Went 8-3 in the Brawl with this deck after starting off 0-2.

Only change was: +1 Tar Creeper, -1 Gilded Gargoyle

Didn't even notice until recently Alextrasza wasn't in the deck. She's definitely a staple of Mind Blast decks, but I can see that the focus of this deck was on Lyra the Sunshard. Spells are fun, SO fun!

I love drawing my entire deck with priest! Especially if you can go ham with Lyra the Sunshard. Might try it and see what, if anything, needs to be changed. For example, if Velen double Mind Blast doesn't work, you may want Elise the Trailblazer to both distance yourself from fatigue and to refill your hand enough to finish them off with your hero power

In order to win against all my bad matchups a bit more, I am currently experimenting with the inclusion of Prophet Velen and Gilded Gargoyle in order to have the potential to do a 40 damage one-turn combo with Velen + 2x Radiant Elemental + 4x Mind Blast (2x from Shadow Visions), which works when you have an additional coin, which is obtained by the Gargoyle. I was not exactly sure what I wanted to take out though, but decided to go with -1 Sandbinder and -1 Tar Creeper, although I think about including the Tar Creeper back again, because it is just so good - again the question though: For what?

I went with 2x Pipers over one Sandbinder and one Piper, because you do not want to draw your Radiant Elementals or Lyra too early. Getting Tar Creeper is neat in early-mid game, but I opted for the more consistent draw which Piper offers. Every classic Priest player knows the struggle when you have one combo piece but not the other - in this case for example a Circle of Healing, but you are lacking Northshire Cleric or Wild Pyromancer to combine it with. Piper especially gives you Cleric, which helps you cycle through your deck way quicker.

As for the results and things to keep in mind:

- Shudderwock and Kingsbane Rogue can be beaten way better now, Taunt Warrior is also winnable now (but still not a favourable matchup), Taunt Druid still is not really beatable unless your Lyra seriously gets going...
- Velen offers you another threat, which is obviously no bad thing
- The biggest problem is that you will eventually overdraw, especially if you overcommit with 2x Acolytes and 2x Clerics against Priests (don't ever do that), because you might burn important cards
- you, obviously, are not always able to copy Mind Blasts
- Gilded Gargoyle is a card I would really like to take out, but it is sadly needed for a niche use - I mean, it is super slow, has terrible stats, the coin is mostly useless, unless you are in need to use it with Pyromancer/Lyra or really late with Velen...also, it fills your hand even more, which can be bad...AND moreover, you can't really "search" it out when you need it
- the draw got a tad little worse, because of less tutor cards, but that has not been too big of an issue
- I haven't faced Baku Hunters since the change, but I suppose they should be harder to beat now without the 2nd Tar Creeper
- Speaking of Tar Creeper: Statistically, it is a really good card and this also matches my gut feeling. The card ensures win rates over 70% according to HSreplay, if you have it in your mulligan. I also have the feeling I win every game, where he can protect me at the start

Let me quote what I wrote recently about Cubelock, that means Dark Pact and - because it really fits - Possessed Lackey:

Possessed Lackey should have got "If it's your turn" OR "If it's your opponent's turn" added to its already existing effect. With the first change variant, playing him on turn 5 is basically rendered moot making him slower and with the second variant, any synergy with Dark Pact is gone and you are basically forced to give him tauntor buffs.

If that does not prove to be enough, I would also make Dark Pact kill a random friendly minion.

As you see, I would not touch Dark Pact before looking at Lackey...

 

 warlock control tools are fine, this is the first time we can play a deck other than CW that doens'  instantly die to aggro-spam face bumrush and has enough clear potential, the problem with this game will always be charge, nerf charge and we get the best of both worlds, aggro decks keep existing but we keep having control decks that keep them in check tha tdon't suddenly morph into facebumrush decks themselves.

Haven't lost to one since playing the deck in my description - frankly, it is loaded with small AoE...

Still doesn't change the fact that it is way stronger than pretty much anything else.

And that it reminds me of these glorious days, where everyone and their mother ran Secret Paladin, while I came along with an effective Token Paladin deck including Justicar. That upgraded Hero Power is just so sweet...

Need more matches with the deck to include more decks and make more accurate statements. Still, I farmed 5 ranks with this deck now (albeit on low ranks).

Hello guys,

I want to present this refreshing variant of a Combo Priest deck to you! It is not just fun to play, but also very good against currently popular Odd and Even Paladin! For more information, check the the deck page out. I would appreciate your opinions and comments!

Yeah, this happens all the time it does happen.

That means never. 

They would rather give out less legendaries instead.

Were you sane while making this deck or just flat out nuts? - Yes.
