Well, I don't really thinkk he was ever meant to work as a tempo play anyways. I see him more as a 2-card Lord Godfrey with a bigger body.

You want to combo it to instantly wipe a board and have something left to pressure your opponent. You're not exactly trying to rush this thing out on turn 4....at least that'S how I see it

Teron Gorefiend supreme value

porcupine support right here folks

4 AM and you still working hard to update the site. Thank you for your effort Flux. Can't appreciate it enough.

Wild Yogg Saron priest deck with this and Lyra the Sunshard and Seances!

Yes, you're right, I misspoke. What I meant is that the 12/12 body can't do anything on the turn it wakes up. Between the delay during which you're working to wake him up, and the lack of charge, your opponent will have a lot of time to find the removal they need to kill Magtheridon.

Also, the board wipe is symmetric, and killing your enemies minions is typically only going to happen when you spend mana on your turn (except maybe with Doomsayer), so it's not like you'll have a ton of mana to rebuild your board when he wakes up. At that point, you've put all your eggs in one very vulnerable basket.

Sethekk Veilweaver makes the upcoming Power Word: Shield nerf feel a lot less bad. Priest also has access to Silence and Lazul's Scheme for some easy ways to generate some spells and impact the game immediately with this, not to mention the myriad 1 and 2 drop spells to follow up with on your next turn.

Can I have this for my Galvadon Paladin in Wild please? :S

A much needed card for priest, to generate more value.

But its viability is seriously challenged by the fact that its either too slow, or you just get arsed up by RNG. Imagine Power Word: Shield into Plague of Death into "well that's that train stop a wee bit too early".

It also suffers from the fact that the only good spells targeting minions worth including into the deck that works with this card currently is Power Infusion, Shadow Word: Pain and death. So its susceptible to both RNG and it forces you to put useless cards into your deck, and it potentially giving you useless cards as well.

Maybe there's a way to cheapen spells, or maybe there's better spells yet to be revealed. For this cards' sake there better be or its yet another wonderful situational card nobody ever uses.

EDIT: Okay, I've gone round to thinking a bit and there is a sizable amount of minion targeting spells in priest's arsenal at the moment. But its in my opinion, just not good enough. Its hard to build around this card, to be honest. I just cant see anyone playing Embalming Ritual, Lazul's Scheme, just so this can work.

So least this card doesn't have the restriction of "friendly minions" so you can still target enemy minions and get the benefit. Very strong on turn 2 and I'm sure your opponent will try to remove it on their turn.

This card will give those new buffed classic/basic cards a chance to shine

When i see this card, I feel bad for Lyra the Sunshard. I don't need to cast spells on minions for her to work, but this epic is a solid 2-drop. It costs way less mana, so it has way more combo potential.

Overall it's a really cool card, but I don't like the fact, that Blizzard make other legendaries look so bad compared to other non-legendary cards.

Fact is Lyra should cost (4), especially as a Wild-only.

I don't think they've quite figured out how to deal with Bandle City, but it's fun to speculate!

He can draw a deathrattle for 2 mana after a turn!

Thanks this actually helps a lot.

This one at least seems like a situation where it’d still make sense to run both, unlike something like Soggoth where the newer cards are pretty much just better than the old one

Priest has as a weakness low card draw but a lot of value generation, it's opposite to the other new class demon hunter which has a lot of draw but bad card generation..

You're totally right, but I prefer every day to be able to draw from my own deck that to generate random spells. It's the difference between a good and a bad "mechanic". At last RNG value will keep filling up Funny Moments videos.

ILLUMIMATE! 

More conditional than Lyra the Sunshard, but way easier to combo with.

Priest have tons of cheap targeted spells Forbidden Words, Power Word: Shield, Lazul's Scheme, Silence, Inner Fire, Embalming Ritual, Holy Smite, Shadow Word: Pain, Penance...

Lots of them can be used in control priest decks.

I really like this and I want this to work.

My only concern is that without any draw (at least currently) Priest will have a hard time actually getting to their good cards.

Priest has as a weakness low card draw but a lot of value generation, it's opposite to the other new class demon hunter which has a lot of draw but bad card generation..

How many priest cards even have "draw a card" ATM and without Acolyte of Pain, Northshire Cleric or Power Word: Shield I don't see priests drawing many cards.

on a minion? not a friendly minion? with so many priest spells being buffs now (and stealing the paladin identity by doing it..) this card is crazy value.. and it costs only 2 mana?

couldn't be printed with divine spirit in rotation.. but in wild lyra priest is going off as soon as turn 4..

it's a more restricted lyra, the reward is the same but it has a harder requirement to have the same reward.. but it costs 3 less.
