They need minions, particularly in the early game. I'd like to see a high health, low attack minion to control the board early and synergize with their hero power and Northshire Cleric. Zombie Chow and Deathlord used to fill this role. Priest was uniquely equipped to deal with their downsides, so they got more use out of those cards than anyone else. Their spells are generally not as versatile as other class's. Mind Blast only hits face, Pain/Death only remove minions. They need spells that can be used to control the board or finish out the game like Fireball, Frostbolt, Lightning Bolt, Eviscerate, Quick Shot, and Kill Command. The only damage spell that they have that is either removal or burst for a finish is Holy Fire at 6 mana. Holy Nova hits face, but not for a significant amount. I suppose they have Holy Smite (2 damage for 1 mana), but that's not a good removal or a good burst finisher. Flash Heal can be used for both, but that has to be comboed with either Auchenai or Embrace the Shadow.

Seems alright, not sure it'll see much play though.

I'm sure there were discussions about that at Blizzard when they were making this card.
"2/3 or not 2/3? That is the question."
I will never apologize for that joke.
Blizzard really wants Bolster Warrior to be a thing. Because Warrior needs more archetypes.

Warrior already has Sparring Partner, a much better card. They don't play it.

Pompous Thespian is literally a better Frostwolf Grunt, but it's still a subpar 2 drop. I don't think this is a good example of power creep.
sure, I don't have the quest to return back the 80g though. I can play right now.

This is awful and I demand that you apologize to everyone in this thread.
I just looked at the neutral basic cards and the only ones that are good are ooze, bluegil warrior and tazdingo. There are some playable ones like gnomish inventor, wolf rider, yeti, ogre and novice engineer. but everything else is just really horrible and waste of space in collection manager.
I really don't care about the power creep conversation anymore, or its strict definition. I'm just joking with the moniker obviously, like everyone else is.
They took a bad card, they printed a slightly better version and it's still boring. I understand why these cards exist, and in the future there will be a 2/3 then probably a 3/3 Taunt for 2.
Now, where's my 4 mana 8/8?

LOE shits on this so far.
3/2 taunt /ResidentSleeper
They know taunt at 2 mana rarely means anything, because people try to trade when they can, so Blizzard now gives the taunt attribute for free... just boring as fuck.

Thank you Firebat, for telling me that mage spells are bad, apparently.
Maybe the ONiK (I am coming around to that acronym slowly), actual encounters will be fun still. At least they seem to be not serious so far.

fuckin' called it, man
How bad is the power creep? Is everyone replacing their frostwolf grunt that they're running 2 ofs in every deck for it?

Meh.
This is the definition of boring. This is the type of card that gets put out in the card dump when an expansion is about to come out. Pretty disappointed with a lot of the cards so far

I think they're just joking. It's not power creep because frostwolf grunt may as well not even exist. There already even is a 3/2 taunt minion (warrior only though).

Technically it is a power creep though, for a neutral card. Class cards are more powerful, see Druid of the Saber 3/2 stealth vs the neutral 3/1 stealth.

bolster warrior is back boyz
Blizzard's amazing art and polish being wasted on rubbish mechanics has a long and storied history, sadly.
World of Warcraft is littered with empty zones that are really cool and have fun quests that no one will never see more than once, most will never see them at all. Sadly, it seems good art and hilarious sounds are wasted on bad cards in Hearthstone too.
Meanwhile until recently one of the most consistently played basic cards in the game (Innervate) had basically no animation at all.
Trump going in on Prince Malchezaar.

I don't know how competitive he will really be but that's a pretty dangerous prediction to make.

I am bringing all my junk accounts to rank 20 so I don't have to think about them again until next month, and on my second US account I was playing at rank 24 and this Shaman played Rag, and next turn he played Earth Shock on the Rag (letting the Rag attack), Windfury and Rockbiter.
And he BMed me! A windfury buffed attack Rag that can aim its attacks vs my Boulderfist Ogre, seems fair. Would have been impressive but the guy ruined it by BMing at rank 24, what a loser.

Just got the first wing for Blackrock Mountain and man, screw the Thaurissans in the ass. Seriously. First two bosses were easy to figure out on my own, but so far I can't manage to find a good/basic/cheap deck to finish him off, and I really need his card for my Tempo Mage. Any recs? :/
Any of these should work:

Nah, power creep is when you push the power curve. A 3/2 taunt doesn't do this, not even if you ignore the warrior one. It was the same deal with heckler. The card wasn't even played. I doubt this one will too.
Hmm, I've never seen emperor used in tempo mage before. Not really seeing why it would be either. So why do you want to run it there?
Idk, if only 30% of people reach rank 15, that's a lot of casual who don't care about ladder and just play for fun. Fools.

so many of these new cards are boring or useless.
i'm looking forward to priest getting a 1/5 6 mana taunt that heals all minions at the end of the turn.
