With priestess of fury being an epic that is undoubtedly just a better Rag, I propose that rag gets reduced to 7 mana and put back in standard. Cause if it “limited design space” before they can possibly believe that’s the case now.
Not gonna defend DH, but Rag is a hard removal and a lethal possibility at the same time. People saying that Priestess is better, because it can clear boards are simply biased. Yeah, Priestes can clear few smaller minions. But what if they have two of moderate size? It will just do some damage to both and that's all. Rag would actually (probably) kill at least one. Rag can win you gave through taunts and full boards, without a need to sticking anything on board.
Don't you remember all these crazy lethals and removals Rag accumulated thorough years? Priestess will most likely never have her own compilations. That's pretty much because she's unreliable. You say Rag was random? Priestess is even less predictable. It shines only in three scenarios:
1) vs. a board of very small (low health) minions
2) on an empty board
3) vs. just one moderately sized minion (3-4 health and nothing guaranteed).
Rag was crippled only by boards full of small minions. Drop it in any other scenario and it's either better or similarly good as Priestess.

Lmao Rag at 8 Mana was even MORE BUSTED than Priestess at 7
I take 8 dmg to face or killing a large Minion ANY time, there is not a comparison, Priestess is only somewhat better as a boardclear for small token stuff.
And Imprisoned Antaen is even much worse than both, since Dormant at Turn 6 is too slow for the current Meta. (I like just the 1 Mana ones for Priest, Pala and Warrior)
You think having a single 8 cost can’t attack 8/8 That deals 8 once is wayyyy better then a 7 cost 6/7 that CAN attack, deals 6 dmg every turn, you have 2, it can wipe a board of swarm minions, you could discover 1 or two more of, that can be cheated out for 5 mana twice a game. I must be missing something here cause I don’t see how you think those compare.

Reliability, you are missing reliability. Priestess cannot kill a single minion with health above 3 (unless you are lucky, then it can maybe kill a 4-, 5- health minion), nor it can deal with 2 of similar health values. The nightmare scenario is that you drop her vs 2 3-health minions and they both live.
As usual, there is no clear answer. Both have their pros and cons. Rag can kill huge minions and can provide lethal through full boards (if you are lucky). Priestess can clear few smaller minions, as well as can attack. Rag cannot attack, but Priestess cannot kill anything significant. So whichever is better depends only on your preference and the actual meta.
DH doesn't generally have problems dealing with wide boards, having tons of removals, most of which it doesn't even play (including Priestess at the moment). Saying that it's better than Rag is simply stupid. It's better... in some aspects. And Rag is better in some.

Yeah and to frustrate you more she's actually rare lol.
But it is a class card.
Take this crap to the official forums, tyvm

Rag is neutral. This isn’t a good argument.
People say Priestess of Fury is better because she can also attack.
^ This.
OR we could nerf Priestess to 7 attack so it dies to BGH.
every time i read a comment of InfeernalDark in a forum hes complaining and ranting. hope you get well soon.

Rag at 7 mana would break the game lol
At least Priestess of Fury can be hit by Sacrificial Pact. Oh wait...
Don't let your memes be dreams.
