Maybe in some wacky wild OTK combo with cheap chargers? In standard it might end up in some face paladin list, but that doesn't have any other support.
This is a much better watchtower than a other one. It's got better stats than Skybarge and the 5 health makes it slightly challenging for your opponent to remove straight away. Might see play, but not holding my hopes up.
Will this make Desperate Prayer a playable card? I'm still doubtful, since Flash Heal exist, and will likely be the main activator of this card.
Depends on the meta, I think: if there is a lot of aggro, being able to clear one turn earlier could be very relevant and healing the opponent doesn't matter. For any other turn than turn 4, Flash Heal is better indeed.
If there is enough heal synergy, maybe both could be run, but then the limitation is probably Priest's ability to self-damage, which is not something the class naturally has, so they'd have to rely on Raise Dead and neutral cards like Pen Flinger.
Pretty sure this is just very good in just about any Priest deck that runs any amount of healing.
The best part is probably that there's no real ways to play around this because you can't possibly pppredict how much a Priest can effectively heal before playing this.
Least the legendary says summoned and not died. Still looks like a win more card to me, but would be delightfully surprised if there is a deck that makes the cut
At first I gave the 2 watchtowers 2 stars, but then I saw there's a legendary that synergises with them, so 3 stars for the whole lot. Still remain unconvinced that these cards would see play, looks more like a gimmick to me.

Watch post synergy could potentially spawn a new archetype
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Greatly depends on the best Frenzy cards that warrior ends up getting, but never underestimate a board-in-a-card card.

Insane value

A little too expensive for a deck slot imo

I like it, but the fact that it only ever activates after trading/going face means it's a rather slow way to buff up your boards.
Probably has some more context, but I think it's still just good enough to include in a tempo deck unless there's just no space for it.
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Wow this card can be insane! You ideally want to pair Xyrella with low cost healing spells like Renew and Flash Heal. Here are all the other "restore health" cards we can expect to see in the year of the gryphon: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?hsclass=12&hsclass=6&text=restore&card_set=58&card_set=55&card_set=59&card_set=56&card_set=51&collectible=yes there not much, but the list will grow with each new expansion released.
Basically this card is amazing against aggro/midrange and absolutely useless against control/combo

This seems almost dangerously strong.
I mean, imagine dropping this as Druid on turn 1 (Lightning Bloom) against a Zoo deck. They're just completely and utterly fucked.

People are sleeping on the outposts.
Crossroads basically gives you a scaling buff machine against any spell based deck while Mor'shan hardcounters swarm decks.
Like...if you ever manage to take the board and play this afterwards it will almost guarantee you'll keep the board for a while.
