Because of the condition "at the start of your turn" this minion will be inactive that very turn (like if you used mind control).
As i said earlier someone pointed out that the card says " Gain Control of it" like Shadow Madness and Potion of Madness does.
Mind Control and Sylvanas and Cabal Shadow Priest say : "Take control of it"
So we need some clarifications
Confiscate priest, this card is death to Control N'Zoth!
nice card if you play it on a big minion like Ysera
I love this card. Hope it's bad.
Vs agro is bad, vs control mmmmm, I am happy with making my opponent use his turn, his Mana and his removal to take care of my problem, have to wait to see if it works, sadly I think that I have to wait 2 turns to attack with his minion.
You guys are crazy, what the fuck
This card is Entomb but instead of being imediate removal, it removes slower, but gets you control of the target without the need to draw and play.
Enemy plays Tirion? Well, good luck killing your 6/6 with divine shield on my face, because it's becoming MY Tirion next turn otherwise.
This forces enemies to trade their minion or give you it's power and/or deathrattle. Sure, it's not an instant removal, but you're priest. You can shrug off the damage. Would suck on any other class, but on Priest it's pretty great.
Sylvanas Windrunner was a 5/5 body which trades 2 for 1
Embrace Darkness is so much weaker
Well Sylvanas Windrunner is now in the Hall of fame, and chose a random minion. Steal Tirion 100% of the time or trade with tirion's divine shield and then pick up the Hydrologist?
I logged in just to +1 this ;)
It's just a card reveal, the actual art will be fine.
Is the face meant to be this blurry in the artwork? I guess one could say the card is not yet.. fully revealed.
This card is meh at face value, but has high potential.
Everyone, including myself, keeps saying your opponent will kill it off. Um ok, great? So he equality pyro'd his tirion. Not bad. Priest would need more 3-6 mana minion presence for this to be good. Otherwise, it will just be a much weaker Sylvanas where they get the choice to trade/kill what they want and go face with their entire board before you gain control of it. Then you're behind.
So it all depends on how control-y priest can get to not be eaten by aggro. Tbh, I think it'll work.
Lets see, a few more Priest reveals (finally) and it seems like a push for steal/ressurect orriented theme hmm
Let meme change your mind.
But is the stolen minion (provided you get to actually steal it) active on your turn or will it act a newly played minion?
It says "at the start of your turn" so you won't be able to attack with this minion. If it was "at the end of your next opponent's turn" then it you would be able to attack with it normally.
