Look, another tempo loss card, the only reason to play it over Auchenai Soulpriest is to squeeze it into a 10 mana combo in an OTK deck. Priests getting crappy class cards just like in every expansion.
LoE was very good to priest. Entomb and Excavated Evil have been insane in my fatigue deck.
The idea being that you don't necessarily need Auchenai Soulpriest for combo? Cause... I think I'd USUALLY prefer Auchenai over this? Unless I'm missing something.
But you don't always have it in your hand so you can use this instead
Why not? The only reason it won't be vane breaking is cause control warrior exists, but the same can be said about freeze Mage and anyfin paladin, both are competitive. I see this card invoking rage and nerf threads between this card and thaurisan/velen
It doesn't stand out as an amazing card nor a horrible one, I can see situationally where this+Circle will be devastating to your opponent depending on what the meta is like. If it's slower and more control oriented (as it appears to be with all of the cards coming out) then it likely won't have as much of an impact. But it keeps the combo priest around.
In Wild I'm seeing a lot of fun uses for this, Baron Rivendare + 2x Zombie Chow + Embrace + Circle of Healing + 2x Flash Heals for a 30 damage 10 mana combo. If you can get Emperor's discount this costs only 4 mana. There are going to be some fun ways to play with this in Wild.
I'm the millionth person to say it, but unfortunately this will most likely only be used in a combo deck, because right now I don't see any other advantage of playing this over Auchenai Soulpriest.

I think this card might see some play. I think you could include it as a one-of to give you a 2-mana board clear with circle of healing. If used for a board clear this is 2-mana and leaves nothing, and auchenia is 4 mana and leaves a 3/1. Control priest can afford to run cards that only combo with other cards so I think it might fit into that. It will also see play in combo priest obviously.
When I play control priest, very often I haver circle or flash heal but not auchenai to combo it. Or sometimes I have auchenai to manipu late zombie chow deathrattle but don't want to use it. This card makes all these combos more reliable.
This, Corrupted Healbot plus hero power is the same 10 damage combo as Grom + whirlwind, using two cards as well. Priest is very good to stall but sometimes fail to have tools to finish the game, and this card can help with it.
I really think this card will see play, for both standard and wild.
The card has potential in a Reno Jackson - Priest. Also maybe a combo-type priest together with Prophet Velen and Malygos, at least in wild. But in general this card is pretty underwhelming. But it's an epic, so in general these cards are underwhelming.
But it's good to have an alternative to Auchenai, i always hated it that Auchenai alone had this effect, so it's good to have. And that it ends at the end of the turn is also good in some cases.
To people saying it's worse than Auchenai, why not both? You'd run both to make your combos more consistent and to allow you do use the effects more times per game.
Not the most creative card, obviously, but I love it. Gonna be great with Velen and Flash Heal, etc.
Why bother pointing out its an epic? Are these guys saying its supposed to be a premium card because its not a rare? Honestly it does exactly what epic cards are supposed to; its situational and bad alone but when combined with other cards it can be the best card possible to be holding.
We are looking at the crafting costs. GvG had 74 rare, 52 epic. TGT had 72 rare, 54 epic. Now with WoG, thus far, we have 28 rare to 40 epic. Either there's a bunch of Rares coming or WoG is going to cost far more resources than the previous expansions.
It's Auchenai on a stick. Neat effect although quite unimpressive from a novelty standpoint.
I'm not much of a Priest player, so will defer to others' expertise, but...to me this card seems pretty bad.

Cool one, but don't know if i will play it... even if good combo can be done !
Has a lot of combo potential. Will be experimented a lot for sure.
Will it make a deck? We'll have to wait and see.
Massive Yogg Saron nerf. If this goes off first, all those potentially awesome healing spells he will play for you will absolutely destroy you. Woof.
Shut up and take my dust
Have no idea what english is since 1996 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

really really REALLY powerful effect it can make combo priest real broken.. and not only that buy this + circle... wow..
2 cards 2 mana circle that's crazy.. not to mention the burst with flash heal!
Also really good card for a reno priest since you can't run 2 Auchenai Soulpriest(warning: not recomended playing in the same turn as reno)
also works with justicar.. this card is just really strong.
in arena it's weak though it needs synergies you get on constructed..
And blizzard said they don't like OTKs.. this card.. right here enables them in priest!
It's the same effect as Auchenai Soulpriest so we know how this mechanic works by now but the fact that it costs 2 mana is insanely good.

Damn you snowboarders!
Being able to Circle of Healing turn 2 or 3 is very strong to clear the enemies early game, but past that I don't see it being a great tool in priest

Great card. Absolutely great card. Opens up a lot of options.
