Personally I have always loved the idea of Priest's psychic powers, with the ability to control and manipulate the mind.
Why do people hate it so much? I mean is such a good design.
Now in Core set almost all cards related to the "mind control" mechanics for this year have been removed... And I believe the community has certainly done its part to make this happen.

Because steal Priest is basically "I'm too shit at deckbuilding to make my own deck so I'll just use yours instead".
It's RNG but with all the bad cards removed. It's just "I'm going to put in a bunch of priest removal tools and then let my opponent build a deck for me"
Yeah I've always loved the idea, if it went as far to literally stealing the opponents card (destroying their copy too) then I might have a complaint or 2...
I'm hoping with these new spell schools that they really push for a good shadow priest based around the steal mechanic priest has, maybe even one that gets better in shadowform as well, with cards like: 2 mana restore 4 health to your hero, repeat for each time you have cast shadowform this game. Maybe a new shadow Velen, 7 7/7 whenever you cast a shadow spell, discover a card from your opponent's deck.
"Add a random card from your opponents hand/deck" cards I hate because they're just flavoured random generation. The same with the Rogue cards that add random shit from other classes, they do nothing interesting with the mechanic.
I don't like it much in general myself. Madame Lazul is cool, Mindrender Illucia is fun. But otherwise? I think it's a weird mechanic for priest. I'd rather see more random spell generation from their class. I think that's more interesting personally.
I like Khaarj, Serena's neat, I like Initiation a lot, Mind Control is okay. I think there're better ways to do the mechanic than Mind Vision/Thoughtsteal.

People hate steal Priest? since when?
If anything the complaints for Priest are just the resurrect archetype.

Playing against your own cards sucks because either you lose or your cards lose.
Madame Lazul, Mindrender Illucia, Shadow Madness, Mind Control are all well designed 'Steal' cards imo.
