- Isn't it about time Priest in Hearthstone got an update? Join me as I give Priest their own unique deckbuilding and resource systems, just like Death Knight has!

If I had a nickel for each priest class revisit that had an Old God as the main payoff for the insanity archetype, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Seriously cool ideas here! Love the mixture of having insanity and piety! And as always the presentation is just fantastic!
I wanted to make it C'thun as well but I figured that'd be a bit too on the nose :P
I really like all the idea, how old classes could be reimagined, because honestly, after adding Death Knight, all the other classes do feel tad boring and kidna unimaginative to me.
The only problem I have with this idea is that the discipline specialization seems like a nightmare to make. From the presentation at 1:27 it looks that you cannot get discipline specialization by not playing any shadow and holy spells so, it would require a perfect format where both spell schools have similiar number of good cards, which would almost never happen. Even now checking standard cards, while priest have similiar number of both holy and shadow spells (13 vs 12), most of the shadow spells are lacking in power level and synergy. I would probably tweak the numbers a bit. Maybe shadow and Holy would require no spells of the other school, while discipline would require to have at least 3 of each?
Other than that I really like the rest. I honestly really hope, blizzard will try to modernize rest of the classes a bit. They kidna did that with priest, with the addition of Benedictus to core set, but now we are back to start. Shame.
Priest main with 2.5k priest wins and I love this.
Honestly the game doesn't really need any new Rune class. Runes already make Death Knight really limited in how they play so I feel like it just makes it... Bad
Interesting idea. With how it is made, it actually allows the class not to be forced to run one of those, unlike death knight. The struggle of keeping all triple rune decks good proved very hard and they gave up on it and made rainbow. But with this, you can still get access to most cards from holy and shadow. And if this was to ever be implemented into Hs, the Discipline deck might be the worst one since you have to run exactly same number of holy and shadow spells, which is fine. Overall good idea👏
Feels a bit too complicated to work in the actual game. Personally, if the goal is to apply Death Knight's rune mechanic to Priest, then I would go with the three sub classes being Holy, Shadow, and Thought, or some equivalent term. Holy would have an emphasis on control, healing, single target buffs, resurrection, and spell spam, and its removal will tend to deal direct damage to minions, as opposed to pure destruction effects. It would have Prophet Velen as a 2 rune legendary, so you can still run it with mind blast, which would be a 1 rune shadow card, and it would have Pelagos as a triple rune legendary, as well as the Activate the Obelisk quest.
Shadow would have an emphasis on aggression, death rattles, undead, damage spells and effects that can go face, unlike holy, shadowform, perfect removal like the shadow words death and pain, ressurection specifically targeted at undead, and drain effects like Serena Bloodfeather or Voljin, which steal stats from enemy minions. For legendaries, it would have Darkbishop Benedictus, Shadowreaper Anduin, and Catrina Muerte, along with several other obvious choices.
For Thought, they would be focused on disruption and imitation. They would have an emphasis on silence, copy effects, and minions which benefit from being silenced. The idea behind this subclass would be that they can do things with silence that no other class can do. They can copy the opponent's cards, and then ruin the originals. Unique to them, they will have some cards that can silence enemy cards before they are played, thus preemptively negating battlecry effects. Obviously this would also be the home of Purify, as well as some minions with high stats with negative effects, like can't attack. Psychic Scream would find its place here as a triple rune card, as would Mindrender illucia, with her original cost and effect, but in a sub class that would not be able to abuse her the way she was when released that made it necessary to nerf her. They would also have access to Soul Mirror, Murozond, and Zerek's Cloning Gallery.
Thanks for the comment! You definitely gave this a lot of thought! I think some kind of combination of our two ideas could work well, with the archetypes you described. For example, I think Silence Priest could slot very well into the Discipline (or Thought) specialization!
That's really good concept. I wish team 5 did that instead of overheal keyword when they decided to update priest in general. With this mechanic priest feels like an actual class, because almost everything that was making priest unique is now exists in other classes like paladin, druid and rogue.
Have you posted that on reddit? I think if devs would see that they'll consider this as possible way to develop character.
Thanks for the kind words! I shared it on the Custom Hearthstone subreddit, the actual Hearthstone subreddit is usually not that responsive to my ideas.
@@BlututhHS This one is really worth to try. There's a lot of garbage on custom subreddit. I don't think devs are paying much attention to that.
P.S. don't post link to that video, post everything there.
1:24 _(kills his own Darkbishop just because)_
Holy Quake only healing damaged characters is actually pretty smart, since you can't just play a full health minion and draw a card from it, since it won't be (Over)healed.
for some reason i thought there would be faith type cards...
you know cards that do nothing when played but are beneficial later...
actually now that i think about it then technically they could also include stuff like
quick draw
cast when drawn cards
each turn this is in your hand x
if your hero is below x hp
if your enemy has more minions on the board than you
this minion starts dormant
can only be played on a empty battlefield
....and stuff like that where you essentially get powerful effects but only if you fill some specific conditions first.... could also include cards that have effects like can only draw this if you have enough mana to play it or "always your last card (inserted into the deck after theres nothing else in the deck)"
You should collaborate with Rarran to do a deckbuilding challenge battle under this rune rules. Would be fun followup
That would be really cool, but I'm not sure Rarran even knows I exist :P
@@BlututhHS shoot your shot champ
That’s cool, seems very simple and intuitive for deckbuilding, doesn’t really change the class a lot in terms of deck restrictions but still allows for fun and powerful cards if you do commit to discipline for example
These are so cool. Well thought out, feels in line with what Priest is already doing... I love it.
Edit: Wow Cho'Rush really has good stats for the cost!
this is genious and i wish hearthstone had this, heres a couple of ideas for other classes
warrior: give it stances as runes , prot stance is controll orianted with armor gain, berserker stance which is weapon orianted and meybe has alot of pirates and aggro since they synergize (and mby a legendary spell that gives you the ability to equip two weapons and attack with both like fury warriors in wow) and battle stance which would be the mix of the two, still have both controll and aggro and possibly a mechanic that allows to have minnions of multiple stances and the stance switches when you play one of them since warriors in wow were known for stance dancing
rogue:poison rune, stealth rune and shadow rune (they have a bunch of shadow spells if i remember correctly), meybe a legendary spell that allows them to stealth for a turn and deal damage to everything equal to number of combos activated last turn
druids: sun/moon/stars, beasts and nature and cards that allow them to switch into more powerfull beast/other forms if there are more then one rune type in the deck
Those are some really great ideas! I really like what you thought of for Warrior in particular! I could totally see myself using their stance system as a new mechanic for Hearthstone!
I'm not sure I'll be doing a Rogue overhaul because I think BionicDoor did such a good job with his Rogue revisit, but for Druid I have a couple ideas that are not too dissimilar from what you suggested!
@@BlututhHS glad to help, looking forward to your next class rework
that looks very good
Looks pretty dope bro
Good idea ❤❤❤❤
The first seconds gave me vibes.
super cool ideas! This video was so much fun, you are incredibly creative
I always love seeing your creative takes on existing classes. Keep up the good work man!
Well that sounds good. Nice concept
