Is this the first colossal minion to feature the appendage in front of the minion itself? I wonder if the positioning when summoned will actually reflect that.
Regardless, this minion is not really all that good. It heals you for 8 sure, but there's other cards that do the same at a cheaper mana cost like Lightshower Elemental, and though it does have monstrous stats, it has neither taunt nor grant you initiative after playing because it attacks at random, at the end of the turn, so its even worse than a regular rush minion.
The stats of this monster is really just the only thing it has going for it. But in a class that rarely plays for tempo, its all for naught. It almost feels like its foreshadowing some other card that synergizes with it, because its a little baffling that its printed for priest, one of the classes that dont do normal mundane legendaries. Maybe some easy way to copy it, or its lure, so this minion full clears the entire board and heals you back to 30.
You can dodge the Lightshower Elemental heal - silence, faceburn, transformation effect, steal effect. For this card you only need to have your opponent a minion. So this is heal, removal and big threat in one card, packed.
Its also 2 turns earlier. If Im going up against an aggro deck, of which the healing is the most relevant against, Lightshower Elemental will heal me for 8 and block at least an attack 99% of the time, as opposed to this card which has a much less chance of appearing, never mind actually doing something.
Both have their drawbacks, and advantages. But if I need a heal and have to choose between the two, I'd go for the one that comes out 2 turns earlier with a taunt.
Why is it always "choose between the two"? You can and should run both because they have real synergy.
Love what it does against stealthy minions.
I love this card because the idea and flavour is so sick, but I also hate it because I can envision myself losing to this card a lot.
Hardly ever play Priest because of how often I become disgusted playing against one.
Now I may have to join them in order to beat 'em.
