Mana 2/1 Magnetic Lifesteal, or 3 Mana 2/3 Deathrattle Summon 1 Goblin Bomb.
I think some of the cards are pretty good, like the cheap mech that draws another deathrattle. That outclasses Loot Hoarder specially in Awaken the Makers. Plus I'm happy because Quest Priest is the only quest I own, might be it sees more play now.
Are you just saying as a priest player you don't like the death rattle angle?
Yeah, although I don't think so much the deathrattle alone, but togheter with the cloning it doesn't feel amazing to me. I loved lady in white and chameleos for example (to bad LiW doesn't really work).
O well I understand the theme and all and I'll probably enjoy myself along the line (or play more highlander priest in wild :-))
Cloning Device should costs 1 instead of 2. I don't think anyone is going to use this card. Reckless Experimenter is a very cool card. I have no idea if it's actually good but the theorycrafting side alone makes this card very fun. Omega Medic ... I don't know. Having to hold it till you are at 10 mana really is a burden. The body is good but the effect just makes it not very good. Dead Ringer is nice for quest priest. nothing more, nothing less. Zerek's Cloning Gallery is very disappointing IMO. It's basically a lost turn 9, which will often cost you the game. Just like how Temporus never worked out.
All in all it's a decent reveal so far but unfortunately it's really like most previous expansions where priest get's random cards with cool effects, like Lyra the Sunshard for example. I rather have more cards that work together for priest.
So the new legendary priest minion [card]Zerek, Master Cloner[/card] gives me a bit of hope for priest. It's still deathrattle but it's a nice way to keep board presence. You could combine it with reckless experimenter and some small spell like power word: shield.
Let's see if the other priest cards will spark more ways to play.
Little underwhelming thus far I must say. Reckless seems the best in theory, pun intended. Dead Ringer is really good with Quest of course. Not sold on the legend or legend spell, at least in standard. Cloning Device is just ok, maybe best in a more traditional control priest deck.
In Wild they all seem better. I have an absolute blast playing Weasel Priest in Wild. I just love playing that deck. Dead Ringer will be an absolute autoinclude in that deck. A nonrattle draw a Weasel card is just what I need in that deck haha. And possibly the legendary spell could work too. More as a play after throwing Benedictus.
Priest needs at least 1-2 more 1 to 3 Mana minions, preferably a mech with magnetic. Something like 2 Mana 1/4 Magnetic Taunt, or 1 Mana 2/1 Magnetic Lifesteal, or 3 Mana 2/3 Deathrattle Summon 1 Goblin Bomb.
Priest is not going to get mechs. Only hunter, warrior and pally will have mech synergies. I would have liked to see a mech priest too tbh.
And we got the new power word card. Don't really like the clone flavor being pushed so hard for priest. We have now the legendary, the common and the epic spell all summoning minions from somewhere (hand/oppo deck/your own deck). I still don't see it. And the quest might be easier to complete, but i don't really see the use of the quest atm ...
Other classes already good or get some interesting cards but priest are in a bad spot right now and the new cards are ok at best.
Dumpster class again?
There is a difference between skill rewarding and dumspter tho. Priest in Standart is just back at his main favour: Rewarding class to play but not for every player
I'm very disappointed. Only 1 card that brings something new, which is Reckless Experimenter. All other cards are either "been there, done that" or just plain awfull. Like Extra Arms (6 mana +4/+4), Test Subject (1 mana 0/2) Topsy Turvy (other cards do this already) and so on.
LOL! OMG! Boyz! U forgot that C`tun is a Deathrattle minion!!! Hello! And its 10-10! & if u silence a 1-1 copy of it it will be 10-10! And we can have 80 health with quest! And tell me please! With all the card how many times can we summon & resummons C`Tun??? JUST THINK ABOUT IT!!! LOL!

I think the 2 awesome new druid cards should be priest cards. It would make way more sense considering they have the "cloning" theme
Reckless Experimenter seems to have a lot of potential. Like cube-level potential.

They don't seem overly powerful, but that one card that sets off the deathrattles looks like it might be decent.
Priest was extremely OP this time last year, so maybe priest is taking a back seat this time around?
It seems like Druid will remain on the top of the pile for a while yet.

Bring back Shadowboxer!
So long and thanks for all the fish.
