Hi guys, i recommend you try this deck out. It's the ultimate control deck, with plenty of early game to beat all aggro decks as well as Pirate Cancer.
Updated for Gaz: +2 Dragonoid Operative = Best new Card. +2 Dragonfire Potion = Best Clear in the game. -1 Azure Drake (doesn't combo with potion) +1 Book Wyrm, as there are many 3/4 in the current game.
+ Brann Bronzebeard because we are greedy for more Draknoid Operative combo.
You will never run out of cards using this deck. Just focus on clearing the board each turn and mounting control of the board.
So far i have climbed rapidly, including a 9 game win streak
Mulligans:
Fairly standard in this deck. Usually we want to keep Zombie Chow and Twilight Whelp regardless of who we are playing.
We can keep Northshire Cleric, but we only play her turn 1 against heroes that can't destroy her. Warrior, Druid, Warlock, Mage, Shaman can clear her mostly. Great to play turn 1 against Pally.
Twilight Guardian I nearly always keep. We usually draw another dragon by turn 4. With coin Azure Drake is also nice to keep. We really want some dragon action early, a had of spells could mean you begin to far behind.
Museum Curator is ok turn 2, but I prefer to draw him rather then keep him in starting hand. He is a good card when we don't have much of a play and can provide us with what we need. Sometimes a 2nd Chillmaw which is handy to keep in hand.
This deck looks good on paper, just like the excavated evil priest because they seems soooooo anti aggressive decks.
But both this deck and the other one goes just slow enough for specially secret paladin to be able to build a board (with all their sticky minions that will survive your aoe).
Even if you get chillmaw it doesn't matter if MC is already out on a big board.
So unfortunately this deck won't work 5-legend unless you are lucky.
Secradins will kill you.
Big +1 for the deck, had great results with it.
If you feel you're facing too many aggro decks / cancer secret paladins, you can alternate with the Anti-Aggro Taunt Priest Deck.
Players are actually getting really good results against Secret Pally. The deck has all it needs to clear a turn 6 or 7 MC.
Call me crazy but this looks like a mess, 60% Dragon Priest, 30% Control Priest and 10% something in betwen + Elise Starseeker.
I really dont see a reason to play 2 Zombie Chow in any Drag.Priest deck, and you play 1 Cabal Shadow Priest so there is absolutly no reason to also play 1 Shrinkmeister.
BTW is Chillmaw necessary, ye sure its a boardwhipe for sticky craps... im also big fan of Justicar Trueheart is there any place for her ?
Can u reach legend with this deck?
A good player with time can for sure. I have neither of these...
I love Dragon Priest too, check my version. Don't like the curators nor have I tried Elise. Maybe that's a good idea because DP is weak against control and Elise can compensate that.
Elise Starseeker can be our only saviour against the likes of Reno Lock, often needing to find a way to kill him after Reno and Jaraxxus.
what ranks did you advance with this deck?
Rank 18 to rank 6 at the moment. Haven't had a chance to play much the last couple of days. I didn't get the early stats (from rank 18 - 11) , i wish i did because i think it would have peaked somewhere around 79%.
Unfortunately Freeze mage does destroy us. Haven't beaten one yet, we are a little slow to beat them. A dream opening hand and a bad one for them is our only chance.
22 games is an incredibly small sample size, and then to inflate it by rounding up is just laughable. Come back when you have 100 games under your belt.
removed Elise Starseeker so I could add another Entomb
What do you think about excavated in this deck? Would it go against the flow of the deck? I really just want to get rid of my last zombie chow (traded one for justicar) I'm not really on a budget so the more suggestion regardless of cost would be appriciated'
I've never liked the card. We have good clearance with Holy Nova doubled with our Spell Damage cards.
Lightbomb is our savior against a strong board.
Why give our opponent a draw to clear our board? If you want to replace a zombie chow, i'd suggest one of the sisters.
Is there any replacements for the LOE cards? lol i saw the deck needed 0 dust so i checked this out and it turned out all i need is LOE.
Hi there, I have run this deck withoutEntomb and Elise Starseeker, but you really do need Museum Curator. He allows you to play a card on curve and this deck is about having a big hand. If we start top decking, we usually lose.
I'd invest in LOE before the patch.
Loe will be fine after the patch, only the naxx adventure won't be available for purchase
Changed one zombie chow for Fjola Lightbane and havnt lost a game ;)
Looks a good choice. Lately i've been drawing my 2nd Zombie Chow late, which is useless unless you find Monkey.
I might try this myself.
