A bit slow, but the mechs can become monsters with the new handbuffing cards and Dr. Boom, Mad Genius (they are literally a follow-up).

I had such a card in mind and just thought that blizz would never dare to print this. Same reason you can’t give stealth to other minions anymor

Yeah, hence the could. I'm not sure they'd want this either but then again I didn't expect them to be greedy enough to run both Catrina Muerte and Mass Resurrection either. And I still don't really understand it to be honest.

I saw the "could" part, I just wanted to tell you why I'm skeptical this could happen. ^^

Btw you are not the only one, who didn't expect both of the aforementioned cards to appear in the decklist so soon. I also thought, that in aggressive metas they would feel way too slow and not that rewarding enough, but I guess Big Priest doesn't mind it.

Quote From Kovachut

I thought about it for a split second, but doesn't priest already have enough resurrect spells there? I guess if you combine the ritual with Obsidian Statue, you could potentially gain 4 extra health and kill an additional minion, but I'm not really seeing this being used in big priest just because the minions will come to life with only 1 health and can easily be picked off on your opponent's turn. Casting Embalming Ritual on something without a deathrattle won't bring you much value (except in the cases, when you make a trade, the big minion revives and you heal it a bit). Imho big priest needs either a cheap AoE or a cheap recruit-like spell, in order to become more annoying.

Agree Boom just grew stronger. It´s realy over time to HoF all Heros ...

WTF this is literally just a reprint in a new class.  r/hearthstonecirclejerk is going to have a field day

Also, why is this in priest???  Fuck flavor, stop giving dead classes shitty cards already

Big Priest needs more way to cheat out its minions (now that probably Barnes will be nerfed), not other ress tools since it already has plenty.

I don't really see this card fitting atm.

Quote From Trimutius

I don't know if Divine Shield + Taunt is worth 2 Mana on top of Blessing of Kings, still susceptible to single target removals and board wipes anyway (unlike Spikeridged Steed that was actually sticky and not just divine shield)

Agreed, Spikeridged Steed was far better. I don't think this is worth running over Blessing of Kings, which already sees no play right now.

Funny with Zerek ;) 

*in cliché robot voice* "How long can this go on?"

Really nice looking card, will definitely see play.

Quote From JawsLoanCompany

 

Well, the whole Reborn mechanic was decidedly unoriginal.  That said, I'm sure this will help Priest but it's nothing earth-shattering.

Now, if there's a card out there that has synergy with Reborn other than the Paladin quest then perhaps this will be stronger.

I completely agree with everything you said.

Hey cool more strong cards for warrior.

Quote From iWatchUSleep

This could actually go into wild big priest to improve their resurrect pool.

I absolutely hate it already.

This seems really strong.

This one is scary

This is pretty exciting. Reborn minions can help you trigger heal synergies and make some use of your hero power. Since this is a spell, you get more control over when the reborn triggers. Cool, will try it out!

Reprint of Desperate Stand.

Reprint of Desperate Stand.

For me, possibly Untapped Potential.

Why?

I always liked the quest mechanics, and also I am excited about the idea that spending or not spending all mana in a turn makes a difference.

This could actually go into wild big priest to improve their resurrect pool.

I absolutely hate it already.

In hearthcards a person made a similar card and people told him, that Desperate Stand exists and it would be very unlikely to see a cheaper reprint of this card in another class. The moment, when I saw Embalming Ritual, I facepalmed.

As far as gameplay goes, I think this has potential in some wild Auchenai-Heal Priests (you will revive the minion, that "heals" the opponent's face and deal more damage to them), probably in some greedy N'zoth decks as well.

priest cards are so boring, this is no exception 

Reno the Relicologist

I think this card looks fun. I've liked Reno's character design and I think the card, while it probably won't see play, will be fun to use in a singleton mage deck.
