This will serve as the general discussion thread about our class's new arsenal, introduced with the new expansion. Will update as soon as new class cards are spoiled! Bomb away with your comments and may our new class cards be a blast in this new, explosive expansion!
Fingers crossed for the spell that was revealed and lost the vote being a shadow-friendly one with a dmg component! Will also be good for Velen's Chosen to have more valid targets for its +spelldmg component...
Just wait till you guys see the Priest legendary....
We might have to wait a bit, especially if they plan to reveal more legendaries in votes. I have faith in the Light, but not our voting power as a class...
So guys, every class seems to be getting a 2-drop mech, think we'll get one too? Shrinkmeister is an awesome card, but not a real 2 drop since he is mostly meant for combos...
I think Priest did alright. Vol'jin is fantastic, and I agree it just makes sense to have him in any Priest deck as a 5-drop. He works everywhere. Other than that I just see a lot of upgrades for MC decks. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to alter my current deck, if I can make something that looks half decent I'll post it here. I'm really, really pleased though.
Really? I think priest got very good cards. Imo Vol'jin is a staple, Lightbomb may see some play(depends on meta) and Shrinkmeister shenanigans will make our opponents cry...
Comparing that with what other classes got --> we should be happy.
I think Shadowbomber and Shadowboxer were meant for shadow priests. I assume so because they don't really fit in other priest archetypes. Probably they won't see much play though. And i am not really sure what shadow needs to make it viable, probably decreasing Shadowform cost from 3 to 2 could help...
Shadowbomber CAN be used with Prophet Velen and Mind Blast for a turn 10 16-dmg combo (and self damage, mind you Shadowpriest has 0 healing). Still unimpressive though. Shadowboxer does nothing to help Shadow. Vol'jin is a legendary Fire Elemental for Priests. Good and useable, but I'm not losing my mind as most people do.
It's better than Fire Elemental. Because against any control matchup, this guy can grow easily to a 6/8 for 5 mana. + Holy Smite=instant kill. Huge potential. It could even spawn a shadowpriest deck without smite, but instead you could use Vol'jin+hero power.
The other cards are fine, lightbomb is another huge card and is good against aggro just as against control matchups. Shadowboxer is the long awaited awesome 2 drop, which we need and Shadowbomber is kinda crazy, but I like it. Compared to the other classes, priests got blessed.
Priest had some good control. Versus aggro, he is worse than Ele.

Doesn't Velen only affect the damage of spells and hero power? (And not minions such as Shadowbomber)
Because it goes off immediately rather than waiting for a deathrattle. It's the same situation as Loot Hoarder and Novice Engineer. I never said it was a good card though :P

Although not my strongest deck (paly), priest is easily my #1 fav to play. Can't wait to see the epic and leg...
Y U NO COME OUT EXPANSION!

At first glance, I'm unimpressed. Nothing too interesting and nothing for Shadow.

Vol'jin is an auto-include, a Light Bomb seems like a clear replacement for a Holy Fire - bye bye Giants.
Still not convinced about velen's chosen. I like all the other new cards.
Shadowbomber CAN be used with Prophet Velen and Mind Blast for a turn 10 16-dmg combo (and self damage, mind you Shadowpriest has 0 healing). Still unimpressive though.

Velen's Chosen would be fine if Priest had any real damage spells.
Priest had some good control. Versus aggro, he is worse than Ele.

True that with Shadowbomber... So why did they make such a card? In what deck will it ever be of use?
Shadowbomber strikes me as an alternative to Mindblast which gets a body on the board.
Why hurt yourself with Shadowbomber for 1 damage extra than Leper Gnome?
