4. Herald Volazj
Herald Volazj was another card I was excited about, but simply didn’t pan out. The idea behind this card is unique and fun, but it’s also incredibly difficult to pull off anything useful. In order to get any real value off of Herald you need to copy something valuable like Sylvanas, Cairne, or Ragnaros. However, all of those have high mana costs, as does Herald, making combining them difficult. In addition, there are currently very few Control Priest archetypes, as they cycle between C’Thun Priest and Dragon Priest. Neither of which finds a place for Herald. Not to say that this is an awful card, it certainly has some interesting potential, but it’s not competitive in any sense. Perhaps down the line we’ll see a new Lightbomb style card that resurrects Control Priest, and Herald can potentially fill in some missing gaps then.
