    Pretty cool! I dont think its that hard to fill the condition.

  2. Njuns

    Finally the support for shadow priest we've been waiting for <3

  3. EksSkellybur

    This is a Really powerful Card, being able to deal 2 damage for free on turn 2, is such a strong card. It's not as Powerful as Shadowreaper Anduin, but it is Pretty much close to one. I think you can use more Shadowform, and you could get up to even 4 damage for 2 cards. Consider getting Darkbishop. I think this is going to be a seriously annoying card. 5 Stars.

      Unfortunately as I understand it shadowform no longer stacks on extra castings but this does at least make hitting shadowform consistent if that is plan for the deck

        Hearthstone whhhyyyy...? PepeHands

        damage will not increase, but shadowform spell should allow you to reuse your hero power same round. Could be usefull if you want to finish off opponent.

    "Darkbishop" lol
    Yeah this could be fun, hopefully we will get more shadow spells to support it.

  5. Kethcup

    Super awesome, but unless Priest gets some kicking shadow spells this xpac, won't overshadow random priest.
    5/5

  6. Asperkraken

    This card will be nasty in Wild. I can already see the Reno Priest theorycrafts now. Mwa ha ha!

  7. Junehearth

    wow

  8. LorreWolf

    Does anyone have an idea how this will work in wild with Baku?
    Can we hold our hopes up? :-D

    1. generalflagada

      If I have to guess
      You either:
      first gain shadow form then baku’s effect fizzle (Baku only upgrade base HP)
      Or
      First gain greater heal (upgraded hp)
      Then change to shadow form

      It dépend of how start of game effect trigger , by (low to high) mana cost OR its random
      I’m more intrigued by how new benedictus & c’thun the 3rd interact

  9. sanjuro

    just make mordresh dual class card.
    5/5.

  10. generalflagada

    I really like the card, but sadly I’m not seeing new benedictus in the meta with current shadow spell (new card not revealed yet)
    Problem is low cycle card (card draw being the corrupt card)
    3/5 star

    But 5/5 in my heart

    The card reads: If the spells in your deck are all shadow, but it seems like "start of the game" happens before mulligan so the Questline is not working with my deck, I lost that dust...
