Primordial Drake is a good comparison in that people were largely underestimating it when it was announced.
Both are different for sure (+1 mana, AoE vs single target, lifesteal, Dragon vs Deathrattle) but I think Obsidian Statue is a very good card. Whether it's playable or not will depend of the viability of Control/DR Priest.
I actually think this could be very close to Primordial in the Aggro matchup, since the current Aggro decks do not use any hard removal at all. Which means you will heal for 4 for each minion that gets traded in. If you are to make it to turn 9, of course.
Considering priest has its own heals, the lifesteal property seems kinda crappy.
The deathrattle is pretty dank tho but for 9 mana...
On the latest livestream it was hinted at that the Priest DK Hero is ShadowPriest related, so the heal might be more relevant than we can see from the current cards.
If the legendary HERO Priest Card costs more than 6 then it will be useless. It needs to cost like 4/5 and hero power deals 2 dmg, heals for 2 ... simple but efficient
This is mediocre. It's so slow and there are better options. Free from Amber followed by ressurect and not this.
Such as? Also it really depends on the deck.
One of my favorite things about this card is that it's likely hood to get pulled from Free From Amber and Stonehill Defender is so high that I am seriously considering not running the card and still being able to play a couple a game :D Now if those cards didn't exist, I would run the fuck out of this card. I love it.
there would be no "meta defining", "very good" and "dust it" if only the pool was reserved to higher than rank 25 players
Right cause pros we have seen get to legendary, even rank 1 legend have neeever just completely been wrong about cards...
you can be wrong about cards like Lyra but please, a 9 mana card with no immediate effect, clearly less good than the drake on its effect AND mana cost (+ not surviving your potions because he is not dragon) , how can this be "meta defining" or very good, its just barely playable and is interesting only in control matchups or if you play nzoth, it is a good card to discover but not to include , and i have 2k wins with priest which was my first golden hero so i think im not too far from reality

# of wins with a class doesn't mean anything. This card is good.

yeah ofc i don't know the class better than someone who barely play it, seems evident, this card is shit and i perfectly argued why. And by the way i love your arguments

ok fine, I'll use similar arguments to yours as to why I think this card is good.
It's good play in your deck
It's mostly playable
It's interesting beyond control matchups
You can include it in non NZoth decks
I have 1500+ wins with Priest so I'm probably right

You didn't argue anything well at all. Not surviving your potions isn't that big a deal for it. No surviving potions is not a great argument. A lot of minions in priest don't survive potions. Oh and this actually can take full hit of a potion and live. Further more it's deathrattle makes killing this with your own potion perhaps even something you don't mind doing. It's far from "clearly" less good. Why would you assume I hardly play priest as well? I am sorry but your arguments are full of assumptions, little to no explanation and completely false idea what makes someone "good" at judging cards. Not to mention Taunt is considered an immediate effect, so wrong there as well. Like I said, many pros have, people who I actually know have a good record, people I know who are very good at the game, people who almost certainly have a better understanding of it have misjudged cards. Why would I take your word for anything especially when you actually don't argue your points well and they are riddled with incorrect information?

I hope it was sarcastic because it was everything but arguments
most of minions dies but not the drake which was the point of my argument, drake is better, kills some agro shit and survive the potion perfectly, it is better in all points and cheaper. your combos with the statue are going way too far, meta is just shit full or cheap buffed minions, you better kill them now than later and you won"t need to "kill your statue to kill something bigger" . as i said it is good to discover, not to include.

just using the same type of 'arguments' you used
Priests have been wanting good taunt deathrattles ever since Sludge Belcher rotated to Wild. Yes this costs more and I'm not saying they are equally strong. But the stats, effects, and synergies are enough to make it a really solid late game card. Yes, sometimes you have trouble getting to the late game and no I am not saying this helps you beat aggro. This is pretty solid vs midrange though and the heal for 8 in most cases isn't something to gloss over.

Great card for quest priest... really for any priest!
Very hard to deal with but pretty expensive as well.

In my mind this is easily the strongest minion revealed so far in the expansion.
Any two of those would make this a strong card. All 3? That's just flat out powerful.
This is going to become a staple turn 9 for almost all priest decks.
this with that heal archetype in wild...
If you can't beat them, join them
