i see evrybody saying oh it can be good in mage it can be good in priest , actually id say shaman can benefit most since they got few spells or you can make a deck with few spells (example to always pull evolve then most cases the 8 mana will be 9 with better stats)
I love how this card is a different feel from the rest of the cards in this expansion. The artwork is decent. The concept is interesting. A deck thinner like patches but not free or cheap... serves a AOE function. Maybe its playable but it doesn't seem top tier. 8 mana spot is a tough field to compete in and this card simply doesn't have it...
There are many other things this card can do in the future (wild for example), But now i'm also thinking about a new version a "big priest" that just summons stuff that died this game. You can also put in a unguro pack before you play him to make sure that you can value at the end of a game.... it's not as bad as you try to make it. Think about a boardclear that only attacks the other side like "Lightning Storm". Even a Mindblast from a Face-Priest every round could be a very bad thing (if they add enoth spells that do something like this).
do you know zoolock?, well if you don't that's a minion basd tier 1 deck
Similarities between this and The Runespear. Obviously this seriously needs a deck built around it to work, but both need a setup that can reach late-game and then benefit from random-cast spells (such as Volcano?) May be some synergies, though never likely to be more than fun.

That said it's amazing the lack of high mana spells in Shaman in standard at present.
Hmm, I can see the card actually being useful. Think about it - a Mage deck with AOE spells like Voltatic Potion, Flamestrike, Blizzard, Frost Nova, and Secrets could get around this easily. Not to mention that since Cabalist Tome and the new Mage Spellstone choices are already random, doesn't hurt to use them. It's an upgraded version of Tortollan Primalist - you can actually control the outcome of what the Archivist plays, to a certain extent. It could be good.
uhhh, no thanks. if it would cast a copy of a spell, maybe :)
What I do wonder is, if this can cast Shadow Word death, even if there is no 5 attack or higher minion on board.
then it's just goig to kill itself (probably work like yogg)
It should do nothing just like yogg cast a Shadow word: Pain
Priest seems like Best class to use this. Free Mind Control , dragonfire potion, free from amber. In mage flamestrike, cabalist tome, blizzard, even secrets would be fine.
It can also not kill itself with Shadow word pain and death so if you keep it alive it can continuously destroy enemy minions every turn.
Purify priest. Kreygasm
Trolden fodder here. Caveat emptor.
They are pushing deck building and tempo play, man- You would not put this card into a deck with low cost spells, are you dumb?
If it was instant cast this card could had been much better. But than it was too similar to the Tortolan Primalist 8 mana guy..
Love it! Maybe not competitive but definitely fun. Just like I love yogg for the meme. Some good laugh and frustration ^^
I want to try a deck with few spells and both Elises in wild :) This card will be a cute activator of pack / map :)
i'm guessing 2018 will be year of the expensive trash. who knows maybe we'll get a new druid hero
