Don't you think False Disciple is a bit much ? Especially for arena ?

What a weird card. You've got an Evolve-like effect (Shaman), but it's an Arcane spell (Mage). Then they give the Priest Astral Automaton, a Pogo-Hopper wannabe, and a couple other minions that don't want to be Evolved. The Stars Align doesn't make sense for the set at all.

Shadow Word: Horror is not just crept, but nuked from orbit.

Its just a poor card.

The high cost, priest's inability to gain loads of minions in hand quickly, and the fact that its a card that essentially means your deck dont matter, sort of like the old prestor druids where the entire deck is just prestor and a bunch of random cards strung about.

So, can this card feature even in a limited capacity in a competitive deck? My opinion is no, unless youre not arsed about winning. The best chance its got is as a discover card, sort of like the last hail mary option. And even then you've got to question why this card cost 3 when you consider that Shadow Council, a fairly powerful fun card, cost only 1 and still saw zero competitive play.

Forget the overheal, that's a fringe benefit. The main point is that this heals for 8, and is not completely worthless in mirrors.

Im always wary about giving priest sustain cards because that class is freaking annoying to face against. And the last thing we need to suffer from priest is yet more healing.

Its basically Shadow Word: Void except slightly better because it'll prevent 2 damage per minion no matter their size.

The problem? Well, shadow word void was never a genuine contender even on its day. So even an updated version today would simply cause head scratching. Why would anyone play this over, say, Holy Nova or just plan Clean the Scene? And its worth bearing in mind that this doesn't actually do any damage, so its usage is somewhat limited.

Certainly a tech card. If there's a bunch of swarm decks then maybe this would see play.

Lol, does Priest have an identity crisis this expansion? The Stars Align seems to have the wrong color of blue for the border hey 😅

Three cards, three directions for priest to go.

Except we all know where priest is going next expansion, its going to be control and we'll all be hating the card Grace of the Highfather at the end of that 4 months.

There was once a time we all joked that paladin heals better than priest. Well, team5 must have been seething over that joke ever since because over the last 2-3 years playing against priest seem to requires a near excess of 60 damage sometimes, what with the endless healing over and over.

Surprised to say that the current meta is looking diverse (referring to HSReplay stats at the time of writing).

Priest fluctuates around ~50% win rate but it's been a long time since we'd had 7 classes with positive win rates.

Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any mech discounts in standard for rogue, because I can 100% see them just generating a bunch of small mechs, get them to 0 mana and then spam along with mimiron to get cloakfield and completely screwing the opponent the turn after

Frequency Oscillator says hello 🙃

I know it's only 1 card and at max a 2 mana discount but it's still something to use to generate more Mimiron's gadgets.

Also looking at the previous Festival of legends set, there's quite a few mechs at Rogue's disposal so I'm hoping mech Rogue is somewhat viable coz it would be nice to have something different other than miracle rogue

I think you hit the nail on the head, that cost reduction on mechs is going to be key to making Mimiron work really well.  And even with SP-3Y3-D3R I was excited to see more and maybe play Wild Mech Rogue.  I love any excuse to try and play Cogmaster's Wrench and Iron Sensei in a constructed mode!

Unironically the best card in the rogue set.

So much utility, so cheap, it'll fit into anything including miracle. And that's probably the most rogue-thing you would want out of your expansion.

Cute but its never going to be as good as it seem.

Basically you play a mech on 2, it survives and you graft this onto it and get back a coin. Nice and easy. Well, what happens if you cant magnetize this on 3, play it as it is? That's just a sad play.

So will it see any play? Probably not is my guess. You rarely ever get away with too many 3 drops in your deck that does little to nothing but tempo, and if you have to put a 3 drop in there the vanilla 3/4 would still be the better choice. Better go for SP-3Y3-D3R, at least that has stealth and sometimes do cute things with mimiron.

This one's a weird one, because it can just as easily be the best card and be completely trash at the same time.

Hard to assess this card. I think the only deck that'll play this would be menagerie or tempo deck that really dont care about what they get in hand, because they'll usually be the same shit anyway.

Proto-goblin!

It's been a very long time since a Hearthstone set has satisfied the WoW lore nerd in me, but this one is hitting the spot.

Tutors your mimiron, that's it. It plays little to no other useful function.

Voltron prime perhaps? But come on. The superior card is still the non-titan legendary.
