lol you are forced to use this card in the silence priest used in the class battle. the deck includes moat lurkers, so that's another interesting combo for the deck. sadly, the deck just won't be top tier, but it did fairly well against that plate deck.
Purify is overly fine. Not all cards serve the single minded purpose of ladder play nor should they. A good player would see value in this card and a great player would understand its value but simply not play it if they didnt need to. There are PLENTY of cards that dont see meta (i.e. Arcane Shot) with wack cost/value ratio that certainly don't give card draw. So what? Priest doesn't need better cards, what it needs is better deck builders. Unfortunately 99% of the hearthstone community just netdecks so until the top 1% makes Priest work, these threads will just stay the way they are. I hope the last game of worlds is decided by this card. Please game Gods hear my prayers.
I still can't believe this was put in a an adventure mode and not a major expansion like TGT or WotOG.
Dust it into permanent oblivion.
It's only half of an insult. Some of those players in that 99% are amazing pilots but they don't build decks. They tweak a card or two maybe.... priest needs a new build. Shake uo the meta. The tools are there and purify might be an asset.
I would really love to see a documentary about the design process of this card. Even if they are trying to push a new type of deck they are doing it in the sloppiest way possible.

Ben Brode tries to put Purify in a better light, tells us that we almost had a 1 mana version and a version that silenced anything.
Still sucks.
A one cost draw-a-card with the bonus ability to silence the drawback of an otherwise OP card? Still sucks?? Please do tell me more....
Ok...so the 1 mana version still silenced friendly minions, so that makes it sound good, it kind of is, but any situation you would play a 1 mana-purify, you would get more flexibility from playing the 0 mana silence.
That's basically it, the simplest way to explain it, sure, if you build a deck around purify it isn't a bad card, but you would have more flexibility by playing the 0 mana silence...you are basically paying 1 extra mana for a cycle, is it worth it, if you use it on the right target it is, but in most situations, no.
You would run both. A silence priest archetype has never been possible as silence in general is kind game breaking so, like charge, they have to limit it and in light of the nerfed owl, silence priest would probably never happen. But now, with purify coming out with cards like Barnes and Volazj, ancient watcher and eerie statue become runnable. Stuff the deck with taunts, shadow words and play smart and purify could very well bring a new priest archetype to the ladder. Purify is certainly FAR from the worst card in hearthstone but everyone has jumped the band wagon like always...
You would run both
Ancient Watcher? Okay, two card four mana combo that gives you a yeti. Seems good.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Not all values are black and white like that. The synergy of the deck as a whole raises value to each card. Of course that play wouldn't be optimal but I could say the same for a turn four faceless that gets a deadly shot next turn leaving you overloaded. Did it matter he was 7/7? It's how the cards fall...

When a card is so strong that they remove it from arena to keep balance..........
Plz fire the hs devs...
