Strategy
Darkshire Alchemist is a very versatile card that can find a place in nearly any Priest deck. The heal for 5 can help you survive against aggro decks, and can also combo with Auchenai Soulpriest or Embrace the Shadow to deal 5 damage to an enemy. While this would generally be used to remove an enemy minion, the damage can also function as burst in a class which normally has none. Alternatively, the heal can help keep one of your big minions alive.
