With the rise of Death Rattle hunter and all the counter decks,grinding the ladder has become rather difficult in the meta. This deck is just a fantastic deck. I took it from rank 10- 5 in 2 hrs. The deck has enough of a aggro core that you can easily gain early advantage, and a fair sized mid game, and several end game win conditions that will push you to victory. Now because this is a priest, you can easily drive your opponent crazy.
From IceGirl
This priest deck starts off with what makes the deck so amazing: Cabal Shadow Priest, Shadow Madness, and Sylvanas Windrunner give the deck the ability to steal your opponent’s minions. Normally, such tactics would need a control deck.
In the case of this deck, because of a very aggressive opening that includes Undertaker, Zombie Chow, and Haunted Creeper, its early plays are as fast as any aggro. To play this deck vs. an aggro matchup, you can trade your aggro minions for their aggro minions.
Versus a control deck, use the speed advantage in the early game to damage their life total and then use your control card to prevent a comeback.
Against a midrange or combo-style deck, use your early game for favorable trades and hold onto key cards like Shadow Word: Death, Auchenai Soulpriest, and Circle of Healing as solutions for falling behind on the board to the opponent.
A last word of generic advice: try to not play the card Thoughtsteal on turn 3; it is usually better to play a minion. Thoughtsteal is best played when you have excess mana and no better plays. Also, you can play Thoughtsteal as a way to get information about your opponent’s deck if you are confused in the matchup.
The final thing I want to say is a possible replacement for Sylvanas Windrunner would be The Black Knight.
I'd say Cairne or TBK, but that's just a personal opinion.
Another option flix97 is another shadow madness. the risk with cairne is that it can get hexed before it does it's job doesn't mean its bad just possible to play around. The black knight is always awesome just didn't have room to fit it in this build.
I agree the black knight can always find value in the current meta.
Thanks you! This deck is finally what got me to take out Injured Blademaster from my deathrattle preist. No matter how well he combos with cleric, he is just too slow in this meta.
After a few games, I am happy with changes though not 100% sold on Kel'Thuzad yet. Why Kel over Ysera?
One change, I traded in 1 thoughtsteal for a second circle of healing. I feel that with zoo that if I can get a auchenal/circle clear by turn 5 or 6 I easily win the game.
Good point adam and i am glad you like the deck! <3<3
Yep, did the same change. It's also necessary for games against Miracle Rogue, that Auctioneer is a pain in the ass otherwise.
There's your answer. ;)
Cairne for loatheb, would that make sense?
If that is the best card you have to fill that spot it is viable. Possible problem with cairne is that its a 6 drop and the deck already has quite a few good six drops. You may want to think about what 5 drops you have that you can play.
Possibly. I'm considering replacing a Cabal with him.
Any good replace for KT ? Rivendere ?
Sadly I don't think their is really a "great Replacement for KT its ability to work with the Deathrattles and be good on its own right is too good to simply replace. my suggestion is to save up to unlock his wing and beat him if you haven't already. below is a video on how to beat him
.
Ysera is a good replacement. Or a mind control could probably work.
I am a poor guy xD
ty :D
Cool deck. Sidenote: in the video, her crooked glasses kept distracting me. :)
Sorry hun I was a little too tired and didn't notice thanks for the catch. i will try to use a mirror next time just for you . <3<3
hehe sounds good. it happens to us all. mine are probably crooked as i type this. great work on the deck!
Just created this account to say thanks for posting this deck, the best priest deck i've tried so far, very all rounded and efficient.
I am glad you have had fun with it and may the deck and life treat you well.
