Maybe this can be an alternative win condition for some Control Lock like Chef Nomi was for some deck. If the opponent don't kill u in 1-2 turn (or u died for the fatigue damage) this card set the game

Yeah that's the main issue with destroying own deck. I think this will be a meme, but maybe they'll reveal a card that returns the destroyed cards. It would still be bad probably, because of inconsistency.
It's very interesting design. The point is to combo it with other card and steal the minion + got some stats. Not to destroy it like Natalie Seline. 2 mana is very low for this effect which makes it quite versatile. I can imagine some experimentation.
It's not bad per se, but on the weak side for constructed. Again, an emerging neutral Watchpost archetype should be enabled by other cards revealed by the end of the season, so I'd say we wait on this one
We're going to see a lot of support for the archetype, it's a dead card otherwise. I like the idea tho! A lot of innovating concepts in the expansion already
I like this card because it indicates that Blizzard is moving more towards a board-centric Priest identity, and away from "I will kill every minion you play until you die of boredom". We're seeing a good bit of damage-based removal in this expansion which suggests a more midrange style. It also opens up avenues for Cabal Acolyte or Cabal Shadow Priest shenanigans.
That is pretty horrible. If you're under pressure, it's one of two things:
1) your opponent is aggro and flooding the board. Aggro usually doesn't go tall. In that case this does nothing, you need AoE, nibbling away a bit of stats off of an opposing 3/4 isn't gonna do you any favours.
2) your opponent is control and is pressuring you with bigger minions with dangerous abilities. You're Priest. You got a bajillion ways of dealing with big threats, and every single one of them is better than shaving half the stats off of the opposing Rattlegore.
I get the feeling that this is meant to be a proactive card for a board-focused Priest. Such decks generally want to develop their board and buff their minons, and don't want to end up with situational removal stuck in their hand. In that situation, this might look attractive on the surface. Thing is, if you're a proactive Priest focusing on board control, what opponent are you expecting to face where this is good? They drop a 4/7 taunt, let's say. This turns it into a 2/3 and becomes a 3/5 for 2. That's a 5/8 swing in stats. Is that really that good when a lot of the time this just sits in your hand against aggro and looks sad? Maybe...but I don't think so. Especially since this hypothetical proactive Priest deck still runs into the same issue it always has. It's not fast enough and runs out of steam due to a lack of card draw. This is a decent to middling card made specifically for what is likely a pretty bad deck. If Amet couldn't make Board Priest work, what hope does the deck even have?

They are the weapon buff spells (e.g. Nitroboost Poison)
New Hunter Spell - Tame Beast (Rank 1)
This is good in at least two copies, combo with lock and load and if it gives you more copies is great

New Warrior Minion - Rokara
3 Stars because it's kinda boring, I don't like Frenzy very much to be honest. She's gonna end up being good tho, I see support coming for this

New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Another Priest AoE in plain sight, I like the flexibility here. One of my favourite cards so far, even if it's a simple effect

New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Can't see how this can take SSS's slot right now, but again in a vacuum is not a bad card. Will see play, maybe in Wild?

Very difficult to evaluate right now, but I think it's on the weak side. Interesting concept tho, opens to some 200IQ plays

Doesn't the 8 mana spell already tutor 2 beasts and put it on field?

Fairly underwhelming, compared to other Priest legendries that traded stats like Vol'jin or Natalie Seline
