Heyo friends! I want to share the deck that I used for regaining top 100 legend on the ladder. If you are a fan of priest I'm sure you will enjoy it!
There are videos of the climb with the deck on my stream, so check them out there if you're interested and drop a follow, I'm constantly making new awesome decks there who are both fun and competitive at the same time twitch.tv/urkoth
The idea was to improve some match-ups that silence priest was struggling with. By combining the dragon package with inner fire/divine spirit combo, we drastically improve many match-ups, especially the paladin and taunt warrior ones.
Mulligans/Playstyle/Thoughts
Mage - Favored match-up. Both dragon and silence priest are fine against them. In this form, it's almost impossible to lose against any type of mage. Use the divine spirit/inner fire combo to deal large amounts of damage to them and Drakonid Operatives to get their good cards, ice block is a priority! Keep Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper, Drakonid Operative.
Shaman - Favored match-up. I've had success against any form of shaman, though we will mostly see the token/evolve version of it. Try to contest the board during the early phase. If you fail at it, you can make a comeback with the Dragonfire Potion and Drakonid Operatives. Keep Potion of Madness, Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper.
Aggro Druid - Favored match-up. We are in a good spot unless they innervate things that we can't contest enough and it starts to snowball. DON'T be greedy with innerfires and divine spirits, use them mostly to make good trades. Keep Potion of Madness, Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper.
Pirate warrior - Unfavored match-up? I only faced a few of them somehow but the games were usually tough. Keep Potions of Madness, Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper.
Jade Druid - Favored match-up. Just... Enjoy your victories. They have no way of removing our big minions so make your goal to create those! Keep Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper.
Taunt warrior - Favored match-up. Dragon priest would fail when they get to their "Rag Form", Silence Priest would get their stuff removed most of the time. Our goal is to overwhelm them with Drakonid Operatives and just SMASH them in the end with divine spirit/inner fire. Try to play around brawls! Keep Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper, Drakonid Operatives.
Quest Rogue - Even match-up. Get tempo early on, try to make a big board, early big minions are good so try to make big Radiant elementals/clerics/tar creepers if you are able to. Keep Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper.
Miracle Rogue - Unfavored/Even match-up? Faced a few of those, games were tough most of the time. Try to apply pressure on them and buff multiple minions instead of only one because of their single-target removal. Keep Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper, Drakonid Operative.
Paladin - Favored. Dragon package shines against paladins, so use it to "bully" them. Lyra can often shine in this match-up as well. Apply pressure against the control paladin variations, have more minions than them because of Tarim and play around Getaway Kodo from Hydrologists. Against the aggro variation, try to contest the board early, inner fires can be often used to clear the priority targets such as the Murloc Warleaders. Keep Potion of Madness, Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper.
Priest - Even. It's silence priest most of the time and the games often revolve around who gets the better board early. Inner fires are also often used for good trades and for getting a spell from Lyra. Keep Northshire Clerics, pw: shields, Radiant Elementals, Kabal Talon Priest, Tar Creeper, sometimes it's fine to keep a Twilight Drake and a Drakonid Operative.
I haven't faced any hunters or warlocks during the climb.
Thank you for reading, feel free to leave questions/thoughts and suggestions. I wish you a good climb with lots of fun, like the one that I had, if you decide to try the deck!
EDIT: I accidentally placed sw: death instead of twilight drakes here, fixed it!
Cool deck m8 I replaced 1 primordial drake with a ysera , a shadow visions with kabal courier, lyra with songstealer and so far it has been gr8 for me got to rank 6 from 10 with a decent winrate.
Good work, Bullseye!
Great work, k0pele!
We have to be more proactive, reactiveness doesn't really work that well in this meta, MextroHS.
Got Rank 15 with my C´thun Priest, but now i loose nearly every match.
So i decided to craft this Deck here.
Had enough Dust to craft all Cards, except " Netherspite Historian " and " Book Wyrm " becaus they canot be crafted :-(
Are they any replacement to them?
I am a totaly f2p gamer and dont want to buy and bother with the solo Adventure.
Thx very much!
Netherspite Historians are a must in dragon decks in my opinion, Mordog.
i went for Kharazan and got both cards now :-)
I need much more expirince, even with exactly this Deck i keep loosing 3/4 matches....
Thats totaly the fault of lacking gaming expirience!
Haven't played it for some time and I'm playing it on stream now, will try to push with it to top legend so check it out if you want to learn a bit about the deck strategy there twitch.tv/urkoth
i am follow you on twitch now!
looking forward to see some games with that deck.
Great deck. 21-7 so far.
Great job, aivdov!
I dont have Lyra the Sunshard so I just replaced her with Elise the Trailblazer . and I need to say even with Elise and not having Lyra isn't that big of a deal. If you are lucky u will get her from an UN GORO pack.
Yes, it is harder to win without Lyra but Elise does her job. If u dont have lyra, give Elise a try. It works
Glad she's working for you, flic. Craft Lyra at some point, she's very fun to play!
Really looking forward to playing this deck once i can craft Lyra
So I was able to craft Lyra and test out this sweet deck. I'm new to Priest and have definitely caught myself making misplays with the deck. However after having a little over a 50% win rate with ~35 games played with this list at ranks 17-12, I ended up making some changes that i will list below and am so far 5-0 in complete blowouts against PW, Secret Mage x2, Midrange Hunter and Aggro Druid.
-1 Inner Fire,-1Kabal Talonpriest,-1Tar Creeper,-1Book Wyrm
I took out 1 Inner Fire because outside of enabling a OTK, I rarely had opportunities where I felt like using it to trade left me in a good spot.
Kabal Talonpriest is awesome for buffing up the 1-3 drops but I cut 1 because I often had turn 3's where i had no other creatures on board and played it without getting it's battlecry off to not fall behind too far on board.
I was either cutting my second Divine Spirit or second Tar Creeper, opted with cutting the Creeper but this may be wrong.
Book Wyrm was cut to add guaranteed spot removal and the -1 on the dragon synergy doesn't feel too detrimental.
+2Shadow Word: Pain,+1Shadow Word: Death,+1Priest of the Feast
I noticed not having any spot removal against certain decks just completely snow balled the game out of control, for example cards like Scavenging Hyena, Questing Adventurer just out right beat me down with no answer. I'm not ruling out that my misplays caused such snowballing cards to get out of control but I personally like the addition of the spot removal.
I've also lost a couple games to Warrior or Mage's reach after stabilizing which is my reasoning for wanted to add in Priest of the Feast. Let me know what you think! Having a lot of fun with Priest so far
I'm cool with you having fun experimenting Lawrence, I don't like shadow words in an inner fire/divine spirit deck, you went for a more controlish approach which works against some things, double if/ds combo works against mages and I like smacking them in the face with my big minions, it's the most effective thing against them.
Guys i would like some opinions on this deck is it worth crafting lyra for it ? Thanks in advance!
Most control priest decks use Lyra in the current meta. If you have enough of the other cards, for this (and other priest control decks) I would suggest you craft lyra. Just consider the fact that it costs a lot of dust and that there are many other good decks.
Like a boss, ESC_Shark! Keep up the good work!
isn't Ysera good for this deck ?
