I've been thinking of this card a lot, and it is amazing. I'm a big fan of Holy Smite (currently running 2 in my Control Priest deck) since it was a great answer to a turn 1 Undertaker and all those 3/2 aggro minions, and also allowed great Wild Pyromancer plays, but it was very awkward against slower decks (not unplayable, just awkward.) Now, Vol'jin gives Holy Smite amazing tempo against control decks! It also makes it so your small minions can trade with their big stuff, all while leaving you with a big body on the field. Truly one of the best cards in the set!
Between him and Lightbomb, Handlock just went from being Priest's absolute worst match-up to being perfectly manageable. I love it!
I play priest mostly but I dont feel very excited about Voljin.
On average I think Voljin will become a 6/5. And often will be in a combo of some sort.
Predicting allot of mech rush decks at the start of the expansion (lower health then 5) but maybe he'll see more play as more experimental decks come out.
This is the best card in GvG imo. On average it should be 6/5 (deal 3 damages). And there is lot of ways to deal the 2 extra damages as a Priest.
It is not that good against agro, but Priet is already the best anti-agro class.
Extremely good against control deck. Really good removal, you just need an extra 2 damages to remove Ragnaros/Giant and this become a 6/8 (perfect stats!)
The only bad thing about this card is.... it's a card. I was secretely hoping Vol'jin would be the alternative Priest hero, if they ever happen to offer them ;__;
Aww yeah! Super value Stormpike Commando! This card is pretty much going in every priest deck.
So the spoiler was real...
Play voljin
next turn crazed alchemist cabal shadow priest xD
I like it, potentially a very strong card. Awesome Artwork, would like to see the golden version :D
Very fun card, it's going to turn around so many games.
Not only smite, there are so many other combo... Best legendary of whole set imo.
Awww yeeessss! It is real!

Priests will have another answer to Ysera aside from Mind Control.
Oh, I was hoping this card was real! Yesssss...
Great tool for Priests against Handlock and ramp druid. could open up some possibilities for a midrange priest as well.
I am Ozymandias, King of Kings
Plainly awesome... So many possibilities with hi, auto include in any Priest deck!
Remember when Priest used to be the last class of the game before Naxx was released, you will probably miss the old days lol
BOLVAR! Get it? like HODOR! Same thing now.
Bada-boom. It's a good time to be Priest. :-)
I see our weakness to Handlock fading away.
Our real problem now is.... which cards to cut to make space for these new ones?
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.

Not sure if hyped yet.
They're pushing priest, pretty damn hard.
Problem being, I think Anduin was planning to get overcompensated all along.
Exactly. He was so bad pre-Nax so Blizz give him tools for 3+ expansion forward.
I was definitely hoping this card was real ever since the leak. Absolutely outstanding...now to figure out what cards to take out!
SUP!

this is basically Fire Ele, that cost 1 less and have potential to deal more than 3 damage. Only downside is silence. Insane card
