Hi guys! I just started playing this deck and really liked it! It has a good width and is decent+ mostly very good against all classes / decks. It has very good early game along with the empowered dragon cards and much board removal / clear. Also a insane late game with Ysera.
You want to play this deck in a control way, were you trade efficiently and try to draw cards with Northshire Cleric along with healing up your minions you traded with. When you face a control match-up you have to try and save Ysera / Sylvanas Windrunner to the best opportunities were they don't die to a simple execute or hex for example. An unkillable Ysera will basically win you the game within a few rounds.
For mulligan try and search for Northshire Cleric / Power Word: Shield / Blackwing Technician / Wyrmrest Agent / Twilight Whelp. Even a Twilight Guardian could work if you got some 2-3 drops to back it up. You have a very high chance of drawing a dragon early so you should not worry too much about mulliganing away all of em in the beginning. Keep in mind to be careful with your Northshire Cleric against Rogues / warriors and only play it with a taunt up or Power Word: Shield in hand.
Please feel free to ask questions about the deck, I just started playing it and am doing really good against all match-ups, and just went down to rank 5 today from 10 in one single streak. Going for legend the coming days.
- Possible subs for some of the cards. Nefarian could be traded out for Chromaggus. (Have not tried this myself but responses seems very positive about it). They also bring similar effects to the game, so why not try that out :).
- Chillmaw could be a possible replacement for maybe Sylvanas Windrunner, nothing I personally would switch though.
- Ysera is unfortunately unreplaceable.
- Harrison Jones could potentially be swapped in, since all the shamans / warriors.
My peak was legend rank 80 so I would consider myself as an experienced player and have gone legend multiple times, and this is one of the most fun/best decks I've ever played.
Well obviously you can't play with the dragon priest deck..
Priest is about most control class. Can't build a control deck without dust.
hey man great deck and I've used it as a basis for my own deck, but I added a few changes. If you could give me feedback on if my changes are okay I would highly appreciate it.
First of all I took out both my northshire clerics, mainly because ive been going up against a lot of warrior+shaman matchups and can rarely get good value out of her.
so -2 cleric, -1 holy nova and -1 sylvana,
+1 eviscarated evil, + harrison jones, + 1 forbidden shaping and +1 twilight drake
let me know your thoughts and thanks for your time in advance
last question, do you ever feel in a situation where you dont have dragons to proc the battlecry?
thanks again
its not even good at rank 15 for me in eu, from where (i mean what rank) did you start to play this deck ?
I play a deck similar to this on my FTP account and it works great at rank 15 but of course never play a deck exactly as it is and think u will hit legend with it. Every deck needs to be understood and fine tuned for ladder playing. My advice is practice, don't play fast/aggressive but the opposite...reactive/conservative. And as always, think of your health as a resource, don't worry about getting hit until u get near a OTK zone depending on opponents.
thanks for your great reply :)
I did some changes, and I'm rank 7 now, so lets say legend in NA haha ^^
WHY DOESNT THIS DECK HAVE A HIGHTER RATING? Its absolutely insane in this meta. And absolutely crushes every deck ive went against. 18-1 so far and climbed from rank 14-7 in half a day.
I subbed out nefarian for chromaggus. Its hilarious to grab a totem shammys mana tide then next turn drop chromaggus for an immediate duplicate.
By far the funnest dragon priest ive played in a while
how come you didn't include Chillmaw?
eh, you're probably right. i don't have him crafted atm but if i craft him i'll definetily try him out.
Nice deck. A little slow and may have problems with Totem Shammy, but mid to late game is so good for this deck. subbed Chromaggus for Nefarian. Just feels better IMO.
Cheers!
What is your opinion on Deathwing, Dragonlord? Ive seen it in other decks but it seems like a hit or miss card?
I kinda miss 2 legendary's and that are sylvanas and neferian but i can craft 1 of the 2 can i replace the other for anything ? '' my lil sis disenchanted pretty much all my cards back in the day that were rewarded from story ''
Thanks!
I don't have the Cabals, but I have everything else! I think I'll use an Excavated Evil and maybe a Twilight Drake?
Cabal Shadow Priest is a really good card for switching the tempo of a game. You should craft it if you can.
I've been looking for a good dragon priest deck! Hopefully this fulfills my desires. I will update with record soon.
Very strong deck!!! :D
Good looking deck man.
Any thoughts on putting Justicar Trueheart in this deck? At first glance I'm not sure what it could swap in with, but the upgraded hero power to 4 heal really has some value in priest control in my opinion.
