This package could be used in Spiteful Priest to get back Spiteful Summoners, Lich Kings, and stuff from Free From Amber.
The spirit isn't even that much of a tempo loss if you also include Lady in White.
Also Prince Keleseth.
Prince Keleseth isn't that good with Priest because you have to let out of the deck some pretty good cards like Shadow Visions andDivine Spirit (and maybe others that I don't remember?) that can actually help you win the game. However, experimentation isn't forbidden so it may work out pretty nicely
but the deck we are talking about is spiteful priest, which runs none of these cards.
@agellos15
Spiteful Priest has run Keleseth through multiple expansions, have you ever played the deck?
My mistake man
"a friendly minion", not "another friendly minion"? Does it shuffle itself? Probably not, but who knows
Such effects dont trigger if the minion dies.
it is “After” not “whenever” like if pyro dies to your own spell it won’t trigger...
Community tends to underestimate the value of deck-thinning. Cards that pull junk are typically dismissed, but turn out to be strong. You can construct a better early-game without losing the late game due to top-decking cheap cards. I expect a meta Priest deck to run these.
Obviously comboes with the previously revealed Priest card that gives minions in your deck +2/+2...but at that point, who the hell cares that your minions are bigger? If the opposing deck hasn't killed you yet, they're probably a control deck, which means they have 5+ ways of clearing your board, often regardless of size. So unless this set has enough cards in it to carry this whole strategy on its own, I'm not seeing it.
maybe some shenanigans with Star Aligner
Hmm, this Loa is a 7/7, we may see some 1-mana Star Aligner shenanigans, especially given the multitude of priest resurrect spells.
Spirit card is going to have some seriously powerful Deathrattle synergies.
The other one seems very pidgeon holed though.
Obviously it has a use with the Spirit card but what other 1 mana minion cards could Priest possibly want to fill their hands with?
Maybe some synergy with Test Subject but that's it I think.
Bwonsamdi sounds like zombie. Cool.
It's actually a very direct reference to Baron Samedi

You can just not try to do some super-insane-precise-combo with it, just play it when you have some good minions and trade them away, then play Bwonsamdi (maybe even squeeze a Surrender to Madness in between).
Return of the wild Weasel Tunneler priest?
Not sure if Big Priest will run these but know some will experiment with Zerek's Cloning Gallery.
