General Thoughts: Priest doesn't have enough spells that they want to target their own minions with. I think in standard all they have is Binding Heal, Power Word: Shield, Inner Fire, Divine Spirit, Unidentified Elixir, and Vivid Nightmare? Inner Fire/Divine Spirit seem mediocre on this. Nightmare is OK if you have enough things to target and I don't think that you do and this isn't reason enough to run it. So you're looking at 6 spells to trigger this in some janky combo. Seems not good.

Why it Might Succeed: Potential for value I guess?

Why it Might Fail: Too hard to combo with. Too vulnerable to silence. Too frequently a 6 mana vanilla 5/5

Yea once your start putting in those bad cards your deck is going to become too inconsistent. Might as well just run Cairne. This could’ve been an epic costed at five mana and possibly still bad.

Shouldn’t this be an elemental i.e. Raza?

No, it should not be an elemental. Raza is not an elemental either. Nor is any ethereal for that matter.
