Ok angry reactions aside, this isn't as stupid as it looks. 1) It's three minions for nine mana, not four for seven (which means to guarantee a good res, you have to be a lot more picky about what you play, if OTK is the goal). 2) Radiant rotates out, so assuming we don't get a replacement, Turn 9 OTK won't be possible. 3) At 9 mana, you can't really do anything else in the same turn, so if OTK is the goal, your opponent will almost always have a turn to respond.
If anything, this makes Wall Priest stronger.
Nobody would this shit over oakheart.
Oakheart is from Kobolds, which is rotating.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
Don't get the reactions... The problem with ressurect spells is that you first cheat out small copies of big minions with powerful effects and use the resurect to get the full version way ahead of curve. With that spell you have to wait to turn 9 before you can ressurect your Malygos copy.
I can already see people overreacting to this card. At least in standard, a 9 cost resurrect is really really slow. With a lot of rez priest cards rotating out, i think this card is going to be massively overrated. No radiant, no shadow visions, I dont get the overreaction .
It's not people overreacting it's people playing wild and fucking tired of resurrect mechanic ever since it was introduced many years ago.
They made a freaking Tier 1 wild deck out of this mechanic WHY are they pushing it again ?
This card is trash, unplayable in standard without Barnes and Shadow essence. And guess what in Wild this card is just another layer of Broken OP polarized shit in the most broken and polarized deck ever.
I strongly doubt that big priest go that greedy to go for 8 resurrect cards in their decks. Removals are necessary to stay alive.

Why wouldn't they? They go greedier every time there's a resurrect card. That's just what they do. And Ragnaros is removal.
I'm sure you doubted Diamond spellstone would ever see play. And servitude. And actual original resurrect. There are people like that with no vision, it's okay, I forgive you.
That is the thing. They could run Barnes and 25 resurrect spells and a couple big dudes and this would still be a functional and OP stupid deck.
People really overreacting coz of old res. priests. It's bad card for wild big priest, the hell you need 9 mana resurrect, when you have not 2, not 4, 6! resurrects in your deck and you can create 2 more with visions. We have only 30 card deck, it's not fit at all, too overcosted even for standart, but for wild, it's just trash, spellstone so much better.
For standart, meh, coz no other resurrects means, this card has potential in some big priests, pobably not - 9 mana is too high, but it will be some late game value thing in future. Still awful game design, we already have this card but not balanced, why printing this?!
This card perfectly fits Blizzard's new direction, which is keeping/bringing back old mechanics and play styles but in a more balanced way. I think this card is appropriately costed and powered as opposed to the spellstone which was too cheap and too powerful. Resurrect priest should be playable but not oppressive. I think its fine.
You are right that this card is too costly or slow for traditional OTK decks. The good cards are rotating. The issue is that Wall Priest still exists and this makes it not go away.
So they have a TTK instead of an OTK. That means IF you do not kill their crazy wall of minions after this is played, then you will be hit with a Divine Spirit and Inner Fire combo.
So essentially Inner Fire/Wall Priest is here to stay unless they send it to the Hall of Fame or nerf one or both of the cards.
I guess I will be playing Mossy Horror more often now.
Isn't that completely fair, though. I mean, on 10 mana, a deck should be allowed to have some way to win. And this one is about as interactive as they come.

Your dumb if you think wild big priest will run this. It's to slow and clunky. This is a fair and balanced card in standard. You're overreacting way too much.

Boring card design.
This is why you don't preorder too early. I was so glad this archetype was GONE.

While the comparison to Lesser Diamond Spellstone is obvious, K&C is rotating out of standard/Arena in less than 3 weeks.
Not sure if hyped yet.
Good and balanced card. I like it.
Those guys who fear wall priest in wild, don't worry, the main offender Eternal Servitude is rotating.
My first created Hearthstone cards:
May be a niche 1 of in Wild Res priest.
In standard it's fairly strong but lacks good enough support to be great.
Voted playable.
Isn't that completely fair, though. I mean, on 10 mana, a deck should be allowed to have some way to win. And this one is about as interactive as they come.
Because now it's balanced.
Is this an out of season april's fool joke?
Obey C'Thun, Praise The Darkness, Pet Hakkar, the Soulflayer, Love Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
Overcosted, way too overcosted.
Ugh..... whyyyy??

Don't worry, it's a Rare. How many of these could a Priest own?
