Cool! I don't care too much about the card at a mechanical level, but knowing I had a hand in releasing him/her/it while helping Hagatha in the Dalaran Heist makes me care a bit more.
It's the type of card that doesn't seem good and then someone finds a very cool combo and it becomes a very good card. A combo with a Hunter deck it's the only that comes to mind.
Good point. Other than being 2 mana cheaper this is worse. Only way this will be part of the meta is if faceless gets hall of famed. Faceless can target your own minions too
It's much better than it seems, would you play a 3/3 deathrattle: summon a 3/3? that's the worst case, I don't think any deck got less than a 3/3 to play early, even a 1/3 is ok to copy as a combo priest or some mech to magnetize zilliax to it latter this card can be good against everything, but OG freeze mage which didn't ever play any relevant minion.
Actually is OK against aggro, a lot of aggro minions are 3/3s which are good enough to copy you are getting 6/6 of stats fro 3 mana that's quite good actually and it trades 2 for 1 vs aggro minions this card is really good in combo priest cause it wants minions that are sticky so this looks like ti got no home at surface, but actually there's already a deck for it.
i guess bc it doesn't copy buffs and stuff like that. it's a little bit inconsistent compared to cards like cube in the past
It actually isn't. Cube kills the thing and then it can only be summoned a new copy. This makes it possible this is triggered with the enchanted/buffed version on the board. It doesn't get the buff (or the de-buff, like hunters mark) and the text is actually relevant.
It's cheaper that faceless, which is good, but slower as an effect so gives room for counterplay and also can't trigger again via shenanigans like re-summons and reborn cards. Great arena card at least. Someone might find a good use in constructed, but as it stands I don't see it happen.
It's a pretty good card for a Dragon hunter deck. Always having a 3 attack weapon it's pretty good. Let's hope that Dragon Hunter decks are good enough and this card 'll see a lot of play.
This card is really good, you get a 3/3 for 3 (which is a 2 mana effect in constructed) and more stats so as long as your opponent is midrange or aggro you are expected to get at least a good value for the mana cost and priest got good tempo on removal with SW:pain/death
it's actually quite good on a combo priest mirror for example.. the average case is very good for this card you don't have to even get a 8/8 getting a 3/3 is already a lot of tempo.
If the meta is tempo driven (as almost always) and if most match ups are not control/combo (and even then you can find some cards to copy) this card would be a great inclusion! definitely would be too good if you could run 2 of these in a deck.

A good card for a Dragon Priest deck. It has good stats and it only damages enemy minions. The downside is that it doesn't have taunt so against aggro decks it can be ignored. Maybe you play it after clearing the board?
priest has ways of activating its deathrattle (also can give it reborn).. i think this could be a pretty powerful 5 in control priest. doesnt matter that it doesnt have taunt bc u threaten with a possibility of triggering multiple times
I don't think this card is good and at the same time I don't think that this is what priest want.
Talking about the card itself we already had cards with similar effects and they never were good enough. Is similar to the mage secret, the difference is that here your opponent can go face with all his minion and completely ignore it. If they decide to not ignore it is only because they can trade with the minions that would die anyway and keep one with more than 3 health.
Basically giving you opponent the choice of what happens and when isn't good, and is even worse if we are talking of turn 5 where things starts to get nastier.
A proactive dragon would have been more appreciated at this point, i don't see the win condition of a control priest of any kind. If is just running out opponent of resources it will work only versus aggro, hearthstone is far away from the time that "fatigue" decks existed and worked. Now decks generate too much value and most importantly have huge powerspike turns that will close the game even if you would eventually wins the value war.
Galakrond version can at least use Talanji for a single powerful turn, which i don't know if it will be enough.
If it had Taunt like Chillmaw, I might have given it 5 stars. As it is, you have to activate it yourself; the card is okay, but I think you can do better.
That's where I'm at with it, I think at 5 it's a bit too slow against aggro, but Priest does have Reckless Reclaimer for an easy trigger, so maybe something like that could find it's way working. Either way it'll be fun to give it a tr
In standard, Mindflayer Kaahrj is an okay card that people will be excited to see off of Galakrond's hero power. Where it could really shine, though, would be Battlegrounds. Make it a tier 5 or 6 unit that lets you choose a target in Bob's Tavern to summon as a deathrattle. Gold version could summon two new copies, so that if/when you get a gold version you'd have a 6/6 minion with as many as four minions attached to it on deathrattle.

Absolutely terrifying. Duskbreaker is back and spookier than ever
Mindflayer Kaahrj
Pretty high tempo. Could have some potential
New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker
Obviously this doesn't have taunt. Cards needs to be somehow balanced, ok? This is a strong card in the right deck, not just in every deck.

The only similarity is that both cards have deathrattle, that's where the similarities end. enjoy your contest entry.

I read Chronobreaker as a battlecry at first, that would have been insaaaaane.
It's considerably worse as a deathrattle

That depends on the kind of control deck. A deck like Control Warrior has very few good minions to copy.
I think this card is actually better against mid-range decks that rely more on minion pressure.
