Pretty much the same as I explained above:  I like the syngery with Vilefin too when I tested it, still needs more testing but basically I find sir finely helpful in a lot of match ups that are faster than this deck (for healing, card draw advantage, armor, removal) depending on the board state, where as sometimes against control mage / druid/ hunter hero powers can give you an insane lead. Whereas the vilefin's value comes when you get the syngery cards only. Paladin's hero power it self is great yes, but a quick example of turning the tides with sir finely is playing him late when both sides have low cards and you pull ahead by getting the warlock hero power, or he has a dangerous creature that you can take out with the help of rogue/druid/mage hero power where as the paladin requires its 1/1 recruit to survive the turn to do so.

The thing about Priest is that its not a shit class. It's just shit in this meta. But if this were a control meta, they would be so good. For example, they have one of the best basic set. It's just that it's way too slow. Take Paladin. They have Consecration for four mana they can wipe a Zoolock's board clean. And Priest has a five mana Consecration with a 1 mana Aoe heal. Yet, Priest and Paladin have a hard time beating Zoo because Zoo keeps shitting on them by rebuilding a board. Priest which has more AOE like Circle-Auchenai, Excavated Evil, and Shadow Word: Horror and even runs Doomsayer and Wild Pyro at times can't beat Zoo any better than Paladin can. Zoo lock is just op and unless the meta changes, priest will keep getting shitted on by zoo, aggro, midrange, everything except control. So the real question to ask is how do you make Priest's meta better? Make Paladin stronger, Zoo weaker. This way Priest can be the counter to Paladin and yet not have Zoo be a weakness. But Warrior can remain untouched as it keeps Priest in check and Priest keeps Paladin in check. And Paladin keeps Warrior in check.

I was really surprised there was any talk of "netdecking" when I started playing Hearthstone. The internet as a means to distribute strategy information has been a regular part of gaming for well over a decade. It's hard to read anyone whining about netdecking and take them the least bit serious, as they just sound clueless and completely unaware of the world. Yeah, decklists get shared. The vast majority of the community uses that shared information. Especially players who are good.

confirmed worst exp ever gg blizz

I so agree that this is the worst[kappa]. No nax and gvg powercreeps yet..how am i suppose too replace dr boom and my shredders? Why is control and midrange shaman getting love? Only shaman archetype that should exist is cancer..where is the crackle replacement? Exciting,fun and unpredictable cards like this and "renounce darkness" and an alternative universe rag shouldnt exist in such a "serious" game like hearthstone..kappa. Seriously though with only 53 cards revealed so far and you confirming that this is the worst expansion ever makes your comment one of the "worst" premature comments ive ever seen since there is another 80 odd cards too be revealed

 dude this just showing how bad player you are

For 8 mana? Really? Three Animal Companions=9 mana for three cards. This=8mana for one card. What is this? Value hunter?

 That's a very poor way of thinking about it. Each of those beasts is worth at least 4 mana stat wise. This is like getting 12 to 13 mana worth of minions for 8 mana. It's a VERY strong card.

I know that the value doesn't exactly add up like that. But that just strengthens my point: 8 mana is ridiculously low, and the fact that the cost is even lower than playing the three original cards (hence, three vs one card) is also completely ridiculous, notwithstanding the value you're actually getting.

I really don't like this card. 

I think that all 10 mana cards should read "Win the game" if you have set it up well.  That's why I think anyfin is just right, with the right set up in a control deck it is the win condition.  This card is 10 mana maybe win next turn if they don't have board control. Even then, you don't wanna run stupid deathrattles in a control deck that actually consistently gets to turn 10. 

 

 Sludge belcher,piloted shredder,sylvana,tirion are all mainstays in say paladin control. Definitely not "stupid" death rattles minions. Amazing card hey has the potential too bring more value then anything else in the game imagine the dream. two shredders -8 mana, two sludges -10mana, sylvana -6mana, tirion -8mana plus this cards whos stats are worth 6 mana that equals 38mana worth of cards for 10 mana. Even if just one shredder had died you breaking even on 10 manas worth of stats antyhing more than shredder is value.  

 Only two of those cards will be playable in standard. Not a very good arguments

Who said i was talking about standard? Everyone serious about this game and everyone except people starting too play now knows those deathrattles wont be part of standard anymore. This cards popularity in standard depends on the amount of death rattle minions we still have too see from this expansion. Nothing breathtaking shown so far of what i can remember.

Nice but won't see play

 the prime example of the idiotic part of the community..

now to the explanations part of the community, yeti was played before shredder was in the game, this is a Yeti with a good effect, it will see play

Quote from Zumwanna >>

this card has one glaring issue and that is doomsayer, the fact that every totem u ever make has a chance to become that and lose the game. I love the card dont get me wrong but a 4/5 for 4 that has a chance of blowing your board up worries me a bit. I will not get my hopes up that this card will be good.

I see a ton of complaints about the scared WoW lore but people seem to forget what WoW did the the lore of warcraft in general.

 Wait, people actually care about WoW lore?! 

Most people do i definitely do and love it. I'm open minded when it comes too cards like this though its fresh and exciting and a nice twist on rag. Some other people though are acting like blizzard is commiting some kinda sacrilege too their own lore.

I like the idea of twisted cards - they took the normal Ragnaros the Firelord and just made the absolute oposite affect!

Good move Blizzard !

Who cares about the lore anyway.

HS has never taken itself seriously.

My only complaint about the card is, why is it not a dragon.

 Why would it be?

 Because this would fit in a dragon deck obviously.

Quote from Falbrogna >>

You seem unable to grasp the point, so let me spell it out to you: them owning the IP is no reason to suspend all critical thinking and blindlessly swallow  whatever idea they come up with. Stupid things are stupid, who owns the IP doesn't matter.

 I understood you the first time. I simply disagree. "Stupid," in this case, is a matter of opinion. Some people think this card is amusing.

I think it's great that Hearthstone has the freedom to play around with the more absurdly GrimDark tropes of WoW.

Quote from wyrllish >>

Further proof Blizzard does not care about any lore whatsoever over the almighty dollar. Their merger with Activision really changed them as a company.

 The rate at which blizzard is releasing cards now how long before they would have released every single material (character) from the wow lore if everything was original? 6-7 years? What do they do then make up characters or should they just stop releasing new content till wow gets more content? In a card game like this that is expanding so fast with a limited lore things has too be made up and used together with the original content from the lore so that the game can last longer. This is an interesting design on how blizzard think a different rag would look like and work and they should know they created the original rag.
