I am more pissed that it is a 2 attack minion. Blizzard loves giving Priests shit to steal from me.

I hope cabal is nerfed. I just can't see myself running a 4-6 cost minion that can be stolen by cabal, even though I want to. It's back breaking enough to see your 2-3 drop get stolen by cabal, let alone something of comparative or higher value than cabal itself.
It's already a 6 mana card that can only steal a 2 or less attack minion, how much of a nerf could you possible want? want to make it 7 mana? want to only steal 1 attack minions? come on.
Isn't even worth playing than? In my experience, most things worth copying are removed instantly if I play them as Priest. Only exception could be Ysera.
using that priest card with expensive cards just seem way too ambitious...
A more practical use of it is to put tons of stats on board if there is a new card that does what wailing soul does.
You could play it in dragon priest for example, or in a new control priest where silencing your corrupted healbot could make sense and similar.

I think you'd have to copy at least 2 minions to make it worth playing over faceless. Sylvanas, ysera, ragnaros, or other deathrattles + end of turn effects.
They could do a lot of different things with the card other than a straight stat nerf. They could make it work just like shadow madness, for example. They could make it destroy the minion rather than gain control.
You understand cabal stops a significant portion of existing and potential cards being playable right? Even this new tauren card is dubious at best, it might be good enough to be played. First thing I thought of is cabal stealing it and having massive value.
It's going to be a weird turn of events to get a malganis and then get another one as a 1/1 as a priest
Funny priests are the big thieves while rogues just have burgle.
Shit, I confused Malganis with Malygos, my bad

And why would you use this new card over faceless? You'd rather get a second malygos/ysera rather than a 5/5 does nothing and a 1/1 copy.

Yeah, even just getting one to stick is pretty much an achievement.
Volazj just seems way too unreliable.
Yeah it's really rare for a big minion like that to survive a turn or two (or in that case 3) without your opponent being able to get rid of them unless you're ridiculously far ahead

The most likely targets for it would be stuff like Sylvanas and Cairne.
Basically minions with powerful effects that people are reluctant to remove/trade in to.

That priest legendary, wonder if it copies the minion as a 1/1 as it is or as it was originally. I asked because in a situation where say you have a sylvanas, but it got silenced, and on your turn you play the legendary, does it give you a sylvanas with a deathrattle or just one that is silenced as a 1/1?
The thing about Herald is that in order to actually get the benefit from Herald you need to be running a minion-based deck with many low cost minions like Zoo. Herald would actually be a really good card in pre-nerf Undertaker Deathrattle Priest, but not only is that gone but most of the good deathrattle cards are also gone in Standard. In order for Herald to be playable in a Priest deck, Priest needs cards that enable it to play like Zoo but it's not there. Aiming to play this card AFTER playing down a minion like Sylvanas, Ragnaros or Ysera is wishful thinking.

Priest legendary seems good, but would require you to play cards Priest doesn't really use aside from maybe Ysera.
Budget Belcher sucks.

Yeah, the card reminds me of Kel'thuzad in that it'll be great when you're already winning by a bunch and don't actually need it.

Yes. Hate Cabal Priest so much. I hate 50% of Priest cards. Class is consistently not interactive. Worse than Freeze Mage.
Inspire cards?

another card:
nerfed sludge belcher.
I'm starting to get worried about getting a good defensive replacement to sludge and healbot. Surely blizzard wants to keep the game slow for C'thun to work, but it's going to be an extremely aggro/combo finisher heavy meta if this is the type of defense we're getting.

A lot of good offensive sticky minions are leaving, too. Clears will be more effective without Haunted Creeper, Piloted Shredder, Deathlord, Nerubian Egg, etc.
I think I would swap to Malygos decks just out of spite.

That's if you manage to keep their board SUPER CLEAN AND EMPTY.

The more I think about cool decks like Patron leaving Standard, the less interested I am in Standard.
That's why you pull Malygos out through Ancestor's call, so you still have 6 mana to burn with. Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Crackle, Crackle, is 32 damage minimum.
Crackle won't help you in Standard.

No point in talking about what you can do in Standard until we know what the cards are.
Card selection for Standard is confirmed though....? Everything but Naxx and GvG for the rest of the year. So no Crackle.
I'm digging the Old Gods trailer, good opportunity to spam WutFace too. TGT's was kind of annoying
Patron left a long time ago

Corrupted Crackle, etc. We don't know what the options are.
I am doing pretty well with it.

May contain jokes =>
Patron is still good and has been for a while. It's just not absolutely broken.
so clone your rag, sylvanas etc
Its sort of cool, but I can't see it being played. You would need to already be in a commanding position to be able to play it.
Also, even if he has crappy stats, I'm not happy that they are printing another card like Sludge Belcher.
