It was nerfed twice (once reducing what it gave charge to, then to it's god awful current effect. It's drunkards were Grim Patrons, and now it has no synergy with anything, because Raid Leader is just better, even with a charge centric deck.
I would like to see how this card actually works, but cool design. I dont have high hopes tho. I guess this will be the golden legendary i get for the bundle.
I know that I may sound insane, but cards are dancing around the website. Like, look at how the spikes of the dragon from the same row can be 1 millimeter lower/higher in one row and Dragonblight Cultist is just somewhere in stratosphere. Sorry, I don't know why it bothers me so much.
Value value value for priest now nothing else without a finisher there will be a blizz premade control priest with no win con and this card will be waste in the arena. Cool card though if Anduid could pew pew enemies faces.
Ah yes, that classic Deathrattle Priest that randomly gets support once in a blue moon. I remember when Chillmaw was occasionally run, but at least that thing had taunt.
Even if you put Reborn or Shadowy Figure into the mix it'S still a pretty slow and unreliable "boardclear"
At best I'd run this in some weird Deathrattle/tempo build where the focus isn't so much board clear but board denial (noone's gonna go wide while this is in play.
Still, at this point Priest has enough decent Deathrattle minions, but no real gameplan. What do I do with all these guys? There's no N'zoth, no Amara and no actual win condition.
They want you to resummon them.
I guess they wanted resurrect priest in the meta.
even then, what's the point. Like great, your opponent won't be able to build a board, but how do you win against any deck that isn't bothered by Hellfire spam?
Rez Priest just doesn't work without a N'zoth like effet (and it shouldn't because the deck is boring and binary)
Not bad, a 3 mana 3/3 that summons something when it dies. It only hits enemy minions, so it will not be too consistent for res priests, which is the best deck for priests right now. It is alright for a more minion/buff based priest deck. It feels a little weird, but I am sure this will find a place in a deck somewhere, it is a very flexible card.
Also, because I like to nit-pick about things, Why does it say "Summon a newcopy"? why not just "Summon a copy"?
My guess is that it is probably made for the new players, to make it more clear to them that it copies the minion without a stat buffs.
But yeah... I think that word is kinda unnecessary too since we got used to hearthstone without a guide/information about copying mechanic.
EDIT: I think its because it can enable mindflayer to become a freshly copied minion that had the same base stat, for example, if the mindflayer have died while the enemy minion's stat has already been affected (let's say its affected by peacekeeper or equality) then it allows it to be summoned back with a base stat of a copied minion no matter what, thus its "new copy".
If you're still being confused, you can try to compare this card with all other cards' text that has copy effects and see any differences between this card and others, especially if it doesn't have to do anything related to copying it to your hand and decks but on battlefield only, feel free to point my mistake if I made an error here.

Priest is so fucking weird right now like why didn't they just let Priest keep its dragon archetype in the first place it was one of the best things priest had going for it aside from mind blast.

Not a bad card for res/dragon priest. The deathrattle makes the card a less reliable AOE, but it also allows you to continuously re-summon the minion. I have a feeling this card will be played about the same way Convincing Infiltrator is being played.
This is not a very responsive card because of the deathrattle, but this will just keep on coming back and bombarding your board with more damage, and when played alongside cards like Khartut Defender and Convincing Infiltrator the fact that it is a little slow won't matter.
Nithogg (5) - Slight immediate tempo loss, but the 8/8 Rush stats the following turn should easily pick it up. Fringe cases where the 0/3s can be utilized the turn they come into play, but not out of the question.
I think you probably saw the eggs as deathrattle summoners. They are plain old 0/3 speed bumps that must survive until your next turn or you get nothing.

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Warsong Commander
It was nerfed twice (once reducing what it gave charge to, then to it's god awful current effect. It's drunkards were Grim Patrons, and now it has no synergy with anything, because Raid Leader is just better, even with a charge centric deck.
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
A balanced Duskbreaker? I think it's a bit slow and don't will see play.
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
Decent, nothing more or less. I think it will be playable, but replacable.
New Priest Minion - Mindflayer Kaahrj
I would like to see how this card actually works, but cool design. I dont have high hopes tho. I guess this will be the golden legendary i get for the bundle.

Sorry, I don't know why it bothers me so much.
New Priest Reveals - Mindflayer Kaahrj & Chronobreaker
except the fact that you only have one in the deck and Priest doesn't play tempo
New Priest Minion - Mindflayer Kaahrj
Value value value for priest now nothing else without a finisher there will be a blizz premade control priest with no win con and this card will be waste in the arena. Cool card though if Anduid could pew pew enemies faces.
Stormhammer
This seems real strong, a weapon that doesn't lose durability only multiplies it's damage over time
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I can only imagine The Caverns Below with more than one nerfs.
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
There are still cards to be revealed.
Katrina and whitemane might help tho.
Mindflayer Kaahrj
No it makes a copy, it doesn't steal the minion from them, also it is delayed until the deathrattle triggers.
New Priest Minion - Mindflayer Kaahrj

DoD Handlock [Theorycraft]
You probably don't want Galakrond and invoke minions in a Handlock deck tbh.
It's more like a swarm card more than a control card.
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
even then, what's the point. Like great, your opponent won't be able to build a board, but how do you win against any deck that isn't bothered by Hellfire spam?

(DoD) Dragon Handlock
You should consider Dragonqueen Alexstrasza as an option for this deck.
There are not bad dragons in Warlock's discovery range.
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
slow antiaggro, but it will see play.
at least not so powercreep as duskbreaker
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I’ve been hammered and hammered,
I’m not what I used to be,
I was a terror with my drunkards,
noweven my synergy was taken from me
New Priest Minion - Mindflayer Kaahrj
Priest is so fucking weird right now like why didn't they just let Priest keep its dragon archetype in the first place it was one of the best things priest had going for it aside from mind blast.
New Card Reveal - Depth Charge
stop thinking about viability and start thinking in memes
BARRELPRIEST.
There is no gameplan. You just explode. Over. And over.
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
They want you to resummon them.

fine 3/5 for me, nothing special
New Hunter Weapon - Stormhammer
I dont want to craft Emeriss man wtf. Jokes aside nice Eaglehorn Bow replacement hope it finds a home I'm happy that this meta will be different.
