If Blizzard had a gun with two bullets in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and the Priest class, they'd shoot Priest twice. And draw a card.

Incoming Ben Brode: "Players haven't just discovered the hidden potential in this card yet"

I was so inspired by the brilliant design of this card I made variations for other classes: Back-Purify (2 Mana Rogue spell) : _Deal 2 damage to an undamaged friendly minion. Draw a card._ Moon-Purify (2 Mana Druid spell): _Deal 1 damage to a friendly character. Draw a card._ Ancestral Purify (2 Mana Shaman spell): _Restore an enemy minion to full Health and give it taunt. Draw a card._

This card is so hilariously bad, especially since priest already has Power word: Shield, which costs 1 mana less and actually has a positive effect.

Shadow madness purify wombo combo. 6 mana silence an enemy minion op op

This card... It hurts.........

Atleast make it rare or epic so i'll get more dust when i disenchant it

I wish people would give me a chance :( Ancient watcher + Purify = 4 mana 4/5 and you draw a card... Better than vanilla stats!

Answer is simple. Give Mage Purify. Give Priest Firelands Portal.

Turn 4: Eerie statue Turn 5: Purify 4 mana 7/7 with 2 overload OP OP!

This is a video I come back and watch about every 6 months

Just take the word "friendly" away and it's basically the old owl which would be okay for a class card

Priest was a mistake. Just replace it with Death Knight or whatever WoW class people keep requesting for years. Problem solved. Kappa

Next expansion - 1 mana 7/7, can not attack - priest only

Has anyone made a "Laughing Spanish Man" video meme about Purify yet?

This is the greatest video by Kripp ever.

I've already quit Hearthstone. Blizzard needs to bring fresh eyes/new blood to the Hearthstone development team. The Hearthstone development team has shown time and time again that they are totally incompetent. There are numerous other CCG out there to learn from. There is also the outcries from the Hearthstone community who have said explicitly that having a core set is a bad idea and that Shaman and Priest's core sets are no where near as good as Warrior, Mage, Shaman, Warlock etc core sets. Purify is a spit in the eye from the Hearthstone team. At no point since the beginning of Hearthstone has one class been so bad in both Arena and on Ladder and for such a long time. Priest has never been top tier and no one saying it should be. All we are asking for is more balance between the best and worst decks. Updating/buffing Priests core set would go a long way towards mending all the hatred.

MVP of Priest is gonna be Arcane Anomaly with P Word: Shield, not class cards.

Get rekt by silence priest in UnGoro

"I think babbling book is going to be 65ish, maybe 70!" -Kripparrian

Purify in a nutshell: 2 Mana, common, abandon Hearthstone, start playing Elder Scrolls: Legends.

Everyone is going to be wrong and Purify is the best card 2016

Why do people not play priest ? Its not like they play with their own deck anyway

Purify, the Yamcha of heathstone

Priest is worse than the old shaman

Anyone want to bet that Ben Brode will make video explaining why Purify is great card and why everyone are wrong about it.

I think it would be kind of cool if it were "Silence a friendly minion, then give it +1/+1. Draw a card."

Know what would make this card strong? Just make it unsilence a minion. Giving it back all buffs it already had. It'll be balanced in the term that it's really good if your foe can only silence it and leave it ( and that'll happen a lot less with that type of card floating around) They just need to not be scared of making new cards that have new mechanics like that. The discover mechanic is pretty sweet and so was inspire. Now just make debuffs that last along with ways to deal with the overpowering silence shit.

As a Priest Player i feel betrayed..

Now, i know this comment section is just so flooded with Kripparians i will never be noticed, but this kind of shit that they pull on us, players, is why i have decided not to spend any money on this game at all. I just dont want to give people this fucking stupid any money. Not even a penny.

I think blizzard dont care about arena. Period. It dosent earn them money, they actually loose money because of good players. They will release good and bad cards because its for balancing all the discover and random effects. Thats what going on there mind. The random plays gets the views on youtube not the calculated plays.

wtf that improvisation at 11:40 xD I just can't stop laughing from the face he made

To balance this card: add "...gain 10 empty mana crystals and summon dr boom"

Two videos with no gameplay, seems it's pretty good.

Greetings! Ben Brode here. The Hearthstone Team and I have decided to add a powerful new card to the Priest-arsenal. It's called 'Purify'. After a very long discussion, we've decided to make the card 2 Mana instead of 3! Just think of the possibilities! Purify your own Zombie Chow to get a 3 Mana 2/3 with no downside, or use Purify on Ancient Watcher to get a baseline Chillwind Yeti for just 2 cards. Insane Value! At first we thought this card would be too good, but because we know how much Priest has been struggling in Arena we've decided to make it a Common card! Now every Priest has a higher chance of getting this amazing card!

