Card Review & Interactions

  1. You will maintain Raza the Chained's effect even if you change your Hero Power, e.g., Shadowform, Justicar Trueheart or Shadowreaper Anduin. [Source]

    This with Beardo and Shadow Form is pretty cool

    1. Big Ol' Bear

      Can you imagine this fun little setup? :
      Raza + Beardo + Nexus Champ Sarad

      Might need thaurissan or a lucky setup, but looks pretty fun

      1. CarnivoreApple

        No thaurissan needed, just turn 8 and some cheap spells

  2. Dro0204

    majordomo dream

  3. Demons

    i like it :D combo justicar + raza

  4. Anonymous

    still 0 mana after shadowformed?

    1. Evident

      I'm checking on this, but I'm pretty sure it would stay 0.

  5. Jonnychill1331

    This turn 5 followed by Justicar turn 6... Nasty

  6. David Cruz Conesa

    Seems pretty good but I am not sure single cards decks Will Be good enough when Reno leves standard. Other cards that have good synergies like Justicar and the 5/4 inspire summon a legendary are out At 31dec, less that a month after the relese. The curve this in 5, Justicar in 6 and the legendaris summoner in 7 seems insane. 2016 has been a hard day for priests and they Will have they Revenge in december.

    1. Safari

      Rotation is about April, so we will have some months.

    2. Moohlord

      The standard rotation changes with the first new release in 2017, not on January 1st. So Reno will leave us around March or April.

  7. Benniko

    they're crazy priest is getting too many broken cards

    1. TimeToDuel

      I think it'll be mostly a fun card, but I doubt it will actually be "OP" for consistency. Priest relies heavily on comboing cards (auchenai, potion+cabal/SWP/Shadow Madness etc.), having 1 card of each almost never works for priest.

      1. CarnivoreApple

        You will be proven wrong.

        1. Chef

          No, he's 100% Right.

          Everyone who says this Card is Broken has Never try to Play Reno Priest, its absolutely bad and inconsistent.

          After 2K Priest Matches i can say, priest without combos is Garbage. Priest is not Mage.

          This Legenary/Effect is OK on turn 5 (5/5 + 2 heal), Great in The Following Turns 6-10, and just obsolet Turn 10+, priest Never Ever hat a Problem to manage The 2 mana for heropower After Turn 10. Most of The turns you in lategame you wont Play more than 1 Card, entomb pe whatever, Cause priest lack of Carddraw especially in Reno priest.

          I dont beliebe The Hype

  8. Balloon216

    Turn 7 confess!

  9. Anonymous

    So since it's a battlecry and the wording says "this game" that means its from the rest of the game on. Effect doesn't go away when he's removed, right?

    1. Evident

      Correct.

      1. NightLucidity

        Even when we change hero power it will cost 0 right? Thats the way I see it...

        1. Evident

          I believe so, I'll update when I get a response.

  10. David Cruz Conesa

    Can we have any Hope about Reno beeing traded to classic? I feel really bad about All those single copy decks because of that. Who is gonna Craft a card for just 4 moths? They also reveled fantastic cards for warloks that Will Be unplayable without Reno or anything similar. To many cards from this expansion are died without Reno.

    1. Clay

      They better move Reno because this expansion will suck without him I hope they don't think Kazakus is good enough to replace him

      1. Evident

        Reno will still be in Standard until early next year.

    2. ZachAttackL

      What do you mean? this card wont be rotated out for another year and a half...

      1. Void

        League of explorers came out in early 2015 so when the first new release comes out in 2017 all cards the came out in 2015 will be cycled out of standard

  11. Zkool47

    If you change your hero power after playing this guy (Finley, Justicar, Shadowform etc) will it still cost zero?

    1. Evident

      I'm going to check on this, but I believe it will still cost 0.

      1. Evident

        It's confirmed, your Hero Power will remain 0 mana regardless of if you change it or not: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/5dmt79/amaz_new_card_revealed/

        1. Zkool47

          That makes Raza quite powerful. On turn 6 you can restore 6 health to your hero with your normal hero power and Justicar's upgraded version. Even though this is a very powerful card I don't think it will be worth sacrificing multiple copies of cards. I think Reno priest will be fun while Dragon and Control will be more competitive.

  12. Ispep

    This is definitely one of the most unique cards, and I think will be an autoinclude in all priest decks just due to the fact it can mean you dont have to choose between heal and playing on curve

    1. darknes386

      It's just a vanilla 5-5 if you don't have a reno style deck though

      1. King Chonk

        Why would you play this in a normal deck

        1. 8BitBrain

          Play it on the off chance you draw the doubles in your deck I guess

  13. Falkenar

    A priest can have this, kazacus and reno, is time to find the remaining 27 cards :D

    1. Safari

      Justicar and 26 more.

