I like this fireball or tank explosive runes and some dude as as well. must have for all control type.
Lady in White kinda feels like a slow Prince Keleseth sometimes, doesn’t she?
@AkiraTerion
They all seem solid.
2/6 rush is, in a lot of cases, either Fireball or Dispatch Kodo. Spellshifter is interesting, and compares decently to Tainted Zealot, which is fine. Playing it as a 4-1 isn't even that bad in some situations, since it isn't a given that an opponent can clear it easily, and might sometimes trade up. However, you've probably already gotten the value from the spell damage, which is the key mechanic.
I mean, I don't think they'll anchor decks, but they're solid enough.
Fireballs and Firelands For all classes ... oh .... wait. .. it cant go face ... jokes aside i think first 2 cards are pretty darn good, at least in arena.
Pack Fillers.
Royal guard the new bonemare question mark ?
It's a really great card. On one side it's a firelands portal that removes an 8/8 and leaves an 8/3, which is pretty good or it's a small firelands that deals 3 damage but leaves a solid 3/8 body, which is pretty great.
RIP Dalaran Mage :(
I love how kripparian made a video about blizzard needing to stop power creeping cards because they are pack fillers and what not. And now they power creep dalaran mage?? Trash card btw
The Lady in White synergy is amazing! So much so I made a deck with them. Thoughts I can steal? Dragon package instead?

thats a great deck but lack of win condition card or combo
I think spellshifter is just bad. And I think that the 7 mana elemental 4/8 with windfury would be great In a lady white deck
I can fill in most anything. Anduin is the current win condition, but I could add the Prophet Velen double Mind Blast Gilded Gargoyle combo too
To be Honest, I think Lady in White is not a very good win condition, or rather a card to be reliant on for your deck to function. To quote Kripp, "She is as good as her place in your deck". That means, if she's the third card from the top, she hella ripped. As she moves down your deck to the last few cards, her effectiveness and impact (and the effectiveness of your entire deck, for that matter) drops off significantly. You're basically required to draw her before turn 6, otherwise, she (and your deck) becomes trash. Who knows, she might be meta-defining. However, I think that she would just fit in nicely in any control deck, maybe not so auto-include as Chameleos (seriously, that card is bom-chicky-wow-wow in any Priest control matchup. Yeah, it's quite bad in topdeck mode and against aggro, but the VALUE against control though).
If she's late or the game goes to fatigue I can play the ever-fun Archbishop Benedictus. Definitely needs some early game, board clears (Psychic Scream?) And either healing or more draw, but I have high hopes
Gilnean Royal Guard 10/10 artwork !!!!
All of them are playable. And they are all amazingly good with Lady in White. Perhaps a Worgen Priest will be a thing.
If Lady in White deck is a thing, some shapeshift cards can actually be played there. Maybe not these ones though. Also Spellshifter looks pretty strong. I believe it would have fitted shamans from Karazhan meta, possibly it will fit something else.
well if gilnean guard works as charged devilsaur when summoned ... what about master oakhearth pulling gilnean guard and radiant elemental.
then you play divine favor for 1 mana +inner fire = 16 damage + board with 5/5 2/3 and 16/16
- *Charged Devilsaur.
- *Inner Fire.
- Rush only allows minions to attack other minions, not the opponent's face.
Besides that, your idea seems pretty good. However, Master Oakheart can always be relied upon, and Priest really needs those 2 and 3 attack minions. Further, your board is INCREDIBLY susceptible to board clears. Simply hard remove the buffed Gilnean Royal Guard, and all you're left with is a 5/5 and a 2/3 and a random 1 attack minion on turn 10. That's pretty bad. Also, that's a lot of resources to pour down to get one 16/16 (Yes, Edwin VanCleef is a thing, but Rogue doesn't need a 16/16. one 8/8 on turn 5, and you can snowball to a victory); I would rather play Master Oakheart in Druid, and get Drakkari Enchanter with Dragoncaller, alongside 2 other dragons on turn 9. Just my opinion bro.
All three of these cards suck and so do the 3 Warlock reveals yesterday. Overall the power level seems fairly low in this expansion... it's kinda killing my hype
