This is a good card that would be an amazing card if it had taunt and could act as an anti-aggro wall that smacks down wide boards in much the same way Explosive Trap can. As is, they can just ignore it and attack your face, which makes it less reliable than Duskbreaker was at immediately clearing threats (deathrattle vs battlecry). That said, this card will be absolutely brutal if you can get it off of Psychopomp.
Much, much slower than Duskbreaker, this fits into a hard control deck, of which we haven't seen been successful this year. However now with all these absurd dragon cards, I imagine that deck will be decent unless something far more powerful dominates the other control decks (which is EXTREMELY possible, again considering the massive power creep of this expansion). Imagine if that 3 mana summon 2 deathrattles was still around...

Not like Duskbreaker because the effect is slow and only hits your opponents. You play this when you already have the board to stop your opponent from taking it back, or you just play it on a losing board and get it back.

So a better Duskbreaker?
FOR THE HORDE!
Another AOE for priest, and a better Duskbreaker indeed.
Duskbreaker 2: Electric Boogaloo
EDIT: Didn't even realize that the AOE is a deathrattle. Probably not worth running then.

I Love it.
How exactly is that supposed to be better than Duskbreaker? I think you underestimate how much worse a Deathrattle is to a Battlecry with this effect.
No it is way worse than duskbreaker, this card needs taunt badly.
It is so bad, if only it had taunt at least. I still will use 2 Duskbreakers in my Reno dragon priest.

Didn't see the deathrattle. Alright, a worse Duskbreaker

Almost as good as Chillmaw, but could be even better if you stabilize at 20+ health against an aggro deck.
How much more AOE does Priest need?
Art: Awesome.
Effect: Meh.
Needs taunt to be played
Even when it has taunt, it's still not a great effect. It's easy to play around.
Chillmaw is definitely worse than Chronobreaker, but you play around the effect the same way for both.
That's a good card. Just good. Probably will see play in standard. Slow for wild and no taunt either...
This just seems super strong in the early game... stats are a bit low but the effect is good enough that its runnable.
It's basically Duskbreaker but in inverse
