Designed to fit in the 4-drop slot of the deathrattle archetype. The fact that it’s a taunt helps, though I don’t think this alone can make deathrattle priest viable. Nevertheless, 2/6 is a great statline against agressive decks, leads perfectly into a holy nova, and if played in pairs, making the other one 3-attack is fairly strong.
On the other hand, it just dies against higher health minions and SWP
I’m super excited for this card. N’Zoth Priest might be a viable ladder deck now. However, I am afraid that when I use this card, terrible things will happen against other Priests.
Potion of Madness.
let alone potion of madness, with this and the 2/7 taunt from warriors cabal shadowpriest might start seeing more play, and with that even pint size shenanigans
Priest mirrors – mix up both decks and have a great clown fiesta until someone dies accidently.
On a more serious sidenote, this card is not in this deck for other priests. If you run into a priest who has cabal well than this is just misfortune – like running into harrisson with doomhammer or hungry crab with finja. This card is still very consistant.
Dragon priest is going to die due to the cards leaving priest in general is also going die.
i think with all the new cards coming out it may still be valid an possibly rank 1 worthy!!! 😉
they mentioned in the preview that there would sort of be a dinosaur type for each class (like the long necks brontosaurus for druids). Out with the dragon priest in with the turtle priest?
I think this card is really good: it has fair stats, taunt, a good deathrattle, and synergizes with the priest Quest card. Nice.
AFTER 3 YEARS, FINALLY: Priest got a taunt …….in the 4 Mana Slot,,,,Priet still neeeeeed more 4 Mana Cards, plz gimme more more more
Bad card on its own, but great synergy with N’Zoth and the quest.
How is a 4 mana 2/6 Taunt Deathrattle bad.Infested tauren saw play being worse.
If Control Priest become viable this card will be insane,.
Because infested tauren is a split 4/5 thats leaves a body behind when it dies (sticky minion). Also it didn’t really see play in priest. Also there are probably better 4 slot minions for priest atm. priest of the feast, auchanai soulpriest and shifting shade. Priest doesn’t really need more 4 drops. it needs decend 1 and 2 drops. Also this deathratlle needs another body on the board to be of use, which can be pretty hard to do for priest without the dragon package.
shifting shade is rotating out so they lose a 4 mana
shifting shade is part of Whispers of the Old Gods, so it’s not rotating out just yet. Next year i think
