Cabal Shadow Priest is a powerful card commonly used in priest control decks. As well as providing a solid (if somewhat pricey) 4/5 body, it allows the priest to take permanent control of an enemy minion, essentially a mini- Mind Control Mind Control Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Priest Cost: 10 Abilities: Take control Take control of an enemy minion.Nominated as "Spell Most Likely to Make Your Opponent Punch the Wall."See this card on Hearthpwn data .
The key limitation of Cabal Shadow Priest is its Attack requirement; only minions with 2 or less Attack can be controlled. This generally limits the effect to smaller minions, although some such as Maexxna Maexxna Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Subtype: Beast Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 2 Health: 8 Abilities: Destroy, Poisonous Tags: Damage-related, Triggered effect PoisonousMaexxna gets super mad when people introduce her as "Maxina" or "Maxxy".See this or Baron Rivendare Baron Rivendare Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 4 Attack: 1 Health: 7 Tags: Deathrattle-related, Ongoing effect Your minions trigger their Deathrattles twice.There used to be five Horsemen but one of them left because

The value to the Shadow Priest`s Battlecry lies not simply in removing an enemy minion, but in effectively granting the player a new minion as well. This makes it equivalent to a combined Destroy Destroying a minion or weapon removes it from play. Only minions currently on the battlefield and weapons that are currently equipped can be destroyed. Discarding a card removes it directly from the player s hand and and Summon For information on summoning minions, see Minion#Summoning. Summon is an ability which summons one or more minions. Distinct from regular summoning, a minion generated by the summon ability does not consume or come from an effect, essentially performing three actions: 1) summon a 4/5 minion; 2) remove an enemy minion with 2 or less Attack; 3) acquire a friendly minion with 2 or less Attack. Because of this three-pronged approach, even when the minion stolen is small, the Cabal can be a very efficient play.
Needless to say, the Battlecry`s target is of extreme importance. Valuable targets include Taunts The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability.
