That is a huge card! N’zoth gonna love bringing this back, and I love the flavor and card name of this card
Antique Healbot can go cry in the corner. This is a LOT of healing, PLUS good stats for cost!
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Wow - with some of the other New Cards that give Health to your minions when healed etc. this seems pretty bonkers.
Very good on it's own but i think this will be some sort of Power House in Priest.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Uh... Why wouldn't Priest run this? It's got great stats with fantastic effect so nice it activates twice (and maybe five more times)! If this only affected minions I'd perhaps be less generous, but the fact that it heals face makes this card more than excellent.
Also: Elementals make me happy.
EDIT: Apparently this has Taunt and not Battlecry. Slightly less insane, but still a viable card!
Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.
control priest is back
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
That's a crazy lot of healing! Nice when Lightsteed is on the board. Also quite annoying to get resurrected, one could imagine.
You better OTK priest now because they wont die with little amount of damage each turn with all those heal cards.
Murlocs <3
Battlecry and Deathrattle was insane. Instead it's Taunt, not Battlecry. Still very impressive. 6/6 Taunt would mean healing an additional 6 health sometimes.
OBLIVION!
Nutty
Banned for spamming.
Very big value for priest .It even has taunt so you almost every time get the heal.Maybe you can make a control deck with n'zoth?
that is actually pretty damn massive in terms of recovery. 6 mana is a decent slot for that and if your opponent is playing the burn game and doesn't have silence this just wrecks them completely.
Also comes back from N'zoth for whatever that's worth
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
This card looks so freaking good. Solid stats, heal 16, and basically full heal your board twice. Plus, it's an elemental with a deathrattle, both of which have had archetype support in the past. Feels like an auto include
Edit: Welp, it's not battlecry/deathrattle heal 8 anymore. Uhhh...still a good card, but nowhere near as strong as I thought it was going to be.
Decent taunt especially after some value trades

Simple design, flavorful and appears strong in priest. Great addition!
Good.solid card for priests that represent the class without being another convincing infiltrator
Good in resurrect priest pool
Rogue DH
Excellent card.
Good stats, solid deathrattle. Not that aggressive but scary if it can proc and heal face.
This should be the way priest take, not ress mechanics.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
A great taunt minion, which has an elemental tag, and might push nzoth priest, something I would always agree with.
A 6 mana 6/6 with taunt isn't dreadful. It's by no means good but it could be a lot worse. So healing all friendly characters by 8 seems very OP.
Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and comedy genius.
Okay, so it's not absolutely insane in terms of healing, but now it looks like just an okay card for N'zoth Priest (both of them actually)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I hope this not be a toxic card
Full board heal for a very low price. Very strong imho
Extreme value
Who doesn't love some fluffy healing!!!
(me)
It seems pretty darn strong but why do I still feel like it won't see too much play? Maybe I fear Silence effects too much, and the instant impact on the board isn't that strong.
AMAZING card for Control Priests, and N'Zoth, God of the Deep loves it! Priest needed a good elemental that wasn't [Hearthstone Card (Blood of G'hun) Not Found]. Healing for 6 is also really good, i guess this is the replacement for Khartut Defender, but only for priest. Lightshower Elemental seems super solid. I really hope N'Zoth, God of the Deep priest works, because that seems like a fair deck that doesn't feel that bad/annoying to play against.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Ragnaros, Lightlord now has a smaller, better cousin.
Wow this is just nuts, if control is actually a thing and priests can survive till turn 6, aggro decks are doomed, yes!
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Omg they're loving priest now, i won't complain
I'm not online it's just your imagination
Great card - should see tons of play in Control or Midrange Priest
Turn 6 is when most aggro decks push for lethal, so this comes in at exactly the right time to get to the late game.
solid arena cards 8/10
wow so much healing...
Its big, has taunt, and heals for a ton.
But its just a decent card that only really counters tempo-aggro. Most burn decks would want to avoid killing it, as long as they can hit face and the healing will likely be too slow in those matches. Im doubtful because cards like these tend never to make the cut, but with the core set being so weak it may be that playing cards like this past turn 5 is now legit.
