Why do people say this is a bad card? Turns 1-4 it's worse than Holy Ripple, true, but 5-9 it's a 2-damage AoE which absolutely is useful. Breath of the Infinite wasn't always used on either turn 3 or 4, and this costs 1 less. Later than turn 9 makes it even better!
BoI was best used at 3 mana when aggro decks have small minions. This card is completely useless until 5 mana, and after 5 mana 2 dmg AoE has very little value against aggro decks and no value against Control decks.
As an example of how bad this is: If Druid blooms a glowfly swarm on 3 mana then BoI will clear it but this card won't.
This card is worse than Excavated Evil for all practical proposes.
This card cost 2 mana instead of 3 and is also a holy spell, also only damages opponent board
Mana cost: Doesn't matter, Control Priest is known to play a board clear and float remaining mana, especially in early turns.
Damages enemy only: Again doesn't matter, Control Priest rarely has a board that is worth saving. They play cards like Plague of Death because the downside doesn't matter when you don't have any board to save.
Holy Spell: Yeah that is the only redeeming quality of this card. It is almost guaranteed that one Priest legendary will do something with Shadow spells, hopefully, the other one will make this card good.
So what's the class identity for priest at this point?
Well only 2 priest cards right now you cant just tell what is going on. But in general? Priest is a control class. Control means "a little of everything" you cant just hope to see real restrictions for control classes. Just like mage can do everything also (in a different way) the different is that Priest is more about board control and Mage is more about spell damage.
Heal and health buff I think. The other things are mostly gone but they also bring the shadow burst stuff back so maybe also combo?
Its AoE for 2 mana. People is too worry about how good is the card by itself and forget the fact that this is 2 mana AoE. This card just need the right sinergy for everyone start to hate it and said that high impact spells shouldn´t cost less than 3 mana.
But...Condemn is a warrior ability...
It's almost like board clears are staple in Priest.
yea it balanced, so balanced that weak... good aoe's starts from 3 dmg but until 5 turn you can't deal even 2...
Now with the correct Spell school!
I swear I'll remember next time to do that part the first time I create the card...
I don't know, maybe generated? The only way it can be strong is if it did 3 damage at 5 Mana and 5 damage at 10 Mana. And maybe not even because you have to wait until T10😅
Spirit lash is not played because of the 1 dmg to all, but for the lifesteal. In combination with Talnos or any other Spell Dmg minion on a full board is almost full heal to your hero.
2 AoE for 2mana is where this will find the more use. Mid-game AoE that can be easily woven into turns. Plus we must wait and see if we'll get a holy spell booster.
Edit: This is a 2mana consecration. Not bad.
Priest Legendary, also the Mercenary: VELEN 2.0. 7 mana 7/7, double the damage and healing of your Holy spells.
Not the best Priest AoE. Just for the Discover pool
It's actually very good. Spirit Lash is pretty common in Wild and, although this doesn't have lifesteal, gets better over time. In late game, Spirit Lash doesn't kill anything, but Condemn will!
A better comparison would be Holy Ripple. This and ripple both lack lifesteal and only damage enemies
Spirit lash is played instead of ripple, despite the damage to your own minions and lack of damage to the enemy's face, specifically because of the healing. So I'm not sure how much this'll be played, but I think it's quite good
If you google Condemn + Hearthstone, the whole HK/Blitzchung controversy comes up for almost all top results.
Probably not intentional but funny to think about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
