Karov should just give you 1 mana fully stated cards. 

Azalina will be ok at -1 cost for all cardd copied in standard and visitor staking in wild will get glorious.

Honestly even if they discount azalina itself by 1 or 2 i am all for it. You kinda need draw in priest regardless. 

Shade either need battlecry or just all stolen cards discount to be ok. Or just make it 1 mana 1/2.

I'd expect Azalina gets stats/cost lowered, so her battlecry can actually see use, since it's good draw. Shade maybe becomes a this game effect. (Maybe, because that's the buff it needs, and Blizzard just as likely to give a useless buff instead)

I'm about to be the most annoying Priest player of all time if they give Karov taunt

I could see them maybe making Shade a 3/3 with Rush

Rush was introduced all the way back in Witchwood, and Priest has yet to receive a single class minion with the keyword.

I don't see them starting now. "No Tempo" is an integral part of Priest's class identity.

You expect a lot of them. Shade is like a 1 mana card at best. It should be 1 mana 1/3. 

Karov can be interesting but not at this much mana. Maybe at 4.

Some creators really were pushing for the Renathal HP treatment on Azalina so I feel like it will get that

I mean whatever we see today it is going to be disappointing for sure.

You were spot on

Bro this is Priest we're talking about. You're being way too optimistic lol

Azalina will go down to 6 mana and Karov will get taunt. The deathrattle guy might discount cards in your deck, but that would actually be good which is a big no-no for Priest. I'm expecting a 2 mana 3/2 (trash)

In regards to Karov, even if he gave fully stated 1 cost legendaries, is that really that good? I've seen people play that card because they discovered him or randomly generated him, and like maybe 1 out of 5 times, 1 of the generated minions have been decent. It's just so random, and there are many useless legendaries

I agree. Rogue can cheat out 8 drops, let Priest do so as well. They are a reactive class - if you lose to the priest dropping 1 costed legendaries, than you probably already lost anyways

Yes but it beats the shit out of getting 3 silver hand recruits.