So good.
sinergizes with N'Zoth, God of the Deep, res and any heal interaction.
We will see that guy a lot.
By The Holy Light!
This is insanely good. Would've been good without the taunt, would've been good without either battlecry or deathrattle, would be good without elemental tag. With all of them? Autoinclude.
crazy good card. can be rez'ed, copied and even more. 5 star from me
Finally, a taunt minion for priest that I can kill without one of my minions dying.
In all seriousness though this is a very strong card. Compare it to Khartut Defender, this may be slightly easier to kill without the reborn, and it also only dies once which matters for resurrection purposes. But it also heals more and hits twice as hard. This will be a staple in control priest decks for a long time. It literally does everything you want from a priest minion. It taunts, it heals, it makes life difficult for aggro players, and you can resurrect it.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Great!
Solid card for constructed and insane in Arena too
good card but withput a synergy i dont thnik priests will run this
Looks decent! So glad the rez priest cards are rotating out, so we won't be facing this card repeatedly like we did with karthtut.
Plus Taunt! As a control Priest player I love this card
Great interaction with lightsteed. Pretty promising
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Very OP card! Massive heal, good stats and taunt!!!
Ooooh, big healing for Priest this expac it seems! Works very well with both N'zoths, which is always cool to see.
Totally solid with the Taunt. If it didn't have that, it would still be a pain to deal with on the board.
Solid priest card with upsides they love. Will definitely see play in a few types of decks.
Healbot is neutral. You cant compare neutral to class cards. Class cards > neutral.
the body synergizes with the deathrattle, and it's a LOT of heal.
it has synergy with both versions of n'zoth, and the taunt makes it a prime rez target. crushes aggro.
Not only is healing for 8 pretty good, Lightshower Elemental also has Taunt, protecting minions you already have on the board AND can help you keep your minions out of reach while they're value trading.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Strong taunt, nice deathrattle. Hopefully no more Res priest support :)
Very nice card.
Nice addition to Res pool for priests.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
This certainly is a very very strong deathrattle
-=alfi=-
I love everything about this card. It's great for both midrange and control, and I am excited about how hard they are trying to give midrange tools to Priest.
People keep mentioning Rez Priest, but I find that very strange considering there may not be a full resurrection archetype after rotation. (I guess they must be talking about Wild?) In particular, this card doesn't work at all with Rally! and is unlikely to be fetched by Raise Dead so late in the game, and those are the only two rez spells left in Standard IIRC. There's N'Zoth, obviously, but I don't consider that "Rez Priest" so much as N'Zoth Priest since you can only do it once.
The name's a little close to "golden shower" for my taste, but whatever.
I love this. Its a solid mid game body and its far less toxic than that squid with the mask for five mana. On top of that it gives Priest something I feel they have actually lacked the last few expansions, which is healing.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh. Do you hear that? It's the sound...
...
... of Silence.
(Good card, though).
This card is AWESOME must have in any control deck and probably will be in every priest deck in standard
Sad it not dualclass
This is a great card with good stats and man so much healing to board! It's gonna make Mordesh Fire eye run for its money.
This even works with both N'Zoths so I'd be shocked if this sees no play in either format
This is a pretty good minion with a great effect. I wonder if it would work with the horse.
Yuck. So Priest gets a trashy version of libram of hope that heals everything. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
taunt plus heal , sounds too good to be true
I love this kind of minion in Priest. It's not overpowered, but it is very thematic and will feel powerful. I suspect it won't take the place of Khartut Defender in any Wild Priest decks, though.
They just keep throwing interesting tribed minions at any class that doesn't regulary play N'Zoth, God of the Deep. Someone in Team 5 defintley made a contract with that molten squid.
Khartut Defender was annoying enough. No Reborn this time, but heals 8 to the hero and all their minions, instead of just 6 to the hero only. At least Grave Rune is going away.
