This card is batshit insane when pulled from N'zoth. The only problem is it is competing with priest's dragon synergy and primordial drake is probably better than this card if your opponent has hard removal. So idk. Good card but it might not see play.
and this is bad. It's not even a Battlecry. So, your opponent can play around it and it will be destroying Totems and Fire Fly. I will rate it playable. Lifesteal on a Priest minion isn't a big deal.
Such an insane anti aggro card. Great turn 9 to stabilize. The only question is can a control priest survive against aggro/midrange to turn 9?
Anti-aggro? When was the last time that an aggro deck as arrived to turn 9? Considering its deathrattle effect is more something against Control's late game threats (consider that it also counter Brawl, killing the enemy survivor minion if your opponent won it).
Solid card. Good in N'zoth decks. I think it could make it's way into a wacky benedictus priest too although I think the priest lists we have now don't really want it all that much. There is also a chance that a res priest could use it too. It's a strong barnes target and obviously even better with the res cards.
These are the types of creative 9 mana cost cards that the game needs. No idea idea exactly how good it is, but it is better than half the legendaries already revealed.
This is a example of good card design, very powerful but cost 9, with share the same 10 cost disavantage, you cannot play the minion and use the hero power in same turn.
That said this is a massive boost for evolve shaman deck, the 9 manas minions are not so great from a transform effect now have more one excelent possible outcome.
I dunno if this is as good as everyone is making it out to be. It's a good card to get from free from amber and improves that card, sure, but a lot of the time I'd rather have a 12/12 minion or Ysera. It won't save you against aggro or help you complete the quest, because against aggro, if you haven't completed the quest by turn 9, you're dead. It's a good target to get from barnes, especially with eternal servitude, but that's unreliable. It won't give the needed oomph to push past control paladin in control matchups. It could be decent against mage, but I feel like priest needs more cards on turns 4-7, and by turn 9 you've either stabilized or you're dead. The deathrattle is also a random effect, which means it can easily kill a 1/1 minion if your opponent is playing around it.
My experience is with quest priest though, not control priest, so it could be what more viable decks need. This does sound like a very good N'zoth target, but even that's not guaranteed in quest priest, because you're running so many deathrattles already it may not show up at all.
i can agree with u that Primordial Drake is better, but let us remember that Obsidian Statue is a priest minion, not paladin's nor mage or warrior, and how to make a priest card like this good ?
- 4 attack as a taunt , good for mirror matchups
- Free From Amber target , this minion is the only minion in priest class that cost more than 7 mana, let's not forget how many times Ragnaros, Lightlord shows up from Servant of Kalimos, ALOT, because he is the only paladin class elemental.
Great card against midrange and control decks, reminds me of a shadowverse card which name i forgot (but it had pretty much the same effect iirc even with taunt)
and this is bad. It's not even a Battlecry. So, your opponent can play around it and it will be destroying Totems and Fire Fly. I will rate it playable. Lifesteal on a Priest minion isn't a big deal.
agree

Barnes buff for Priest
It is too slow, or it is just my opinion?
12 wins in ArenA with: Mage and Paladin, first time legend with Rogue
Free From Amber this is gonna show up so much on that card cause it's a class card! and it's one of the better ones
Another card that's not Shadow Priest.

well now we know why Blizz had the balls to print Archbishop Benedictus as their priest legendary.
Since your opponent can usually dictate the trade/deathrattle, you'll probably just steal a 1/1 so I rate this card zero out of five stars.
j/k this card is fucking awesome.

This card is BY FAR better than Primordial Drake.

- Eternal Servitude Target.
- Mirage Caller and Corpse Raiser target.
- good for N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Quest.
- a second reason for priest to run Stonehill Defender in quest, Tortollan Shellraiser and Obsidian Statue
Obsidian Statue can synergize better with priest deck, Primordial Drake viable only with dragon priest.
Great card against midrange and control decks, reminds me of a shadowverse card which name i forgot (but it had pretty much the same effect iirc even with taunt)
Also incredibly strong with nzoth.
