It’s about as good as Onyx Bishop was, which wasn’t good enough to do anything for Pries. It doesn’t really fit any of the current archetypes. Priest can’t survive without playing minions early, and those minions (Pyro/Cleric/whatever) won’t be great revivals.

So since we haven’t seen the whole set, we can only evaluate the card on its own merits.

Controllock needs healing and a solid game plan to actually win the game. Fatigue is not a win condition because Warlock life taps it’s deck away. The downside of this card is far greater than say Blastcrystal Potion, which was often played in mid-game when losing a mana crystal was less oppressive (and Reno lock needed to find 30 singletons to play).

Rafaam is bad, it’s still bad, and isn’t played in Control Warlock decks anyway.

Based *solely* on the cards that exist now, this card is junk.

The limitation is far more detrimental than the value gained when you get a 3/3 (in *exchange* for some existing minion). There isn’t one pro who thinks the card will see play. You are living in a fantasy world.

How is Mage a loser? Sure neither Tome of Intellect or Icicle are particularly strong cards. But neither is Plaguebringer. It gives Rogue another form of single target removal, but compares poorly with most of the other STR’s Rogue already has.

playhearthstone.com has all the standings, and you can see all the match/deck data as well.

Proof that anyone can make legend with the most garbage decks.

Oh the game has been dying since Beta according to clowns like you.

A couple of players took time off waiting for the expansion to hit, but the overwhelming majority of the hight ranked player base is untouched.

This card will never work because it will never see competitive play.

I’m neither convinced this taunt is any good, nor convinced that Plot Twist is any good.

One thing I am sure of is that putting bad cards into a deck because they have synergy with other bad cards is just bad.

Quitters never win. Winners never quit.

Khadgar is a Mage minion.

“But you are not that into the game to really know how much it costs to play those diverse and fun decks.”

I have every single card. Cost is irrelevant to me. I’m not poor.

“And you haven’t played priest that much to know how disapointing it is to finally make that super heavy deck.”

WTF does this card have to do with Priest?

Probably? You are not serious are you?

I have no idea why you are discussing rarity or Arena. NO IDEA.

One of the cards that comes to mind to compare this to is Gladiator’s Longbow. Both cards allow you to remove two 5-health minions without taking face damage. But it costs a total of 12 mana to cast both copies of the Twinspell, but only 7 for the bow. And the bow has never seen play.

To be fair, there is the possibility of the Wyvern surviving it’s Rush attack, and synergy with other cards (Zul’jin, Leeok, …). But it just seems too fair to get overly excited about. This card doesn’t give me “it could be broken” feel that many of the Warrior and Rogue cards that have been revealed does.

You have to run the bomb cards to make this a “better Boom”. Read the text.

Don’t forget the Boulderfist Ogre. Smash ’em!

I guess they liked the vibe of the play in the Esports Arena’s Specialist Showdown (won by Deathstar’s Hunter).

The most straightforward approach is make your primary deck the “normal one”, and tech your secondary and tertiary decks to be anti-aggro and anti-control.

This will give tournaments a different feel.
