Ysera for sure. It fits in almost every Priest deck. Needless to say that it's awesome, if you pull out in the right moment (when your opponent is run out of removal), you win.
Sylvanas Windrunner is also great. You can stabilize the board with just throw it, but I'm disappointment with her because in this meta every single opponent has an answer. However, go for her when you can.
Damn some really good points. I have Ysera and Sylv but was thinking Paletress next.. but now reconsidering. Justicar is strong but I wasn't really thinking of him. Maybe Vol'jin since I could also use him in an aggro-style Priest for good value removal with my Smites. Didn't even think of Nexus Champ at all though... damn what do I do!
This is the deck I've been running in its most recent form. I may sub out one of the Shadow Madness for another Shredder but honestly that card is a lot better than people give it credit with Shrinkmeister support. For example, Sylvanas Windrunner to a 3/5 smashing into their now sole threat and I basically 3-for-1 them.
It doesn't feel particularly weak to anything or particularly strong versus everything and it requires a bit of thought to pilot but it's a lot of fun.
Balancing busted cards version 1.0.
Thanks for the input everyone! I was leaning towards Sylvanas before posting this poll, but I'm definitely swaying more on the Ysera side now.
Sylvanas. Neutral, can Combo with light bomb sometimes, and you can death it to have a mini mind control on your deck. I have Ysera and it only really works in Dragon decks at the moment. If you're just running control priest, go for sylv.
Shaku, the Collector gave me the Plague
Sylvanas, for sure. Ysera is better in Dragon Priest, but control? Sylvanas all day. ALL DAY. Sylvanas is MUCH better then Ysera. She's even better then Ragnaros. Ysera is killed by some removal or simply ignored by druids since it doesn't have taunt, Sylvanas forces your opponent to do terrible trades.
Just Sylvanas and kill.
In Rexxar we trust
at the person over me: Ragnaros solo wins freeze mage match-ups... and they are getting a bit more popular these days -> he isn't complete useless ;)
on the topic: i pretty much agree with the general input here: for your deck: ysera would be best, but i would still craft sylvanas first.
For healer priest definitely Ysera and Sylvanas, for dragon priest Ysera. Unfortunately Priest class legends are not good enough and don't have consistency or game changing moments.
The jury is still out on whether they are good enough or not (I believe they are, if used properly), but regarding consistency or game changing moments, I don't think they lack them at all: Vol'jin will always help with the removal of something midrange-y or even big and Velen will always provide some very life-threatening combos. Both of them can be consistent and game changing - you just have to be patient for the right time and plan it ahead, like other minions that require perfect timing.
As far as Sylvanas, as I wrote earlier in my experience nowadays she doesn't do much and is usually successfully ignored. Sacrificing her with a Shadow Word Death may be an option, but sometimes it feels like you're wasting it on her instead of a later threat that may come. I am usually looking for alternatives in her mana spot in many decks - and I thought I'd never say that!
I wouldn't go as far as saying you'll regret it, and there are a lot of ways to make her work. She also works behind the scenes sometimes, like Loatheb. Or a silence might be wasted on her, or the opponent might be forced to play nothing before killing her (thus giving you tempo advantage), and they may be forced to do that if you taunt her up etc etc.
For me, crafting her was always a top priority because I kept seeing her in so many decks I wanted to try, and I wanted to have my own view on how well she works. I think you'll never find out for yourself if you don't use her for a while (not in the occasional arena or via random minion generation). It's amazing how our views change with experience, and my own certainly have regarding many legendaries before and after owning them.
Ysera is by far the most impactful and best wincon in the game for control players. It's not as versatile as Sylvanas Windrunner though.
Well Met!
I'd say Sylvanas, not only playable in control decks, you can out her in midrange too
Ysera. A great win condition and more versatile than CP or Vol`Jin. The latter, imho, is a good addition but with far less impact compared to the other three. Sylvanas, obviously, is an excellent legendary, but in control priest I would clearly favor the dragon.
