9 mana is a lot, but spell is very powerfull. Deathrattles, otk implications with spellstone next turn, some Kel Thuzad shenanigans. Interesting card.
If your opponent is not able to kill your 1/1 minions than the game would be over anyway.
Malygos, Velen, 2x Radiant Elementals, Thalnos, Baleful Bankers (allows you to shuffle radiant elementals/velen back into the deck)
Seems like an easier way to pull off a mindblast OTK, since you never have to be concerned with the Velen/Malygos dying.
You could also pair it with spirit lash to heal for a huge amount and board clear, then use the standard resurrect package to set up later. It guarantees the mindblast OTK combo if you draw it before the combo minions.
Deathrattles and big priest are the other obvious choices. Play this -> quest complete. Would be more reliable than using it to set up an OTK.
I created the deck using this spell :) . Looks pretty fun . I agree with you, OTK priest will be again a thing.

Woah there, this deck looks cool, but wouldnt it be better to wait a bit until more cards are released? MAybe they print out a card taht would be great for this sort of deck. If thats what Zereks spell does I'd think the minion would do something similar or related?
What if (and yes, this is a meme)...
Fill your deck with 7-health minions, play this and Silence to get their health back up, next turn drop a Star Aligner. It's a slow play, but assuming they are 7-health minions, they should be hard to remove all in 1 turn for opponent.
Big Priest in wild? perhaps?
2x Blood of The Ancient One + Ragnaros the Firelord + Sylvanas Windrunner + Kel'Thuzad + Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound
I don't think about it as an OP combo.
Just in Deathrattle priest you are potentially re-filling a board with 1/1 DR minions with some usefull DR effects.
Significantly less powerfull than N'zoth though, but possible to have multiple copies of it.
This just seems too clunky. I mean what are you going to realistically pull off with this other than spend 9-mana on a board that gets cleared by fan of knives.
Maybe in Resurrect OTK Priest, but even there I feel like you're better off just getting your minions killed the regular way.
But how knows, maybe they'll print a 1-mana spell "Silence all your minions" then I could see some Shenanigans with Shadow Visions.
THE ANCIENT ONE CALLS!!!
this card is garbage and won't see play
What about mind blast priest. This card would almost make an otk. Velen, Maly, Thalnos and radiant elemental gets your mindblast to 22 damage. Add in a tad more spell damage in there and it's an otk, or hit them with a 16 damage smite Plus all the regular stuff you can do, like vivid your Velen to double that to 44. Plus you could pick it up with shadow visions to make it easier to pull off early.
It will definitely see play
Before you get to over exited an craft the card , tell me how you gono draw your spells and not draw your minions from the deck for the otk to work @ - @ ? Since its 9 mana you will have drawn almost half the deck not getting any of your key minions is nothing short of a MIRACLE
Psychic scream duuuuh. In all seriousness tho, card has potential for otk but i just dont see this working well enough.
Well I definitely don't think it's a card to build a deck around. I play res/mindblast priest so I can already set up an otk in several different ways, and the low minion count creates better odds that you won't draw something, and that the card will have the targets you want. The card though not something to build a deck around, creates a shortcut to the otk. grab it with shadow vision, and if you already have a radiant elemental you can play it turn eight. This is a long shot, but like I said.... It's not something to build a deck around. If you get it in hand and have already have played velen for example, you can still play it to get malygos spell damage buff for the same cost, it just doesn't come with the big body.
I can honestly see it only with bunch of deathrattles, radiant and spirit lash right after. Maly/Velen would be also good. And considering radiant, maybe also few cheap spells. Aside of thes, and considering how unlikely it will work out, this card it totally trash right now.
But considering effect is really strong, I expect one day it will become core card of some cancer Barnes-like priest. Just not right now. Barnes become scourge not right after it was realized. Also we may miss some not obvious combo here. We didn't even see all cards
If my 1-1 copies die, Will resurrection spells summon them with full stats? I guess so but need a confirmation..
Yes, they will have full stats
So let me get this clear.
With N'zoth you paid 1 more mana, got a 5/7 body and full health and damage deathrattle minions.
For 1 less mana we get a 1/1 board?
This card costs waaaay to much to be playable.
What does a 1/1 board do really? It's a lost turn and thus a lost game.
With N'zoth they have to die first, here no need to play them, you can play this card turn 9. N'zoth you had to wait much longer.
And this is not the 1/1 that is interesting but the deathrattle. Summon two Obsidian Statue (taunt + kill a minion when die) can make a huge difference in a board.