      1. shaoxia57

        Dragonfire potion and 25 more

      2. Zack

        Reno Dragon priest

      3. Anonymous

        Forget Justicar....double Shadowform it, gimme a free Darkbomb every round and a tournament medic and i'm good.

      4. Excogitator

        True Casino Mage: 28 legendary cards, prince Malkazar and Codara drake. Pray for Raza to be added by Malkazar and draw Codara on turn 6 to win.

        1. Hunter

          You can only get neutral or your class legendaries from malkazar.

    2. Big Ol' Bear

      Sarad, Beardo, and Paletress all seem like good cards for this kind of deck.
      Plus the crazy new spells for priest

  14. darknes386

    This + Coldarra Drake+ShadowForm = GG

    With the discover mage cards (since no one is playing the drake really, you won't thought steal)... lol someone will post a video of it though

    1. alexzon

      It's the first thing that came to my mind. This kind of thing can't exist in the game - too broken.

      1. CarnivoreApple

        Coldarra is tgt, will be removed soon enough (even though it is rare to achieve already, no duplicates)

  15. Safari

    What exactly is this? I mean, I can't distinguish her face, is it a man, woman or elemental?

    1. Zkool47

      It's an Etheral. The same race as Rafaam and Etheral Conjurer and Peddler. However this one is made of chains instead of cloth, hence the name.

    2. Void

      It's an ethereal wrapped in chains instead of cloth

    3. Raza

      Raza transcends your foolish concept of gender, puny mortal!

  16. Max

    Okey so this would be one of the most powerfull cards if it was neutral, yes. But how often do you need every 10:th, 9:th etc of mana. Priest is a class that often have nothing to play

  17. majesticPhaZon

    You pull a Coldarra Drake from Shifting Shade after playing this card....
    RENO EVERY TURN KAPPA

  18. Wywern

    Well now I feel like an idiot for disenchanting garrison commander...

  19. Anonymous

    I wouldn't bother with Justicar in a Reno Deck.....if you can get double Shadowform thats a free Darkbomb every turn and with a Garrison Commander thats a 2 mana Fireball...or just a free fireball next round if you can manage to get him to stick.

  20. hamoodi9721

    So every hero got a good legendary till now but rogue is worst than a common card plz

    1. OinarLeBonker

      Completely agree, Rogues are getting pooped on

  21. Suga

    Can we combine it with finley?

    1. Evident

      Yes.

  22. sober667

    If u can get somehow Coldara drakefrom discover with it and any dmg effeckt on hero power its insta GG :P on turn 6 with shadowform/finlley/ auchenai on table still with garnison comander is alot of dmg and with berado and bunch of cheap spels still can seee it OTK enemy ( probably with velen too)
    i like that contept perfecktly desined card

  23. Jackertomb

    Kodorider effect on 6 is pretty solid too

  24. Binx

    Ya it's strong but any highlander deck is going to struggle with consistency especially priest who has barely any draw options. Doesn't stop me from playing it, Reno shadow dragon priest are all some of my most favorite decks blizz really coming through on the fun scale

  25. Vincent

    Will RenoPriest work? I doubt it. Why not create a strong legendary card that I can put in any priest deck.

    1. Leeroy Jenkins

      I´m already playing it for a few months and its pretty good, almost as good as reno mage.

  26. pouyam

    why no duplicates... ah, I hate from reno decks...

  27. tridman

    imagine this with justicar upgrade, and then playing auction master beardo with corrupted healing, with all the flash heals and everything, could probably otk with just a few spells and 4 dmg hero power, or use forbidden shaping on turn 8, cast corrupted healing first to get 6 mana and then gg

  28. NightLucidity

    For all those of you wondering, a blizzard employee replied to the question of wether this works with justicar and whatnot, and it does. So thats a good thing to know, definitely increases my hopes for this card!

  29. Oliver Howard

    Have you noticed the subtle difference in wording compared to Reno. No double Shadowform in these decks - I reckon these new highlander cards will only work in 'true' single card decks and not in 'I've used all my dupes, so now it activates' decks.

  30. Anonymous

    Imagine this as a mage card... Coldarra drake + Raza + a justicar? op???? xD

    1. Fake Name

      You don't even need Justicar. Coldarra + Raza = insta win from ping
