Mom mom mom get the camera!! Worst expansion coming ^^
Resurrection is a common theme in Priest, so I guess it's good to see a new way to achieve that in standard, but it's kind of hard to get excited about Mass Resurrection. Diamond Spellstone easily achieved the same thing for less mana, and exists in standard alongside powerful spell synergies like Lyra the Sunshard and Shadow Visions. With all of that rotating, finding room for a 9 mana spell like this is a little tough in standard, and in wild the spell will simply be outclassed. It has the minor benefit of getting all of the value of Diamond Spellstone without having to do any upgrading, but that just isn't a big enough deal to account for the 2 mana bump.
A worse spellstone for 2 more mana?
Instead of coming with new idea's, most cards are "been there, done that". Kind of dissapointing really.
1. Auchenai Soulpriest + Maly + Valen
2. Mass Resurrection
3. 2 x Regenerate + Holy Smite
46 dmg ;) ;) ;)
have fun trying to play a combo deck with only 3 minions all of which have to die and can't be transformed, not to mention any stray tokens to disrupt them, of which there are two neutral ones in Standard right now.
If this would ever get popular for any reason it would be completely countered within a week.
Nice 26 dmg combo. Especially with Malygos which only buffs Spell Damage and not Healing....
Tonight, a tale of true terror...
first card in RoS that disappoints me, I guess.
Haven't you see the Dr. Boom's Scheme ?
Everyone: Finally, all the Big Priest stuff is at least leaving standard
Blizzard:
We were hoping that rotation would put a fresh spin on what the classes were doing. So far, the new shenanigans of Priest are looking annoyingly like their old shenanigans, less a 40 HP granting taunt.
I actually like Jepeto, even though it will be probably broken. But well, this one actually has made me re-think about buying the new expansion.
And I have actually played the resurrect clone priest and reached legend with that.
i fear jepeto will be broken but at least it's fresh. This spell is a reprint and i don't like it
Seriously?? More resurrections for Priest? Did Big Priest, the Wall and Gallery OTK taught Blizzard nothing?
Hey, Blizzard, thanks for the resurrection mechanics (° ͜ʖ͡ °) ╭∩╮And I do not understand why some people continue to keep saying about the departure of shadow visions, as if before them, the divine spirit + inner fire were not played, seriously?
Divine spirit, Inner fire and Mindblast were seen as nothing more than meme cards for first 3 years of hearthstone.
You only saw divine spirit decks at rank 20 where it was crushing noobs, and mindblast not even there.
Priest as a class was only played as a value/fatigue class similar to old control warrior and it had no combo finisher.
Shadow visions and mana cheat effects are what allowed combo cards like these 3 to go from gimmicks to oppresive cards.
Mass ressurection is relevant on its own, but without radiant elemental, it won't be an otk finisher at least.
My friend, I know that. I didn’t think it would be a finisher, but isn’t it true that the meta of those times is different now, and then there were no such cards as for example mosh ogg enforcer, 4 copies of which not every class can remove from the board, survive with such the walls are not a difficult task for the priest. And also, I think I recall that in the classic Hearthstone there were no such ultimatum AOE among the priest (and in other classes) as now, do you think mass hysteria is the limit? And in the following, and even in this expansion, he will not be given something better than the Circle of Healing + Auchenai Soulpriest or Holy Nova?
I agree there is more synergy and defensive mechanics now, so it is more likely they see play now.
However, your statement that divine spirit decks existed before shadow visions was simply not true.
This is the first time after 2 years we will see if other synergies are enough to keep divine spirit and inner fire good. In my opinion those decks will be much more gimmicky and will give opponent opportunity to answer them.
Unless of course blizzard prints more ress and mana cheat mechanics again which I doubt. Judging by current cards revealed, priest identity is more akin to old school value, but all of that can change depending on what is printed, so I can be wrong in all of this.
Are you still not scared Mass resurrection? :D
