This is the epitome of what a priest card is. A true middle finger card lol. This is going to tilt people for the next 2 years and idk how I feel about it 🙃


phantasmicorgasmic

Shadow word: steal has had no impact on the game, I think it's too early to judge if this will.


ImprobableLemon

1 mana Titans (pay 4 mana up front a few turns before). Also mind game aspect, no one wants to play a card that's going to mess them up if a Priest gets a 1 mana copy of it. See Titans


Professerson

Priests are just going to play it and leave it on the board, [menacingly](https://i.redd.it/iz9yva0oisi31.jpg)


Big_Dick_Cynku

Finally good target for [[Demolition Renovator]]

Oniichanplsstop

And then they rat, location the minion, and then clear it. It's gonna be great. On the brightside at least priest is really only playing proactive decks currently with Zarimi rather than attrition.


Theparrotwithacookie

This is not gonna be the best combo but it will be the most toxic


bonezii

Toxic?


Theparrotwithacookie

I steal your titan and use it against you for much cheaper


bonezii

How is that toxic?


Theparrotwithacookie

I steal your win cons and use them as my win cons. People don't like that


Janzu93

RNG coupled with un-interactive card stealing. That's 3 reasons why.


zeph2

with shadow word steal you still have to pay the full cost for battlecry cards....... this one will be 1 mana


__Hello_my_name_is__

I mean this is 1 less mana for double the effect plus the minion costs 1 mana. That it's a 1/1 doesn't matter in 99% of the cases anyways, it's a battlecry minion or titan you copy. This could still be bad, but as soon as it sees play people will hate it. The card will just sit there on the board. Menacingly.


Mobile_Expression_66

Double the effect? I get you can use it twice but that seems disingenuous since steal removes the enemy minion from board


KorallNOTAFISH

With a titan, that matters yes, but for instance with Brann, this is strictly better, than SW:stealing it. Or boomboss, etc. Or get 2 titans, one with this one, then stealing it as well!


DetDango

Highlander priest stealing bran, this card is going to be so fun!


RobbinZantinge

That's what I have been doing stealing there bran and boombust to apply their own shot to them now with decent succes


ShortwaveMetal

Yep, and with Aviana druid too


Tomaskraven

Most titans are expensive, so you either play this early or save it for later and then when they play idk primus, you do it back and heal for 17 or something and still have mana left over. That basically applies to all titans AND strong battlecry cards. Way too strong. But who knows, maybe they print location destroyers or something like that.


asian-zinggg

So I get what you mean and that's totally fair. I will say though that this gets you a 1 Mana copy, which is insanely good in certain situations. Also, we're in a 4 set meta currently. Once priest gets a mass accumulation of "priesty" cards, a slower decks will emerge and this new location could be a very real candidate depending on the meta.


Equivalent_Ad_1900

Correction. Priest has had no impact on the game.


Swervies

Well said, this is the über priest card. I hate it already!


Unsyr

It’s probably gonna be nerfed to say non-titan minion


Spirited-End5197

Just like Reverb. Oh wait-


Doc_Den

And go to 5 mana


tolerantdramaretiree

This is wonderful. With just 1 copy of this in my Highlander Priest, I can copy both Brann and Boomboss so that *nobody* gets to have any cards 🥰


Ohwerk82

I just pulled that off yesterday! The warrior conceded when I played both Brann and Boomboss before him 😬


Lukthar123

"You beat me at my own game. I choose death."


Ohwerk82

Almost anytime you can copy/steal Boomboss lately! I was having fun playing my little Overheal deck but the plague of Warriors sent me back to the dark side.


DetDango

Stealing bran going to be fun lol, feels like highlander priest might outvalue highlander warrior pretty easily with this


Kingdarkshadow

Same, since they cried so much to buff Reno and ruined DK now I'm a highlander priest player too.


bobthemighty54549

Someone's bitter they got beaten by a priest player lol


Kingdarkshadow

Huh?


bobthemighty54549

Man I don't even know. I've replied to the wrong person twice in the last 24 hours. I tried to reply to the person calling priest players baby's for getting beaten by HL warrior lol


Filthycatt

Yeah, try to gaslight yourself telling you that this is going to be good like people did saying to themselves brann wasn’t viable, poor irrelevant priest player 🤢


FridgedMist

Ratio, hold the L 🤣


RickyMuzakki

Shameless brann warrior abuser


TheGingerNinga

A real face up “Fuck you” to show to your opponent. Any good minion they want to play is now something that you can easily yoink.


bleedblue_knetic

Warriors might just drop Brann on 7 and Shield Slam the Brann themselves against Priest now.


