That seems pretty insane. the only downside I could see is that you can't always conserve your charges when trying to actually curve out. I guess you keep the weapon in hand until you actually need it.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Can work as a board stabilizer at mid game. More stuff for shadow priest.
By The Holy Light!
As Shadow Priest, you're going to be casting Shadow spells anyways. Why not throw in a 2 mana consecration in there too?
I'm not sure how this will work out. It could be helpful for to clear out aggro boards while you are focusing on your main game plan. I don't see Priest wanting this on a consistent basis though.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Yeah it's only 3 damage by itself, but it's UNTARGTED and hits ALL enemies. This is a really solid PRiest "weapon"
Could be real interesting. Helping hold off aggression while pinging the opponent down.

I don't really know how to evaluate this. You're never playing this on curve, and certainly no aggro deck would need this because a minion on curve is better and priest still cant draw decently enough for this to be consistently good.
Does control priest need this? Maybe not. Most shadow spells aren't cheap except for Raise Dead, and there's so many good shadow spells that you can never get full value of this card by playing it early in anticipation of destroying a board.
This is just Condemn (Rank 1) with extra steps
At first I though this was bad, but Kibler really made it shine in yesterday's livestream. You generally have to try to save it for when you need the AoE burst.
More fuel for an OTK. Priest is looking scary!

I can't really complain about a bonus AoE from casting a Shadow spell. Only problem is you might have this equipped, and the opponent might not have that many minions.
I think it`s decent - very nice against aggro.

This is great.
Great against those aggro decks. I am feeling a pattern here. This will really help with th ecurrent aggro domination.

This can really be busted in a world where Palm Reading exists.

Condemn (Rank 1) is almost always better

Shadow Priest: deal damage, fool!

Auto include in the new Shadow Priest archetype. I will definitely take this weapon for a spin on launch day.
Interesting, though really needs some spammable Shadow spells, though turning Void Shard into a Swipe might be good enough.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Well pretty nice for shadow priest

hmm a weapon that can potentially clear the board. Maybe a few times, especially against token decks. Seems very solid, not only in shadow priest, but it could also see play in some control priest decks. Just very good.
In wild it will also see play in shadow priest decks, even though they might not be that good.
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.
If shadow priest were to ever struggle against aggro, this weapon would fix that problem. This Shadow priest is looking quite interesting considering all the support.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
1 damage to all enemies, three times for two mana ! very good

I liked this analogy

Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
I think its going to be one on the weaker shadow priest cards, but its hard to evaluate, unless the 3 dmg comes the same turn then most minions survive through it and the burst on face is fairly small on this
I'm not convinced Shadow Priest will be very prevalent, but still, this will be one of the stronger cards in that deck. The flexibility and face damage of this card makes this a far more powerful card than Condemn in the right deck.
Arena > Wild > Standard
You need more cards, but it's a good aoe and board clear
Seems quite weak, doubt it warrants a spot in any deck. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong!
Seems alright. Performed pretty well in Duels for me, so I expect it'll do okay when you can build your deck around it even better. Might make the cut in Shadow Priest just due to a lack of other options.
