I would love if we got cards of similar design more often, reminds me of these thematic decks games like Shadowverse have, really fun to play and see it
I share concerns over this thing's stats and mana cost with others
I have no idea why a Demon in Demon Hunter is so big, debuffs/clears small boards AND grows at 9 mana, when other cards with a lot less effect (and tag) would usually cost 10 at this same statline? The design is ridiculous.
At the same time, I dont know if theres a deck that will fit this well enough to warrant too much worry, and its a veery late game card that only seems to matter in a Control x Control match.
Then again, its been a while since I last concerned myself with ranked, so I am aware I might be misjudging this card's worth
its a decent card, but unfortunately there's problems everywhere with using it.
Priest spells don't generally damage minions, so you're counting on your board to weaken a big target so this card can do something. Half the time, you wont have such a board to do so, and the other half of the time you'd much rather have something like Time Rip or Shadow Word: Death. Also, this cost 6 mana. So unless the thing you're aiming at has rush or taunt, you're likely just going to die after playing this card.
Its not really that good. Sharing the same weakness as rez priest, and you deal 3 damage to yourself.
Its a rez priest card, but as was mentioned, it shares the same weakness as the deck, so its either win-more, or you get 2 sheeps or 2 frogs you will never play. Assuming you don't just die to aggro, that is.
This one card is amazing because it basically covers one massive hole in any priest deck, which is its persistent weakness to OTK combo.
For that reason, I hate that this card exist. Its bad enough to lose to rng, now you can't even cheese them off with combo. And brilliantly enough they can get it off Galakrond's Wit, so that's twice the fuckry
Of course, you get to waste their resources as well, but they're fking priest. There's little to no way to end the game immediately, and nearly every card generates something else, so its like youre just cycling their cards for them.
The real question is what will happen if you play Illucia after they have played Illucia? does the deck permanently switch now?
Discover dragons is almost always good. Being able to discount them makes it even better. Just a solid card for priest, and I'm a little upset that this is the one card that it doesn't share with paladin.
Basically 2 mana +2+2 with divine shield...except the divine shield pops at the end of the turn
Strong card? well, Extra Arms was good as a 2 mana card, but that was in combo priest. Now that priest can't draw for shit, I can't actually imagine this thing being played on curve, let alone with Frazzled Freshman
There is no lore on that, but I'm guessing that either the capture and domestication of one could possibly make them more generally visible, or people just see a drunk person with an imaginary friend.
Judicious Junior
Arena Card/Filler
Why is she a 4/9? We'll never know, but its HS so most things dont exactly make sense
Initiation
Reminds me of Holy Water, but costs more to summon it directly on the board
Ehh might see play
Forest Warden Omu
Combo fodder, never played combo decks, so I guess its good for them(?)
Devout Pupil
A buffed Sunwalker
I am sure it will see play, free minions always do
Soulciologist Malicia

I think this is strong enough to be built around
Keymaster Alabaster
Might see some play, but Im not sure if any deck wants to waste a slot for it.... other than Thief Priest, perhaps
Guardian Animals
Might test in my Hunter, using some beasts, but my mind is blank, cant think of a deck that wants this effect
Fel Guardians
Fair card, might be the weakest card DH has got since its launch, but I might be just exaggerating
Commencement
Funny way to spell Recruit + bonus
Reminds me of that one Warrior card that recruits a minion for 6 mana (cant remember its name). For 1 more mana and you get Taunt and Divine Shield
Fair, I guess, but not good enough to see play, other than big decks
Turalyon, the Tenured
Waay too weak to see play, or at least I dont think it will in the current meta
Tidal Wave
A REALLY strong board clear, I like to believe that it might see some play, even though Shaman has enough board clears
Plagued Protodrake
Arena Card, thats all

Mindrender Illucia
What a delightful counter to Mecha'thun Warlock (in Wild) - play their Cataclysm and return them a hand of 0 cards!

That's one nice looking book cover.

New Neutral Minion - Enchanted Cauldron
God, why is this epic, I hope I don't open this.
New Neutral Minion - Robes of Protection
Oh boy, zoolock is going to be nuts.
New Neutral Minion - Manafeeder Panthara
Too slow? would rather prefer to draw the next card instead of this.
New Warrior Spell - In Formation!
I like this, may even add it to my highlander warrior deck.
