This card is a Corruption that steals instead of kills for 5 more mana. Corruption is bad because you have to wait one turn and you can't play minions, otherwise the opponent would suicide the corrupted minion into yours. I don't believe steal instead of kill is worth 5 more mana, comparing to a card that doesn't see play
What are you saying dude? Sylvannas is good because is a minion that threatens to steal one of your minions when it dies, so you have to deal with it before playing your good minions. This card the opponent knows which minion is going to be stolen and has a turn to either deal more face damage or simply get rid of it. It doens't make you to do a very bad play like Sylvannas, because you will lose a random something that if you roll 20 you lose, if you roll 1 you win. Also silvannas steals when it dies, if you trade to play a good minion your opponent can attack with the stolen one next turn. If he trades he IMMEDIATELY gains control of it, plus because is a deathrattle and a minion it combos with cards like N'zoth and Faceless. Please don't compare Sylvannas to it, she is a whole lot better.
Sylvanas is 5 damage thrown into board control that then steals further board control and can be combo'd half a dozen ways to steal multiples or returned with Nzoth, even in duplicate. This doesn't come close to Sylvanas
Dude what are you using? Corruption is a one mana cost that kills the opponent minion at the start of your turn. I never talked about Corrupting Mist
Probably a dumb question, but this is permanent isn't it?
of course
A nice mix between Entomb and Mind Control, but a bit slower.
1x will probably see play in every Priest dec, imho.
At least Entomb, being clunky with 6 mana cost, was dealing with the threat immediately and you could actually use the stolen minion's battlecry afterwards. This is just super slow, overcosted, epic "meh". And 6 mana spot is already crowded especially in wild - Lightbomb, Entomb, Dragonfire Potion, Book Wyrm if dragon priest, Reno Jackson if highlander deck, and so on... I just don't see how can anyone fit this in his deck. I think there're way better pretenders for its slot like Cabal Shadow Priest, sylvanas, even Emperor Thaurissan. Anyway in wild there're occasionally some ultra greedy priest that run 20+ cards in the 5+ mana spot so I guess they'd be happy :)
that would have been bad at 5 mana but it is beyond mediocre at 6, i hope the hero will be better because so far priest got nothing interesting except a meme legendary
i have near 2000 ranked win as priest, and the only good card, even rly rly good i concede, is eternal servitude, all others are complete crap
spirit slash is maybe good it will depend on the meta but i doubt a lot, the potion is better.
The legendary is just a meme, since when playing your opponent's deck milked with yours is powerful ? right never because you draw no combos and anyway most of games end at turn 8 + even if you want to use it in a fatigue game you deck will be so bad that you will never reach this point
the 6 spell is shit too, most of time you want to remove the card not steal it, 90% of minions are crap, you dont see a tirion every game , also we don't know yet if he can attack directly or not but if not it is clearly one of the worse priest spell
This is the best anal sis on this card, ty.
lol he basically named all powerful minions/ retarded combos that you will not see most of time taking us for complete retards like we don"t know the game at all
Wololooo!
Meta snapshot after knights of the frozen throne "Priest top 1"
Not the greatest card (in fact its pretty crap) but it will definitely see play in priest......as it stands this is the only single card (albeit a turn later) other than Mind Control that can act as a removal for anything in the 4 attack range which is one of the biggest problems when it comes to priest removal....i see this as less of a tool for cards like Tirion Fordring and more necessary for annoyances such as Primordial Drake
But unlike entomb, you don't get battlecries.
Maybe i should have typed that as "single" card as in self sufficient, pint sized potion is a card you need to double up with...by itself it does nothing unless followed up with a second card such as SWP or Cabal....like i said before the only other card that can deal with 4 ap minions currently is mind control, comparing this card with entomb is a bad comparison as well because entomb instantly removes the threat as well as pads your deck for the long term fatigue game....this does neither, this is more like a corruption with the benefit of recieving the minion as opposed to removing it if the owner does not do it first.
definitely going to be meta. especially when tagged onto a powerful minion when you have a weak taunt so that the powerful minion doesn't hurt your face
Corruption got corrupted?
The question is: does the minion gain charge like potion of madnes does or not.
