Knowing that you will now also play against the Xyrella-clock that will get you eventually might just ruin my favorite Warrior vs. Priest
As a player on the other side of that match up, trust me when I say that I would have loved a mutanus back when I was getting ETC'd or Silas'd to death. Of course, it would have been a more effective counter in those cases since there are more minion combo pieces to hit.
The other questline can avoid mutanus with careful play was my point. The 5 mana cost could easily be played the same turn you complete the warlock or mage quest, if you start the turn with the quest almost finished. You simple cannot do that with the priest one, however.
The more I think about this, the less I like the quest. You are forced to end your turn with xyrella in your hand, which is inviting your opponent to eat it with mutanus, and tickatus still destroys your win con once you shuffle it into your deck.
Oh man, After that video, if the spell animation is not a Dunk Tank style rock throw, I am going to be so let down. Also, hurrah, there might actually be a reason to play Thrive in the Shadows, both to tutor out a spell that your curve is lacking, or to fetch the big rock to throw at your opponent.
What do you think of Mo'arg Artificer? Seems powerful with all the damage spells and depending on how it works with unstable shadow blast, it is either a 12 damage removal and just take some damage, or enough damage to complete a step of questline by itself. Prolly the former though, considering how piercing shot works, but still. Also drain soul and the new 1 mana removal will also provide a lot of healing for cheap.
As far as priest is concerned, I have two thoughts.
What I hope they get is some thief priest support finally. Something like: Play a card that started in your opponent's deck -> add a copy of Mind Vision to your hand Play two cards that started in your opponent's deck ->add a copy of Thoughtsteal to your hand Play four cards that started in your opponent's deck ->For the rest of the game: At the start of your turn Discover a card in your opponent's deck. Draw it.
Sure lots of people might hate it, but they are the kind of people that hate priest regardless. My other thought might be better and more powerful, if less interesting and that is for the questline be to both deal damage and restore health. Perhaps with a limitation like "in one turn" or "with spells and your hero power." Either way, Devouring Plague and Holy Nova would both go a long way. As for the reward, would a permanent Prophet Velen effect really be that outlandish given what we have seen so far? Also remember that standard priest has zero face damage beyond shadowform, so it wouldn't be as explosive as mage's current reward.
Right? My eyes rolled so hard, I feared they would fall from my head!
I only play standard and priest is fine at the moment, so I assume this is wild people having wild problems? I still hold a grudge against your mode for getting Hysteria nerfed in standard.
Alternatively, just change the hunter weapons that don't have immunity while attacking to something other than ranged weapon, like Headhunter's Hatchet or some survival hunter's spears.
Maybe what wild needs is a little disclaimer to pop up when you select the game mode that warns you of the mess you are about to engage in. You know, sort of like those warning labels on coffee cups that tell you coffee is hot.
Honestly, I feel like dragon priest is on the cusp of being something. but it badly needs a Duskbreaker. Some OP dragon that has the dragon synergy requirement to make it worth running the tribe. You could discover it with Draconic Studies or off of Skeletal Dragon and ideally 3-5 mana with a body that could be buffed...
I don't know, but dragon priest is one of my more favored archetypes so maybe I am biased.
It isn't any different then using cards like Hysteria on a watch post. Or it's big brother Mass Hysteria. Cards that force an attack have always overridden things like freeze, summon sickness, or effects that say "can't attack."

Hold on. If they do make another mode that is Wild plus a Ban list, can we please call it Mild?

I am going to have to disagree with you about Dunk Tank. Uncorrupted Dunk Tank's animation is by far and away the most satisfying lethal! XD
