I still remember when streamers were so upset with C'thun early in the expansion saying he was OP and Blizz shouldn't of given his cult minions "premium" stats - and then by the next set they were saying how weak he was.
Just because we can't be friends (yet), doesn't mean we can't be friendly. So post and maybe you'll hook someone.

With the name "Three Wishes", they probably give you 3 copies of Zephrys in your hand. Maybe at the start of the game, or perhaps one at a time on turn 2, 5 and 8 or something like that.
Is he worth putting nowadays in a Reno deck? I mean, I never seen this dude being played lately and I think that on turn 9 you probably already played your other demons.
What are your thoughts? I'm asking cause I got one and I'm excited by playing Renolock again..
Many of those idea are pretty good and will also probably be entertaining, but considering how Blizzard managed HS since now I'll be happy to just see one of them added properly (the Brawl Block seems the most "fresh" in term of gameplay) or at last a reworked Ladder system that could replace the actual boring grind.
...besides Cavern Shinyfinder could be viable but I don't want to imagine an hypothetical scenario when you need to use Reno and you're unable to do that because both weapons (and Shinyfinder, of course) remains at the bottom of your deck :(
That happened to me like 1 game out of 30. If I recall, there were one Mecha'thun deck that has duplicates in it and Reno as a healer, which hit Legend around 3 months ago. Also, some decks utilizing Elise aren't purely Highlander decks but that's another story. So, you have two options:
Either hard mulligan Cavern Shinyfinder as stated above, check the guide.
Because unlike most aggro decks, Priest was playing in a way that is pretty much impossible to answer for most decks. If they land Northshire turn 1, what can you do? Coin a Frostbolt or Pain? That's about it. IF you're a Mage or Priest. It's a Northshire and you're against Priest so playing your own 1 drop doesn't cut it, you can't wear down the Cleric's health over time because of healing AND they draw cards to boot. Turn after, Extra Arms. Now that minion you cannot trade into is a 3/5. Hope you have a Fireb...no wait, it's turn two, and your game is over. Now obviously a major part of that issue is the fact Blizz refuses to learn that 1/3 statline for 1 is not ok, let alone with additional abilities, but priests can be about as much trouble with any minion, say a Lightwarden. Even though Lightwarden is much easier to answer, the truth is that in most cases the cards that answer it aren't ones you want to play (Arcane Shot) because they're too narrow. So just allowing Priest to have a snowbally start in general is a recipe for disaster. Northshire should be on the chopping block, but if there isn't a good turn 2 follow up, they're manageable at least.
Fundamentally the priest class is broken: it's a steaming pile of trash with a handful of plainly OP cards/combos like Northshire and Divine Spirit/Inner Fire thrown in to make it somehow fair. It's a terrible way to balance the game because all the crappy cards sit around collecting dust while the OP cards that get printed every now and then to make the class viable accumulate in wild and ruin the experience for players there.
Instead of buffing and then nerfing Extra Arms they should've taken a hard look at the priest basic and classic sets.
N'zoth is a cool card to have, but we already had metas where he was basically out of radars (because the meta was too fast), so it's not really a forever safe craft, but definitely a powerful neutral card. The revamped Renodecks are probably his best environment atm (to be seen if staple in them tho).
You can always build some homebrews with it, and have some satisfaction. Just be aware that the meta may turn unfavourable to games that regularly need turn-10 for powerturns. And remember he's good for stalling, but not necessarily for sealing the game.
You can conceive it as a poor man's DK, who can afford only one for all classes.

Like Dalaran Heist, since there's a pre-order card back.

Ooze effects are still viable. Thus, two copies of Spectral Cutlass are here as a better precaution compared to one copy of it.
Let's see. This card was nerfed from 3-Mana to 4-Mana and you will draw your "only pirate" if Combo effect is active. Why bother with such hassle?

Why was Aggro Priest nerfed so fast compared to pretty much all other aggro decks?

Wow, a Zephrys brawl where every Zephrys you plays makes a perfect play against your rival Zephrys play and go on. Sounds pretty fun xD
