So how is this better than Barnes? It costs 2 more and does pretty much the same thing.
Even stats wise barnes is 3/4+1/1 = 4/5. So you pay 2 mana for +1 attack. Wow.
But you can only have one Barnes in your deck, and this card lets you have 3. Plus, Barnes is only useful if it summons a Deathrattle minion, whereas this works great with minions with ongoing effects because of the solid 5 health.
Also this is a spell and works with Medivh. Mark my words, it will see play.
Man, Lyra got beat into submission this expansion. Only 1 cheap spell released for priests and it's one that hurts your side of the board too. The rest? You don't want to clutter your hand with expensive crap when you're trying to chain Lyra.
Is the card bad? Yeah, pretty much. A 6 mana 5/5 is awful. Sure, you can get a 6 mana 5/5 Prophet Velen or Malygos. You might also just get a 6 mana 5/5 Kabal Talonpriest or Glimmerroot. Once again, the card is just too unreliable for it to be good. It's expensive, it nerfs Lyra and it's unreliable. The card is bad.
I think this card is extremely good More Lyra's, generally more of amy tool box minion would make this card get serious value. I Think Lyra cause it fetchs an immediate answer i mean even if it hits your Northshire thats still a 5/5 that draws you cards this card has some serious value potential. Cost is a little high but honestly for me this is one of the better cards in the set.

I am going to give it a go. I think the issue isn't making the combo work the issue is living long enough to pull it off.
This must be the most situational play I've seen so far and will work like once in 1000 times. But hey, have fun playing this card in your deck and get beaten by anything else in the game.
barnes hardly sees play in priest, no way this will
Don't underestimate the effect having access to multiple effects of the same type. With access to three different effects of this type it could make those dig for Maly/Velen decks more consistent. This card could be pretty scary. Maybe it is just bad, but I'll give it a go. If for no other reason to see if I can make a deck that essentially cheats out bigger late game minions that I can then resurrect.
Probably way too hard to build a deck that can make this consistent enough, just because it is entirely random. Filling your deck with big deathrattles and Y'Shaarj is pretty cute though.
Seems like it's enabling a big priest archetype. Combo that with the new ressurect and it seems good. The question is, does priest want to run barnes, scout or onyx bishop in this deck.
I think this card will be meta-defining for Preist.
6 mana for a 5/5 in terms of raw body isn't the best; but the thing is; Priest can get away far; far better than any other class with running few minions. This card lets those minions go further; letting Preist pull the high value minions from their deck even without drawing them.
While the obvious might be Obsidian Statue there are other cards which are actually great value if this card pulls them. For example; in a Lyra deck; Radiant Elemental is pretty good as a 5/5; being harder to remove than usual; while you still have said card in your deck. A 5/5 Acolyte of Agony isn't bad. A 5/5 Shadow Ascendant is pretty cool too. Dragon Priests would love having extra Bone Drakes. And whatever the Preist pulls can then be added to the pool for Eternal Servitude to pull. Hell; 5/5 Gadgetzan Auctioneer if you're playing heavy spell Priest. 5/5 Bloodmage Thalnos threatens massive heal from Spirit Lash. You can even pull Malygos or Prophet Velen if you're so inclined, and double Mind Blast on the same turn for 20 damage.
I think this will likly be run in every single Preist deck. Not to mention you can dig up copies of this card with Shadow Visions. Hell; this card may even make a new Priest deck on it's own that runs minimal minions and goes for the aformentioned Turn 10 Malygos Double Mind Blast.
In a ressurect Priest it could work.
My magic will tear you apart!
Shadow Essence + Snowflipper Penguin = Turn six 0 mana 5/5 beast on board GGWP
I like this card and I think it's going to be decent
I can see this being played in a deck with Prophet Velen and Malygos.
Just a bit too weak....
Wow an actually interesting Priest card.
Seems really good in a Deathrattle deck, pretty much anything it summons is decent to high value.

46.2% vote playable. How is this card playable? It's just very bad...
way to strong for 5 mana
This spell is fine with any minion that's not a battlecry but a deathrattle or a constant effect.
Use it in such a deck and you consistently summon value.

Is this card not actually playable if you have no more minions in your deck? Or will it summon a 6-mana 5/5 token?