Due to salt’s fluid retention effect, in some individuals excessive amounts of salt in their diet can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood, and high blood pressure can lead to many serious conditions, such as stroke and heart failure. Although blood pressure increases naturally with age, according to the American Heart Association, reducing your salt intake can help prevent your blood pressure from increasing too much.

Nice job Blizzard.. I am really triggered by this card

I was like "The Old Gods set looks so awesome! It's gonna be the best time to play hearthstone" Turned out to be true Now I see Karazhan It looks like the worst set ever made...

I would not be surprised to see this card saying "Silence an enemy minion. Draw a card." as the expansion comes out.

The only ways this card is viable is if it either nerfed to : UNSILENCE a friendly minion. Draw a card. or : Silence a minion. Draw a card. Thats the only way

But hey, Shadow Priest is great in Legion! :P

I'm early better make a joke. Priests.

Auchenai Soulpriest: play it, circle, board clear; purify; back to heals

As long if you play with your heart and rank 20 any deck is viable

Purity; hurt your own minions (2 mana). Corruption; hurt your enemy minions (1 mana).

Turn 1: Zombie Chow. Turn 2: Purify. Turn 3: Profit.

Come on, its obvious Paladin counter. Got minion with attack reduced to 1? Purify!

This card fits perfectly in aggro priest. Turn 5 play wolf rider then purify, try to attack and concede.

OK so apparently you don't know why Purify is really good. So I explain you: 1. You will realize that you can remove negative effects from your minions 2. It draws you a card 3. It strictly forbid you from wasting it on enemy minions. 4. It costs just 2 mana + It's going to be so broken in arena. Who is the 2nd best class in arena? Paladin. What is his favorite card? Keeper. What Purify says to Keeper? Go to hell!

So the argument is that: "Not every class can be good at all times, there always be a -top- class". That is bullshit. Look at dota 2, it took a long time but in this meta basically every playstyle is viable (notice dota 2 has over 100 heroes with multiple skills and item interaction). Yet HS developers give up on balancing A CARD GAME. I think the statement would better be: "balancing all classes would require ACTUAL work from our side, and we are lazy as fuck so you are better off buying packs and playing net decks"

They probably made the card cost two mana because you can spend the same amount of mana on your hero power to draw a card from a Northshire Cleric on the board. So a card to cater for the times when you don't have a Northshire Cleric on the board.

Well, Ben Brode did at least address the issue. Unfortunately his response was essentially "Yeah we maybe messed up a little bit releasing this card at this time. But we're not going to fix it in any way for Constructed. We'll remove it from Arena, but that's all you get."

man all these kripperino comments coming in quickly you can tell who the loyal ones are 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Kripps reply to this comment. Let's see how much are we.

His shirt accurately describes his feelings on the subject.

guys purify is just for marketing purposes

That shirt though. Lmfao

Turn 7: you play spellsinger, get purify, complain about RNG, play some more stuff. Turn 8: you play the secret that copies whatever your opponent play (miror entitie or something like that, i forget) and some more crap. Turn 9: purify the majordomo executus you copied from your opponent and play more stuff. Turn 10: pyroblast oposing majordomo, go face with yours and win. YAY!

A very soothing rant. I was almost in tears when I saw some of the priests new Karazan stuff. Thank you for this video.

No matter, priest will continue to use your own BEST cards against you!

Reminds me of that "ACTUALLY THE NEW WARSONG COMMANDER IS DECEPTIVELY STRONG THAT NEWER PLAYERS WON'T REALISE" thing. (I don't remember the official statement exactly).

if it was less mana i'd like it in a Volazj deck.

I think that Purify and Firelands Portal are a part of Blizzard's marketing strategy.

Face Hunter: If I'm going down, you two are coming with me! Combo Druid: Nuuuuuuuuuu! Priest of any kind: Hah I'm already at rock bottom, your threat means nothing

I also think Silence a friendly minion, and give it 2/1 would work. Plus card draw of course.

Can't wait to put this card in my unicorn priest that doesn't exist...

You did it kripp! Brode stated that Purify will not show up in arena!

How about 2 mana; silence a minion; draw two cards? Balanced? Decent? Or broken? I think decent.

it's turn 10, you just played deathwing and your opponent has 13 hp. but oh no! your opponent just froze your deathwing! luckily you drew Purify, silenced your deathwing so it could attack, and drew holy smite. see? it's the best card in the game.

its not that bad... you can silence shadow madness

Been watching video about 10 minutes. Look down at his shirt for the first time. I am now scared.

