Hearthpwn

Introdution:

I have not seen any kind of heavy control deck on front page for a while, so i decided to share my deck and my playstyle of it. This deck is just my variation of control deck. I was struggling with all kinds of priest decks. Now i finally feel like i am rewarded for every right decision i make and every game (besides really, really, really bad draw) is winnable. 

Anyway, this deck is really hard to understand and play. Every decision you make can decide whether you lose or win the game. You have to think 3-4 turns ahead atleast, however priest has some insane value in late game, but you have survive to this point and that what this guide is about.

 

Point and strength of this deck:

- Versus aggro: You just delete their board in early game while sustaining yours. Then you just heal up with Priest of the Feast. You have enough removals with Shadow Visions to survive to the breaking point, where your opponent is only delaying inevitable.

- Versus control: You just cycle, making or clearing board until you find Medivh, the Guardian, combo wombo with Lyra the Sunshard or finding Un'Goro Pack with Shadow Visions and then outvalue your opponent.

 

Card choices

Binding Heal - This card saved my ass many times. You can use it to heal your big minion. WIth Priest of the Feast it's just great combo to heal yourself. And of course another piece to Lyra combo.

Northshire Cleric - 1/3 one drop. Use it against aggro for tempo or for card draws. Just great card and easy choice, I will tell more about it in Mulligan

Potion of Madness - Aggro destroyer. Also usefull against taunt warrior etc. You can steal enemy's deathrattle minion. Insane board control switcher combined with Radiant Elemental

Power Word: Shield - 1 mana +2 healt and cycle? I don't need to comment this anymore

Radiant Elemental - Tempo card vs aggro, wombo combo with Lyra. 

Shadow Visions - Insane card, this card gives you so much flexibility. Versus aggro, it gives you board clear. Aggainst control another Free From Amber...

Shadow Word: Pain please...

Curious Glimmerroot - I liked idea of this since i saw this card. This card don't only give you card from your's opponent's deck. It gives you information about what kind o deck he is playing and what cards he doesn't have.

Kabal Talonpriest - Even when you dont use battlecry effect, it is still nice tempo card with 3/4 body. Also usefull to sustain board control and keep your minions alive.

Shadow Word: Death - please...

Priest of the Feast - Ass savior. Win condition card in many cases. Opponent will mostly burn important removal to get rid of this.

Holy Nova - Another removal against aggro, works great with cleric.

Kabal Songstealer - Usefull af. Buffed or deathrattle minion? Say goodbye plus nice 5/5 body.

Lyra the Sunshard - Miracle card, love it. Combine with Radiant for some insane value. Sometimes you can only spell or two and pray to rng god but man, rng god love this card too. Do not save spells against aggro. Sometimes is just better to not wait for perfect hand, but try to go all in.

Kabal Shadow Priest - This card is here for incredible value. Most of the time you steal basically one card from your opponent and he needs to use 2 cards to remove it, get it?

Dragonfire Potion - removal...

Free From Amber - combo with Medivh, Used alone is still brutal most of the time anyway.

Gluttonous Ooze - it's here against warriors, paladins and shamans. You can replace with it with low level ooze.

Tar Creeper - Against aggro, this will give you time to draw answers.

Elise the Trailblazer - 5/5 body, additional resources. Combine it with Shadow visions for some value, win condition in long-term games

Medivh, the Guardian - just insane combined with Free From Amber, 

 

 Basic mulligan:

- Aggro: - Northshire Cleric - only on first turn or with Power Word: Shield on coin

               - Radiant Elemental (you can keep coin if you got this)

               - Potion of madness

               - Shadow Word: Pain

- Control - Northsire Cleric (same as above)  

                 - Radiant Elemental

                 - Curious Glimmerroot

                 - Kabal Talonpriest

 

Mulligan is really different for every class, so i will write it later.

Ps: Sorry for my grammar.
