The Priest, represented by Anduin Wrynn, is one of the most control-centric classes to be found in Hearthstone. The class’s card synergy gives the player the option to make the opponent fight on their terms, should they be dealt a lucky hand.
Priests are perhaps the most popular class to be found in the halls of Hearthstone matchmaking because they can not only heal themselves (and their minions), but also have a wealth of opponent minion-control options and cards that damage the opponent’s health and deck.
Alongside neutral minions, the class-exclusives such as Cabal Shadow Priest, Auchenail Soulpriest, and Prophet Velen (to name a few) are powerful tools indeed.
The card list below includes the Priest’s minions and spell cards in the current build of Hearthstone (1.0.0.3939), including those spawned by other abilities. Those that are not collectible are noted as such.
Keep in mind cards noted as being ‘Basic’ are those the player receives by default as they level their hero. That said, Priests have some of the most powerful ‘Basic’ cards in the game.
