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.
hey man this deck seems awesome! unfortunately i lack chillmaw, so what do you think would be a solid replacement?
Chillmaw is super important, but it's possible to draw him from Museum Curator. Dr. Boom if you have it, but another dragon is also important so Chromaggus is another good choice.
Owned Druid man. Probably the easiest match up.
Lost once when i draw a hand of spell and couldn't recover.
Good deck have won like 3 in a row at rank 10. I took out ysera and chillmaw for justicar and chrommagus. With the amount of cancer decks on ladder I think justicar has to be in every single priest deck. Also running another lightbomb and a bran. Figure if the goal is to survive until monkey this allows me to do that.
You cut Ysera and Chill for Justicar and Chrommagus. What other 2 cards did you cut for Brann and the 2nd Lighbomb?
It's possible to drop a Zombie Chow, but Shrinkmeister/Cabal combo is too good. Against a mirror, it's possible to steal their Ysera, and against control pally, its good to steal their Sludge Belcher
Looks good! :) Can you explain why you run Zombie Chow when you've got Twilight Whelp as your go-to 1 drop?
I would say Twilight Whelp sometimes can only be played if you have other dragon synergy in hand to buff it up, its quite weak if you don't or it can help synergy other cards like Twilight Guardian, Blackwing Corruptor for later turns
Carmanderho is correct. There are 8 dragons in this deck. I never play Twilight Whelp without the dragon buff. It is extremely weak without it.
If you have both Zombie Chow and Whelp turn 1, always play Zombie Chow.
The point of the deck is to survive early, build a hand and board presence, win with a board that can't be cleared.
AlsoZombie Chow is weak to draw late game. Don't play him late, save him for Golden Monkey replacement value.
Cheers guys