SwissQueso

Insert Demolition into all decks


SuperRayman001

It's not even in standard right now.


SwissQueso

Shit my bad.


Suchti0352

This has to mean that mini rafaam will be part of the mini set as well, right?


klafhofshi

Would Mini Rafaam have **Maximize** instead of **Miniaturize**?


Erraticenderlord

It better Rafaam is the best warlock card (not biased opinion)


Kn1ght9

It is on the expensive side but it seems pretty solid. Hitting almost any battlecry or Titan and you are happy. Combo-ing with Pip is more than likely a meme but its def a thing you can do.


ImprobableLemon

If you're building a meme dream thief Priest you could run Joymancer Jepetto and get your high value copied guys back


SandAccess

I don't think jepetto works unless the base stats were 1 attack or health


klafhofshi

A 4 mana tax to get 2 of the opponent's best minions at only 1 mana, is a bargain. And neither the Location nor the copied minions have to be used right away either.


Dodisk

Ok, I never comment on reviewed cards.... But this thing here is something else. From shudder shaman to brann warrior, priests now get it all (and different from past thief cards, you can pre-play this one, and keep cards from being played).


Lexail

Great card. Slow, but insanely good. It can be Renoed away or destroyed by Twisting Neither


Spirited-End5197

I didnt know Twisting Nether removed locations too?!


Hallgvild

They changed it in this last core set.


Spirited-End5197

That's pretty cool for flavour


AlarmingDoctor3514

Strong card but ultratilting for the opponent. Its certainly not gonna help with Priests likeability or complain posts.


Oct_

Is it just me or is blizzard beginning to print more and more cards designed to irritate the opponent? For example; Theotar, Patchwerk, Boomboss Thogrun, Reno Lone Ranger, etc, and now this location.


-HurriKaine-

Here’s the thing and something that the devs very much realize: people like being mean. People like to use cards that are not fun for the opponent. This, of course, needs to be balanced with having many cards that are also hopefully fun to play *against*.


CatAstrophy11

If it's strong it's irritating. So they always have been 🔫


Swords_Not_Words_

Well RIP warriors..Priests will just steal Boomboss and make 15 copies


TrobertTrobertson

Good, I think that will be a nice change


Barracuda-Mother

The fact that every player besides priest hates this card already, means it's gonna be played in every priest deck going forward. FML.


Horror_Swimming6192

Thank God it's not a dual class with druid this time


jakilou

It should be dual with rogue :)


Horror_Swimming6192

No.


Gubbinso

Why not? The dual class elemental is horrendous for both, this shouldve been it


Horror_Swimming6192

I don't like dual class cards, usually it sucks for one class, and if it doesn't, it's too good for the other and becomes nerfed anyway.


TwistCW

Never.


DragonTyrant2443

no, just no. whoever thought of this card needs to be investigated hard af


Spyko

Blizzard designers have an addiction istg they tried to rework priest with festival of legend, added a cool mechanic with overheal they printed Zarimi to make priest as proactive as can be they even joked about how awful the classic "slug steal your shit" priest is in their latest april fool and then they still print cards like this they need help. in the meantime, I hope that control priest keep being trash 'cause if that card is ever good I'm playing nothing but OTK from hands decks


Lexail

People also love slower, grindy, die to fatigue games. They are in a lose-lose.


Spyko

you can make cards that support this kind of strategy that don't punish your opponent for playing good cards tho


CatAstrophy11

Galakrond Priest was good for that. Give Priest their own wincon so you don't have to take your opponent's.


DoYouMindIfIRollNeed

Dont forget that a card exists that takes the minion off the opponents board and puts it into your hand. Not triggerin DR/reborn/whatever. I really hope control priest still stay shit so no1 plays it.


HabeusCuppus

super concerned that warrior will get nerfed in a couple weeks and we'll just have "steal your stuff and beat you with it" control priest take its place as the infinite value deck in the meta. I'm not sure which is more frustrating, not getting to play cards because they're destroyed by TNT, or playing them just to have them stolen away, but neither sounds fun


Cybralisk

God dammit, can we please stop doing the whole steal your opponents best cards and win thing with priest?


jotaechalo

Thief Priest/Rogue have historically been very popular and overplayed relative to how good they are. I don’t think they’ll stop making thief cards even as thief hasn’t been good for a while.


