How do people not see this is a twisting nether, that doesn't activate deathrattles for 1 less mana? The only downside is that they might draw their big minions again, but that still takes another draw away from them. (Plus possible comboes with the gibberer XD)

nvm

Dragonfire potion is rotating.

Is Randuin not already tier 1?

 But in all seriousness, those cards are over the line, especially Psychic Scream. This reminds me of Spreading Plague, before it got nerfed, and this one is better. You don't just stall the game, you also disrupt your opponent with their draws. And I didn't say your aggro opponent - No, it will affect every other arch-type as well. This card is only weak in an attrition deck, which the Raza Priest isn't. You care more about bursting down the opponent and stalling the game, until you find your combo pieces; being aggressive was the only viable strategy, because you could rush down the opponent before this moments happens. Just like quest rogue Prep-ed + Vanish, followed by cheap 5/5s with charge. This card is a very powerful board clear, a very radical way to deal with aggro decks, and I'm going to say it out loud - it's nowhere healthy to the game.

Do you really think the current meta - which has since face hunter times more or less been the same (overly aggressive, mindless, one dimensional, low skilled) - is healthy for the game? Do you think that the current meta is healthy? Do you think tempo rogue, razakus priest is healthy for the game? Razakus priest is as mindless and one dimensional as face hunter back then and tempo rogue now. Do you think that the mindlessness of token shaman and bloodlust is healthy? Do you think pirate warrior was healthy for the game as it influenced all other archetypes? 

Let me answer: the answer is no. The meta is not healthy. It is deeply rigged towards aggressive, buff, rush, otk-style, go face is the place decks. It is mindless, dumb, stupid, uncreative, moronic. 

So now you say that the new priest cards are going to effect all other archetypes as well. But are the current rush decks not influencing the meta as a whole? So what is the point? What are you trying to say. That your beloved aggressive play style is in danger? Where is control now? No where to be found in the viability sector because of the so much loved rush decks. Is that balance? No sir. What are you afraid of? A more balance, diverse, slower meta? That is my friend dearly needed.

TL/DR:  Everything that rises the skill floor of meta decks diversified over all classes is wellcome. And the power level between archetypes should be balanced a lot more. The power differential in unfavorite matchups should be way much smaller. There then competition based on skill starts. A control deck vs exodia mage = now insta-concede for the control deck. The power differential is to great.

 Very well said, I really hope after the rotation we will finally have a meta where you really have to think to make a deck and to win. I'm so tired of mindless braindead aggro stupidity and quest mages with Ice block.

I think people need to stop looking at this card in the reference of Raza-Anduin combo priest because that will only be around until April and then it's done in Standard when both Raza and Dragonfire Potion rotate out. This removal only works in a combo style priest deck and the only other combo style deck that I could see this being used in post rotation in April is Innerfire Priest. As has been mentioned, this card is not good in an attrition style and typical control deck and priest will need to either get help from other cards to make this card playable in that style of deck or find another combo in April.

I don't want draw totem or Silver Hand recruit next turn. Nasty.

this actually needs to be a neutral card, so aggro can get neutral powerful staples like scalebane, aptches and bonemare, sowhy is this not  a neutral for control decks?

Oh look,another busted board clear for priest

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

 To be fair, Dragonfire rotates in 3 or so months.  Which helps, a bit.

Make that 5.

This is just ridiculous. Flat out ridiculous. Yes, it will cause you to lose the fatigue war, and that's basically the only negative. Besides that, this card is crazy because it doesn't trigger deathrattles and is unconditional 100% board clear. As if Priest needed more board clears or something. Priest is going to be nuts for the next few months after this is released. Everyone said they wanted a control meta and this is what they get. Hope you're happy.

Hemet, Jungle Hunter meta incoming. Time to kill all those 1-3 mana shit cards the priest shuffled into your deck.

This shuts down tokens so hard.

ATM 44.5% voted for meta-defining, which means 55.5% of players have no clue about the game.

This is the most broken card printed since Jade Idol.

The only thing that could keep this in check is the recruit mechanic. If you are playing a deck thats centered about recruit, you would rather have all your minions sent back to your deck instead of being destroyed. We will obviously need some good recruit cards for this to happen.

On the other hand, I can see a silver lining here. Blizz will never make a balance patch for wild, and priests are insanely powerful right now in wild. Maybe this card will push it so much in standard that priests will get hit by the nerfhammer and we will get a healthier meta in wild. Until then it will be prieststone in both formats.

Maybe this card will not on be in every priest deck but it's so annoying to play against it.  Why they make so disgusting cards? And all of them they give to priest.
