i really dont see any way this considered as a priest counter, priest can counter him with several spells + it will awaken in priest turn which makes it more useless againts priest.
It specifically counters highlander priest decks by adding three matching cards, so Kazakus and, more to the point, Raza won't trigger their special effects until at least two of the candles are drawn.
Omigod I'm so f*cking stupid, I never even thought of that. I was just so preocuppied with its efficacy vs. Jade Druid. Man, this card is pretty sweet, hope it's not another Skulking Geist.
People think this is good in mill because you can make it not dormant pretty fast, but it will still be removed right away after it becomes non-dormant. It does not get charge, and therefore can't attack before Your NeXT turn. Most of the time it will be a dead card, and when it actually Works, they will have a hardremoval saved for it.
Guys, this just delays Raza and Kazakus, he can just keep playing until 2 candles are out. And this thing will be dead by then, either by the DK or PW Death. It slows down his game a little, but counter? Hardly.

Right, so he can't play Kazakus and Raza until, on average, the last 10 cards in his deck. That's a huge advantage.

shuts down raza till he draws 2 copies of the card it shuffles into his deck, and it's in turn 4, shuts down the deck, also decent card if you want to control the board for a long time and you run a lot of recruits/removal, good in warrior, druid, none raza priests...
i focued on the body
YEah I see what you did.. but the point is to ruin raza priest, which will probably be dominant.. also it's a cool card..
it's not good in aggro though.. it's 4 mana "do nothing, except ruining raza"

If you don't take a Kazakus in turn 4 and a Raza in turn 5 you have a good chance to win the game, Razakus only is extremely strong when played all pieces in curve, what happens in 95% of the time.

The delay is exactly what a lot of decks need. I would totally put this in my prince rogue/zoo and mulligan hard for it and try to play it on turn 4 to cock block his raza on 5 or kaza on 4. And the 20/20 doesn't even matter...we know it'll die to DK or PW..it's not a win condition and shouldn't be...think of it as icing on the cake IF somehow it survives.
HAHHAHAH GET REKT RAZA TRASH!!! I will craft the golden version of this card, because golden tears are the best tears!!! Now I can play on the Wild ladder, and have a chance against all the priest n00b trash there /g
Shadow Word: Death is a card. You know that...right?
I don't care about the 20/20, but rather the battlecry to counter Reno decks in Wild, and Raza Priests :)
This card will be in all my decks, until the Raza trash is not played on ladder. Also, since I play Wild much MORE than Standard...this card is amazing for me
At first I thought it was cool but it wasn't especially playable then I realised it counters Raza and Kazakus
BEST LEGENDARY.

So i guess if you get this from evolve you just lose a slot on the board...
So, how exactly does this interact with Brann Bronzebeard?
Somewhere a wild mill rouge player is laughing maniacally
Big Game Hunter Oh noes meta breeekingcard
Wait it awake then play Spirit Echo & Greater Sapphire Spellstone, just in case your opponent have removals.
Add two Murmuring Elemental, two Coldlight Oracle and Ice Fishing for search them, and you have maybe something to do in a deck.
i hate that logic aka low cost big backdraw (4 mana 7/7, fel reaver)
