Mega-unpopular opinion incoming.
I can understand why Raza wasn't neutral but did it have to go to priest? An even stronger late-game, on top of getting a strong early-game, is that was priest really needed right now? I still think that priest is a much better class than many people claim. But priest is garbage tier and has been that was since launch soo.....
Thankfully Anyfin exists, so that there is something that can compete with priest.

That is a brutal card, more than perfect for Shadowpriest decks. With Shadowform as your only 2-of in a Reno Shadowpriest, you can heal up, play 1 Shadowform, hit for 2, play the second Shadowform, and hit for 3, and it only cost you 6 mana, and from then on you can always burn something for 3 every round, regardless of the play. Just be thankful it wasn't given to Mages, with Coldarra Drake in their arsenal.
Now, having seen 2 legendaries from the Kabal, it's clear the Warlock legendary will also have a no-duplicate trigger. Given all the shiny new ways with which Warlocks will be able to wreck their own face, they're gonna need another Reno-type card. Fingers crossed.

It's funny, Shadowform was the first thing that came to my mind too when I saw Raza.
The Kabal theme was stated to be no-dups, so 100% the Warlock leg is going to be the same. What I'm wondering is if there are going to be any epics that do it too since Kazakus + class Leg might not be enough to get people to keep playing Reno decks once Reno rotates out.

Raza is okay, maybe even good, but I think people might be overestimating him at first glance. Offhand, I don't think his ability is as good as Justicar Trueheart's, and she doesn't force you to build a singleton deck. And unlike Warlock and Mage, Priest doesn't have a ton of card draw options to try to compensate for the singleton deck composition and won't draw into the cards that the deck is centered around as often.

Pretty much this.
Also getting this card in the end of your deck playing a single copy of entomb/aoe/etc is just terrible.

Raza is underwhelming. Won't make a noticeable difference, but maybe will create some fun decks.

Raza plus thoughtstolen Coldarra Drake = lol.
|
was hoping Big Velen would get some help, but this card (as a legendary at least) is really unnecessary. It does the job against Hunter or fast decks when played on curve, where you usually don't have any mana left over to heal while playing cards. On the other end It becomes entirely useless in the late game, or against slow control decks.
It is a boring and unspectacular card.
Something more spectacular would have been nice to make Velen decks more significant.
"Battlecry: All your minions have spell dmg +2" or "Deathrattle: Add three "Wrath of Light" to your hand" - some 1 mana 3 dmg spells that can hit both face and minions.

edit: in b4 Beardo value. Yea but how realistic is that to be a consistent plan with so many cards to create a combo. Raza + Shadowform + Beardo + low Mana Spells + Justicar for like 12 dmg...
edit 2: Kabal courier into "the dream" on pulling a Coldarra Drake - what are approx the odds on that?

Still waiting for those shaman cards

Having Wild Growth at 3 mana seems a bit weird. Howes depending on what a Jade Golem is, that can make up for it

Howes depending on what a Jade Golem is, that can make up for it I suppose it might be okay to play on turn 1 with Innervate, if the Jade Golem can kill 1-drops anyway. Or on turn 2 after Coin + Wild Growth on turn 1.

I think it is around 3% chance.

It's also another non-minion for Madam Goya decks.

1-1 "Taunt" - pretty good deal me thinks.

Is this confirmed? The golem tag seems random, and like something people throw onto their half-baked custom cards.
|
Bold writing (for cards with effects) so it could be real but we'll see. Ramp Druid just became a bit more exciting, with the T1 Innervate Coin option this is arguably more impactful than a 4 mana Boost 3-3.

You can only have 1 shadowform in the deck if you have Raza, so you can never have the 3 damage hero power if you want it to cost 0 mana from Raza. The only way would be to "discover" a 3 mana spell from one of the tri-class cards or jeweled scarab and luck out enough to get a second shadowform.

You can have duplicates in your deck, but you have to draw all of them before it will work. It only cares about what's in your deck at the moment you play the card.
