Have you ever heard the expression “you can’t have your cake and eat it too”?
People aren’t as dumb as you think they are.
You care to explain what you are implying? I don’t like the card and I stated my reasons. You can like or dislike my opinion and you can explain why, but you have no right to insinuate anything regarding my motivations or my thoughts.
This means less than nothing coming from someone who ignores discussion to take “dude” as an insulting slang term.

Well, that is the nicest thing you’ve said since this discussion began.
I figured the nicest thing was when I explained why it isn’t an overpowered card, and Wardrum even seems to take a similar line of thought on the matter.
As with most discussions on here though, you’d rather close yourself off to any other perspective and use your emotions to dictate how powerful you perceive cards to be.

If other people are beating priest you aren’t losing more than you should because of Thoughtsteal, you are losing more than you should because of how you play and/or because of card substitutions in your deck from the optimal deck.
The fact that you don’t seem to understand that and make poor performance the fault of anything else but your own choices is why you have a parade of people pointing it out to you in every one of these whiny threads (they are whiny because they are emotionally conceived and not within reason).
Font of Power, Ray of Frost, Ancient Mysteries, Frost Nova, Reno the Relicologist, Zephrys, and DQA, for starters. Granted, Zephrys and DQA are only bad if you’re playing Galakrond rather than Highlander Priest, but still.

I still think Priest would be better and other players wouldn’t hate it as much if they were simply given card draw that operates dependent on their healing. IDk, like Arcane Intellect that they have to heal to use.
That’s what Northshire Cleric did. Pretty sure people were complaining about Priest back when it could play that in Standard too.
That would be fantastic and honestly, I bet just about everyone on here would agree with you on that. I know I do!!
Unfortunately for all of us, the devs have gone out of their way to make sure that consistent card draw is NOT something Priest has access to. Instead, we get this.
Sounds clunky and stupid. Why not restrict mage draw then? You can only draw cards if you killed a minion this turn.
You’ll get used to it. Like the rest of us.
They did mention on Reddit or something a while back that they’ve heard the feedback about the disparity in draw between classes.
Whether that means they’ll do something about it in the form of better draw, or just buffs/nerfs to equalize things that way is an entirely different issue…
That’s still way better than requiring healing to do it.
So, a 1 mana draw one is bad. A one mana, deal two dmg and freeze is bad, a three mana board freeze is bad. And an 8/8 that Priest got for two mana is bad. got it. I’m surprised Mage is even on the ladder at all with all of those terrible cards.
Mage Minions are often highly synergistic. This card is pretty bad for Priest, yes.
A TWO mana, deal 2 and Freeze isn’t the best, especially considering that Priest doesn’t make the kinds of boards that Mage does.
See above. Also, Mage can chain Freezes and/or run Doomsayer with it. Those are what make Frost Nova good in Highlander Mage, not Nova itself.
That’s eleven mana for an 8/8. Yes, that’s absolutely terrible.

A 1 mana “discover a random minion” is bad, yes. If it wasn’t, wouldn’t Mages run it in minion decks?
I would’ve thought that a Mage would be aware that the two damage of Ray of Frost is 2 mana, and Priest doesn’t have other ways to reliably freeze the board. But yes, against Mage it’s a bad card. What Mage minion should I be concerned with freezing, exactly?
See above.
A 9-mana 8/8 that the Priest gets no benefit from. You do understand that the Priest still has to play the card, yes?

Northshire seems alot more fair than Thoughtsteal is to me. I didn’t criticize the card then, and I don’t know why people would. Were the stats too good? Seems like 1/2 would have been fine. I honestly don’t remember why this card was such a problem to others.
Did you really just call ray of frost and frost nova bad?
It’s simply adorable you want anyone to take your balance advice seriouosly
