Have you people never played against a control deck that has a board clear after a board clear? Everyone is wondering what will priest do after this. What will they do? They will clear your board a few more times untill you run out of steam. Then they will drop something huge. Like the free priest 7/8 taunt? Or set up for a 1 turn combo kill with inner fire?
THANK YOU.
I was starting to feel like I was the only one here who has actually played Hearthstone.
It seems Rank 20+ has a very interesting metagame
Yeah, rank 20 has very interesting metagame.
But I ask you: Rank 24??
I think is very good in control matchups but in aggro you mostly can survive until turn 6

Seems to me that people don't know how control decks works. Why would I need a play anything after my board clear, when my whole game plan is to outvalue my opponent and make them run out of steam?

Most control decks have a different win condition than fatigue, in particular priest (inner fire, resurrection, machine gun/mind blast or velen/mind blast). At present, control warrior is the only class that has attrition/fatigue as win condition in Standard (and I also think in wild, because BIG Priest clearly does not win by attrition, but by resurrecting threats).
If you play against aggro, chances are that you either lost or already won before you can even play Plague of Death . I see this card more as a board reset against other control and midrange decks. And if you do not play anything afterwards (i.e. have a a win condition), you will not outvalue them. You will be forced to stay on defense and they will eventually kill you. Priest doesn't have the amount of removal and the staying power as Warrior has and lacks in particular a value machine like Dr. Boom, Mad Genius (at least not yet).
Don't get me wrong, I think this card is a good mass removal, but presently it wouldn't help priest very much without more support. At least and as mentioned, Grave Horror is something you could potentially play immediately afterwards in the same turn for a swing. We will see what priest gets on top of this.
If you play Control vs Aggro (or Midrange) usually if you survive the early game you'll come to the part of the contest where the faster deck is running out of cards in hand and has to commit to the board in a last attempt for a win. This is a 1 card counter for the Control deck so potentially very powerful if the meta is quite varied. If the meta is more control or combo saturated then this card won't see too much play though.

If you don't see all three types of decks, something has gone horribly, horribly wrong, and this card will be the least of our worries.

While this card is really strong, it has anti-synergy with the way Priest deck seems to be heading. By turn 9 most probably you completed Activate the Obelisk and have a strong buffed-up board that you want to protect, this will make you lose all that progress. Maybe you follow next turn with Mass Resurrection and start over?
Nothing less than meta defining as it would be in any long game Priest deck. Meta defining in December expansion anyway.
Strong, but slow.
Perfect card for a control deck.
I think is a good card but it's very expensive. You must play a deck with cheap card to resort until 9 turn.
We will sawn this card when will launch.

My Wild Medivh Reno Priest will really like this card.

Playable, not nearly as good as scream but close to twisting nether.

please change the artwork.
it looks so cruel.
