Let's not get too overhyped shall we. Remember, Herald Volazj was good on paper and yeah it was and it still is a good card it just doesn't see play.

 

 ??? Volazj was garbage and in fact i've voted it as bad during wotog spoilers.

I feel like some kind of Dragon-Reno Priest would be best. The issue is that Priest doesn't have any draw, so singleton decks are especially rough on them, since they're very dependent on getting the right cards at the right time, and their main source of card advantage is copying cards in the form of Shifting Shade or even the new Drakonid Operative. 

However, things like Azure Drake and even Curator give them a little bit of draw power that they otherwise lack. Not to mention they provide extra early game strength with Whelp, and combo well with the new AOE and Drakonid Operative is just a good card. 

Don't forget that things like Ysera and Deathwing further benefit from this guy, as you can play them and still heal. 

It's a really, really nice card. I was praying that it wasn't going to be a conditional legendary however. Priest legends are always conditonary and this is a very, very tight condition...

I like the idea of Dragon Highlander too, but the issue with any split-strategy dragon deck is that there are never quite enough dragons to keep everything running smoothly. The question is whether running Raza, Reno, and Kazakus is worth diluting the dragon synergy.

Inb4 Priest becomes the 'new' Shaman and people start complaining NON-STOP on the forums w/ MULTIPLE posts  O_o

 Edit:  btw, I like this card and the Priest class in general.  I'm just calling it like I see it.

 Edit 2:  I know other people have already said this.  I'm just a little late to the party  : /

Can play a nice hybrid Reno deck carrying both Forms and CoHs with this. still same old problems but something to help work with at least for fun.

A forgotten card that might need to be remembered is Spawn of Shadows

How good will this card be when Reno rotates out?

A lot of people are going ape shit over these 1-per-deck cards and forgetting that these decks only work if Reno is around.

this card is just crap in arena. 

this isn't even THAT good, "reno" priest is just bad. 

Reno priest suck because lack of card draw in deck.

Mage and warlock have better card draw compare to priest which only can draw thought heal or steal from other. This will make the deck inconsistence

off, some player will feel enjoyable and fun when they have perfect draw but I confirm they will come here open salt threads when they loses to xxxx dominited class

no1 played reno priest anyways and this card is overrated, u lose a lot power by going singles for priest

If you somehow managed to steal Coldarra Drake from mage, and use with this priest card Raza the Chained, that would be guaranteed board clear using mage hero power (which you need sir finley to get...) or to switch your hero power to shadow dmg.

but the issue is, their different class cards, so only way to get the drake is to use Entomb, Thoughtsteal, mindvision, Mindgames ... and even then it's very unlikely you'll ever get the drake.

But if it did happen then a minion board clear is most definitely guaranteed since hero power cost nothing, and you can spam it infinitely on the same turn.  Though using hero power to dmg hero smorcing seems the better option.

You may actually need Sir Finley Mrrgglton to change your hero power to ideally Steady Shot to spam smorc. Though this is RNG and it's not guaranteed 1 of your 3 picks is this hero power. Less efficient would be mage and druid hero powers. Actually priests have a card that can transform their hero power to damage, and there even an improved damage version as well. So finley isn't the only solution though it may increase the odds for going hero dmg power sooner?

Counter against this might be Nozdormu maybe? Or maybe iceblock to delay the fight to kill you off before you kill him off?

Anyway would be interesting to see whether this card will make some viable builds that don't use duplicates :X now Reno has a new friend for priest decks.

I have never liked priest, but this card makes a LOT of "trash" cards become playable. Love it. Well done blizz :) 

Finally a priest legendary worth crafting don't get me wrong confessor and velen were good but this card  outshines both of them. It even  combos with Shadowform

Could it be ... a playable priest legendary ????

Reno-shadow-justicar-inspire-priest future tier cancer derk ?

EDIT: On second thought, I assume this only decreases the cost of your current hero power and that the effect is cancelled if you change it through Shadowform or Justicar Trueheart so you must have a lot of setup for this to be effective. Even if it's not viable it's still a fun card for gimmick decks though.