Text should be: "Silence ALL minions. Draw a card." Then it's balanced. Or: "Restore a minion to full health. Draw a card." Balanced

WE NEED MORE RANT VIDEOS, KRIPP.

i would like an archtype of silencing your minions but there are not support to it, 3 mana 6/6 deathrattle take 10 damage, 5 mana 9/9 cant attack something like that

There is one reason to play the card, is basically like playing a deck that is based around bringing out minions that have a debuff but can be used to defend yourself. Silencing or negating someones effect has been around in card games for a long ass time, but I wouldn't straight up call it the worst card in the game as it has it's combos and it can bring out some pretty destructive elements to the field. I think you have discarded some of the possibilities which with Barnes is pretty high and even the 4 mana 7/7, which we know is a very deadly thing. This card basically has the same cost as the 7/7 with shaman as the shaman card has a 2 overcharge which is like loses 2 mana (unless unlocked but that's a minimum of 2 mana so you still lose it anyway.) Purify is basically a way to increase consistency of silences and it could bring a weird priest deck into play, which could be quite good as the cost reduction is great. One thing I keep seeing you hearthstone "pros" do is discard a card just because you read the text thought of a few things and straight up called it bad; HELL you called doctor boom bad and see where that went. my advise for you people is to not listen these idiots as they can't predict for shit.

I am a person who mained priest since beta. I've endured all the nerfs, the cards being removed because they were 'bad' (I'm looking at you, Fade) but turned out to having been great in the current meta. My first golden hero was Anduin. I reached legend for the first time with a control priest in vanilla, and made it a mission to reach legend with priest at least once per expansion - even after Naxx when everything started going really downhill for priests. And I've succeeded, as tough as it's been. But not after WotOG. I'm averaging 5.2 wins in arena with priests (as opposed to 6.8 total, 7.8 with mage and 7.4 with Warlock), and though I reached rank 3 the first month of WotOG, I couldn't get up there. I was stuck between 3 and 5 for 15 days and ended up just doing the last three ranks with zoo. I've tried finding the unicorn priest since Ben "I can't believe I haven't been fired yet" Brode hinted that there might be something. I've failed miserably. I've tried aggro priest, midrange (stupid, I know, but hey - had to try), combo priest, control, dragon tempo, dragon control, C'thun, Yogg, freeze priest, N'Zoth, and numerous versions of Reno priests. Never gotten higher than rank 3. And now I've given up. After seeing the priest cards (and the other cards) in Karazhan, I am officially not playing priest anymore until the next expansion. If I get a priest quest, I will delete it. I have already deleted my priest decks. The day the last Kara cards were released, was the saddest day in my Hearthstone 'career'. You win, Blizzard. You've killed priests. I accept it. Just do us all a favour and delete the class from your system, so we don't have to pretend like you give an ounce of a shit about it.

On point. Amen.

Demonfuse is worse than purify. So is poison blade.

With this card I can finaly rig more tournaments!! HAHAHHA

@kripparian Should be "Silence a minion. If it's a friendly minion, draw a card" at 1 mana. GIves it flexibility in case you don't need to silence an enemy minion and you need a card draw (VERY situational but it's an equitable risk/reward play).

Purify is a good Aldor counter Kappa

I think 2 players got to legend with priest.

Hey guys, how it's going? Salty is here. So today we'll have a video of pure salt, with a little bit of tears. So let me know what you think, enjoy, and i see you guys tomorrow.

Hey, look, Kripp is playing Priest! 8:59

This is one of the many reasons why i will stop playing hearthstone. Blizzard has no idea how to make cards and try to balance the game.

And Rafaam said I was a bad card...

Keep us updated, Kripp! =D

This video is the reason Dragonfire Potion is being printed.

Good news to Kripp and all other arena players. Ben Brode just said in his video addressing the concerns on Purify that the HS team was removing Purify from Arena games

They could of made this card 0 mana

There's a third option Kripp. Blizz can give us some priest minions worth silencing.

Is it me or is purify's existence going to change Hearthstone's future quite a bit

Just like Team Fortress 2, designers don't play their own game and don't communicate with the community enough for the game to be very good, but nothing can be done about it because the game is F2P and already has such a massive following. The big difference is it took about 6-7 years for TF2 to stop listening. How many for Hearthstone? When did Standard launch?

why no bladeflurry nerf rant but now this

You also get card draw, which pretty much means that it's .5 mana silence a friendly minion. Which makes ancient watcher a 2.5 mana 4/5 Or a 4 mana 4/5 draw a card, which is good.

"u think thats what u want, but u dont" every blizz dev

So, Brode made a video about it. Sorry Kripp but the card is great in his opinion and it's a FUN card.

Purify should give you mana....

I can't wait to see clips in the "Pros were wrong" video again.

Power Word: Betrayal
