Beautiful art
So good
Cool card, really powerful, won't see play because it doesn't do anything to combat quest decks. Feels like the whole expansion so far.
100% this. Unless we see a nerf or quest disruption these hero cards are useless.
Don't 100% agree... quest priest has its strengths and most of the minions in it can be DR'S. Follow that by a Nzoth.
This card has the potential to give quest priest quite the reversal turn and close put against agro decks.
In standard this is Def a wait and see or sleeper card. In wild its just rofl broke.
I have not lost a single game to a quest priest deck the entire expansion, no matter what I was playing.
And they even completed the quest once.
Yeah, probably won't see play as big decks will be wrecked with new Mage's Mass Polymorph.
Don't totally agree, actually. In this quest meta, even without this hero card, I just got to legend with Big Priest (which does *not* run the priest quest, but Vanndar Stormpike and many big taunts). I think this card helps considerably with facing quests, because you get a lot of healing instantly (if you've been playing Lightshower Elementals and Mo'arg Forgefiends, which you do with discounts) without having to wait for anything to die, so it protects you better from over the top damage rather than just minion damage. And what I've found is that Juggernaut is not usually sufficient to kill you, even over several turns, even without this card — I actually felt quite favored against Quest Warrior (mostly I faced aggro quest).
If you can set this up to give you a big reset turn (clearing enemy minions and healing you for huge amount) then you can outlast until you either just kill them with the hero power or with big Amulet of the Undying board.
This will be broken in Wild am sure.
Wow. That battlecry is nuts. Even just a few midrange deathrattles and this is summoning 5/7 taunts and healing you and doing whatever else. Hero power is really strong too and will end the game quickly.
Should've been a hunter card, with hero card being "put a deathrattle minion in your deck and hand".
Hey this is pretty good, if Priest had more useful deathrattles. Without them, the hero power is still pretty strong, you get more than double the healing and nuke potential.
or he mains aggro hunter or some other deck/class that loses to control. there are bad matchups in the game.....so in this case, playing optimally means playing a diff deck!! lol
Broken as fuck like the majority of the cards that priest will always receive.
Yeeeah yeah tell that to priest's winrate right now.
How does Weasel Tunneler work with this hero card? Correct me if I'm wrong, death rattle effect only works if there a weasel tunneler on the board.
Nope, it will shuffle another Weasel Tunneler into the enemy's deck.
Nope, it doesnt shuffle anything. Trust me, I have played a lot of Weasel tunneler decks. The deathrattle shuffles the actual card and not a copy of it. If there is no card, you cant shuffle it.
I see this being a finisher in a more midrange shadow priest deck. Your deathrattle minions are Lightshower Elemental, Shadowed Spirit and the new aoe card (provided this repeats the deathrattle when it was triggered and isn’t a 0 damage). Trade amulet of undying a couple times, call of the grave, raise dead, teron gorefiend… build up your deathrattles until the battlecry is full heal, one sided board wipe, deal 20 damage to enemy hero. The hero power is just extra insurance.
