The intention, Im guessing, is for us to play a bunch of copied Astral Automaton, and then when they inevitably get wiped out we play this and get an entire board of big burly bots that threaten lethal.
The problem? Well, Im not much hopeful for priest to play the long game that isn't control, and Ra-den would be a dead card in your hand for the vast majority of the gametime. More likely he's more helpful just summoning two things after him, but I still dont see how priest can do things like that without giving up tempo and this card isn't giving you any advantage before he dies.
Also, why the fuck is this not a shaman card. Its Ra-den, theres lightning on his hands, why is he a priest card?
Ra was empowered by Amun'Thul, which is Priest's Titan. Shaman is probably getting a sea giant as their legendary, considering the big deal the lore dump gave to Golganneth loving the sea giants.

I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
I don't know if there are enough copy/thief cards in standard to make this work, but this might be a decent payoff for that.
A Thief priest card. I LOVE IT! Thief priest is such a fun archetype, just like burgle rogue! I'm happy Thief priest gets more support, and it already has the TITAN as a support tool, as you can ress any legendary you discovered with the TITAN. Also i guess it also fits in this "pogo" priest deck? Not sure about that deck though.
Also if i understand this correctly, this can also ress minion that you summoned with deathrattles? Which means some kinda ress priest in wild could run this?... Oh no.
The one problem i have with this minion, is the fact it's on a deathrattle. Because of the deathrattle it's super slow, but priest should easely be able to afford playing a 6 mana do nothing so maybe it's not that big of a problem.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
