Who else gets bored when you play against an opponent that just copies your deck and plays your cards, but does nothing from their own class. Interacting with another players deck should be off limits. Sure MtG has some mechanics that does that, but they are limited to removing cards and making opponent draw/discard. None of this crap that puts someone to sleep when U realize what you are going against. You can try and contest that they are playing their own cards, but they are only playing cards that copy your cards. This is not a salt rant, im just dissapointed in the direction priest has gone. Its not fun to play against and this is my opinion. Its a silly gimmick and punishes the other player with a poor gameplay experience.

I think itâs the epitome of lazy design.
They donât have time to make cool cards for all classes, so they just make cards for priests that take everyone elseâs cool cards.
It sucks when it works and it sucks to play when it doesnât, so thatâs pretty much it sucks for someone every game.
Completly agree, as long as every other class loses a mechanic that I also dislike, to make things fair.
I think it is on the same idea level as rogue borrowing objection from mage. It is the only purpose of the rogue secret and the neutral secret discover card.
The one benefit is that many decks have elaborate synergies that donât work if the priest doesnât find enough of the cards. I once had a priest steal celestial alignment and guff. But his deck wasnât tuned to using them as well as mine and he burned through his cards too fast. Demon hunter relics are super walled to theft since you have stack the use and the counter is bound to the player using them.
This is actually not true at all btw, mtg has theft cards too such as bribery/acquire.

No. Copy cards are fun, just deal with it.

nah thats a terrible idea
we need more cards like envy instead so we can get rewarded for playing copies (hoping benedictus gets added to core too )
And even if their wording of what they meant was off, I could put together several different decks that just copy spells/permanents my opponents play if I felt like it. No theft involved, strictly using the copy mechanics.
I like copy cards as a way to counter decks with one card win conditions, as well as greedy decks. I donât like it when copying gets out of control, to the point where itâs just wholesale theft of your entire deck, but thatâs just an example of bad design leading to excess.
What some priests do⌠Iâd actually prefer it if priests had a card where they could just replace their deck with your deck and create a true mirror match. Then it comes down more to in game skill. When they can copy your cards AND keep their really broken cards too, thatâs too much.
Why?

But are you ok with rogues being able to copy your cards or cards from other classes?
See that makes sense from a class fantasy perspective. You would expect rogue to be able to do something like that
Priests should be more like white decks in MTG. Minions, buffs, silences, mind control, healing, and some direct damage spells
Not whatever this Eric Cartman I have the power to have all the powers I want nonsense is. I played games against priest that went over 30 minutes and they played 60 or so cards by the end of it. Thatâs asinine

no thats fun having fun never will be asinine
Priest should be about âprophesiesâ, cards with delayed effects, like Pokemonâs âFuture Sightâ move. Mind reading and stuff is psychic stuff, not what I associate with priests. Stuff like Demon Hunterâs Sigils. At least theyâre now introducing the Overheal mechanic so they can start getting SOMETHING of their own that wonât tilt people off the face of the earth.
Though priests in World of Warcraft and priests in real life arenât the same and mind reading stuff is a big part of the shadow priest nature. Shadow is also kinda the opposite of Holy, which is indeed about manipulation, which fits into this category as well.
People will always tilt over Priest, this will never change.
Being toxic is fun for some people right? When nobody notices you in real life you can always be a nuisance on the internet
there is nothing toxic about copying cards and to steal them well isnt easy because envy isnt likely to survive a turn and since it needs to survive and cost 3 mana what you can steal with it is very limited ( you cant use it to steal board clears if envy wont survive it )
Priest is the worst class in the game, people that play it should just stop for the sake of everyone elses sanity. Better yet remove the class from the game.
Youâre hating on the class (and people who play it) because itâs bad? At this point I donât think you priest haters even have actual reasons, youâre all just deciding to hate priest because you picked up on the fad and inventing justifications after the fact.
Priest have just a horrible class to play against it all they do copied cards, so why play their own when can play mine. I just would concede and move to the next game because going to be a boring match play against them is like watching paint dry.
