No, they literally aren't. They used serpent ward (a totem), chain heal, and hex. Shaman-style spells. Their ult has no comparison in current classes. Shadow hunters are not priests by any stretch of the imagination...
Vol'jin be killin' a lot o tings, mon...
Put your faith in the Lock. *Desideratus Bellum*

Card Design ChampionAnduin totally mind controlled him.
In MoP Vol'jin allied with rest of the Horde and the Alliance(majorly forces from King Varian) against Garrosh.
And that possibly connects Vol'jin and Anduin .. I .. guess ...?
Wait.
This was the priest legendary?
For some reason, I thought this was an epic priest only guy... because... Sen'jin... Eh. Hehe.
Pretty powerful effect, but...
Why the hell is Vol'jin a priest card? wtf blizz?
Swapped health is NOT possible to be removed by Silence. Just try with crazed alchemist already today :)
Troll card
Overpowered, you won't play it on anything else than 5 health so in that case it's a 6/5 that deals 3 damage for 5 mana or in other words, a cheaper Fire Elemental
if you play it on anything with 6+ HP this is just broken ... A 5 mana 6/6+ that deals 4+ damage? Most (and only) broken legendary in the game
AND its immune to BGH to top it off
all of this for being a bit situational but still broken
at the very, very least this needs to be 6 mana to compete with sylvanas
Those cards win games because they are late game high cost big legendaries
Vol Jin is NOT a high cost card. Not wven 6 drop cards like Sylvanas or Cairne "win games" like thosehigh drops (except for Highmane), let alone the 5 drops like Loatheb, Azure Drake or Sludge Belcher
Priest needed a competent legendary and blizzard delivered in spades, if all you have is a 2 attack minion on the board this removes every creature in the game while playing a potentially big minion in the process. I'm usually one to preach caution when talking about cards pre-release but I don't see a world where this isn't run in almost every priest deck.
I believe every control priest deck will pack this legend. Maybe some aggro priest (yes, Blizzard is trying to pull that) as well.
It's a variant of BGH that hurt any minion in the game, without the finishing blow.
Vol'jin is not OP as some people seem to suggest. This card is a 5-mana variant of Black Knight / Cabal Shadow Priest etc, only that it works better against higher health minions. So it helps Priests the most against decks such as hanlocks, arguably the worst matchup for Priests now. But it's true power depends on how popular high health minions are in all decks. As such, Vol'jin is not overpowered compared to other solid minions that are affected less by board conditions. Therefore it will still not be overpowered in GvG, unless ranked becomes flooded with decks using disproportionate number of high health minions compared to current decks, which I don't believe would happen.
No, but the do have some connection to those classes. Ghaz'rilla is a beast, after all, and Rexxar is a beastmaster. Also, while Flame Leviathan's connection to the mage is dubious, it is a mech-themed expansion and it has a mage-y effect (albeit a lame way of triggering it) of an aoe fire damage proc.
This is a poor analogy at best. Vol'jin has nothing to do with Anduin or priests at all. Blizzard took the loose connection of witch doctors to priests and shadow hunters to witch doctors and used it as a shaky justification to throw him in there. The stupid thing is that you could do the exact same thing to tie witch doctors (and shadow hunters) to warlocks because of the voodoo and shadow magic themes. In fact, that is exactly how Blizzard justified trolls being able to be warlocks (and druids because of the some the loa being bestial in nature) in Cataclysm and beyond. Once again, Vol'jin has far more connection to Thrall and shamans in general as the shadow hunter hero unit uses spells that were transfered to the WoW shaman and the fact that Thrall and Vol'jin's friendship goes back several years to the Warcraft 3 demo mini-campaign, where Thrall and his orc followers saved the Darkspear trolls. They could've figured out a different character to use this effect and saved Vol'jin to be a shaman or neutral legendary.
