Ha ha ha.

Very funny, Blizzard!

Oh, Blizzard, why did you do that to priest? Do you hate that class so much? Is priest the archetype of your badass nightmares as you were little children? 

2-mana-bad-effect-draw a card-if you got a minion (who wants to silence their own minion as a priest?)

I can't believe what you did. I thought, there would be a comeback for priest ... at least a little one, so that it could be _playable_ again ... 

But... at least in Yogg-plays it will be just another card to draw ... wow.

FEELSBAD :-(

I have suggestion to remake Purify (and also Priest of the Feast) without removing or replacing them from the expansion. Priest are in the current meta the worst class in the game (both win ratio or pick ratio wise). To help priest even more, blizzard may want to remake the following cards to revive the once dead priest to become top tier class once again and put the end to community rant of the worst card class for the priest in the whole expansion, as an insulted priest player.

Purify (2 Mana spell): Silence a minion and sets it's attack to 4, if it already has 4 attack destroy it. Draw a card.

Tempo swing for priest, can be used on northshire to become 4/3 if you no longer need the passive (to trade better with zoo/totem golem for example) or destroy any 4 attack minion while silencing it before it dies since priest have no way to deal with 4 attack minions, whilst cycling through your deck at the same time.

Priest of the Feast (3 mana 2/4 minion): Whenever you cast a spell, release 3 pulse that restore 1 health to a random friendly character. If your healing deals damage, it target enemies instead.

Healing version of flamewaker for priest. Healing your hero only is boring (since we already got the 4 mana 3/6 similar C'thun card). It potentially can trigger northshire 3 times (if it is still injured) netting you 3 cards, or buff C'thun when comboed with the latter card. Even useful in OTK control priest with auchenai or embrace the shadow. The 3 extra damage can lead you to clear the board against zoo (instead of using circle of healing), or pushes more damage with flash heal/mind blast OTK.

I hope someone in card making department (even better, Ben Brode) see this and may consider those card to be remade. Bump up and share your opinion about the remake. It matters the most. Thanks

hey i dont know if anyone has asked  this or not... 

but what happenes when you purify a minion you get from the opponent with a shadow maddness.. Does it stay with you?  

i am not saying it makes the card good or anything.. i was just wondering

Quote from estragon_t_f >>

shadow madness is a buff, if you silence that minion it goes back to your opponent.

I can't believe this video is real, someone tell me this is a joke, how this guy can have 27,384 subscribers? I know most of his videos aren't about Hearthstone, but still, what did he smoke?

 wtf? Silencing Abomination for Value? Please someone have to hit this guy

Because this is just what priest needed........

What if you silence your minion from Barnes/Volaj? Does it become like 8/8 if Ragnaros or just stays 1/1?

Quote from Phoenike >>

Oh man.. im so thrilled about next Brode Video were hell tell us how he thought silence Priest would be hidden OP and that this card was made just for this archetype to Buff it, thatll be so hillarious. And how those Blii Devs can tell so much bulshit without even laughing.

Hell if I should official justify such an disgrace of a card in all seriousness i would burst out in laughter after 10 secs.

With Earie Statue you have basically a 6 mana 7/7 you can play already on turn 4!!!!! There is nothing alike in the entire.....WAITAMINUTE!!!!!

I'm not even allowing this crap in my collection, pls make it a reward for class challenge so can I just leave it there, forever Kappa

Maybe this is the future of this card.

How to add image to the body of message? (not as attachment)

I can see this played in a deck with cards like ancient watcher, nat the darkfisher (priest needs a 2/4 and coin nat into this isnt bad).  generally silencing a minion that has had an effect, like cabal shadow priest has no poor effect so at worst it is 2 mana draw a card... at best it can make a 7/7 capable of attacking which previously had text not allowing i to, as well as drawing a card.  People are quick to overlook cards, but this may be fine as a one of or staple two of in silence priest lists.

I think the 1 mana cycle is too powerful argument is a bad one for two reasons. 

1. Combo priest is one of the worst combo decks, so let people use purify for something it wasn't designed for, don't see a problem there.

2. While I'm unsire if 1 mana, draw a card is even too powerful in the first place in priest, you do need a minion on the board and you do need to be able to silence it without hurting it. To me that seems harder to pull off than have Runic Egg die. 

I do think the "people like winning with bad cards" argument is totally fair. Though I would change that to "people like winning with convoluted and/ or surprising strategies." which is not the same thing. Individual cards designed FOR that strategy still need to sufficiently support the stategy.

And that's where this card really hurts for me. If I would build a silence priest deck, I DOUBT I WOULD PUT THIS CARD IN THE DECK. THAT is how bad it is. A 4/5 for 4 mana (Ancient Watcher) is NORMAL. now it requires two cards. A 7/7 for 6 (Eerie Statue) is only slightly overstatted, but now needs a two card combo. A 7 mana 6/6 (Corrupted Healbot) is straight up bad even if it was just one card. Don't even get me started on Nat, the Darkfisher.

The upside is that some of these are able to attack a turn (or two) earlier than they otherwise would have, and that is pretty big. But still. This card just doesn't cut it for the deck it was designed for. And that's sad. Something simple like "Silence a friendly minion, it gains "whenever this minion attacks, draw a card"" would have made it so much better for people who like weird decks, like me.

Which reminds me, Blessing of Wisdom is a cantrip that requires you to have a minion stick, isn't it? That's 1 mana too. So, no, I don't agree with that argument at all,

not sure if this has already been suggested, but what if purify was changed from being a flat out silence to a selectable silence.

What if you could use it to remove a single buff on a minion.  For example, say you buff silent watcher with an argent defender because you don't have your purify yet, then when you draw it you can choose to remove the don't attack part but leave the +1/+1 and taunt in place.  

You could even technically use it on Ragnaros, removing the can't attack but leaving the 8 damage to a random character part.  

could also help with things like when a minion gets humility'd or equality (not they ever really live through an equality but you get the idea).  Your opponent could be a priest buffing with power word glory,  Or if your minions get frozen by a mage.  could be expensive for just one unfreeze but at the right moment could provide lethal or kill the doomsayer waiting to clear a board of frozen minions.  Not having to totally silence a minion and being able to remove a debuff could actually be a helpful tool.

this change could be O/P but it would always require atlas two cards and would remove some (not all) of the situational value of the card.

I propose to replace it with this
It partially solves priests key problem with slow start 

the main idea is to punish aggro for playing all in without thinking

lol this thread

viable in Elise deck. when you get garbage legendaries, silence them and draw another. profit
