Radiant Elemental

Radiant Elemental is a common priest minion card, from the Journey to Un'Goro set.

Strategy
This card is the Priest's version of Sorcerer's Apprentice. On top of having good stats, it has strong synergy with both spell-based decks and Elemental decks. Priests can play a free Power Word: Shield on the same turn, it can be copied with Mirage Caller for more spell cost reduction, and enables more spells to be used with Lyra the Sunshard. As Priests lack strong 2-cost minions, it's a strong card to include in almost any Priest deck.

Lore
The flavor text implies that the Radiant Elemental is a Lightspawn empowered by lava, or perhaps a light-infused Fire Elemental. Formerly unique to Hearthstone, light elementals would later be incorporated into World of Warcraft with the introduction of Sol the Priest champion.
