How does the battlecry improve? Is it every time you attack? The number of demons summoned is spelled out, which makes me think it's always two, so is it like if you've attacked eight times you'll get two 8/4s? That hero power is nuts either way.
Also, with Shadow Word: Nibble around, you can really punish your opponent for having a board.
PS: How do I make it so the site shows Shadow Word: Devour when I say Shadow Word: Nibble using the [card*] (minus the *) tag? You know, the same way I did with Topsy Turvy or Gnomeregan Infantry.

The wording definitely confuses people as some say it draws 1 card only, others say a card is drawn for each minion still damaged. I'd say it's a the former, coz it specifically says any still damaged, so 1 card draw only. Definitely fair and only to be used in control priest, seeing as it heals all characters, including your opponent's minions and face
Might*** be a tech card against aggro decks if they become rampant, but 6 mana might still be too slow. It'll definitely be great in arena or maybe decks looking for freeze synergies
does it draw for each damaged? i was under the impresion that it would draw one card no matter what.
It heals all for 3, which means both sides.
It'll only draw if after healing for 3 there are still injured. So if you play this on one when both sides are still at full health, you dont draw any cards.
I feel the honorable kill on this minion will be difficult to achieve, unless you're playing against a big demon DH. Most times you'll end up holding it in hand and it becomes a dead card. The effect is definitely crazy, but not many 8 health minions seeing play. Will have to wait till the expansion is released to know for certain.

Reading conflicting views on this card and I honestly don't think it's very good. It dies way to easily and only summons another copy after the spell is cast, so most times it'll die to removal and won't get out of control. Also most classes have board clears, so even the summoned copies will die. It's a nice flavor and goes along with other trogg minions we've seen in the past, but other than that, it's a gimmick
Kind of awkward when you consider this is an aggro card that synergises with healing and virtually all healing in Priest is Holy spells, while Priest's only aggro deck excludes those exact healing spells.
Note to self: avoid Rush against Priest if you have another minion that can kill the Rusher.
I'd just like to to remind everyone that Shadow Madness used to be played and that card had a much bigger restriction, imo. Because just a 1/4 for 4 mana to kill off a Rusher and another minion is decent enough. And while fringe synergy is there (Focused Will, Youthful Brewmaster), just as a standalone card, Najak Hexxen can also put a ton of work. And as far as Deathrattle synergies go, old Big Priest ran Barnes despite Barnes itself being anti synergystic with ressurrect effects.
And when the best payoff to Deathrattle Priest in Xyrella, the Devout just doesn't care about Najak Hexxen, the antisynergy seems to matter less. The only reason I see for this not to see play is that we are in an anti-minion meta, even with a nerfed Questline mage.
The card is amazing, yes, but I feel it falls a bit short to questline warlock (for example) as by the time you really want to use the value of the Battlecry, he's deck deep into Blightborn Tamsin and ready to outburst you.
Basically, Xyrella, the Devout is a win condition for a control deck against other control (and a pretty decent one at that), and with combo around, her effectiveness as a win condition diminishes.
Great flavor as a Priest card, though. Works with existing Priest archetypes while being very balanced.
New Priest Spell - Gift of the Naaru
yes of course XD but i think it will draw one card if there are still injured, not one for each.
New Warlock Spell - Felfire in the Hole!
While it will be nicer if it draws a fell spell, you won't have to put exclusively fel spells in your deck for this to be pretty good.
Top 2
Counterfeit Coin + Flik Skyshiv
New Demon Hunter Spell - Flanking Maneuver
I don't see any possible way you won't be getting both minions from this card, so this looks pretty good.

Oh wow, I was trying to do it way too wrong. Thanks
New Priest Spell - Bless
It's no Divine Spirit + Inner Fire combo but I'm sure it'll be tested out in a variety of decks. Maybe a miracle priest that utilises Nazmani Bloodweaver and Sethekk Veilweaver

Even though this expansion looks deathrattle centric, this minion won't see play due to the low health and random deathrattle.

Checks notes... nope, still prefer Topsy Turvy in my Gnomeregan Infantry OTK Priest.

Good stats even if the effect doesn't activate, nuts if you manage to have a freeze spell in hand
New Hunter Minion - Mountain Bear
Is this something Hunter wants? Sure it's a lot stats for 7 mana (with the slight risk of being silenced/transformed).
New Priest Minion - Spirit Guide
This will definitely be used in maybe every Priest archetype that uses both holy and shadow spells.