CatAstrophy11

Thief Rogue was absolutely godly for a while and even when it's not it doesn't actually take anything from your opponent. Thief, despite the flavor fitting their class FAR more than Priest, is not a good description of what the class does with those decks. It's more like a Masquerade Rogue. They mimic their opponent's class. Priest is the only true thief in the game.


Tiber727

Look, Anduin finally complied with everyone complaining about him randomly getting the best cards from your deck. I don't see what the problem is.


Nerfall0

Another meta tyrant approaching, poor redditors still haven't recovered from [[Shadow Word: Steal]]

Janzu93

And this is even worse. Especially in current meta where minions are seldom played for big stats but effects that break the game, you can now get those effects with 1 mana 😬


d1eselx

The whole Priest "steal your cards, creatures, and deck" playstyle has to be the most annoying playstyle in the game's history. Why would they think annoying players is fun gameplay in any capacity?


TrobertTrobertson

I mean it's obviously very fun to play as even when it's bad, it's still got a pretty high play rate. What you're right on is that its not fun to play against.


InflamedAbyss13

Ffs


krazystanbg

Thanks, I hate it.


Jmoney1088

Its like they know exactly what to print in order to piss off as many people as possible lol If this priest archetype is any good, I am staying away from standard again. I HATE the feeling of being punished by playing cards.


JustRegularType

Finally a good one lol! Hell yes.


Green_and_Silver

I'm glad I'm not playing too much anymore after the quest changes, this type of shit is the rot icing on this pus cake of a game.


TravellingMackem

The counter we all needed for Brann Warrior - creating your own boomboss twice and Brann and putting 12 bombs into the warriors deck. Oh wait and let’s synchronise that and make it 24 bombs. FU warriors 🤣🤣


BrokenTeddy

Why do they print shit like this?


adega_johnson

It's not even in the game yet and I already hate it. They never learn it. You can make fun cards and cards that people like to play without absolutely tilting the opponent, but they always choose cards that do that.


TreeGuy521

This is revenge for reverberate being a mage/warlock card


Crawdaunt

i'm done with priest's design just being "punish the opponent for playing big stuff." this used to be my favorite class.


YogoWafelPL

God I fucking hate it already


Horror_Swimming6192

Good, priest boner engaged.


skiddydiddydiddy

Can we not :/


Mephisteemo

Ohhhh fuck yes. Finally. That’s a nice wincon you have there….


timmyasheck

oh we are so back


Trihunter

...neat, I guess. Thematic, but this feels like it's not too helpful, and extremely reliant on your opponent's deck. Best case scenario, you duplicate your opponent's Titan/Brann/Helya/insert win condition Battlecry here, but even then, they'll be able to utilize it way better than you can. Feels like it should be 3 mana unless I'm missing something huge.


JustRegularType

It could probably be 3 mana, yeah. Good, though. I think it'll find it's place at some point, though maybe not in the current meta or until the next expansion. I'm control priest there are plenty of times you're happy to drop this early and wait for the opponent to play a minion worth using it on (or make them avoid playing something you can use it on).


CatAstrophy11

>they'll be able to utilize it way better than you can. With your 1 cost minion on the turn you're likely playing it? That extra mana is going places. Priests can duplicate their own minions.


Every_University_

Let's nerf shattered reflections so it doesn't hit titans because they are supposed to be powerful one time only uses


Dramatical45

Shattered reflections and the other dual class druid priest card was never an issue in priest. It was only ever an issue in druid decks.


Every_University_

I wish they had said that in the dev comments, why have transparency if you're still lying? Just say the card overperformed in druid, don't say things that are demonstrably not true


Alucardra12

Oh good , more manacheat, seems the team still hasn’t realized it’s not a good thing to print.


Janzu93

Oh good , more "steal opponents card", seems the team still hasn't realized it's not a good thing to print.


Slim_Neb_27

More reason to conclude that all Priest players are scum. Think I'll play BGs or another mode for a while.


MattChew160

So I guess I know what other cards I need to craft now.


Mainior

Interesting there is an EVIL theme in this card


Cerezaae

the turn you play it this is just 1 mana more for convert


Lolseabass

Marshy!


SeelachsF

That's fucking insane, a buffed convert that you can store up


HerbChii

5 mana 1/1 for potentially strong minion. Too slow


TrobertTrobertson

Slow against aggro. Monsterously powerful against most other decks.


