HELLO ODD Priest
There are probably some Reckless Experimenter shenanigans to do with this, but I can't see them yet
Spirit is really powerful at 1-mana. Bwonsamdi has a strong effect considering that Priest never had that much good draw.
Question is...what do you do with this?
On one hand it's a really powerful anti-fatigue effect, especially in a Deathrattle deck, but you need to get your minions on the field and have them die without your enemy being able to destroy the spirit (which could be hard, considering Void Ripper tech or Mossy Horror might just become meta)
A little clunky, to be sure. But between this and Paladin's and Warlock's Loas, I would definitely give it to Priest. If this is the direction Priest is going, I'm going to be curious what other set support they print. Rez Priest is already on the ladder. It might get a hell of a boost if this is a good indication of where the new set is going.
Time for Velen/Ragnaros OTK shenanigans
if the spirit is already on the board, and there is no malygos from the gallery, then i think yes. if the spirit dies along with the other cards, then i don't think so, simmilar to using an aoe on a board with sonya on it
Infinite priest with 2 Spirit of the Dead.
Wait...Spirit of the dead seems very good.
It's simply way too slow.
It has no chance of seeing any play
Yeah there is not chance to play a very on the curve minion after a boardwipe on 6. That seems pretty bad...oh wait...
Really people need to learn that not every minion can have a board relevant effect just because cost more than 5.
I like the synergy between LOAs and Spirits. I hope we will see many new archetypes.
Yet another way to cheat out velen and co.
Thank god priest gets bad cards.
I don't want to play against highlander or big priest in standard ever again,
Why did blizzard pick this name? And why this art? And why this effect?
This doesn't resemble Bwonsamdi at all.
Spirit of the dead makes your dead minions zombies and Bwosmandi summons your zombies. EZ
I would say they've just increased the brightness and contrast of the original art, but it really does resemble his WoW art.
Bwonsamdi has a hate for undead though. He sees Sylvanas her actions in creating more forsaken as disgusting, that's why all of his are spirits and not undead beings.
Maybe...
