Im currently at rank 2 with this deck playing priest only , it does pretty good against Zoo/Paladin/Handlock/both aggro and control warrior and especially druid, while harder matchups involve shamans/rogues/hunters. Hardest matchup is probably shaman/rogue if you get decent draws hunter ain't that bad of a matchup, our favored matchup is probably any druid. Against lifeloach hunter / druid and almost any class you want to try to get that turn 1/2 yeti ancient watcher with zero cost silence with great luck can be turn 2 4/9 or possibly wild pyro with pws/silence/smite against zoo (getting sw:d against doomguard is also pretty essential at times).
Only thing i might add swap in is cairne when get it and if i get to face more control matchups i'll just add faceless or two swaping out smite. In general with amount of druids we're currently facing this deck does quite alright. Single thoughtsteal can be swapped out for something like abomination/extra azure/smite/faceless/cairne depending on what you're facing the most. I dislike CoH and feel it's often dead card so i don't use it plus this deck runs only a single auchenai. (We could tehnically run taz dingo in place of it but i feel i rather have auchenai as that taunt is often irrelevant)
great deck, only missing 3 cards: a second Ancient Watcher, a second Wild Pyromancer, and a second Holy Fire. What I put in instead is Faceless Manipulator, a second Northshire cleric, and a Mind Blast.
To be honest I absolutely LOVE mind blast with Prophet Velen only because on turn 9 turns mind blast into a 2 cost 10 damage spell, so a turn 9 pyroblast, or turn 8 pyroblast with coin, though only targets the enemy hero. I probably could add something better than another Northshire Cleric, like a Sunwalker, or an Argent Commander, but i feel this deck has enough late game power. As for Faceless Manipulator, in my opinion, they are the strongest card in the game, copy one of the enemy's strongest minions, or have 2 Ragnaros on turn 9.
very sexy deck but ysera not needed ;)
Finally, a priest deck that doesn't run circle + blademaster.
Have my up vote good sir ~
I've been having pretty solid success with this deck so far. I just wanted to add that it's working out pretty well around rank 12-13. Very fun as well. However, I've not seen much value from Velen, at least not offensively. I think one game I was able to use him to pop some heals on myself vs. Handlock; but I haven't been able to capitalize on it. I wonder if there may not be a better valued card. I also subbed out Cabal for Cairne to much success. I know once I get higher in ranks it will change though.
What should I replace with prophet velen?
this is a build I'd like to try my hand at playing. Thoughtsteal seems a bit odd to me, I think I may switch them out for 1x defender of argus and 1x Harvest Golem for some consistent midgame. Is this a good idea, or is thoughtsteal better at that high rank?
Ysera has screwed me over more times than its done me any good. Its a 20% chance for a board wipe but most of the time i get laughing sister, the power overwhealming or dream. None of which help much in any situation. Youd benefit more from a solid 6 drop like sunwalker, cairne or even hogger who almost guarantees a poly/hex or similar removal.
I am also not sure on how youre killing your opponent with only 6-7 real attacking minions. The rest is cannon fodder from what i see and once you match up vs someone who can remove even 3 of those 6-7 attackers you look pretty screwed. These are just my thoughts.
I like the Deck personally though if you ever run Velen i must run mind blast as the combo is deadly. 9 mana for a 7/7 minion and 10 damage to face.
Would like to know how Ysera fits in the deck it seems like a slow dead card draw. Perhaps Sylvanas or Cairne???
Currently 2/2 with the deck versed a warlock zoo and tempo rogue at rank 8. Further testing is needed but seems promising.
