    actually a solid card. Reminds me a lot of Lyra

    Makes the "nerfed" Power :Word Shield a lot stronger.

    Also it shouuld be noted that this presumably works on enemies as well as any single target removal will proc this, meaning that you average control Priest deck will run more than enough spells to activate this at least 2-3 times.

    We haven'T even seen most of t he Priest set so there could be even better spells still left.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    on a minion? not a friendly minion? with so many priest spells being buffs now (and stealing the paladin identity by doing it..) this card is crazy value.. and it costs only 2 mana?

    couldn't be printed with divine spirit in rotation.. but in wild lyra priest is going off as soon as turn 4..

    it's a more restricted lyra, the reward is the same but it has a harder requirement to have the same reward.. but it costs 3 less.

    Priest have tons of cheap targeted spells Forbidden Words, Power Word: Shield, Lazul's Scheme, Silence, Inner Fire, Embalming Ritual, Holy Smite, Shadow Word: Pain, Penance...

     

    Lots of them can be used in control priest decks.

     Lyra 2.0. Let the fiesta turns begin and if you don't succeed the first time, there is a second one in your deck.

    Most Priests run Stuff like Penance, Forbidden Words and the Shadow Word Cards anyway. You can easily slot one of this Card into your Deck and combine it with 1 or 2 Removals.

    I am glad Divine Spirit is rotating so that now we can have cards like this for priest.

    A worse Lyra, it has decent stats, but I don't know if it will see play.

    The effect of this card is interesting, but with the recent nerf to a lot of Priest's buff cards, this card might not find a deck that runs enough spells that trigger it's effect.

     Interesting card, but we will need to see the other priest minions first to understand how good it is.

    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.

    Yes yes, a mini Lyra. But why was Lyra so good? Radiant Elemental! I'm taking this to wild.

    It is an interesting card. But it can't quite work like Lyra, because it can give you spells that don't target. Priest has several of those. And no way to reduce the costs of spells unless you run Galakrond.

    It's a neat mini-Lyra, that's a lot cheaper but can only proc from targeted spells. Might see play in some weird miracle-style decks.

    Solid card with a strong effect. Right now in standard almost all Priest spell targhet minion, so it's guaranteed that we will use/abuse this card

    You really need a cost reduction mechanic to get the chain-reaction going; Radiant Elemental, preferably, but Fate Weaver can work. Will "Galakrond (Buff?) Spell Priest" get off the ground? I'm thinking not.

    Has potential. Could really see this getting added into Raza Priest in Wild.

    Really nice card, I will surely try this out. Seems like Arrakoas will stick around for this rotation year as well, good for them!

    op card for card generation. Naturally most priest spells are nice to have so this is pretty nice card that can fit in any priest deck.

    I would hate to get this as an epic. It generates value but I don't like random minnions as generated value. That's the reason priest galakrond is bad.

    Probably better than Lyra in most cases, but that is not a huge accolade. Very high randomness hurts this card, as you are likely to generate bad or useless spells fairly often when trying to 'go off' with this. Probably sees some play as a 2-drop that generates cards with a good statline.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    With all the buff cards revealed, this can be a solid card on many priest deck.

    It's a cheaper lyra that's somewhat conditional.

    makes that 0 mana +2 Health spell a lot better now

    I see combo, combo everywhere.

    Imagine priest gets their version of Libram of Wisdom in some sets. Priest becomes new mage but hey, no burns this time.

    Together with Galakrond this can create endless value.

    Decent enough I guess, not too much of a fan of it though

    Solid stats even without taking the spell generation into account, so it'll definitely be playable.

    I really like this card. It looks like priest Will be a lot more Fun and dynamic to play and play against.

    While the range of spells you can play to synergise with this card when compared to Lyra the Sunshard is much smaller, this card comes so much earlier on the match and it snowballs so fast.

    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)

    Lyra the suns hard beats this in every way. Casting spells on minions is too conditional
