Will do a write-up after 10 upvotes. Thanks for the upvotes!
Hello all, my name is Muhzzy (Swamp#11753 in-game) and this is my take on the popular Dragon Spiteful Summoner priest deck.
Proof of W/R:
Deck Overview
This is a tempo deck that wants you to play Spiteful Summoner on curve to get that huge tempo swing with a good 8/10 drop minion to control the board. The dragon package helps you gain even more value such as stealing your opponent's cards with [card]Drakonid Operative[/card] or clearing that aggro opponent's board with Duskbreaker.
Card Statistics
Mulligans
Always Keep:
Versus Aggro:
Duskbreaker - can save you in so many situations. Looking for another one with your Netherspite Historian is always a plus.
Versus Control/Mirror:
My Tech Choices
Spellbreaker - because of all those pesky Voidlord's.. but it also can come in handy for other targets, as well. Just choose your target wisely especially if you know what deck your opponent is playing.
Twilight Acolyte - Maybe not so much of a tech card but can definitely catch your opponent by surprise when you steal that giant Edwin VanCleef's attack. This card is also good against other decks that include Spiteful Summoner; stealing their big minion's attack that they just got can be awfully annoying for them..
Optional Tech:
Eater of Secrets is not a bad card to add to the deck if you're running into a lot of Secret Hunters or Secret Tempo Mage decks. You can either swap out a Twilight Drake or even a Tar Creeper.
Important Facts
Something to keep in mind about Grand Archivist is that he casts the spell FROM your deck. Another interesting thing about Archivist is that if you only have Mind Control left in your deck and your opponent has no minions on the board, he will not cast the Mind Control and it will stay in your deck.
Thank you to Dana, Synch and Kadak for creating deck spotlights of the deck so you can see it in action!
I love this deck, thanks!
Running the same list but with a second Shadow Ascendant as I don't have a Twilight Acolyte. Love the deck, 6 games only 1 loss so far. Duskbreaker MVP OPOP!
try to keep a board and face is the place... it's a race with obstacles, the highlander will put a lot of obstacles, you win the race by ending his life points... it's a very balanced match up for me... the thing is who has the right cards to win the game...
the best deck ever i have played so far. if you have time getting legend is a piece of cake.
sick deck ^^ thanks mate
I don´t have the Archivist so I swaped it for a 2nd ascendant, nice earlygame card... wasn´t sure about the impact of that card, but it´s really powerful
Faerie Dragon aswell for early against aggro
How necessary is grand archivist here? I haven't played the deck enough to know, but I have many of the other cards so I'm wondering if I should craft him or not.
Honestly I took him out and put in DK Anduin instead. Far less RNG dependent and better win rates.
Not quite fond of Grand Archivist! He actually removes the spell he's casting from your remaining cards, so he makes spiteful summoner less likely to summon anything if played later on. Furthermore you doesn't get to chose the target for your mind control. And on top of that he obviouslycosts a hefty 9 mana...
I've been playing the deck for quite a bit and, I assume, the purpose of the Faerie Dragon is to 1) up your dragon count for synergy and 2) have some more early action against aggro? It just seems like the most lackluster card in the deck.
could i slide in a shadowreaper anduin
I switched out a Free from Amber for Anduin for several games. I haven't found Anduin to be that useful since the majority of the match ups I faced were highlander and control/cube lock. although it could be useful to have this against the mirror or jade druid if they go to the late game you have to remember that alot of your mobs have 5 attack and you may end up in a situation where you clear your own board and have a hand full of cards that cost too much to get the value out of the hero power imo
If you're swapping anything out for SR Anduin, it should be Archivist.
You can try adding another Faerie Dragon and another Shadow Ascendant :)
13 games, 10 wins. The 3 losses were against AggroRecruitPaladin.
It's fun, super mana curve, always something useful to play each turn, except maybe for Grand Archivist.
Also had a situation when my mulligan gave me the two Mind Controls and a Free From Amber. Got lucky on T4 with a Twilight Drake.
This deck stands no chance against rogue and Druid
Shouldn't Psychic Scream be in this deck? A 7 drop can be good for tempo and psychic scream is an insanely good card
Have definitely thought about it! Especially with all this aggro..! But, yeah may want to take Grand Archivist out.
Grand Archivist in the deck makes that pretty much not a card you want in the deck.
very nice dragon summoner deck, love it
here my most WTF game play in a single game vs mirror match, enjoy :)

I never ever get use of Archivist, feels pointless. What can I replace it with?
