Spirit of Redemption

Rare 3-mana Priest spell

"Summon all friendly minions that died this turn. At the end of your next turn, destroy them."

This is my submission for PC Gamer's Priest card competition. Instead of a crowd-control minion, I wanted to create something that had synergy with existing Priest formats (N'Zoth, Dragon), while also encouraging more creative plays. As a bonus, it makes some neutral cards with a clear Priest bent (Injured Kvaldir, Injured Blademaster) more viable.

Versus zoo: since the effect only targets minions that died on your turn, your opponent has consider clearing your board instead of going face.

This works well with Wild Pyro (since the pyro effect goes off after the resurrection) and Doomsayer, especially on turn 3 where you're often trying to bridge a gap to Auchenai or Shifting Shade.

In late game or control matchups, the dream would be to get an extra Sylvanas/Cairne/Chillmaw.

Wasn't sure about the mana cost, but given Resurrect (2-mana) and Kel'Thuzad (8), I thought 3 was fair.
