ThijsHs pilots this deck to great effect. The deck is pretty standard in terms of Priest control, but does offer some great options for dealing with Sludge Belcher. And Thanks to thought steal you are almost always given options amd tools to counter most of what your opponent can throw at you.
Check out ThijsHs Coaching TheChiv in this weeks DeckTalk.
So whats a good replacement for The Black Knight ? Add another Holy Fire or Cabal Shadow Priest? Or something else Ragnaros the Firelord or Ysera?
personally the way this meta is I would say cabal it will allow you to take away the hunters ability of getting a good value kill command.
its really good. i like Earthen Ring Farseer with Auchenai Soulpriest. Avesome for 3 mana.
maybe - The Black Knight +Earthen Ring Farseer or + Cairne Bloodhoof or + Ysera
i think Ysera is the best for this deck
How to deal against control warrior with alextraza?
Well as i really appreciate all your effort to support the community there is something that really bothers me. This Deck is neither a real Control Deck nor is it competetive for ladderclimbing. You loose to aggro Decks very easily so there is no control. This Deck sure is a really good Tournament Deck or competitive in higher ranks. I really do wish that you mention that in the description. Also i would like to have an addition for categorizing those Decks here. There also should be a Category Constructed Ladder or Tournament or something to make it clear. Otherwise you have to rely on the description or the Video for this Deck which is missing imo. Anyway, thanks for this Deck but i could not use it for climbing the ladder or make my dailys due to bad rng. Bad rng of course shouldn´t have too much impact on a control Deck.
This deck has been giving me a lot of success so far. Making small changes pending on what classes you go up against. Was having a lot of trouble with both variations of locks and this deck seems to be the perfect answer for that.
And it's lots of fun to play with! :)
This is more of an tournament-deck than an actual meta-deck. Don't know if 2 Holy Nova aren't too much: meta is getting faster again, maybe too fast for Holy Nova.Mind Control is now more often a dead card. Personally i would replace 1 Mind Control with 1 Faceless Manipulator
I do think the second Holy Nova is better as Holy Fire. While Nova is great against Hunter, there's already so much AoE in the deck and decks like Zoo and Shaman have Creepers/Eggs and Defenders of Argus to play around it. Meanwhile, Holy Fire is also superb against Hunter, buying you precious breathing room to play around an Explosive Trap and/or Kill Command(s), but it also let's you deal with 4 attack minions, recover from Alexstrasza plays, or just give you a little burst to finish off an opponent.
I understand the urge to drop Mind Control, but I feel in doing so you'd basically concede all Warrior, Handlock, and mirror matches -- especially since this specific deck forgoes Ysera. Most of the matches where Mind Control is, basically, dead I feel the rest of the deck is already exceedingly strong. Sure, it sucks when you mulligan into it, but, typically, you should still have plenty of tools for early-mid game.
Even against Handlock Mind Control doesn't help very much, because you only can deal with it after 10 mana. And the problem is, and that may be a personal one, that i always mulligan Mind Control if i go first and against hunter, always.
And to deal with Ysera... i hate her and yes, only for her a mind control is worth to take in my deck, but if i see her too often i rather take a Crazed Alchemist than a Mind Control in my deck: Better to deal with a 12/4 than having a dead card for 10 rounds or getting it only after she has done the damage. Also he sometimes saved my life with a Injured Blademaster-Silence wombo combo.
Suggested replacements for Sylv and black knight?
Ummmm The black knight you can take a second holy fire, Sylavanas im sorry to say is gonna be kinda game breaking for you.
Took out an Injured Blademaster for a Ragnaros the Firelord just because
People hate the idea, but I'm really enjoying him in there. I just love having late game fire power. Sometimes I take out Mind Control instead.
100% agree
Awesome deck, been having a lot of fun and success with it.