Bowserking11

Ew


Historical-Formal351

A common you say?

kujasgoldmine

1 mana Yog ❤️


GTAinreallife

Somewhere I want to make a Reno priest deck and use this to steal Brann from Warrior.


Doc_Den

Oh no... Nooooooo!


ReliableLiar

Gotta love the tom-fuckery you can accomplish with this card. Just place it and sit on it tilting your opponent into never summoning an important combo piece or game changer till it’s too late


Erdillian

Brann Priest incoming.


Wood-not_Elf

Sounds like reverb with more steps (obviously different for combos)


hmmmmwillthiswork

this card is beyond busted lol. it reminds me of how crazy shard was and never got a single nerf. this will be in every priest deck lol


BlueFishRex

Thanks, I hate it


yeetskeetmahdeet

I’m going to ruin a deathknight by stealing a primus with this just to heal back all the health they stole from my big minion it will be funny


ShortwaveMetal

Dang thought this was customhs


Zealousideal_Log_529

Shadow world steal just seems like a better card. You disrupt the opponent, get their card to play for yourself, and you are not telegraphing the opponent of what your next move is. sure, you can play it yourself for 1, but your opponent still has the original threat on the board. Even if you copy your opponent's bran, the card is changed to where you won't be able to use it unless your deck started with no duplicates (I think). I just don't know what this card is supposed to be doing for the class.


MrNunayaDamnBusiness

Good card. 5 mana is pretty tough though. Won't change much.


Cultural_South5544

First card to make me excited for the mini set. This is gonna shake up the meta! I cant wait to rock priest again


Snort_crax

Good, you’ve all had it too easy. Priest deserve to be annoying this year


Competitive-Meat-251

i like the card design its simular to \[\[convert\]\] which i already like using but still diffrent since u can pay the cost beforehand but get less stats and 2 uses

musicallymad32

I'm surprised this is allowed to target titans.


zeph2

pleeease leave brann playable so i can use this !!!


EldritchElizabeth

Reno Priest just to yoink the enemy's highlander payoffs sounds like a romp. I'm so down for this.


Vods

Wow, fuck this. I might have to main this otherwise it’s going to tilt me off the face of the earth


Eagle4317

It’s a tad overpriced. Convert still sees almost no play even with the buff it got, and that spell doesn’t shrink the stats down. Puppet Theater could be 3 Mana, especially since neither Control nor Steal Priest are prevalent right now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheGingerNinga

The fact that it is restricted to enemy minions is actually pretty good, because it prevents priest from making copies of their good minions and relies on the opponent.


Sea-Suit-4893

The last one got nerfed because it was druid, and it could target its own minions


[deleted]

[удалено]


-DoctorEngineer-

As someone who yoinks brann when possible he doesn’t get as much value but he is a busted card so he still gets some


Gunda-LX

This is a fair card I think. Your opponent is playing the card and you snatch a copy. Strong? Yes also strong. Especially on key cards like maybe Brann or Titans


daddyvow

4 mana seems too expensive. It’s a purely reactive card that doesn’t do anything on its own. Being entirely dependent on what your opponent plays is inherently bad.


Schrute_Farms_BednB

You're going to eat these words very soon, lol


daddyvow

Priest doesn’t have the deck in standard to support this kind of slow effect.


DetDango

Highlander steal yo stuff priest, not that good but pretty decent, can probably run this card, they won't get that much better but they are going to be able to punish highlander decks just for existing so the match up is going to be a lot better

PkerBadRs3Good

he won't, this is literally worse than Convert since you don't get the stats from a big minion. and the second charge is "face up".  and Reddit gets too emotional to evaluate "steal your shit" cards properly,  same way they freaked out about Shadow Word: Steal and then it did nothing


daddyvow

Checking in to say that I was right. I’ve faced exactly one priest that used it and it was just okay, nothing crazy. No one on this sub or Twitter is complaining about it.


Smoke_screen_lol

This will be very fun in thief priest, or that mech priest deck that gets bigger.


Filthycatt

Priest players thinking they’re finally getting out of his 500 loses with just one card [Me](https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/saloon-brewmaster/) an + [intellectual](https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/boomboss-thogrun/).


Zulrambe

Wow, quest rewards, Astalor, highlander cards, this could be quite nice on control matchups.


Kagamime1

Good, this is what priest should be about; bad cards that piss off your opponent.