Midrange is back on the menu!

Seems pretty good for control priest. Will there be a control priest or shadowform will take over?
Ah, control priest and quest fulfillment.
Why is it that Taunt it's a thing in priest...the class it's about healing not tanking LUL.
Good for N'zoth, but when you want to heal, you typically want it right away
Solid card with a really nice aoe heal. Priest can rez this and maybe combo with Lightsteed
Control players will love this!
Another tool for Rez Priest, thanks Blizzard
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
This is just a better Khartut Defender for Priest. Granted, there won't be any resurrect synergy, which was the main way Khartut saw play in Priest. This makes me curious if Lightshower Elemental will see play in a more straight up Control Priest, but it may be just more efficient than Khartut to do so.
For glory, honor, and gold!
This could be an additional inclusion for wild big priest and I know that deck likes big taunt minions.
Ribbit
This a great control card!
... the set already seems so strong - wowzer 8 is a big number for not so much mana- and its on a stick, and it has that inclusive wording : Noice!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
A pretty strong Taunt + healer. 6/6 Taunt that just heals you for 8 is good, and it also heals your other minions.
This a great control card!
This is gonna be so annoying if a resurrect deck manages to abuse it...
Solid card. Seems like Rez Priest never dies...
A solid card but I think against mage it would be slightly less useful and easily gotten rid off.
Happy as a control priest player. Very sad as a res priest hater.
Seems alright, at least in standard. Though if standard gets new resurrect stuff, this might end up as frustrating as "fElLoW hUmAnS", but we've got to stay positive, right?
I actually really like this minion, and the 8 health going to ALL friendly characters is an excellent heal option.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
I'm a wild player, and this upsets me lol
CURSE YOU BIG PRIEST!!!
4 Mana 7/7
That is a nice stall for Priest. Obvious value in the taunt but the board wide heal is where it will really shine. If you already have some value trades set up, this guy will just make the value even better.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
I'm not as over the moon about this card as most people seem to be. In standard, I think Khartut Defender would have been prefered if it wasn't rotating. Still, in case some taunt/heal/res priest is popping up, this card will be in there.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Infinity priest
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
You do not want to see this card get resurrected! (which is exactly what is going to happen a lot)
Another puzzle piece for control priest. Hopefully this is more fun to play against than current priest
Nice Control card
a less annoying priest control card, i approve
A nice card to replace khartut
Packs too much defence for 6 mana not to see some play. That's an important slot in deck to fill, this is a better Khartut Defender, which was played plenty (but it was neutral, which made it important).
Very powerful, should see play in every Control Priest, maybe even a board orriented Midrange Priest?
That's a quite big healing effect))
Sounds like a very good card.
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
This will see a lot of play!
I'd like to see Tyrande taking some showers anyway
For The HORDE!
This is a buffed Antique Healbot that will functionally replace Khartut Defender once it rotates in Standard for priest.
Feels like a must have for control priest.
It's not an infiltrator so I already like it.
Elementals make me happy.
Heal Priest may be back
Too bad the quest is gone
Good in various priest decks. One of two new priest card that I think we'll see after expansion in decks.
Awsome taunt
Quite a lot of healing to face - good survivability to priest
good
Very strong defensive minion. Might work nicely for a Control Priest in an aggressive meta. Also works to heal your other minions, so you can make better value trades.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
great body great deathrattle. Not groundbreaking but a solid choice
Strong minion with a great Deathrattle. The Elemental tag doesn't seem to matter much, considering the class it belongs to, but still very good
Taunt nd heal, I like
Spicy.
This may be the replacement for Convincing Infiltrator that Priest needed. Thank god they didn't get any Res cards.....yet.
a lot of healing. not sure if it's enough though
Strong card for heal priest.
That's a really strong card. It's nothing fancy, but it helps Priest in everything it wants to do.
Welcome to the site!
Good taunt with heal and elemental for N'zoth. Will be good.

I've never been so happy to see a minion die. It's like a reverse Anomalus.
