This is my first card idea for even Priest. It has synergy with the Auchenai cards already in Even Priest and provides turn 1 activity and control. Please let me know what you think.

Too low cost and probably too much durability also.
I wanted to create this thread because I, and I think a lot of others, are very interested in seeing Blizzard give more support to Odd/Even Priest.
For one, I think there is a definite, but small, cult following for Odd Priest. I’m always excited to see a new Odd Priest build (and now even seeing some dabbling in Even Priest now). I think that a lot of people who have not played Odd Priest before might question why you would make a Priest deck Odd. If you have played around with Odd Priest, you know who powerful the hero power healing is. It’s great for control because you can make more valuable trades. You can also bring yourself back from the dead, so to speak, faster than your opponent expects. A lot of the thief cards being Odd also support the control aspect of Odd Thief. I think that Blizzard may be laying a foundation for this Odd archetype in later expansions with cards like Surrender to Madness, Spirit of the Dead and Bwonsamdi. As far as control decks, if Blizzard would release another card that requires you to control the game until your deck runs out or you fatigue, such as Mecha’ thun or Hakkar, the Soulflayer that was Odd, it would be nuts for Odd Priest (I do think that kind of thing will be come a trend for every expansion which is a new win condition card that is nuetral).
So, why would we want to play Even Priest? I haven’t explored this much, but if you wanted to heal very often every turn, then it would make sense to play. More self damage cards like Ornery Tortoise would be be great for Even Priest, except that card was Odd. If we had more cards like this, there would be more incentive to play Even Priest, much like why people play Zoolock by trading self damage for fast cards, then healing with cards like Vodoo Doctor. Also, Even Priest needs one really strong card that gives it support like a Black Cat or Glitter Moth.
What are your thoughts and ideas about Odd/Even Priest and the future of it?
What kind of cards would you like to see Blizzard print for Odd/Even Priest and what kind of strategy would you like to see it support?
i’m going to post some card ideas for Odd/Even priest. I welcome feedback and would like to see card ideas from others.
Blizzard has tried playing with the idea of odd priest with Glitter Moth. I think odd priest could be viable, but not after the rotation. Psychic Scream rotating out will cause severe harm to all priest archetypes.
The t1 contest the board argument is certainly relevant, but far from a final sentence: what about a (0) 1/1 Dragon?
Also, in Wild, you cand build various versions of Even Druid, that do nothing on board on t1, which still have an advantage against the other Tempo top dogs of the meta, including Even Shaman.
Ofc, that doesn't mean that Even Priest is a good deck, but it can be.

Btw, DK Anduin is (8) (but i don't have it...).
I like the idea of the 0 cost 1/1 dragon because Priest has so much Dragon synergy. If you have it in your hand late game, it could be counted as that “dragon in your hand.”
This card would make lifesteal hero power exclusive to Even Priest. It goes along with the control theme of Even cards. Any thoughts?
I like the idea but not the implementation. The minion might be reasonable but the spell and weapon is a powercreep over current and old priest cards. You might need to adjust the cost of those.

I agree the spell, and especially weapon, could be a little overpowered for the cost, but Priest needs some OP power creep right now. Compared to some of the OP stuff other classes have right now, it doesn’t appear to be getting the support it needs. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to start this forum. Good feedback. Thanks!

I made another card today. Please let me know what you think. It provides turn one hero power use, and puts something on the board.

No need for broken stuff at all.
OP stuff is just a lazy design option that makes the game worse for everyone on the long run.
(Even) Priest just needs the right stuff. Subtle stuff that makes the difference. Seance and Auchenai Phantasm are definitely on the right track.
