Decent synergy, practically guarantees it gives itself divine shield, could be overwhelming if able to be played in a midrange or aggro style paladin (maybe dude paladin?)
Looking at the list of dual class spells, it's a much better card having Discover rather than random. That small difference may have actually taken this card from fringe to playable. Still... there are just enough situational cards that you could potentially whiff. For example, if I decided to run this in Stealth Rogue and got Guardian Animals, Commencement, and Felosophy as my discover options would be a disaster. But seeing as those are the only three I would absolutely not want in that deck, so 15/18 are at least usable choices in that example deck so the chance of not getting at least an okay card is small.
While this is alive on the board you basically upgrade your Hero Power to give bonus health to your minions (like the quest). There's some really decent potential here but it seems to fit mostly in Midrange or Tempo Priest lists and we all know that those don't really work right now.
Synergizes very well with buffs, especially librams to proc itself. May be hard to build a board, but when it goes off it's gonna be a bit insane. Will force people to trade for fear of turn 5 board with divine shield. I'm always a fan of "soft taunt" style cards that force the enemy to make a decision beyond "me go face".
I gave this three stars because, while I think the dormant/spellburst pairing is powerful, I can't think of how best to play it. Is it for an aggro deck to give your turn 5 minions an extra layer of removal resistance?
I can't directly change the article myself, but I did change the review a bit and asked one of the higher-ups to replace the review here with the new one.
This looks like a lot of fun! Doesn't fit in the current top Warlock deck though (or does it?) so we'll have to see a new archetype over take it. Which I'm fine with Darkglare ZooLock going away.
This feels powerful, but it may be harder to get the board after playing an inconsequential minion two turns earlier. At least it appears to give itself a shield.
Early anti-aggro tools will always be playable somewhere. I think this will see play in some kind of mid-range shaman deck. Maybe spell power rises up?

I assume the spell burst works only when he awakes ... correct?

I'd say this is more like a conditional double Arcane Explosion. That's because Immolation Aura hits your own board, while this doesn't.

Really cool effect, but that card don't fit in any archetype nowadays.
I'll try a midrange priest anyways. :D

That's a first appearance of the word "affect" on a card. Great news for custom card designers!
New Priest Minion - Lightsteed
I don't see this getting played unfortunately. However that, it has potential in a midrange priest.

I already love these mini-sets. Seeing two expansion keywords combined is so cool. It really expands what each keyword can do.

Pretty decent early game board clear that scales well with spell damage.

I doubt people will stop pointing it out until the post is edited, as reading is hard. Is it too late to change it?
Also, we really appreciate what you do - thank you for writing these things up!
