WHAT!? With [card]Spawn of Shadows[/card] it's an insta win condition on turn 6.
It doesn't let you use it more than once per turn. Just makes it zero mana. So strong but not THAT strong.
Overall I think its a really decent card but the Reno deck qualification hurts it a lot and I wonder how often you would need to be using your hero power on a turn where you are using all your mana anyway. Reno decks have a bad habit of not curving out well and having extra mana open already. I think it could be very strong with Auctionmaster Beardo however.
The question is, does the discount stick around even if your hero power changes? Say, you discount the Lesser heal and then decide to play Justicar or Shadowform, will they too be still discounted or will the buff be lost?
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.

Reno priest was never a good deck. Priest need duplicates to be consistent. The 0 mana hero power won't matter if you can't control the board with efficient removal and AoE.
They are still releasing cards for this set. And in case you didn't notice, Priest has already gotten more board control/removal cards.
I'm not so hot on this as everybody else is. 1) Priest hero power isn't that good. 2) This doesn't help Dragon Priest at all. 3) The problem with Shadow Priest was never that the hero power cost 2, it was that it had no support in terms of other early aggression or good enough "incidental" heals to back it up - things like Ivory Knight rather than just a Flash Heal. You have Priest of the Feast now but you can only include one.
Singleton decks are inherently weaker than 2-of decks because they are less focused, and less predictable to play at a high level. Renolock decks were good because Reno gave you ridiculous amounts of draw power. Ping your 4/5 for 2 (even for 0 mana) is much less strong than a Renolock essentially drawing free cards (no health) for 2 mana.
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's not broken.
Edit: You also need to at least draw your second Shadow Form before you play this or it doesn't trigger.

People actually assume this is the first legendary ever for priest that is playable lol
Vol'Jin got something to talk as well!
and yes we know this card is very good (especially against aggro) but how good is it gonna be against control matchups with a lot of high statted minions (hello goons). How good is it gonna be against minions with stealth that will sneak out one or another minions of yours without really getting value of it (hello lotus). At least this card forces the meta to be slow
Why am I sticky?
I have a feeling Kodorider will make the reno priest list.
You thought 1 in 4 totem RNG was bad in Shamanstone??
Well get ready for Total RNG in RenoPriestStone bois!!!!!!!!
broken?
Did anyone notice the DUPLIACTES typo??

seems like we know now for what was Auctionmaster Beardo
Because of this card, I imagine Highlander Priest can withstand the Reno rotation.
Exciting card :)
Oh god it changes everything!!
Confessor Paletress is now playable! Auctionmaster Beardo is frightenig with any inspire effect and playable as good combo finisher!!
META DEFINING even is reno is out of standart.
People vote for meta defining, yet they forget this guy only works if you go highlander which is not very good for priest.
