It reminds me of the 4 mana 3/3 with taunt that has its cost reduced by the amount of your weapons attack. It didn't get used for a long time, but I could see this being used by priests to help stem the tide of aggro a tiny bit, or maybe by... Paladins with lifesteal/Truesilver?
Might have some use in the new Handbuff Pally Meta were facing xP

This card is too slow and will most likely not see play. Blizzard are going the slow way yet again with this card. We need impact and value on the very turn we play the card - that's to say we need direct damage upon play.
You win the game by getting your opponent to 0 health, not by going all out fatigue, master chess style.
I dont see how this card is slow in any way, this thing is going to be either a two drop in priest against aggro, or turns your hero power into a "summon a 3/3, and heal target character for 2" In any other deck, it might be bad, but if control shaman appears, that deck could easily have enough healing to justify this.
Nice tempo play for Priest, may help in countering aggro decks at the start. Everything now is limited to how much the meta will slow, maybe this cannot even see any play if everyone go for midrange and control decks.
Only class that can use this properly is priest. However its only good in aggro heavy meta vs control this card is useless.
The problem is i kinda think Priest will just be a bad control warrior in this set therefore i dont think this will see much play.
Priest has received enough tools I think to go in a different direction. Not sure if that direction will be good however. Combo is a possibility, Dragon Priest is actually looking pretty strong as well. Aggro priest? lol okay not likely but we did get some playable early drops.
Really powerful card. You can easily heal yourself with hero power or different cards like Priest of the Feast. A chance to play one or two free minions with 3/3 stats- unbelievably strong and for potential Aggro, and for control deck. Maybe we ll see some kind of Tempo Priest. We ll see soon. But card... wow. So simple and so powerful.
Does it work like Northshire Cleric and you actually have to heal, or does healing for 0 count?
Healing for 0 never counts as healing.
This is a VERY important distinction to keep in mind when assessing this card, since that trait renders this card far weaker against any deck that doesn't hit face turn 1. This could could actually be quite broken without that since it'd lead to truly disgusting turn 1-2s agaisnt every deck, but the healing restriction at max health is a good balancer for it.

Good with Truesilver Champion
With all of these early drops I'm starting to wonder if an aggro/zoo priest is no longer a meme...
Definitely an interesting tech card to fight for board early.

Maybe a tempo priest could actually be a thing?
Aggro priest meta incoming. Combine it with Shadow Ascendant and your opponent will concede on turn 4.

Looks like a pure arena card.
a priest card that don't count towards the limit of class cards in the expansion, brghahgbragrhbgahgrhbrgahghrgab (goes on rambling)
need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
*turn 1 opponent plays southsea deckhand
gets patches. 1 to your face.
turn 2. coin, heal yourself with hero power. play 2 happy ghouls that were in your hand.
*opponent rage quits*
Now i know this is a dream but turns 1-3 handbuff or hero power, turn 4 truesilver dread corsairX2 attack and play 2 happy ghouls
Edit: Free Patches too!
Great card, awesome turn 3 with farseer. Horrible to topdeck tho.
