New Priest Cards Revealed
The official Hearthstone Twitter account has revealed the following new cards:

Clear Conscience is busted
Theft Accusation is sitting right next to a Warlock card (Arson Accusation) that has one of the lightest play restrictions in Hearthstone while doing the same thing. Team 5 doesn't care if the card is good. They put in some blinkered verion of symmetry and took off early from work.
Thief Priest will be trash (in Standard). Incriminating Psychic is interesting for Quest Priest, however, as it generates another card that can meet a quest requirement and puts a 6-Health stall on the board. I doubt it's worth it, though, as it doesn't actually solve many problems.
Clear Conscience means that Pelagos sticks on 6 nearly all of the time, save for against Druid and Control Priest. That's worth my time, though what card Wig Priest loses for it isn't immediately clear. This can also ensure that a tiny minion (Priestess Valishj) can be grown into a threat without enemy reprisal. Finally, it grants a buff that helps one stay in the game when you don't draw Wig and have to stall. The effect is actually broken, but in modern Hearthstone, merely broken isn't enough to draw concern. It's still less unfair than any top-tier card.
Clear Conscience is probably too expensive for a buff, and since naga priest dont need it I dont see where this goes. Certainly no control deck would play it.
Incriminating Psychic is good. 4 mana for a nice 2/6 taunt that also gives value that can be a game ender? That'll do me. But will thief priest be good itself? Now that's another question, because thief priest seems to only get better the less thief cards it actually haves in deck.
Theft Accusation is trash. A card that needs another card to be played before it does anything is one thing. That thing being rng generated from another card though? Just run Shadow Word: Death then. The Light! It Burns! does the same without any more backchat. Why the hell would this be played over that?
Priest cards always seem annoying; whether they are any good or not is a different story.
Clear Conscience seems like a gimmick. We've done this before with the Unicorn and it wasn't worth the trouble. Spell based removal is also not really all that common these days.
Psychic just seems overbalanced. Could have been a 3-mana 2/4.
Theft accusation sounds fun, but also impractical. Why play it when The LIght, it Burns does effectively the same job.
I am loving the Accusation spells so far. Each of them seems to be a class-flavoured Assassination. That said more support to thief priest is wonderful.
