These cards need to be nerfed in cost or simply moved to the hall of fame already these are cancerous unstoppable cards that have no place in standard anymore…if removing a Paladin draw card is so important why leave these cards that people duplicate and use for one shot setups with no way to be countered…this needs to be moved or have its cost increased to prevent all this crap

Because the thing that empowers these cards (Shadow Visions) is rotating, so you won’t see multiple duplicates of them any more.
(Also, nothing short of upping Divine Spirit to 6 Mana would stop the combo… are you seriously suggesting a +4 Mana cost nerf?)

Without shadow visions the divine spirit / inner fire combo isn’t anywhere near as reliable

Let’s see how common they are without Shadow Visions… my guess is they’ll go back to what they were before SV was a thing… memeish

Inner Fire is fine. Divine Spirit though should probably be in HoF because Doubling is too good to be in the forever set. This includes Blessed Champion that Paladin card that doesn’t see play and Velen. Doubling anything is not something that should be available as a forever option because it doesn’t take much to break it leading to situations where it blocks design space of cards that would be fine in Wild but can’t exist because of the Forever set.

Where’s my downvote button? ;’(
I miss having a downvote button for these stupid kinds of threads that want Priest nerfed in standard.

I know, right.
I understand not wanting negative numbers, but at least let me down-vote them to zero. If 57 people agree, and over two hundred disagree, the post shouldn’t look like a majority of forum readers agree.
(I know hundreds, if not thousands, of people come to the forums, but everyone doesn’t read all or the same posts. 57 likes is a lot, and at least to me, qualifies as a majority of the readers for that post. There are posts that have thousands of views that don’t even have 50 likes. I purposely chose large numbers for this.)

Sure things are being rotated out…but other cards are being moved to the HoF that are just as cancerous now as divine spirit and inner fire with one exception and thats divine favor…not all palis run that and it shouldnt be removed from standard in my opinion but like i said they are gonna just leave some other cards that shoulda been moved to the HoF already for an entire year longer
honestly the issue is ressurection + minions that start with too much hp. there is no reason for a minion to have 14 hp. thats just 1 divine spirit and innerfire away from 28 damage. Priest has enough cycle to where it doesn’t need shadowvisions. Mosh’ogg enforcer + power word shield + divine spirit + innerfire = 34/34.
Right now there is a lot of power because of the spellstone, eternal servitude, and shadow visions. However I definitely don’t think the deck will just die out when a bunch of cards rotate. All thats going to be added is more cards draw, healing, or taunt minions.

the problem for me was always mass dispell + combo. I play 3 taunts then enemy plays mass dispell double divine + inner fire. divine should be at least 3 mana.

The power creep in minion health is what makes ds/if so toxic.
12 and 14 health playable minions with Rez effects are what make the deck disgusting.

Agreed, rotate DS/IF. Put Shadow Visions in the core set.

“Double a minion’s health. It cannot attack heroes this turn”
Not that I’m for changing it (I’m sitting on the fence on this one), but there are ways to address the OTK part of it without totally gutting it for other uses.

Well what can you do, Priest has to win somehow and sense priests class identity according to blizzard is “do nothing until turn 6”, there is not really anything else left.
I mean seriously, rework priests class cards. Thank you.
Mass DIspel Should Not Exist.
Mass dispel is sooooo lame.
Mass dispel dispels too much counterplay.

You got me in the first half not gonna lie
As long as Mind Blast goes as well… Hell, its overdue for rotating core set or, at minimum, a complete revamp of the B&C sets so they dont have to continually print board clears for Priest.

Take Velen too, and put in a Legendary I can use outside of OTKs. Like, I hate competitive Priest right now. Win Cons should be things that are printed, not in the core set waiting to be enabled. I’ll stick with my Weasel Priests and Hakkar Priests until things simmer down and competitive Priest isn’t the same win conditions in a different shell.
