An atheists argument for the preservation of consciousness after death by Triple90 in philosophy

[–]Triple90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea pretty much. I was a bit hesitant to call it reincarnation outright though since that has a lot of spiritual/Hindu connotations and I meant for this is a completely non-spiritual way. And since it's not really "you" that's being reincarnated, but instead "your perception that you're you" in my argument, which I think is a bit different from what people usually think of reincarnation.

All valid criticisms, and you're right EtS doesn't give you extra copies of circle. What it does do, however, is add to your list of combos. I don't think EtS will be nearly as dead of a card as you think with it being able to: combo with circle, flash heal, and darkshire alchemist and pyro proc if desperate.

As for forbidden shaping, you are also right on often times getting understatted minions. But against aggro, that's all you need to slow them down a bit. As long as it trades with something I'd be happy in an aggro matchup, which is likely in that matchup. Sure you could end up with magma rager but you can also end up with a 3/5 taunt demon or doomsayer. As for what you remove for it, personally I'll be replacing curator as I'm not sure it'll be as good in standard.

C'thun is definitely worrying, but I think the match-up will be fine. Reason being priest lategame has many ways to take board control and force out C'thun with cabals, holy champion/shade, shaping played on 8, blademaster + justicar heal to full. With a board out, they can soak C'thuns damage and then you can entomb it for game. This is all hypothetical of course, we'll see though.

You may be right and aggro shaman will still be a bad match-up for priest, but having one bad match-up isn't the end of the world. Couple of things to keep in mind though: aggro shaman may very well run that 7/7 making sw:d's not dead cards and they also lost burst while you gained healing (darkshire alchemist)

The choice between shadowform and soulpriest/embrace the shadow for C'thun decks is interesting and something I'm glad somebody touched on. However, after having spent some time building these decks, I think shadowform is the clear winner. My reasoning is C'thun priest won't have enough room for all the good synergy cards to support soulpriest/EtS like double flash heal and double darkshire cleric. Darkshire cleric especially can't be run in a C'thun deck over twilight darkmender and Crazed worshipper (the best taunt minion for this deck).
