The problem I see though is this: other than being slow in general, how far down in your deck are you already when you have the chance to play it? Setting aside Elise the Trailblazer for a moment, you can't discover a spell if your deck doesn't have any.
Adding in Elise could mitigate that, but now the combo is super slow (especially depending on when you've drawn/played her) and that much more complicated. Plus if you draw the pack card too soon, you're still in the same boat as if you hadn't even played her at all.
its nuts in casual so you don't loose to everything before you pull of your crazy combot15
Do you have a hard time making it to turn 8? I don't and my priest deck isn't even that great. This is pretty good in a spell heavy deck. Priest spells are pretty good at removing things. I don't see the issue here.
Forget about 1 turn combo, just run this card and Raza in a no duplicates deck and that is it, when you play the hero you heal 2, gain 5 armor, remove a big minion and a weak enemy minion and have a least 4 damage for turn after that, it is solid enough, don't need to ruin you Raza/Kazakus play trying a crazy combo.
So not the weakest deathknight... there are obvious OTK plays... but not the best and not my favourite... so playable... if I get it I'll keep it but I'm not in a hurry to craft it.

This probably will be the only card for highlander decks in this set, bad for standard players who craft Kazakus...
For those who haven't seen the reveal stream and are curious about the mechanics, discussion, emotes, etc.
Looks like I get to craft the highlander package - I never opened either raza OR kazakus. Feelsbadman.
I'll absolutely be crafting this card though. Priest is the only class I really play seriously. The golden version of this card will be SICK, mark my words!

This is what I am saying. The combo is cool and all but this is an EASY 4+ damage every turn to what ever you want with juuuust raza. It's really really good. For example. Hero Power > Holy Smite > Hero Power > Mindblast > Hero power > Any 7 cost card or less > hero power. This isn't some ultimate combo. 15 damage and three cards. Hell lets say NONE of your cards did damage, as long as you can play three of them that is still 8 fucking damage in 2 damage chunks you can spread out.
Just need to get to end game. Lets not bitch about how it's bad against aggro, lets build a deck that can get to where it needs to go.
Mmm i'm scared by the otk potential of this card... Wild is even worse with Emperor Thaurissan. Don't forget how much dmg can be done with Spawn of Shadows.

Basically thats the problem, Priest didnt get any support (only 1 rare left to be seen) rest is trash tier. Its pretty hard to believe that a deck that is like Tier 3 maybe 2 atm will go up to tier1 after set release while getting mostly bad cards.
Unless that last rare is not a onedrop of tunneltrog powerlvl i cant see priest on tier 1. And this card doesnt change the early game problempriest has.
They just couldn't have it destroy minions with 4 or more attack. The hero power would have been great if it let you either deal damage when you target your opponent's board and heal when you target yourself. I don't really care about the refresh aspect of it.
In standard an easy finisher would be (after Raza) Hero power + Prophet Velen + hero power + mind blast + hero power = 22 damage for 9 mana. Throw in 1 holy smite and you can do 28 damage on turn 10

I am not going to pretend to know what all of the priest issues are. I will say this though, my very anecdotal experience is that I have problems closing a game. This helps. Also I disagree with you on priest cards being trash cards. Personally I feel obsidian statue is amazing as well. Eternal Servitude I think is strong, and I am reserving judgment on the 3/3 lifesteal. Lifesteal is one of those mechanics that seem really simple but can have some pretty far reaching potential. We don't have many with the current set of cards and we have none in priest. I find the idea of healing my face and leaving my hero power to healing minions with lifesteal up to potentially be very good. The 2/2 for 2 is also not terrible for early game. Lets not forget there are lot more neutrals coming that could also help priest early game, it doesn't HAVE to be a priest card.
No offense but no one has been 100% correct on calling cards prior to an expansions release, I am not going to take anyone ones word for it on how good something is or isn't.
Hero power still costs 2 buddy. If playing with raza you would need to run duplicate radiants which doesn't synergize.
True, but only duplicate radiants and then you would only need to draw one before playing Raza. That being said this isn't a combo I would even go for myself, I don't think it's necessary. Hell this could make those crazy Lyra turns even crazier with just raza. Hell even without raza.
Love the cards effect and I've been so excited for the priest death knight at the edge of my chair since the trailer released but I'm a little disapointed in the card art, I was just let down it wasn't the dark shadow beast as seen in the trailer. Rather it looks like a cosplaying void walker and it's very bright for a SHADOW card. All that aside I'm super excited to play this card in all its glory.

Yes the hero power does have infinite damage potential with Raza the Chained, 2 x Radiant Elemental and 2 x Shadow Visions.

my favorite la croix flavor is lime
if only Archmage's Apprentice
1. Raza the Chained
2. (Radiant Elementalx2 + Shadow Visions) = infinite damage
