As a card, it's cool, playable and I like it. Thematically, it sucks. It's a BUFF card with shadow art/name?
And where the hell is the Shadowform support? I've been waiting for it since TGT was announced to be centered around hero powers, but I guess I'm in for a disappointment again.
I plan on playing this with young priestess. Turn 1 young priestess, turn 2 this, for a 3/2 and a 2/3. Turn 3 Kabal Talon Priest and you're off to the races.
Blizzzzzzzzzzz! Have u forgotten how priest works? How you designed the Basic and Expert set. This is not Druid/Shaman/paladin. Where are my Shadow Priest cards.
You are just trolling us by writing Shadow on card's name.]
this card is okay. It's not that great.
people are just seeing Perfect draw - Northshire - Shadow Ascendant - Kabal talonpriest. There's no aggro priest archetype. this won't happen consistently and it's bad on it's own. Radiant Elemental is the best 2 drop and nothing else will be cut for this. However, this is super good in Arena.
The card itself is just a "normal" one but with the plus of the nice trigger at the end of your turn, but actually I don't really see it fitting in a Priest deck. If is played on curve after a turn 1 Northshire Cleric is for sure a strong play, but outside of that scenario I don't really see it so good.
So this is sort of like Hunter's T1 Beast into T2 Razormaw, in terms of tempo value, except Shadow Ascendant will snowball hard if not dealt with immediately and there is no tribe requirement. Also Northshire T1 is a lot harder to deal with than most Hunter 1-drops. Since this is a 2-drop and not a 3-drop and fills out Priest's curve nicely, I expect it to see play.
Preemptively saying I know that +1/+1 and Adapt are not the same thing and 3/2 stats for 2 is not the same as 2/2 stats for 2.
Mehh this won't beat radiant elemental. This would be better in other classes.
I see this more of a 3 drop, play it, buff it with power word shield. That way radiant becomes a 3/4 or if you have a cleric also, it could be 2/4. That or behind a taunt later in the game.
I think this card is pretty damn good overall. Might not be up to constructed level though. In arena it's a powerhouse if you can protect it with other minions/pain etc. Shattered sun cleric was already very good, tho I suppose its more proactive than this card.
Turn 1 Northshire Cleric turn 2 Shadow Ascendant is 10 stats on board on Turn 2; with potential to draw later from your 2/4 Cleric; and further snowball.
Turn 1 Elemental into this is 8 stats on board with a card added to your hand when the Elemental dies.
Also Priests have this little card for 1 mana called Power Word: Shield which can easily make this a 2/5.
This is going to be run 2 of in every Priest deck; and for that reason I voted Meta-Defineing. If you cannot deal with buffed Cleric+This quickly you can just outright lose.

T1 Coin Shadow Ascendant into T2 Shadow Ascendant. Good luck, everyone not playing Priest.

Pretty good 2 drop

northshire cleric turn one and then this on turn 2 seems a pretty good play now, pretty sure this will see alot of play, decent card.

Essentially a 3/3 for 2 on the turn you play it with a minion on board, and a must kill. Great in arena, a maybe for constructed

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
Handbuff Priest incoming?
My magic will tear you apart!
arena, but also fleshing out the 2-drop spot for Priests, which is good.

Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.
... and also a little bit in the translation process ..!
