All those OTK Priests, Burn Priests, Raza Priests from the last 3 years utilized a single card - Mind Blast.
It's not healthy to have a card that costs 2 and deals 5 face damage in the class that has tools to stall the game to his desire. And now with Zerek it's visible more than ever - stall to 9, hope for highroll of third Mind Blast or big luck from Zerek to have Velen, Maly and 2 x Elemental and OTK your opponent. Dragon Priest is the same to a lesser extend - drop Alex, burn the 15 health next turn through 3 x hero power and 2 x Mind Blast.
Look at Rogue for example - many damage cards, lack of AoE utility.
Dude, there's a salt thread available for these things.
And, seriously, don't worry about Mind Blast. This card might be an issue in Standard right now, but only because of the existance of Shadowreaper Anduin and Radiant Elemental . In 2 months these 2 cards will be rotating and that burst combo will only be available in Wild... where it is no big deal, since Priest has better decks such as Barnes Priest.
No they need to stop fucking with the classic set and Mind Blast doesn't need a change it's fine. The card will be gone soon and it's not that good in wild so just let it be. It's barely got a spotlight before 2 besides Raza the card has been kind of trash.
All people complain about this card is salty because lost in late game with 2 turns setup from 30 life but they never see the many games the priest is stomped by aggro with x2 of this useless card in hand in that match.
The card is just ok now and was trash before, far from be a problem.
So Shadow Reaper Anduin has been around for a year and a half. What OTK decks did Priest have that used mind blast for the other year and a half of the three years you say that it has been oppressive? I don't remember anything common or viable before KotFT.
