So the most obvious card to compare this with, is obviously Arcane Giant. The most logical question is from here. Is a 7/8 with Taunt stronger than an 8/8 without? And i would say yes. Yes it is stronger.
Something like Combo Priest will probaly like this card, as they do play a TON of cheap spells. And a low cost 7/8 is quickly going to stablize the board for them. And we all know how strong Combo Priest is, when they have the board.

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
I actually think Big Priest has much better options. Wild Big Priest won't run it for sure. In Standard it remains to be seen if a Big Priest gets viable again and even then I don't think it will make the cut.
I will have to hold my vote. Priest needs this early to mid game to make use of it. Without Lyra or a spell generator, this will be too little, too late. Perhaps, it will synergies with the Troll champion.
it has a really high cost, it's not that overpowered. I'd play just 1 in competitive, what if u get this in the first 5 turns? Useless.
We're also talking about a new meta that seems going to be very fast and very aggro, it's not that bad but lyra and radiant are the only viable way to play this card, and you have to play at least 8 spells to make it viable.
Sorry to say that but I'm not impressed. It's definitely awful for a Big Priest. You want powerful Deathrattles or End-Of-Turn effects there. Spell-heavy Control Priest has better options. Midrange Priests are usually low on spells and mostly play Dragons on curve.
So, the card itself is playable in a vacuum but there doesn't seem to be a deck where it fits.

Big priest Will love this so much
Will be good since priest can play this multiple times mainly throug res effects
Oh, an Arcane Giant with taunt and 1 less attack for only Priest. Seems playable.

This card is DANK, still trying to figure out why people voted it "Playable"

This can fit in a miracle Lyra priest. But I am not really sure if this deck would be popular next expansion.
Remember when Arcane Giant was never played in priest?

I was playing Arcane Giant during Un'Goro with Medivh, Lyra and Free From Amber. Wasn't a very strong deck, but a fun one.
I played it in my Dragon Soul miracle Priest. It was a fun deck!
Test Subject deck card apart from the above mentioned ways to play it decently.
Not that good for a priest but surely better than Arcane Giant.
Believe in potential; the multiverse blesses some beings with extraordinary traits, with the potential to do—to be—great things.
Grave error
Love the tribes.

Am I a dreamer if I say that this card could make Temporus playable in some OTK Priest? Imagine playing Temporus and two 7/8 taunt at 0 mana (at best)
Playable sińce priest use many spells

Question is just whether this is meta-defining or very good, if it is not distributed through any ladder decks, it's simply just good on its own.
