Oh okay i get it! It's a way to remove your own secrets you don't need anymore, they should have add to the effect "when they die turn back to a random Secret"
I think Desperate Prayer will definitely see play.
Aside from Xyrella, Priest also has the Priest of An'she and Spirit Healer for healing/holy spell synergy, and Nazmani Bloodweaver to help with insane miracle combos.
Also even if you can't damage your opponent at all, healing for 5 with desperate prayer and then throwing out Xyrella is a 2 card, 4 mana Flamestrike, which should clear most boards.
Fun synergy for frezy cards. I could see this being played as it is 3 bodies and 2 immediate frenzy effects plus a whirlwind. This is a very strong finisher card and as long as there is a good shell for the deck I could see this being very powerful.
Rank 1 is stupid and underpowered. Rank 2 though is a 6 damage burst for 1 mana, which is absolutely nuts. I don't think you will hit rank 3 very often given that you are playing an aggro deck and probably don't want to hit turn 10. I think this will definitely see play as a form of burst in aggro decks to close out games.
By itself it is a 3 mana 3/4 rush that has the potential to get bigger. That by itself is playable. If you already have any minions on the board however this can immediately buff your board and create a big problem for your opponent. I don't see why this wouldn't be played in any aggro/midrange warrior deck. It is an independently strong card that also buffs the rest of your board for free.
With hero power it is pretty mediocre and nothing to get excited about. But when combined with just about any healing card, the damage to cost ratio is pretty good. This won't break the meta since it is just another board clear, and it may not be terribly powerful since you have to put multiple resources into it, but is should be a strong tool in the decks it is played in.
I doubt this will see any kind of competitive play, and I don't think blizzard intended for this deck to be played competitively. I think this will be fun to mess around with and find synergies for, but a "watch tower" deck will likely never be meta.
Really good card actually. This can be quite a big AOE effect, and priest LOVE their AOE cards. Renew already sees play in every priest deck, so you already have the potential to do 5 dmg AOE (3 from Renew +2 from hero power) for 7 mana. This actually makes Xyrella a Flamestrike with a 4/4 body alongside it.
The only negative i can think off, is the fact that she costs 4 mana. This means that it's harder to play her alongside Kazakus, Golem Shaper. If Priest had a LOT of draw, i wouldn't have minded that much. But because priest DOESN'T have that much draw it's harder to play both Kazakus, Golem Shaper AND Xyrella in one deck.
easy solution:
All spell Priest with just Kazakus, Xyrella and Insight

Are we going to see lock minions that come on board after being milled?
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
If only the slots for secrets were more than 5...

New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
This needs at least 2 other minions for the opponent to even care abour idk about this card being any good.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
This seems meh at 1 pretty good at 2 and insane at 3 or more. This is a great finisher for outpost decks but we need to see more of them.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
It's quite a little effect for an epic 4mana drop that can't attack... it's all about the opponent to manage this

I was lucky (and insane) to finish all of the XP achievements like a month ago except for 12-0 Duels run, which I won´t even try to complete.
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
This will probably be pretty good or pretty bad depending on the meta. 3/5 is decent for 3 mana so seems okay.
New Warlock Minion - Blood Shard Bristleback
Whoah! The new Warlock archetype is remove cards instead of adding them to your deck (with the soul stuff from scholomance)

how much xp to these actually give you?
New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental
This will see a lot of play!
I'd like to see Tyrande taking some showers anyway
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
When i read that name i thought it was a treant killer card

Recruit not again! This can be busted with the right cards or see zero play we shall see.

This card is insane for any paladin deck! This will see a lot of play for sure. Wow!
New Rogue Spell - Paralytic Poison
Seems pretty good for healing against faster decks. Not bad as a buff either in certain cenarios.

This card seems pretty strong in any warrior deck. Can't wait to play it and buff my walls!
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
This is a really weird card. What class would play this? Too slow for aggro.

Deathrattles where are the good deathrattle dh cards tho? We need some decent ones for this to see play.
