Just hard to believe they don't have any immediate plans to add any more Reno-like cards in the near future. I mean, Jade and Self-Buff decks will be around and near full strength for two years. Reno decks essentially get just a season unless you play in Wild.
And so I've played with this card for a while and I'm now retiring it. As I feared most of the time this is just a River Crocolisk. It should have been worded the same as Northshire Cleric. This would not have made the card broken; heck, Cleric is no longer an auto-include in Priest decks. And drawing a card is much more valuable than a featureless 2/2 minion. But it would have meant that it could actually be a productive play rather than hope that it survives until the next turn.
And this is the key reason why Priest was improved but didn't reach Tier 1 with MSoG. This wasn't the droid, er card, we were looking for.
Not sure why you had to create a brand new thread for this as the card already has its own dedicated threads. That said, I agree that this card is bad. Most of the time it will be no better than a River Crocolisk. Should have had an Injured Battlecry effect so that it would come into play already damaged. Then it would have also worked in Resurrect Priest. Or it should have been an Inspire effect. Then it would have been a great drop after you play Raza.
I hope I'm wrong; but this is not the droid, er 2-drop, that Priest is looking for.
Because this card is getting way too much hype, and there are too many people saying there will be a priest meta or priestone coming.
Priest has received some really good cards this expansion. Not sure if they're good enough for the game to become Priestone though. And no way is this geode going to help out in any way.

The Rotation should occur two years after an expansion or adventure is released. It shouldn't be calendar year based. This way every card lasts about two years in Standard.
Wild is a lot more diverse and fun than Standard until you asymptotically approach Legend where the games can become brutal.
Blizzard has mostly treated Wild as an unwanted stepchild but if it really wants to bestow "more love for Wild" then add quests to "Win X games in Wild". I'm sure that a significant percentage of the players out there who dread or fear to play Wild will discover what the rest of us already know if they merely give Wild a whirl.

The 100 gold limit is just Blizzard's way of saying "Get a life."

When you absolutely, positively need another Purify.

By the way, arrow up for naming your card after a former member of the Explorers' League. Certainly fits the theme.

Considering the Pirate meta I'd much rather include an Acidic Swamp Ooze.

Something will have to give; I'm guessing the Buccaneer. Just don't lose Patches' animation when played; it rocks.

Well, now we know Mage and Warlock are receiving some more spells. Perhaps there will be a reason to include Cho'gall in a deck after all.

Would it make any sense to give Priest some Pirate synergy? Not all that familiar with WoW lore.
