But it says discover a Deathrattle card, not discover a card with a Deathrattle effect. And Raptor does have the Deathrattle word in this text, so wouldn't that make him valid?
This card is quite good.. it's not like priest got many 2 drops and I think priest can afford to run this card since it's a cantrip and priest mostly overflows with mana, since it's a control class.
On the Main Page it only says that you can't get SPELLS from other classes. There are currently 3 types of cards ingame, Spells, minions and Weapons. A weapon does not count as spell, so it's possible it works still.
I love this. Love it. As a person committed to priest aggro despite its absolute failure for years, I cannot wait to stuff this card in there. I just wish battlecry would pop on Resurrect
2 mana, 1/2 draw a pretty good card is pretty good. Deathrattle cards are pretty good. It's also a big deal to point out that because this says a deathrattle card and not a minion, you can get things like Death's Bite, Powermace and Charged Hammer from it.
Honestly, I like it. Many of the Priest/Neutral Deathrattle cards are really good, like Dark Cultist or Piloted Sky Golem. I think it will be better than a lot of people think.
I am kind of fine with the body as is. Sure, it would definitely be a lot more viable as a 2/2 instead of a 1/2, but this fills the rather empty 2-drop slot in non-dragon priest decks and it provides a body to cast Velen's Chosen onto on turn 3 if it lives for a turn.
yeah but you get to pick from 3, and considering the card pool, your chance of getting something decent is really good, and chance of you getting something really good is pretty good.... so yes, picking the right one does take skill.
I would give this card a chance. This guy itself is a possible buff target, can trade in 1 health aggro minions and will survive every now and than because the enemy surely won't use removal spells on him. Deathrattle cards are alltogether pretty high quality. So yeah, this card needs some tests but it could be good enough for some Priest decks. (probably not Dragon Priest)

This comment is hilarious. Yes, Blizzard hates Priest, that's why they're getting a 6 mana spell that silences a minion, kills it, then outs it into your deck without triggering ant other effects. (And for those who are stupid: yes I know it doesn't "kill" the minion, but that's, in effect, what it does.)
People don't realize that non-dragon priests usually have nothing to play on turn t2? We got one of the most exiting 2-drops, that can give you : Savannah Highmane, Tirion, Dark Cultist, Charged Hammer, Deathbite, Harvest golem, Sherdder, Mechanical Yeti, Slurge Belcher, Cairne, Piloted Sky Golem, Sylvanas, Toshley, Sneeds and other situational deathrattles like deathlord or unstable ghoul.
How can people bitch about a better version of pre-nerf Novice Engineer that doesn't push you to fatigue and is much more versatile? I don't get it.
This. All of this. I am extremely excited about this card, even if its only as a one-of.
One thing to note though; its been confirmed that Discover can only give you neutral cards or cards from your class. Which means unfortunately no Savannah Highmanes or Tirion Fordrings... ;(
You should really compare this card with Webspinner. Both have roughly -1/-1 stats for their mana cost. In that regard Webspinner is very slightly stronger but at the cost of a weaker effect. A random beast will help you less (most of the time at least) than a 1 out of 3 random Deathrattle minions. Deathrattle are probably stronger than beasts in average + the ability to choose one out of three will make this effect stronger in most cases. Webspinner gives enough value to be played, so I don't get why this card is seen as that terrible by a lot of people. Especially since non-dragon priest don't have amazing 2 drops which are competing with this card.

Deathrattle priest comeback!
That'll do, Huffer. That'll do.
To be honest... I wouldn't have minded if this was a 2/2. It's not like it'd be stronger than a I'll show em all in Hunter and Mage decks.

i didnt realize seeing a fourth of the set played across all tier of the format is consider a fail..... i guess you want at least 50%?
