I understand that most of you don’t care about Wild, but as a Wild player, I’d say that Raza Priest is already dominating with very few weaknesses. This card would make it just worse.
So punish the entire class over a broken combo which is completely unrelated to every other deck in the class?
raza / anduin is broken together and should not have been compatable, but this card looks really fun and it’d be a shame to see it nerfed

Punish the class that has the most oppressive control deck on wild ladder? Idgaf if the class has to take some nerfs. Wild Reno Priest is why I either join priests on ladder or smash them with OTKs, you can't compete against them with control unless you get super lucky with Control Warlock.
For those familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh a great comparison of Reno Priest is like comparing it to Chaos Control in Yu-Gi-Oh and Razakus Priest in standard is like Chaos Goat Control in the restricted format.

well aggro decks are not a big difference winning at turn 4-5 ... so top crying
I think something people are simply wrong about is the fact that giving your opponent worthless minions is actually good for the priest. I personally think that a good amount of the times, this card will give minions to your opponent that would simply make their deck and draws worse, than better. So the fact that this adds them to your opponent's deck and not your's is actually an advantage. Most of the minions in Razakus priest are strictly good for Razakus priest, so giving them to your opponent will actually help the priest and is an advantage.
Not to mention things like tokens which will vastly slow down other decks. Shaman and all their useless totems and dudes for example. jade for another.
Though I don't think they card will get nerfed. I think they will let this card rock till next xpac, at which point dragonfire rotates and the number of clears priest has is less. They'll see if that affects priest effectiveness in anyway. If it doesn't, then yeah we may see a nerf. To cost most likely.
This card would be better in Druid. They need removal like crazy and it wouldn't go in a deck like token or jade druid. They don't need any more powerful cards for those decks. It's very similar to Recycle. Priest doesn't need any more removal.
This card has way more synergy with priest with all their deck stealing effects. Doesn't really fit druid and would be about as ridiculously strong in that class.
I dunno if this is the right time for this card, considering how much board clear/healing they have already, but I think this is certainly the TYPE of board clear Priest should have. It should be less ostentatious when Horror, Kazakus and Dragonfire get cycled out and Priest will just have this and Spirit Lash for board clearing.
If this gets Bonemare out of everyone's deck I'm kind of all for it.
I dunno if Blizzard is gonna balance a card around how good it is or isn't in Wild.
You do realize this screws up control as well right, preventing them from applying any pressure when combined with all of priest's other answers? Hope you enjoy Razakus Priest stalling the game out even longer using this until they can draw into Anduin & start machine gunning you down.

My thoughts exactly. Wild Reno Priest is a great example of what happens when you just keep pumping out answers and board clears, they end up finding their way into the hands of one of the most greedy control decks ever. A deck that has Reno, Amara, N'Zoth, & Velen, don't need even more answers.
I agree with you that Priest in Wild will get stronger and stronger with such cards. However, the problem is when the rotation hits, Priest loses lots of board clear and strong cards, the class will go back to square one as the worst class in the game. Without strong cards, Priest becomes a joke class in Standard..
When 2016 rotation hit, GvG and Naxx were gone, Priest lost Lightbomb. The class has no strong board clear and become the worst class in Standard.
When 2017 rotation hit, LOE/BRM/TGT were gone, Priest lost Entomb. The class suffered the same problem due to lack of board clear and also couldn't compete with other Control decks due to no winning condition and big removals.
With upcoming 2018 rotation hit, MSG/OldGods/Kara will be gone, Priest will lose Dragonfire Potion, Shadow Word: Horror, and Raza the Chained.
One thing in common is Priest almost always receive strong cards for the Winter expansion to prepare for the Spring rotation.
WIld vs. Standard balance is the big issue for this class.
The problem lies at the bad basic/classic set of this class. Unless Blizz change the set, Priest will keep following such trends...

Why not just release strong cards (like this one) at the exact same time (April) other strong cards (Raza) are rotated?
Four months of insanity followed by weakness makes no sense. Replace strong with strong to coincide with the cycle. Don't buff an already tier 1 deck until they have to give something else up.
Does this really need it's own thread? Pretty sure you could have made your Psychic Scream 2 week nerf prediction in the already existing official thread.
This card is just obnoxiously powerful and I'd just like to make this prediction that Blizzard will nerf it soon after the expansion lunches due to overwhelming negative criticism from us about it. I guarantee you, that will happen.

so much this.. really.. instead of tackling the real problem card they tackle a card that has nothing to do with the new problem.. they really should nerf it before launch it's too op..

This card is so freaking good vs token decks I can say by itself will vanish any shaman deck out of existence forever in Wild and Standard until rotates out.
You can imagine this? A single card so powerful removing a entire class from the game?

That's what happens when you work on a set and just don't see the current state of the game before releasing it
I'm personally not buying the preorder until I see proof that this won't be Prieststone (Psychic Scream vastly improves their worst matchup against "BIG" decks). I regretted buying KOTFT cards seeing as the meta was so putrid that I ended up sitting more than half of it (Pre-nerf) out. Idk, kinda feels like the game is legit dying. Can't get excited for new sets anymore.

Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.

i'm realy worrying about health of the guy who designed this card :X
They didn't nerf Entomb. Why would they nerf a board clear that gives the cards to your opponent instead of you?
The Roshambo to Hearthstone. Please be nice. Don't insult or be mad at someone for throwing Rock.

WHAT THEY THINKING???
