Sooooo why did Blizzard remove Drakonid Operative from Core then add more Dragon Priest Support? I guess I'll let it fly seeing as they added Ship's Chirurgeon to replace him. Guess the new dragon works well with Scale Replica
Edit Also question: Would the effect from Raza the Resealed be retained if you play Reno, Lone Ranger afterwards?
Another Edit: I honestly don't think Timewinder Zarimi will be that terrifying. If you're playing dragon priest, it's mostly a midrange deck and if you want to do a TTK combo, you'd be sacrificing a lot of consistency on the 5 dragon requirement.
Effects like this have carried over in the past, like with the old Raza the Chained. Stands to reason it will again.
Oh yes, priest getting some seemingly toxic cards, let's see what we can make out;
Raza the Resealed - This card is absolutely trash...if it weren't for the fact that reno's arcane bullets exists. Fact of the matter is, being able to refresh hp is just not very useful unless you can cheapen it. And having no real method of doing so other than Papercraft Angel means that for the most part it'll never realistically matter.
Unfortunately, all that changes once you reno up. The moment the random hp turns to arcane bullets you practically just win the game. Because with papercraft angel you can legit just play your entire deck, with only the unreliable rope timer being the main issue. If I have to be honest, it'll prob end up with reno getting nerfed because no one wants to lose to an rng fest that leaves you helpless as your opponent plays their entire deck.
Timewinder Zarimi - So we're giving bronze dragons to priest as well now? Is there a reason why this isnt at least an infinite dragonflight? Oh well. Is this broken? Well yes. Gaining one extra turn with no questions asked is absolutely insane, with a paltry condition. So what's on the cards? 0 mana giants for lethal? No, it'll be in a reno deck that'll likely just kill you as you watch your life slowly drain away for two consecutive turns while your opponent emotes with every card played.
Fly Off the Shelves - Ive no idea why team5 decided that this should be a one sided board clear. So we can play midrange dragon priest? Well, at least it is a board clear, because priest really needs a few more post rotation.
Scale Replica - Decent card draw option. Only comment I have is to point out that this is the level where we're at right now. Drawing two cards for two mana is apparently the standard these days. Used to be incredibly OP just over two years ago.
Careless Crafter - Love the card because of overheal support. Unfortunately it'll only predominately do two things in competitive. Draw you cards via Crimson Clergy or fuel for more hp to your face.
Purifying Power - One of the weirdest cards to be released for priest. Its so difficult to imagine this seeing play and yet the effect is so unique it makes me wonder if team5 specifically design this card to be not only playable but influential, whether its now or the coming expansions.
Its my own opinion that reno raza priest is going to be a hot thing once expansion starts, but I simply dont think it'll be as good as it seems. Maybe the odd game everything clicks and its the best deck in the world, but more likely priest simply dies way before they can pull out anything useful. There is a reason why reno decks right now isnt any good as I write this.
I'm wondering if there is something to consider with Raza the Resealed, the base Priest Hero Power, and Overheal-ing Heartbreaker Hedanis. You don't need to ping them down with the Reno shots, meaning you won't need to be a Reno deck at all.
The main bit about reno is arcane shots, which practically enables them to play way more cards than they perhaps should be able to. Doesnt even need to be a reno deck, because Ive seen priest draw their entire deck fairly convincingly. It worked with warrior, it would in my opinion work with priest as well.
With hedanis, you'd need quite a lot of stuff to happen for the combo to work consistently, whereas for reno its really just playing one card. Even if youre not on arcane shots, getting a few hp out is still good value for a control deck.
The current overheal priest is good enough in my opinion, doesnt need raza or Papercraft Angel for it to work properly.
Silencing minis doesn't set their attack and health, does it ?
Otherwise, Purifying Power seems like dropped on the wrong expansion. I mean, there is not even a single supported card even on neutral cards.
Of course there would be some core cards and cards from other expansions but well, one is expecting at least one neutral for it.
Since the minis are tokens generated by their originals, silencing them should not change their stats from 1/1.
*sees the new dragon reveals*
Ooh, dragon priest, I like dragon priest! I like when priest cares about the board and tries to contest--
*sees the new Raza*
OH COME ON!
I cannot believe it... after all these years, it's finally here.
Unicorn Priest
Also i love dracthyr are slowly making their way into hearthstone, favorite race from WoW.
I can't believe they've fucking done this, dude. Raza that is basically a better Shadowreaper Anduin and cards that make your hero power cost 0, all without any requirements at all!
To be fair, just about every class is getting some highly annoying synergies powered by old "favorites."
The overall power level of the Year of the Pegasus is just going to be a lot higher than what we're used to.
Does anyone else feel like these callback cards (i.e., Raza, Tarim, Zilliax, Aviana, etc.) are more of a cop out than nostalgic?
I think it's totally appropriate to do some callbacks for the 10th anniversary.
Unfortunately, a lot of the most memorable cards in Hearthstone are memorable because they fell somewhere between "annoying" and "toxic."
nah, I love em
For Wild, I imagine using some of these cards in a deck similar to Dane's recent Nazmani Thief Priest deck. Instead of the Thief cards, slot in new Raza, Papercraft Angel, Embrace the Shadows, some cheap healing spells that you can aim at the opponent's face. When you get to pop off you end up doing a crazy amount of damage in a turn if you have a decent set up and the APM to pull it off.
Theoretically you could do something similar to the old Raza combo but sooner with good plays, good draw, and good hits on the discounts.
and no highlander requirement, which is definitely the most important part
Welp, Wild is gonna be a pain and a half with the new Raza. [Hearthstone Card (Xyrela, the Devout) Not Found] is probably gonna be the biggest pain with the new card, since it doesn't lock you into Shadow spells like Darkbishop Benedictus while also dealing one more damage for the same amount of hero power uses.
Yay another rest of the game ! and that's not even new !
Let's abuse 0-cost Reno hero power ! You don't even need to go highlander for that !
Yikes...
Well, now we know why Darkbishop Benedictus is leaving Core.
