I find the Questing Miracle matchup to actually be pretty tough. Sylvanas is fairly useless in the meta and is run more out of habit than anything else.
@Old_Guardian, you're finding Dragon Priest difficult because you don't run Sleep with the Fishes.
As someone else said, it synergizes really well with low-cost cards like Potion of Madness as well.
On a related note, 3-drop slot for Priest is SO STACKED now. Mirage Caller, Curious Glimmerroot, and Kabal Talonpriest are all AMAZING cards that any other class would love to have. But they all seem to go into different decks. I'd personally like to fit at least two of them into a classic Control Priest somehow.
In closing, this bad motherfucker should be played for the art alone.
Aggro should be a choice you can make when looking at the meta, not a catch-all deck you choose because "no matter what my opponent draws or puts in their deck, I'll win 65% of the time anyway."
What's wrong with silver bullets? Silver bullets are essential to a healthy meta. You need these "safety valves" so that if the meta skews too far in one direction or another, players can use these otherwise inefficient cards to gain an advantage for understanding that meta. And if the meta changes, they'll stop using these cards, and so on and so on. There's TONS of this stuff in Magic on a scale that makes this look wimpy.
Power level wise it's good but not amazing. Against many decks you run a high risk of getting fairly useless cards, as has always been the case with Thoughtsteal, and it doesn't have deathrattle so it will probably not be preferred by N'Zoth Priest over Shifting Shade. Decks that normally would have run Thoughtsteal will probably pick this instead though, since it's a better compromise between tempo and value.
Screw that! I'm running this AND Thoughtsteal just to tilt every non-Jade Control player.

Yeah, this card is stupid good.
5 mana Assassinate with a 0 mana 3/4 attached (meaning it's also reusable).

The possibilities are really great.
T4 Mistress of Mixtures into Mirage Caller to really screw over aggro decks, for example.
Or T10 Mistress of Mixtures, Mirage Caller, Auchenai Soulpriest, Circle of Healing, Hero Power for 10 damage to face. Don't underestimate burst damage in Priest.

When do you people expect Prophet Velen to sit around on the board?
You either play Prophet Velen + Mind Blast and end your turn, then the opponent clears your board, or you play Prophet Velen + Mirage Caller, then the opponent clears your board.
Like...what are you hoping to accomplish with that play? Maybe if Emperor Thaurissan were in standard, but he's not.
Best partners for this guy look like Crystalline Oracle, Shifting Shade, Tortollan Shellraiser, and Cairne Bloodhoof.

FFS, decent anti-aggro cards is not power creep.
Aggro should be a choice you can make when looking at the meta, not a catch-all deck you choose because "no matter what my opponent draws or puts in their deck, I'll win 65% of the time anyway."

I'm a little bit worried because the only two Warrior cards that have been revealed so far have been shit/meme cards.

This is really good, but it remains to be seen whether the meta will be slow enough for something like midrange Rogue to exist.

I will probably run this as a one-of tech card in Control Warrior.

Control Priest is going to be absolutely filthy.

This looks awesome and fun.

We already know what the card is...

For everyone saying Gang Up, it's not going to be in Standard.
This is by far the hardest and most unreliable quest to complete thus far revealed, and it has the WORST reward despite its difficulty.

Unlike the quest, I think this card is actually good.
Thistle Tea is overpriced, but this is 3 mana less for only one fewer card. Quite nice.
