I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

The continuation to "Uh wtf?"
is
"Why are these cards so over-costed? Is the rest of this miniset going to be designed to be this ultra-safe?"

yeah I bring up wild because there are lots of ways to cheat minions out early, summon minions out of deck, kill your own minions, and do it all in a way that's very uninteractive lol

as the comments point out, even in standard, proving grounds, front lines, and from de other side all synergize with these in some jank-rear end sense. definitely gonna try it lmao

My prediction is it is going to be terrible in standard and maybe will show up in one or two decent decks in wild. In wild I don't know if it is better than other already existing OTKs like Mechathun or some druid BS, which is why I'm skeptical.

Unbearably slow if they're not cheated out but Proving Grounds or Front lines could work I guess. Biggest issue will be drawing Rivendare early and it not getting silenced. Even then I don't think it's a particularly good win condition

yeah I mean I can't see it making any sort of impact in standard as things stand now.. Shaman devolve effects are on obvious counter too. At the same time the thing is even if the card is bad now, all it takes is for them to give a non minion DH deck a biiiit more support and then suddenly they have a way to get this done quickly and consistently.. it's always the poo poo that comes along after you have to worry about (aka the Maestra paradigm)

Well, Wild is already broken once the mini-set comes out, pending nerfs to this new Mind Sear card (deal 3 to enemy minion instead of hero or deal 2 damage to enemy only) or Radiant Elemental eating a "don't reduce below (1)" nerf. I guess buffing Test Subject to 3 health would also work.

Radiant Elemental, Test Subject, Embalming Ritual and Mind Sear on Test Subject, repeat until enemy hero is dead.

Switcheroo to tutor minions apparently is banned, thanks for pointing that out. Replace with Insight. Thrive in the shadows and Shadow Visions to get the spells quicker.
Fill with draw and control spells.

Absolut best case? Turn 2 lethal.
But I doubt you can pull it off before the rope runs out.

If you have any heroic bosses that still need defeating, get cracking on the 14th before they nerf the combo.

Something like this (+2x Mind Sear of course)?

if they hadnt nerfed Priestess Valishj it would've technically been possible to OTK on turn 1 wouldn't it?

Been on a break from the game for a few months but Control Priest (or just "Priest") is kind of nonexistent right now, correct? This seems like one of those cards that will be great if the deck becomes relevant but isn't enough to turn it on on its own.

You aren't wrong, but is it worth it to let this card target enemies from a gamefeel perspective? It gives aggro priest more reach, but is "if you didn't want their aggro deck to have 3-6 more burn damage, you shouldn't have let them have so many two-health minions on board" just kicking people while they're down?

Idk feels like a worse drown. Maybe when desperate prayer rotates but right now priests aren’t exactly hurting for healing

The main upside I've heard is that it's a big chunk of healing on a Shadow spell, so it could be interesting if you wanted to make a more control-oriented Shadow Priest deck.
