I was hoping to get some help refining a Lyra Control Priest that I made. It is quite similar to the Standard list, but I have included 2x Deathlord and 2x Velen's Chosen, which seem to make the deck substantially more powerful. This deck is also a TON of fun and crushes aggro decks.
If anyone wants to give opinions on the card choices and replacements, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
i see 3 things i dont like. 1. mass dispell. 2. u run 1 lightbomb 1 dragonfire and you should considder whats usually the best instead of running 1 of each its just inconsistent. 3. u run too many 3drops.
1. I have questioned Mass Dispel myself and have considered replacing it with a Thoughtsteal to improve control matchups. Mass Dispel can be good against token decks and control shaman, but in a lot of matchups it isn't too great for its cost.
2. My thinking behind 1 of each board clear is so I could choose which one I wanted off of Shadow Visions. The problem is Shadow Visions is inconsistent when you run so many spells, so getting offered either of them doesn't always happen. Dragonfire Potion is better most of the time and I have considered cutting Lightbomb for another one.
3. Too many 3-drops isn't an issue because it's a control deck. You don't care much about curve, as long as you have something on board by turn 3. However, if you do get a good curve this deck plays more like a midrange deck.

How do you win against control decks though?
