  • This reveal made me laugh a second because I ask myself, wait, is a 5 mana draw two summon a 5/5 any good nowadays? It's a hard call, but I think it isn't. Go forth card and prove me wrong.

  • This is an incredible tutor. Might see play in Questline Priest to tutor Power Word: Fortitude and Soul Mirror, or even Purified Shard. Even if it doesn't hit those, it thins out the deck to more reliably draw the cards needed to complete the Questline. Very interesting card.

    Well, at least it is more proactive than say the new sigil that summon a demon on your next turn.
    This one brings a body right on, and may tutor two spells. Seems useful to me

  • It draws two cards in a class that can't really draw much. This is just good.

    That it is a deathrattle is slightly concerning, but that means it does synergize well with Xyrella, the Devout, so priest is not lacking in any card draw for much longer.

    A small issue in that it draws specifically a holy and shadow spell, which means you can't play it in shadow priest or its literally just a Big Ol' Whelp. But overall a nice solid addition to priest's arsenal.

  • Taunt, deathrattle, draw 2. What more can you ask for?

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

  • Wow, this is a really good deathrattle minion for priest that draws 2 specific spells from different schools. Nothing about this card is bad, and it might see play in a non-deathrattle focused control priest,

  • This card is crazy strong. Premium stats and draw 2, synergy with Xyrella, the Devout? Busted.

  • Truly excellent card - solid stats for a taunt, and the deathrattle is a lot of card draw for a class that has very little card draw. The synergy with Xyrella, the Devout is great, and is particularly nice because it can't draw you into fatigue like a generic "draw a card" deathrattle might.

    It's also potentially a tutor effect for Questline Priest, as the Purified Shard is a holy spell. That's certainly not going to be the best deck for this card, but it might be fun to toy around with. Kibler's Questline Priest ran almost no spells and tried to use High Abbess Alura to cheat out the shard. This could provide some redundancy on actually getting your win condition without polluting the deck and ruining that cheat.

  • Unless I missed something, Purified Shard is not a Holy spell.

    Don't forget taunt.  Which makes it better than Big Ol Whelp.  It can certainly see play in shadow priest

  • AMAZING minion. Works really well with Xyrella, the Devout and its card draw in priest. Which is something priest often lacks. Must-include in many slower priest decks, and a must-include in Questline priest. After all Questline priest is starving for good 5 drops.

    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.

  • 5 mana 5/5 taunt draw 2 cards is great value.

  • This will definitely be used in maybe every Priest archetype that uses both holy and shadow spells.

  • Tutors usually find a slot in decks and every priest deck wants to run at least couple of spells so why not play it?

  • Priest has a lot of good mid-range support now.  I like this

  • I will never not like targeted spell draw. This will help draw both board clears and healing/buff spells. Perfect to help survive into a late game plan.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

  • Barrens Priest just might be making a comeback in Alterac.

  • Wow it's very powerful, draw 2 usually cost 4 mana, but this carda even have taunt and a good body. Very powerful

  • You're probably going to be drawing two spells, because Priest just has so many of each school that you'll just incidentally have enough of each. It's also probably a little too much mana to be a useful tutor for like a specific combo or something, but always worth keeping in mind.

  • Well-costed Taunt that also draws two cards when it dies? Sounds pretty good to me. Great way for slower Priest decks to stay alive against aggro, while having enough Attack that it can actually threaten other decks. This is a very good minion for Control Priest, we'll see if the deck can make its presence felt.

  • Powerful tutor card. Even draws 2 other cards, just wow.

  • An overall good card, which helps Priest who lack card draw.
