Love it
RIP Quest Mage.
Man i miss the times when priest was considered hipster meme class, i belive now blizz will have to nerf it somehow.
Agreed.
My first class I loved was priest. Playing against the odds to survive with smart play against brainless agro vomit hand decks. Some clever dragon synergy plays that could also go against other control decks with a decent chance (though far from certain).
Now the class machine guns its way though the opponent's board and life total. I don't play that deck nor the big priest variant.
I hope once Barnes and Raza rotate out of standard some of Priest's respectability comes back.
I guess at this point in wild you have to hope your broken stuff cancels out their broken stuff. Either that or just play for fun :P
Sounds like a good strategy my friend. These days I'm happy with rank 15 or some other rank floor and not sweating a climb I find boring/demoralizing against the same top tier decks again and again.
I like it. Take all those golems in your deck and play them for a real cost and not 1 mana you stupid jade druid player.
Well, considering your clear the board no matter what... There's little risk to lose tempo playing this card. Considering the new 7 hunter spell, it's a complete joke to other classes.
This card is actually an anti combo card. Fill the board with trash and then shuffle the whole board into your opponent's deck. As a quest mage you don't want to draw priest minions. This gives priest a lot more time against their weak matchups like quest mage.
Like priest needed fewer weak match-ups.
Do you also notice how priests consistently get better versions of cards or overall themes that rogue have?
Psychic Scream > Vanish
Stronger Priest theft mechanics > Weaker & fewer theft rogue mechanics
Pretty facepalm worthy when priests aren't the class built around theft mechanics in WoW. Rogue is.
This is not Vanish. You also shuffle your minions. To his deck.
Either way, this is far superior to Vanish..
I think that you have to consider that vanish compliments rogue's play-style; based heavily on tempo and gaining value in returning minions to your hand instantly.
Whereas this new card compliments priests because it can disrupt your opponents future draws but risks giving them value in battlecry minions.
I don't think either is better than the other because they will never compete against each other for a card slot in your deck. I'm not familiar with WoW lore but it does seem Blizzard doesn't know what they're doing with Priest's identity, a bit of theft, shadowform, and healing mechanics here and there but never enough to be strong and unique at the same time.
To the people saying that "this will put your good cards in your opponents deck", you do realise you do not need board clears if you are ahead on board right? This card is completely busted.
Play this and then play Archbishop Benedictus now that's value
This is busted good for Razakus, even more board clears...
