Considering that this should replace Mind Blast, it's totally a big loss for Priest. Another nerf that I don't understand since the class is already in a pretty bad spot both on Standard and Wild.
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the world, and loses his own soul?"
Priest's classic set keeps getting worse. At least the Rogue card is in the realm of playable. This is just bad. I understand why they made it, but it isn't good.
This could have been the perfect time to introduce a new board clear, focused only on damage, unlike Holy Nova. I get the reasoning behind the design, but when they feel the need to print a powerful AoE for Priest every year to compensate for how weak Holy Nova is as a control tool, it really makes me question the whole design process. And when you compare this card to Flash Heal, boy, it sure makes Radiance look extra weak.
EDIT: Oh, and one if the weaknesses they described for Paladin was direct damage, the same class that has Holy Wrath, you know, the card with the most potencial direct damage of all time. They could have made a low power damage spell, despite being a class weakness. I mean, one of Druid's weaknesses is AoE and they have Swipe, which CAN act as AoE. Why not do something like that for Priest? Something like, of the top of my head:
4 mana - deal 4 damage. If you target a friendly minion, heal for the same amount. OR deal 4 damage. If you target a demon, deal double that amount (kinda like an exorcism).
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
This was a chance To give priest something useful so that it would Be viable in More expansions. Now priest still needs insane cards if it want To Be viable.
The effect is insignificant and the only reason To run this is auctioneer, lyra etc.
This card looks like Purify 2.0, but it might actually be run in Nomi priest to cycle faster. Still a horrible card overall, but i guess Flash Heal and Binding Heal were already a thing, so they "had to" make it "different" lul.

Couldn't it also achieve the same as mind blast, given that you have effects such as Embrace the Shadow? With less mana, though you need the healing to damage activator.

It can only target your own face, not your opponent's. So no

Ah dang, I didn't read that part correctly, thanks. I should get some sleep.

If they ever wanted to print a card with this exact effect, it had to be a Basic card. Imagine this being from the new expansion. People certainly wouldn't be happy...
I don't understand why they had to put such a bad card into priest basic set. They missed the opportunity to finally give priest a new weapon instead of the same old innerfire combo.
Guess we'll have to craft the strong new cards in future expansions to actually play Priest on ladder.
Only your own Hero? Uhhh.....nope, can't find a use for it. Rogue would have a use for it as cheap heal + combo. Heal Paladin might give it a brief thought. The other classes laugh at this. Priest is crying in the corner.

I suppose ur not wrong. Chronologically, all the other similar cards are just better variants of this, a Basic card :D It just feels so shitty being added after them, but i guess i do appreciate the reversed consistency (intended or not).

The only play i can see for now that is good with this card is if it`s played in combo with Archmage Vargoth so you can heal for 10 but nothing else comes to mind that would make me wanna play this card!

Well, it's a Basic, so it's ok.
But the card is pretty bad nonetheless.
It could potentially fit a Miracle deck, but it's sheer survival, not versatile enough...
Flash Heal
Binding Heal
Deal with it.

Will not see play but good riddance to Mind Blast.

I'd love to play a very low tempo card, in order to be able to 1-for-1 something.
In a class with no long-term game plan.

Priest right now ... :
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Not sure what this is supposed to mean, but I assume you're just being needlessly salty.
It reminds me of Iron Hide with less synergies.
I guess one positive about this card is that it is not targeted, meaning that it has absolute consistency with Vargoth (same way that Mind Blast did).

True, but then someone would ask themselves why they would run this spell, when they could use Divine Hymn instead.
Because this is 1-mana cheaper.
Because 1-mana cards are easier for cycling with Auctioneer and proc'ing Pyromancer.
Because it reduces the cost of Grave Horror by 1 but is cheaper.
IDK maybe you run both or one of each? I'm not saying this card is a knockout powerhouse of broken absurdity, I'm just throwing out some ideas.

1/5 Could be a cheap spell activator in wild. Other than that not much hope in standard.

It is 1/6 of the Reno Jackson. I dont know why I wrote this but this is very bad. I want to see smth to resurrect, not this....
Ah dang, I didn't read that part correctly, thanks. I should get some sleep.
It can only target your own face. So if you want to nuke yourself 5 damage be my guest.

Imagine making Priests basic and classic set worse.

My guess is that with Mind Blast being sent to HoF, Priest is likely to get some good stuff next expansion.
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.

They could have made it targetable to "friendly" to at least make it decent, while still avoiding any potential burst damage usage.
As it is, it needs an incredibly weak Standard set AND meta in order to find its own place in a (Miracle) deck.
Only your own Hero? Uhhh.....nope, can't find a use for it. Rogue would have a use for it as cheap heal + combo. Heal Paladin might give it a brief thought. The other classes laugh at this. Priest is crying in the corner.

Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
could heal 10 and still be fair or cost 0... should definitely cost 0..
