1- This dont destroy your own stuff.
2- Circle of Healing is not in the core-set of standard anymore.
3- This dont prevent you from healing while is on board.
Again, how exactly is this like Soulpriest+Circle of Healing?. What we have now is Flash healing and Desperate prayer. So you can coin in flash healing for a 5 damage AoE on turn 4 (or just desperate prayer+this). That is pretty good for rotation. And it becomes really crazy when you get an AoE healing effect becuase you can wipe a 10 HP board very clean with the right cards. This card is really good for Priest because the lack of unconditional STRONG aoe is one of the biggest weakness of Priest in post rotation, even right now we only have 1 unconditional board wipe in a control class that relays a lot on late game.
Auchenai+circle cleared your board as well, this only hits opponent's minions, it also does NOT require you to be damaged, since you can heal ANYTHING, including your own minions, or even your opponent's minions, (for example, renew on an ANY minion to get a card from your sethekk veilweaver, into this is a 7 mana combo that deals 3 damage to all ENEMY minions, and only requires SOMETHING to be damaged by 3 or more).
Auchenai+circle was a board clear that required 2 SPECIFIC cards, while this is a swing card allowing you to clear AND develop tempo at the same time using ANY healing card. Another example, something as simple as Earthen Ring Farseer into this guy, is a 7 mana 7/7 that deals 3 to the entire enemy board. If you have, say, 2 minions in play on turn 8, this+holy nova is an 8 mana 4/4 that heals your damaged minions, and deals between 2 and 8 damage to your opponent's board, depending on how damaged you/your minions were. Hell, if you're playing a tempo deck you could even heal your opponent's face for 3 with renew to then play this and clear their board.
My point is that it's very much NOT "worse auchenai+circle." It's a little weaker as a board clear, since its damage is dependent on the amount of healing you can do prior to playing it, but it's infinitely more flexible and it's one-sided allowing you to swing the board. It's an entirely different card.
EDIT: Honestly even just HP+This is strictly better Dread Infernal, dealing twice the damage to only their side at the cost of 2/2 in stats (which is totally worth for the extra aoe damage).
Where did I say that it was just healing to your face? I said you as in your hero or board. You still need an extra requirement, like you're saying you need minions then you need this 1 of card in your deck and circle of healing. Whether it's face or minions damaged, it's still an extra requirement.
If it's turn 4+ and you or your minions haven't taken any damage then you wouldn't need the board clear anyway, and raise dead is still in rotation, which can deal 3 of that damage to you while refilling your hand. This can also be used with just your HP (and again, if by turn 6 nothing is missing at least 2 health then something is seriously wrong with that game and you likely wouldn't need the clear).
The ONLY thing that auchenai really has over this card is the ability to turn your heals into face damage. In every other regard this is going to end up being better, one sided board clears always are.
Auchenai hurt your own minions - this doesn't.
Very strong
Amazing LP, just, better and better each expansion, this people is Amazing
This will be so good in wild. Priest is already tier 1, this will just push it even further. Imagine using desperate prayer and this against darkglare warlock... disgusting.
So Reno Jackson not only allows you to become rich, but also gives aggro decks basically NO CHANCE to recover. This might become a staple in wild decks.
How many times you keep both reno and a clearboard as priest in turn 10 against aggro? You most probably used reno in turn 6.
There are many ways to put a second copy of Reno in hand, and you could also topdeck him.
Lot of easy combos with this for favorable board clears. Even if you are just running renew and hero power its pretty good
Turn 3 Palm Reading + turn 4 Xyrella and double 0 mana Renew = instant win
Xyrella + Apotheosis +Desperate Prayer and you too can be rich
That's legit. It's funny that she isn't just the first time you restore health, it's cumulative. Could bank a couple prayers, deal 10 each to, say, 2 enemy minions. Full heal.
Now you just need to find a way to give Xyrella the Apotheosis buff while she's in your hand.
Because of BATTLECRY Apo doesnt do anything here.
I'm liking how board centric is this expansion so far, this card is bonkers, give me some Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing flashbacks.
This is an worse requirement than Auchenai and circle of healing and that was just Okay. How is this bonkers? You need to be hurt and have another card. Whereas Auchenai just needed 2 cards.
If you're full heath most probably you don't need to clear the board. The opponent will hurt you enough.
