Hearthpwn

I think this fits best in Razakus Priest with a dragon package.

You don't care so much about having a board/building tempo, it's all value plays. I have a version in wild right now, not sure how well it'll fit into standard.

Man this new meta is going to be great, With cards like this agro can finally be eradicated as a play style. As a guy who not only loves dragons, but control and big combo, as well as anti meta decks, I absolutely fell in love with this card right away.

The salt from the agro style players has really added to the flavor of my French fries, thank you so much guys =)

Trust me. In the long run non agro metas can only mean good things and increase the health of the game. Might actually make people think and make decks on their own instead of relying on hearthpwn to hold their hands for them. Then we'll see how true skill levels play out.

Trust me.. you're wrong. Wild ATM is a perfect example of a format where aggro is dead. Sounds all rosy and sweet until you realize that your metagame warps heavily around decks that punish control, then goes to almost exclusively OTKs , and you end up with the situation in Wild ATM, where practically every MU is a priest deck warped to beat other priest decks, with a few quest mages, jade druids, and demolocks thrown in for good measure. Not exactly a healthy metagame.

Wild is swarming with aggro in the high ranks, trust me. It's almost perfect for everyone.

 Agreed. There are so many viable decks in Wild that aggro, control an midrange even each other out. It's impossible to prepare for everything. Next to the abundance of cards I suspect another important reason is not a lot of people are playing Wild and certainly not a lot of top players. If decks would get more refined it could be another story completely. Near the end of every expansion cycle I find myself playing almost exclusively Wild and Brawls. For me at the moment Wild is a huge playground with room for experimentation. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

<snip> So my point stands, the classic Wild Midrange Dragon Priest will not play this any more than they would Excavated Evil. Control Dragon Priest is where this card will live. Duh. Considering I've been playing with and against Dragon Priests in Wild since BRM, I know my shit.

 You are absolutely right: I was quite hyped too, but in my midrange dragon priest, this card does not have a place except as a tech-card if there are too many token druid decks out there. But still: it will shine simply because of Netherspite Historian. Getting an AoE, even if it is hurts my own board is often strong enough to deal with some taunts on the enemy board or in general with enemy minions. This and that Class cards have a 4 times higher chance to show up helps priest definitively.

I still hope to see some tool for midrange-decks out there against the aggressive decks: why is there not an efficient way to heal ourself? Lifesteal is such a good mechanic, but useless if there is not a single midrange-card that could utilize it.

Still quite hyped that a control-dragonpriest might be possible now.

 

cool card

If this card somehow makes it into the release I think I’ll just do exodia mage for a few months

Bring on the death of aggro, I happily welcome it. 

Good card, but I don't get the freakout (for standard, at least). It's not going to help the truly oppressive priest decks like Razakus or big priest. When Dragon Priest was popular during MSOG, it was a really good addition to the meta, imo. And that was with Twilight Whelp, Wyrmrest Agent, Twilight Guardian, and Blackwing Corruptor. I don't think this'll be enough to put it into T1 status; it should just be a competitive deck.

Don't get me wrong; it's a strong card and probably an auto-include in Dragon Priest given the lack of other viable 4-drops. But it's not a Drakonid Operative level card where you just slam it down regardless of what else is in your hand. It's going to be a dead card in most control matchups, as well as any midrange game where you manage a strong start.

Dragon priest is back.  And in the small window we get this AND Drakonid Operative, because broken cards will eventually rotate out so why fix them?

This card is obviously insane however it depends how dragon priest is going to look. This card would have to go into a control version of dragon priest. The current best list in wild is very much an aggressive deck and you don't want to be doing stuff like this. Isn't the current dragon priest about building a board, buffing it and blowing them out with the combo? This card is insane in the right deck, but I think there may need a couple more nuts dragons.

Holy fuck...this card is, I am honestly surprised they printed this shit.

Daaaaaamn this card is highly rated by the community, as it should be. Is there any other card more highly rated than this?

Dragofire Potion and Dragonic Operative are soon to be rotated out with some other dragon synergies so not too much worried.
