Hearthstone

Ben Brode has posted a Designer Insights talking about the recently revealed Priest card, . The
backlash from the community
has been tremendous with people demanding Blizzard address the state of Priest.
Highlights
Brode admits Blizzard misread the current state of Hearthstone and that they probably should have released Purify alongside other strong Priest cards.
Because it messes with Arena balance, they're removing it from the available card pool like how they did with the Old Gods cultists.
They hope Priest won't be terrible like everyone thinks it is, but if it is, Brode and the team take the blame for that and will do better in the future.

Does Blizzard not realize that priest already has a 1 mana card draw? It's called Power Word: Shield.
Yea, but having one of those is ok, while having more becomes troublesome or might.
Honestly, I feel like that is more a flaw in the card design philosophy. I don't think there should be an issue with "we can't put more duplicates of this type of card in the game, it would be overpowered". To me, that just sounds like the card itself wasn't balanced in the first place, and the only way they can pad its power is to not print similar cards.
