Priest always do fine in control matchup due to their card stealing ability
Aggro matchup achanai circle , pyro combos and mysteria is not too bad. And sure they will have new board clear as every expansions
Broken infinite value DK like Rexxar Jaina and Guldan rotating out also help control priest.
I am so glad all of their bullshiit OP cards is rotating out. The classic control priest is a very skillfull and interesting deck to play not like priest decks nowadays
My only real concern is board clear. Duskbreaker might be broken (thought that's only fair against stuff like Frost Lich Jaina and Bloodreaver Gul'dan!) but it does provide that critical early clear possibility.
I'm not sure how Priest is going to deal with aggro early on without it (Tar Creeper is also rotating).
Hopefully they will send priest back towards a control oriented deck style with no wincondition rather than stupid OTK combo decks. Priest used to be my favorite class, but they made the class into an abomination.
Oh nooo, say it’s not so, Blizzurd plz u got to save all the unbearable OTK priest decks. In fact give them even MORE ways counter literally any board and blast 50+ damage with spells or inner fire.

Your reading skills are beyong poor. People are not requesting anything like that.
This is why they shouldn't rotate out 3 sets at once in April. Rather, every four months they should rotate out one set. E.g. the one that came exactly two years' prior. Then, each new set would represent a breath of fresh air and we'd see one set leave, allowing more creativity to bloom.
But, as it is, I am thrilled Priests are losing so much. Playing against them is toxic hell. Kill them by turn 7 or it's basically game over. What fun.
I would like more control for priest, and less OTK. Sadly as much as I enjoy playing shadow vision, that's what's making priest so toxic. It makes it so easy to get third copy of critical cards. If it was say "draw that card" I think that we wouldn't be seeing the toxicity that we are seeing now.
Priest WANTS new broken cards, but does NOT NEED them.
In Standard, classes are not meant to stay constantly at the same powerlevel.
In Wild, Bullshit Priest (aka Big Priest) is an obnoxious meta deck because Priest is constantly fed with broken stuff...
So no thanks. As much as Priest attracts my interest, I do not want it to receive more broken stuff in a long while. Especially not Control/Combo stuff.
Not sure if you've noticed, but, Priest is always bad when a rotation happens, they don't get "good/better" until the end of the cycle. This is all by design, the Priest core cards are so bad they need a lot of support to be viable.

How long has Priest been good? Other than this patch I haven't seen priest since pre-witchwood... Compare it to others *cough Paladin*
IDK wtf Brode and company were smoking when they designed Priest Classic/Basic cards and Hero Power, so insanely bad compared to other classes. The only priest card that is always good is Cleric, others need lots of support cards to even be tier 2 viable.
Some ppl here are missing the point of the thread.
What i am hoping to see in the next expansion are: 1- cards that can fill the role of efficient and reliable board removal; 2- a win condition identity.
Now that Baku an cya will be gone from standard, getting cards that are not very good becomes much less of an issue BUT we still need both conditions above fulfilled for priest to be playable.

Every class will get new cards...
Priest does not need very good cards the next expansion.
They probably get something that works good by itself ,but will be broken in the next expansions to come.
I for myself am happy to not be worried to be otked by the gallery, or being able to play a Deathrattle minion.
Like Firebat once said: It’s probably the best for Hearthstone if Priest is the worst class.
( He meant probably the interactive way Priests close out games , even tho he likes to play combo decks himself)

Why only Priest , other classes will lose tons of meta-defenite cards too
it is sad, but this is very true.
Rejoice, for even in death, you have become children of Thanos.
Defile, spellstone, bloodreaver Gul'dan, cube, skull, voidlord
Frost lich Jaina, meteor, dragon"s fury, open the waygate
Ui, branching paths, malfurion the pestlent, spreading plague
Deathstalker rexxar, wandering monster, spellstone, roq delar.
All the top dogs are losing all their strong cards, priest will be fine dw.
Losing Benedictus won't gut Priest down. This card is a ridiculous Legendary that doesn't bring anything reliable.
I mean, all decks loses cards from three expansions. Why whine ?
It's good that all those expansions rotate for a fresh goal, especially priest, I think it gives more disgust priest than hunter

Druid and Priest needs borderline broken stuff, Druid probably even more so, as they lose as many strong cards but are in a much rougher spot atm.
Warlock, Mage, Paladin and Warrior will be fine as odd/even goes nowhere.
Hunter will most probably survive, Rogue and Shaman, idk.
