Hello, Hearthpwn, I'm mertvets, сasual player from Russia.
This deck I used to reach legend this season.Build is very strong against "kings" of this meta - jade/face shamans, jade druids, pirate warriors, water rogues.
If this deck get 10 upvotes, I'll write full guide
Guys, thanks a lot for front page!
BTW, sorry for my English, if i have mistakes, correct me, please.
So, first of all muilligan.
Mulligan is similar against all decks, try to found out early drops like Twilight Whelp , Wyrmrest Agent , Northshire Cleric , Acidic Swamp Ooze if you are playing against Rogue, Paladin and Warrior.If you have coin, you can also keep Twilight Guardian.Against Rogue and Warrior always keep Potion of Madness and Shadow Word Pain
Mathcups:
Druid - 50/50, If you pressure in early game, you will win.
Water Rogue - 70/30, just play on curve and keep Dragonfire Potion for Finja, the Flying Star
Pirate Warrior - 80/20, one of the easiest matchups
MidJade/Face Shaman - 60/40, fight for the board and you will win.
Reno Warlock - 40/60 one of the worst matcups, but if you find Shadow Word Pain and realize Brann Bronzebeard and Drakonid Operative combo , you will win
Zoo Warlock - 60/40, you will win if you find AOE
Priest - 50/50, this mathup only abot luck
It was my first guide, so, feel free to correct me:T
Good luck in ladder!
Update by 25.03 - added second Shadow Word Death instead of Azure Drake
Okay, I've been working with this deck a lot in wild post-Un'Goro. It's a great deck but I've been thinking that some of the new cards should find a spot in the deck. The first immediate change was I exchanged the swamp ooze for a gluttonous ooze. It's just a better card because of the life gain. After reading the comments people had left, I went and switched the second SWD for an Azure Drake. I'd love to find a place for a couple of Velen's Chosen because that card is so great for tempo and this is a tempo deck. I as well will probably cut Brann Bronzebeard for a Tar Creeper. In wild it's probably 70% pirate warrior, and it's so beautiful to curve out the Wyrmrest Agent into Tar Creeper into Twilight Guardian. There aren't that many quest rogues in wild, because there aren't that many cards to make the deck better in the wild format. That being said, the only aggro decks you need to worry about are pirate warrior and egg druid. I don't know if this is happening in standard, but for the past couple of days I have ran into a crap ton of murloc druids. Very weird. Anyway, you don't need to worry about quest rogues when playing this deck, so Tar Creeper away.
UPDATE: So I removed Brann Bronzebeard and replaced him with one Tar Creeper. I took out the Holy Nova for a second Dragonfire Potion. I removed the Defender of Argus for a Primordial Drake. Hopefully this can be a bit better. Currently rank 9 in wild. 6/19/2017
its a bit of shame it was bumped into the new expansion search engine but no new changes was made :( hopefully creator can update and continue this deck cause in its time it was good im sure it can still be good :D
Since this deck is already wild, wouldn't there be any good wild cards to put in?
Hey guys!
So I tried this deck as well and made video of it. I gotta say that I really miss the second shadow word death and imo sometimes it can be really critical. I was kinda unlucky so I did not really good with it, sadly.
First match I am versus jade druid where you can see how you should approach such matchup. I am trying explaining key things here about this particular matchup so that could be good for newer players that might struggle with this. I guess he did not have a dream start but anyway this is how you should play it.
Second part of the video is „rng shenanigans“ . As I said before, I was not quite lucky... I mean at all. Check it out it is kinda funny! :D (7:03 starts)

Thank you and I hope you can enjoy it
Which set are Mathcups from? Fast Times at Relative High? I think I need to craft those, comrade.
Ysera for dragon synergy and card generator in control. This card in tight matchups can decide of the outcome.
Yesterday, first time Legend with Priest.
Thanks for the deck ;)
To update, I ended up making legend for the first time ever with the one SWD version. Thank you, MerkVet!!!
worked gooderino
I have tried many different builds for Dragon Priest. Of them all, this one has worked the best. I am now rank one with three stars, and I started in rank four. Thank you very much for your aid
Really enjoying your deck, climbed to rank 6 with it for 14 :)
Only deck i am having trouble vs is the Reno Lock.
If you could give some assistance on how to play vs this deck please. Their late game is so strong is it scary, and it fells like they have enough early game removal and 4 Attack minions to always get to the late game.
Не знаю как ты взял с ней легенду. Если только дикий фарт, а так частые незаходы.. BibleThump
rank 10-6 with no losses. Rank 6 to 5 with 3 losses. Very effective deck. Big minion Druids and some sneaky Shamans gave me trouble. All about opening hand and Dragon synergy. Crafted 2 Operatives and 1 dragon fire to make this deck work. Put in 2 oozes and they payed off.
I like dragon priests, but I never get good luck with them :(
Perfect deck for stomping those annoying pirate warriors. I got stuck at r3 with jade druid this season..50% of games vs warrior so switched to priest..
My list was identical except 2 northshire no ragnaros...68% win rate from 3-legend. 10-3 vs warrior.
I like to skip the Dragonfire Potion just to watch people play around it.
Also I don't have the card...
It's really good for the Jade matchup so...
Holy shit I can't wait for dragons to rotate out....
Dragon priest still strong I see XD ! Always love consistency !
fine
