Palm Reading. That’s the big one, doesn’t need a nerf, it’s Serv/Essence that actually DO something threatening. I mean Palm Reading sets up OTK’s sorta but those OTK’s are susceptible to disruption and aggro so.
Palm Reading, Shadow Essence, Eternal Servitude.
Those are the core critical cards in Big Priest that are the most OP.
Only one’s id nerf would be Essence or Servitude.
“Pay tempo now, to lower the mana cost, of your future mana cheaters and defensive spells”. Like all non aggro decks would use 2x Palm Reading if they could.
A Mage could totally OTK you without the quest or without antonidas just flamewaker apprentice and spells if it had Palm Reading too to set it up.
A Rexxar could like cast cheat mana a turn earlier, like Boomzooka on 6! I know, then the class might have a shot at being playable. Or, set up an OTK, even though we have 0 defensive cards that work or disrupt hands/decks/costs. I mean if we see Mage Secret up we just Flare it and watch the match lose to Counterspell that never will not be ran.
I mean, maybe Scream’s OP, but its also only playable bc spirit lash and earlier heal/aoe is there to keep a priest in the match on 7. Like, if Rexxar had Scream, it would of course help but it wouldnt be that good since we can’t heal or remove things just trade or let your opponent bounce back their own choice. Hysteria i feel is stronger than Scream since it actually if “read” from a “palm” helps vs aggro that isn’t from-hand like mage.
It’s 3 cards:
Palm Reading
20 mile gap
Essence, and Servitude.
Those 3 cards are Big Priest.
Can you see how OP this trio is going forward?
You think it’s powerful now, wait until Big Priest gets disruption via some neutral minion or maybe a class minion that affects your opponent’s actual plan like discard or shuffle or pull or change mana cost or counterspell or something like that.
Basically Big Priest has the spells, it just needs to stare at each expansions neutrals and priest minions to look for OP disruption to add into it, so it doesn’t lose to combo every single time, then it will be the best deck in the game w/o a doubt. See the problem in wild you created devs? Give Big Priest a “when this attacks your opponent shuffles their hand, discards a card, spells cost 1 more, cancels their spell, pulls a minion from their hand” anything like that on a stick is gg for Big Priest forever bc it will get cheated on turn 4/5 all because of Palm Reading.
That’s not clever deckbuilding, it’s literally just paging through the new minions can be done in under 20 min, to see what slots into big priest. And they call this game a deckbuilders game…more like a deckeditor. Youtube’s like “new big priest is OP” and its like, yea we all spotted that in under a half hour lookin over the cards sorry streamer you aren’t showing us anything unexpected regardless of jamming the words “new” and “OP” in your title for income. “this new minion that now disrupts slots into big priest” isnt a hard thing to see should that happen. The game is so dead, i mean the format, not the game.
“Do you like editing old decks a card or two…and that’s it for 4 months? Then Wild’s for u!”
See?
