Scarlet Subjugator best new Priest card?

Can anyone explain to me why Wrathspike Brute is a demon?

True, I could picture something like Target Dummy as a rogue card, maybe with a deathrattle as a trap of some sort. But if people want a proper taunt minion with real defensive presence then I think they're just playing the wrong class to begin with.

April Fool tavern brawl mb?

Heroic Strike but with cycling.

We still don't know well how Blizz will develop Demon Hunter's class identity, but this is a card that could at least see play in other classes.

depends on how DH will be handled.

HS has been known to cut corners in that department. I wouldn't be surprised if they just pulled a Whizbang for the time being, where building a deck with a specific card (i. e.: Illidan) will open up a Demon Hunter tab.

I didn't actually think it was fake, it just seemed almost comical how it's exactly what people have been speculating for years.

Holy Nova is completely fine at 4-mana. It's literally a consecration that also helps keeping your minions alive....and Consecration is ran in almost any Paladin deck that isn't built on a single gimmick. Spell damage is also a thing.

Your point on Thief priest makes no sense. With enough thief cards you are more likely to get better stuff since what is in your opponent's deck will usually synergize with itself, whereas Rogue burglary can give you completely useless cards and no way to ever play them. (you're more likelky to get Totemic Might as Rogue than Priest)

They also just got 2 solid 1-drops. If anything their early game has improved significantly. NOrthshire was a huge crutch for years and now that the OTK shit is out of the way we might get some other useful draw cards (and if not we can just spam Auctioneer, Priest now has better 0-mana cards than Rogue)

Also, not to be a dick, but 1300+ wins on Priest isn't really that impressive these days unless you only started playing a year ago.

~Let me Google that for you~

To all persons who are saying they whant new classes in HS:

"You think you do, but you don't!"

I dunno man, this is far too elaborate to be fake. All of that art is brand new, I doubt someone would go out of their way to produce that many pieces in the correct art style just for a fake. Plus, this was posted on Polygon, who as far as I'm aware aren't one to spread hoaxes.

As a longtime Priest player, this is insanity.

Insanity indeed... sadly in a bad way. :(

@DoubleSummon: I think reworking the Priest class is a good thing. Don`t get me wrong. What I don`t like is to push the "passive control part" of priest even further. When Reno Priest was T1 it most of the time felt for me, that the Priest just "played for his own" and I had nearly no ways to interact with him, because 90% of what he did was remove my minions without playing something to interact with. I always hated this "full passive control style".

And I am not a totally control hater! I got Legend with Reno-Mage last month in Wild. I only hate the passive removal heavy control decks and this playstyle seems to get pushed at most by the update. I whould have loved a stronger focus on a more midrangy Priest identity like in Dragon Priest. To focus Priest more on a "dragon core identity" whould be much more healthier imo than pushing the passive control identity even more. :(

Demon Hunter seems to be a really aggressive class, how will other classes that try to be aggressive compete? 

but looking at what's available Demon hunter seems to lack the AOE buff cards like DRUID and even Warlock to a lesser degree, and their mechanics seem to REQUIRE minion sacrifice to activate. 

Also lore savvy board members WHO's Natalie Seline? 

i mean, with that argument you could easily design a "Decoy" card that's just a crudely constructed scarecrow of sorts that diverts attention. Rogue has gotten less fitting cards in the past

At some point will get an entire expansion of taunts just to make up for it...and then another one for healing. By that time we'll probably also have infinite deck slots and tournament mode.

I assume that any of the new Priest cards on there will replace one of the existing Basic/Classic cards.

Excluding Velen, which was already confirmed through the post and Natalie that makes 5 cards (2 Basic, 3 Classic), which I assume will be:

Basic: Divine Spirit, Northshire Cleric

Classic: Inner Fire, [Hearthstone Card (Mind Games) Not Found] (because it's utterly useless), and either Mass Dispel (because it's kind of unfair, but without Divine Spirit, who really knows) or Shadowform (no real reason, but it doesn't really seem to fit the direction they're going with)

IN any case it looks like they're going to cut actual draw from Priest in favour of Random Generation....let's see how that pans out. Either way we get yet another 0-cost spell for Auctioneer shenanigans

Fake imo. Blizzard said multiple times that creating a 10th class was not something that they will do. About the priest rework, I think it's too much even for priest

Well, that is not what blizzard say, IIRC, in the past, when they they talk of the subject ,they say that a new class was not in their plans. But it was a looong time ago. They didn't say never.
