Hearthpwn

Gotta admit, I'd be happy to see Purify in the game in an expansion. Purify existing has interesting implications as the 8th card off Yogg, silencing away a powerful debuff or even buff the God of Death gave before you, while more card draw is always good. Also is kinda interesting off Spellslinger/Nexus Champion, it can have some cool implications as a "free" card that's possible draw power you can always use in your Tempo Mage - if Slinger lives to eat the silence... I may throw Saraad in a Warlock deck just for the possibility of taking away Power Overwhelming, for Trolden lol

Fine addition, unbelievably bad timing, everything else has been said about this.

So glad to see the No 1 most annoying-playstyle thief class getting crap cards :D

 You mean Rogue? 

The only thing in need of "purification" is the dev team.

20 pages wow!

They could at least have used artwork that was related to the card's power level.

Mods should pin this thread, the discussion and frustration will never end in at least 1 year from now XD

Damn you Blizzard! Can't balance a digital card game, I would have done that alone within a week, smh.

Let keep this thread going. Is it the most discussed card on the forum yet? The "Card of the Year" title is totally reserved for Purify

I have to rant here for a sec. Obviously this card is bad (possibly the absolute worst card in the game) but I want to talk a bit about Priest. Priest has basically NO GOOD CARDS at all. I'm going to skip over the priest cards we know are bad and talk about some of the cards you may think eh... it might be ok.

Forbidden Shaping: Too Slow

Northshire Cleric: Too Slow

All the Dragon Synergy cards: Dragon Priest is terrible

Embrace the Shadow: Two cards for a board clear

Museum Curator: 1 atk / 2 health (terrible in tempo meta)

Shadow Word Pain/Death: Too slow against things like zoo that spam 4 or 5 minions by turn 3

Thoughtsteal: Too Slow

Auchenai: Two card board clear that damages auchenai to 1 health and doesn't let you heal her.

Hooded Acolyte: Only good in C'thun Priest (which sucks when compared to warrior or druid)

Shifting Shade: Too Slow (stats should have been reversed and the card would have been ok)

Darkshire Alchemist: Too Slow (by turn 5 it's too late for healing against most opponents)

Excavated Evil: Damages your own minions (which would actually be relevant if priest had any minions on the board to begin with)

Holy Nova: Not strong enough without Velen's Chosen

Cabal Shadow: Too Slow (already dead by turn 6)

Entomb: Too Slow (worthless against anything that costs less that 8 mana)

Tentacles: Hahahaha

Any Card Above 5 Mana: Too Slow or Situational

This is an absolute terrible place for a class to be in. Priest decks cannot rely on anything that has a white background on it which is why people are so salty right now. WOTOG completely wrecked priest by removing so many cards that the class needed to function (good 3 drop, good board clear, good bufferage), however I'm not entirely certain priest is much better even in wild.

Honestly, I'm at the point right now where it wouldn't bother me if they just removed Priest completely from the game. Blizzard has a long standing reputation for ignoring it's Hearthstone Community. Seriously how long did druid combo reign supreme before it was removed and how about Dr. Boom (that is still by far the best all around Legendary in the game), or Mysterious Skill?? Do they even test these cards before they release them?

Ok so enough ranting, I'm going to propose a solution (and if Blizzard reads this I'd be thrilled if you implemented this into the game). Put new cards out in sort of a Beta test stage before an expansion is released for a month or so and let people build decks around them and LISTEN to community feedback. Players, during this time, KNOW that the cards are subject to change if they are found not to be very good or completely meta defining crazy (grim patron anyone?). OR you could release all the new cards and their effects to top players who would sign agreements to not release them to the public and let them analyze the impact they'd have on the game and LISTEN to them. See the words in bold Blizz? Even Kripp in his Purify rant said you don't listen to the community! Just some thoughts to help make a game we all love better.

Thanks

Actually it can work in the silence priest deck but the cost is to high it should be 1.. but still it can work maaaaybe :p

 Silence priest did't work before when a 0 cost silence everything card was (and still is) available why on earth should work now?

Do you think that silence priest didn't work because it was lacking card draw and now it will rock the meta?

Honest question: Blizzard do you hate priests? Were you molested by a priest when you were younger and that's why you constantly dump on priest class as a sort of pseudo revenge?

oh wow, the formertopic (warriors complaint)  I had to laugh tears, and now.........tears from crying..
what are you doing to the priests......start playing one devs, and then hopefully you wake up

Comment by UberBaal under Kripp's video about Purify on Youtube:

"If Blizzard had a gun with two bullets in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and the Priest class, they'd shoot Priest twice. And draw a card."

I don't wan't to read 20 pages, but can someone explain to me wtf is this card? How do you even get value from this and why the fk do you want to silence your own minion. dafuq

Total disgrace.

Quote from hogZZZZ >>

Serious question (please do not rage immediately): What about minions like Ancient Watcher that you silence to use afterwards. A 4/5 for 4 mana + carddraw? Or Eerie Statue a 7/7 for 6 mana + carddraw.

 

Still it would be nice to draw at least 2 cards.
