I'm using this deck in the current brawl and did quite well against the mass of aggro there. I've also played several unranked games to get a feeling beforehand and won against all kinds of decks there..
Priest is my favorite class, but I'm not super excited about this card. Obviously it's a really good card and super OP while Dragonfire Potion is still in play, but in the next rotation it might be too expensive for the main board clear.
Shadow Word Horror needs the Pintsize Potion, the new dragon needs another dragon and priest needs a board clear by turn 5 or at least 6. Turn 7 is too late in many games, even if it's best clear in the game - you just might not reach turn 7.
Unless priest gets stronger in the early game there will be need for another good clear with the next expansion.
All together I think this card would have a better place in the next expansion, when dragonfire rotates out of standard..
Spirit Lash is a very nice early board clear against aggro (especially shaman, hunter and paladin), Shadow Word Horror (especially with Pint Size Potion) can clear a whole board, often without touching your own minions and with two copies of all this cards you have already enough removal against any aggro deck.
I'm not sure when I lost against Aggro the last time with Big Priest. May have been two weeks as those give me enough time to get to my Obsidian Statue which heals me out of range and clears a board of weak minions on its own..
I guess they want that players can see clearly which cards can't be disenchanted (especially after a nerf; this would also explain why it's priority now, as the next expansion (after Kobolds of course) would come in march or April.
I stopped spending money for HS altogether, and I've got no real troubles with that.
I can't play all decks, because of some missing Epics or Legends, but I've got around 3.5k gold stashed for the next adventure already.
Till the start of the year I bought all Bundles (Starter Pack, Adventure), but this release politics made me a bit angry as I'm not willing to spend at least 150€ a year
I guess I should down vote this deck, because it's winstreaking me like hell and nobody else should use it.
But as it is already out there I can up-vote instead :D
I'm usually not much into ranked as I like priest the most and games take long at priest hadn't that good scores in the past. But I gave this a try yesterday as I try to finally gather my golden hero and it really surprised me. With only a few losses I climbed to 1211 10 today and still no end in sight.
I've been up to rank 5 in the past, usually I only play up to 15 to get my golden card.

It's more than that as you always get minions.

You haven't played priest much?

Maybe because priest suffered a very long time before? We're talking years here IIRC.

1) Make a deck with the crappiest minions (as much card draw as possible) and 1 Counterspell
2) Play King Ransom followed by the Counterspell
3) Enjoy the opposite deck
Works 5% of all games, and can only be countered by spells in his hand..!

He gave the opponent two turns and that one built a dungeon around him. Now he has two turns to get out..

I like this type of RNG more than the usual as it's a known effect when you play it.

More likely you encourage the little kids to play Jade Druid as they see you whining about it, so it must be good!
