Correct me if I'm wrong but outside of DK (because it needs some base core cards), this is the only AoE revealed so far in the set and its pretty close to being fully revealed. And it's a pretty meh one too. Kinda crazy when you look at how minion swarmy the undead tribe is looking - Spammy Arcanist is gonna be MVP this expansion, especially with all the reborn going around to trigger it.
Sigh... add this to the Priest AoE pile.
In a control deck, which is where you want this, you can't guarantee the empowered effect. That makes it bad.
5 mana maybe deal 4? we have better options for board control
Not one sided board control, tho.
priest has holy nova, and it’s not seeing play at all because there are better stuff, being one sided is not the issue
It also has Condemn, which is one sided 2 mana deal 3 at this point in the game.
Shockingly, probably not that good, given other board clear options that just delete minions instead.
I think I’d just rather continue running Clean the Scene in my control Priest. This doesn’t favor well against the high health minions of token Druid. The staggered effect is nice against Deathrattles, but it often won’t be enough to clear the board against stickier targets.
So a 5 mana flamestrike that hits face, they are pushing hard this undead priest

Yawn.
