Ok so how is this card different from Desperate Stand? Why are they keep making their cards so inconsistent? They are making the game more and more confusing.
It’s different from Desperate Stand because Stand can stack on the same minion and go on any minion. You can play one of Embalming Ritual on a minion since giving a minion with Reborn double Reborn doesn’t actually do anything.
Waiting for some mind blowingly good Death Rattle in this set. Not too many that are worth giving Reborn too yet.
You have a few in Standard that work pretty good, but not sure if this card is worth the slot in your deck.
It's good and does alot of work, but would I rather have this or PWS and draw a card?
I mean, on turn 6, giving the 5 Drop Deathrattle minion Reborn seems pretty strong. Hunter already has that kind of trick and they can do it for only 5 mana. And this effect is delayed and if they silence or transform it, you got nothing out of it. Unlike the Hunter combo, you always get 1 random minion destroyed.
Maybe, if value or tempo based decks, but meh, in control. I don't want to put a card in my deck that doesn't help me survive.
If this said....Give a Minion Reborn. When it dies, draw a card. I would be on board.
That's one of the cards who's hard to judge. It can be good, but also bad. The card for sure shines the most on big minions and on minions with strong effects. If you can manage to put it on a Convincing Infiltrator, it's defenitely nice. Most other minions you want to be able to heal after it get's reborn. The problem is, there are so many removals atm. that your opponent will kill the minion and it's 1 health reborn in one round, most of the time. And then it's usually not that good anymore. One bad example would be Embalming Ritual on Ysera.
I'm sure there will be some combo possibilities. But I don't see priest get with that out of the loser bracket.
With Test Subject, I would expect the Embalming Ritual to come back to your hand when the minion is reborn -- as a 0/1 with no enchantments on it.
I guess I don't see what you gain from this process. Even if you buff it with other spells, all you're getting out of the Reborn is a 0/1 that you'd have to re-enchant.
If the dream is infinite Test Subjects, more power to you, but I suspect the little guy's life span as a 0/1 will be short and brutal.

Yes. it is definitely going to replace one of the Shadow Words in Big Priest. Great follow up to Barnes if the token still lives, or a fill in to not float that pesky crystal when playing Obsidian Statue at 10 Mana. People will hate this small card.

Same but different, you can give Desperate Stand to a reborn minion and will summon 2 exact copies, but you cant use Embalming Ritual on a reborn minion.
Card seems good enough, 1 mana, just what Obsidian Statue needs.
its more than that, giving this to a paladin with is different than doing it with priest, paladin have alot of divine shield minions so it will be much better, priest could be good with it too but as you have seen Desperate Stand doesn't seem to have any serious play, maybe this card will.

We can't stack Reborn right? Coz if we can this can be really funny D:

I think this is totally playable. I have no idea what Priest looks like, but I think it's reasonable to imagine this card being played in it.
Also, so many big priest memes. /facepalm
reminds me of a better Ancestral Spirit

If Priest is going to be good, I'm pretty confident that this card will one of the reasons.

if combo cycle priest comes back, this is a good include: cheap, value based effect, allows for some deathrattle cantrip double dips
I can see this memeing really well with Zerek.
That's something I'm also curious about
Wow this will be cancer in wild
Very flexible card that can be run in most Priest decks, obvious synergy with Zerek, Master Cloner & Test Subject. Amazing with High Priest Amet too, all this for 1-mana.
