This is fantasic against paladins and shamans and F&*%ing token decks in general. Screws highlander if you give them 2 of your own minions, on top of that you can play the new elemental for 0 right after. You can even make a meme deck out of it. All around a neat card. Probably a 1 of in most every priest deck.
I agree with you that Shadowreaper Anduin is the most problematic card here, but I really can't see where you're coming from if you believe highlander priest won't play Psychic Scream. The card is perfect for highlander priest because not only is redundancy of board clears highly effective, making it even harder to ever make a board stick against a priest, but it also covers weaknesses against deathrattles, evolve turns and Bloodreaver turns. The 7-cost just sweetens the deal. There's literally no reason not to include it..
I don't know Razakus just fatigues himself to death when DKduin or Raza are at the bottom of the deck, and fatigue is a really important and underrated factor when playing VS Razakus, I just don't see how a board clear that doesn't actually clear anything but put 5-10 cards in the opponent's deck is going to help here. This card is just suicide against any deck that is built to be able to deal with Razakus, no matter how good it is to clear one board.
Yes Raza sometimes goes into fatigue but normaly even wins there if it stalled well enough, you know that deck even runs Hemet to archieve that goal faster, so its pretty obvious that fatigue doesnt matter here.
The only deck that is built exactly against raza is Questmage, and there this doesnt help but it helps against all other tier1-2 decks.
Wow, Next set is literally just play dragon priest run 2 dragonfire and 2 of this and the 2 4 mana dragons and you will just out control everyone. Otherwise its just more tools for raza priest
What the hell is this card. It's an insane power level board clear. It doesn't matter that they could be played again - they're removed from the board and deathrattles don't trigger.
Compare this with Twisting Nether which costs 1 more. What the shit were they thinking with this costing 7???
Damn you Blizzard,why you pushing deathrattle hunter and silver hand recruit paladin then print hard counter like this in same expansion .Now is 2017 not 2016,priest doesnt need buff anymore

It also is a good clear against Dragon Priest, which is a solid counter pick against Raza. The fact they get a clear that affects dragon is pretty solid.

To be fair, Dragonfire rotates in 3 or so months. Which helps, a bit.
The card is okay but what matchups does it really help with? I would much rather have Dragonfire for most real game states. I guess it tackles a Bone-mared minion or Jades. Card is pretty good, but 7 mana is a high cost for any AoE so it will depend how slow decks get in the coming meta.
Remember when Shamanstone was a thing? When Tunnel Trogg into Totem Golem was an Issue? Shaman was very powerful post LoE - pre-WoToG. That was the end of the "Crocolisk". We are fixing to go through another pre-post phase here at the end of the Mammoth. So the power class this time is Priest? Info
It is a one mana discount on Twisting Nether that screws over your control matchup. With so much AOE in priest already, I don't see this ever being played
7 Mana board wipe that won't trigger deathrattle but causes you to fatigue first, I like this card a lot as long as your playing the game in a way fatigue won't matter.
Putting a bunch of big minions from your opponent's deck into your deck is gonna be good. But that really depends if all these big recruit decks actually materialize.
Priest is my favorite class, but I'm not super excited about this card. Obviously it's a really good card and super OP while Dragonfire Potion is still in play, but in the next rotation it might be too expensive for the main board clear.
Shadow Word Horror needs the Pintsize Potion, the new dragon needs another dragon and priest needs a board clear by turn 5 or at least 6. Turn 7 is too late in many games, even if it's best clear in the game - you just might not reach turn 7.
Unless priest gets stronger in the early game there will be need for another good clear with the next expansion.
All together I think this card would have a better place in the next expansion, when dragonfire rotates out of standard..
the next expansion priest aoe: 3 cost mana, deal 15 damage to all minions and put them into your own deck, destroy opponent deck, kill his mother and win the game if he didnt concede yet.

Fuck this card. Why must they continually print stupid shit like this and ruin the game every expansion?

Are there any minions you would want to give you your opponent? Particularly though costing less than 3 mana.
Ferral Gibberer?
Token cards like Flame Elemental, Silver Hand Recruit and Shaman's Totems?
Totemic Call
Oh look,another busted board clear for priest

Onyxia...but it isn't like priest is going to want to run any dragons to synergize with her.

Does not help you win fatigue. Bad card.
priest is the new meme class
OMG Archbishop Benedictus synergy!
Actually, the synergy sucks. Oh well.

I mean it depends.

Urge to vomit and uninstall Hearthstone rises. This card is busted.
Gorge you hatred, embrace your rage.
