The Analysis of Dark Cultist

Blizzard released a new minion of Priest – Dark Cultist. This minions looks not bad, here let’s talk about what he can bring for the Priest.

About the Body

The body 3/3/4 is excellent, which is likely to realize 1 trade 2. And the deathrattle effect make it has higher survive rate. Why? Here is an example:

At turn 3, the cards that can knock him out are: Rogue’s Eviscerate, Hunter’s Deadly Shot, Warlock’s Shadowbolt, and Shaman’s Lava Burst, however, given his deathrattle effect, it’s not a good choice to kill him when he has friendly minions on board. Therefore, in other word, the deathrattle effect makes his friendly minions be soft taunts, unless he is silenced.

About the Cooperation

It’s well known that Priest has a great AoE combo: Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing. Usually, after playing this combo at turn 4, there is only the 3/1 Auchenai Soulpries left on board, which makes her be killed easily in the next turn. In this case, if the Dark Cultist is on board before you playing this combo, the Auchenai Soulpriest will gain +3 health, so that she has higher survive rate in the next turn.

Besides, for a Priest deck with Divine Spirit + Inner Fire combo, Dark Cultist is a great help to create a big monster. Well, any other combos for this new minion? Just share with us.
