New Priest Minion - The Nameless One

Wow, interesting card. Silence on a stick with upside as it could transform into a better minion. The art is sick too. 

Looks good !

Nothing more to add :) 

Its really just value for silences, and if the meta doesn't demand for silence, then this card falls quite flat.

Underwhelming to say the least, but priest legendaries often makes me want to pull my hair out, so this one being weak is refreshingly welcomed.

4 mana silence with 4/4 body and (surely) a good effect attached.

Really solid card, especially with primes.

An interesting effect, but the fact that this silences means it will only really be useful on enemy minions. As silence is only useful in some matchups, the power of this card is probably limited, and decks like raza would prefer board clears over counterpressure effects.

I think priest can find uses for this... For example against libram paladin you don't only silence their libram deathrattle but also steal it.

Good for some taunts (hard or soft anyway) and give copies.

Lorewise I think is Madame Lazul replacement as Old Gods Agent

Nice! Silence with a body and potential for really good effects. Could go right into most Priest decks out there.

This card is just good. Will see play and probably powercreep out Mindflayer. Its just a really good silence on a stick, what more can you ask for?

Oh the source is silenced, I was like, what on earth is the point of this card if you copy something and then silence yourself...

I guess this The Nameless One is good. Kabal Songstealer saw play simply because it was a reasonably stated minion with a silence effect tacked on. The Nameless One should be strictly better, as it can pick up useful deathrattles, persistent effects, or valuable keywords, and it comes down a little earlier if you need to silence a buffed minion in an aggro match or some such thing. Probably good, also kind of boring.

Strong effect, check. Shuts down opponents? Check. Completely unfun to play against? Check. Alright it fits every criteria, so it's an amazing priest card.

But seriously, this shuts down both Khartut Defender, Convincing Infiltrator and pretty much all primes. It's amazing tech against priest mirrors as well. Opponent played Grave Rune on their Convincing Infiltrator? Well YOINK, my Convincing Infiltrator with buffs now. The Nameless One is just an upgraded Faceless Manipulator, and that already sees play in Wild. Also considering Hunter & Rogue are probably getting a lot of new deathrattle cards, The Nameless One is only getting better this expansion. Also this is really good to counter your opponents Mindflayer Kaahrj in a mirror match as well. (And i already shudder at the thought of Rogues pulling The Nameless Ones from Dragon's Hoard.)

Standard: Definitely must-include in nearly every priest deck. Helps buff priest by silencing your opponent in mirrors, and shuts down deathrattles. (RIP Rattlegore, now the priests have yet another way of copying it & shutting it down.)

Wild: Okay i think this will see a lot of play as well. This is definatly going into ress & Big priest, as some variations of those decks already use Faceless Manipulator against mirrors, and The Nameless One is just an upgraded Faceless Manipulator. Maybe Raza Priest might run it as well? They will probably experiment with The Nameless One at the very least.

There isn't a huge demand for silence in the meta right now, unless you're playing Demon Hunter and need to go through a taunt. OR you're playing against a libram paladin. 

That said, there's plenty of legendary minions with good effects or minions with deathrattles you might wanna shut up, and stealing their effect while nullifying theirs is pretty good.

I'm very certain this guy will see play somewhere, but I don't have the theorycrafting chops to see where 

This looks really strong. This is Spellbreaker, but with more stats and it also copies the abilities of whatever you are silencing. I can't imagine a world where this doesn't become a staple in just about every priest deck moving forward.

Too bad the stat change, if not it would be the cool counter to Rattlegore for control priest.

Pretty sure I've seen effects that are basically this on several custom cards, but I dig it.  Thief Priest is a deck I remake every expansion cycle and this will be an excellent addition.  Honestly reminds me a bit of [Hearthstone Card (Mindflayer Kaarhj) Not Found], both are well statted minions for the cost that you want to play when the opponent has a reasonably strong minion to 'steal' it.

Hmm you are getting a minion worth silencing at least so a deathrattle/ability that is useful... not good vs stat boosts though.. It can also work on friendly minions but then you are playing silence priest lol

This card is so good.  This isn't just a bad tech card like Owl or Spellbreaker, it has a lot more implications.  Not only is it silence tech but you're stealing whatever you silence in typical priest fashion.  

You can steal and remove high value deathrattles, you can just steal keywords like lifesteal, taunt, or rush or even strong on the board effects like Sethekk or questing adventurer.  

You can even use it on your own minions.  I'm not sure of a strong implication of  that but there are definitely niche scenarios where the flexibility will be strong.

Priest get another strong legendary.  

There isn't enough to be said about how good this is.  Since Spellbreaker got the HoF treatment, this is the same cost, slightly better stats, AND gets to become a copy of gnarly card that you silence?  This is really good.

Hilarious swings are going to happen with this, mark my words.

For some reason, I read it would only target minions and i was like "well, that's bad" and I re-read and thought "well, that's good".

This card is pretty good and it will be hated by many lol.

Priests and copying stealing your cards. Name a more iconic duo.

Seems like a solid legendary, just not particularly flashy.

I corrected it for you ^^

One of the best cards in the expansion so far!

Priest has so much good legendaries, won't be fun to play against!

I can see this being in a control preist as being a better Spellbreaker

Silence is annoying, and copying my stuff is annoying so I personally despise this card already I don't think it will show up TOO much but when it does it will be quite a pain to deal with 

Interesting, but confusing card. Which minion gets silenced?

Very good card. Better Spellbreaker essentially, and you can get more form Galakrond.

Just a solid card.  Sometimes you silence a Teron Gorefeind, sometimes it's just a blessing of kings.  Either way, it's a solid card you won't mind running in anything except res priest.

I don't know about this one. Seems like the become a copy of mechanic is almost an add on with the silence being the main draw to it. Since it does silence the target it would have to be mainly intended for enemy minions. What would be played that you would want a 4/4 copy of? Some aura effect or deathrattle would be the prime target.

I mean, there's hardly ever a time that this won't just be a better Spellbreaker - I can't imagine why you'd be copying a minion with a downside. Nothing flashy, but simply a good card.

Notice that it says silence IT not itself

Spellbreaker was HOF'd for this.

Really good against Libram Paladin or even other Priests.

A very powerful silence effect to be sure, but I think Priest would rather just remove the minion rather than silencing it. I imagine The Nameless One being dependent on the meta and how many valuable silence minions exist in competitive play. 

This has quite a lot of potential, yet another annoying tool in the Priest's arsenal

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is bad. It doesn't remove the minion, just Silences them and becomes a copy. You're getting greedy thinking about all the Rattlegores and Librams that you can steal when in reality this is just a Silence on an OK body. Control decks don't usually run Silence on an OK body.
