Mi'da, meet Twitter. Twitter, this is Mi'da! I went into this design wanting to make something that would be useful for a Deathrattle Priest deck ideally, because Xyrella's story this year was all about finding the shards to save her daughter. https://t.co/vRXzwswtfP

      It made sense that you would want to play this card in the same deck that you play Xyrella, the Devout. It's no secret that this has some similarities to Waxadred from DoD, but this is a more refined design in a class that actually wants it.

        Rogue was never really interested in having a perpetual resource, but Priest wants to go long. We tested some different keyword combinations (Lifesteal was even taken off the card for a while), but this is what we liked best. Hope you like it. :)

          Oh, and how did we come up with the name "Mi'da"? Naaru name generator. I just liked the way it sounded and nobody fought me on it sooo...

      @Songbird_HS Is the fragment a holy spell so we can attempt to tutor it out somehow?

        @jerakal Yes the Fragment is a Holy spell.

      @Songbird_HS Great card, thanks for the info. Legit question though: any reasoning behind the fact that Priest is getting its 2nd Legendary from a miniset while classes like PAladin, Hunter and DH still haven't gotten any?

        @SLysiotis Good question! We want to give every class a mini set legendary before we double up ideally, but it made sense for the Naaru to fit into Priest specifically. This was a special case, but we will definitely spread the love to all the classes.

      @Songbird_HS Is there a reason this card doesn't have Taunt? As it stands, having a legendary card that's less impactful than Lightshower Elemental on board is really underwhelming. I appreciate the work put behind this card, but it just feels extremely slow and inefficient.

        @TonberryBleu Yeah that's a good question. Honestly it's been over a year since I made this design so I can't say there's a specific reason. I will say though that it's less impactful than Lightshower in the immediate, but the long game with Mi'da does feel really impactful.
