every expansion is the return of the black knight and then.... lol
Cool card and it'll probably see play in standard quest priest. The deathrattle isn't all that though. In learning from chillmaw and explosive trap, giving your opponent control over removal and AOE significantly decreases the value that it has. I feel like the large taunt body and lifesteal are the more important assets of the card and the deathrattle is a little bonus to help you stabilize in tough spots.
I don't think you really want to be playing this outside of decks that need large deathrattle bodies though. I think in a control priest shell, you are more incentivized to use tools like Lyra, Medivh + amber, and elise. That being said, I think it could make the cut in a wacky benedictus deck.
Well, now u gets to put 2 copies of it 😂
I think, this card has not such a unique effect to be the legendary card.
Geez, Blizz really pushing Shaman this expansion.
If other priest revealed cards were under question about their usefullnes,this one will see play 100%.I hope legendary and hero card will be playable aswell.
soooo heavy...
Getting 2 of them back from N'Zoth will be pretty cool. Not gonna happen too often. But it's gonna be cool ;)
well, Stonehill Defender will see play in Priest too c:
This card is powerful for sure and considering primordial drake into this priest will literally auto-win games. The only thing tough is how we are going to survive until turn 7-8 at least when games are already decided at turns 4-7
Not extremely strong just to play it by itself, but it's going to be CRAZY to get from Barnes, Free From Amber and Eternal Servitude. Also, extremely powerful in mirror matches due to the 4-Attack.
And don't forget the Inner Fire & Divine Spirit Combos xD
the 9-mana-part isn't a problem when a card has a strong deathrattle, taunt and lifesteal.
A very powerful tool, one that isn't clunky. Priest needs cards like this one
It is serious buff to Amber, you will basically hit it every other time and in arena this card is insane comeback mechanism.
This card looks very good, against a bunch of weak minions, this card will allow you to get back in the game with lifesteal and against bigger minions it's deathrattle allows you to get an advantage. Furthermore, it having deathrattle allows it to fit into Quest Priest.
This is pretty badass
YAASSSSSS BITCH YASSSSSSSSS!!!!!
You are probably right that the cost is probably the only concern. It has a ton of power but no immediate effect. Its too early to dismiss it though given the amount of power it does have.
