Our last deck to be featured is a Priest Combo build. Containing only a limited number of minions, this deck is built to consistently get great results from Zerek’s Cloning Gallery. With Malygos and Prophet Velen on hand to improve the output of your spells and Radiant Elemental to lower their costs, you may even win on the same turn you cast Zerek’s Cloning Gallery! This deck can struggle early as it builds to 9 mana, but options such as Gilded Gargoyle can help to overcome these challenges while providing The Coin for an extra mana boost.
This deck is pretty savage. I've been having good luck with it so far. Fun to play as well!
I seem to be too dumb for this deck. =\
Can someone explain me the strategies?
Been playing this deck for the past couple days and it's so much fun! I'd love to get a write-up on it as I feel it's got a high learning-curve.
Edit: I played this deck for from rank 7 - 4 yesterday and only lost one game once I reached rank 5, seems to be quite strong right now.
I only managed to play 5 games with this deck just yet so I can't say much on how well it does really.
Won 4 out of 5 games, played at rank 5.
I have made a few adjustments to this deck.
I have taken out both Power Word: Shield for +1 Vivid Nightmare and +1 Obsidian Statue.
Especially Obsidian Statue worked wonders.
I was surprised by how important Gilded Gargoyle was for this deck.
Getting 5 coins in 1 game was happening regularly, which activated Lesser Diamond Spellstone and helped playing combo's extremely well.
Being able to play Zerek's Cloning Gallery + 2x Mind Blast with the extra coins is very fun to do.
edit: played about 40 games now and climbed from rank 5 - 0 stars to rank 3 - 2 stars.
This deck performs incredibly well against most other decks. The only class I have real problems with is hunter. Funny enough I barely encouterd healzoo...
There are 12 stars between 5 rank 0 stars and 3 rank 2 stars. How is you win rate?
So... the only card i miss is the Cloning gallery... is worth crafting then ????
Is this deck playable without thalnos?
You could replace with Tainted Zealot but I would say the +1 spell damage is quite important for pushing over that lethal damage in the Prophet + Maly + Spell damage (+1) + Burn damage card like Mind blast or Smite.
The deathrattle is really handy on Thalnos for cycling to get the Cloning Gallery or burn cards. Otherwise, the divine shield can give Zealot some stickiness.
Bloodmage Thalnos is mostly included to have a stronger early board clear and heal with Spirit Lash.
The extra spell damage for the burst is negligible. And of course the card draw is pretty good as the deck doesn't have too much ways to cycle cards. Anyways Thalnos is the most played neutral legendary, so you should really save up some dust and craft this guy.
I don't think the Tainted Zealot is a good replacement. If you keep the posted list I would replace it with Obsidian Statue as this version plays the Power World: Shield for some card draw.
Any replacements for Lich King? For the most part, I find what he gives to be completely lack-luster. Shadowmourne is usually too expensive, any of the removal cards if you haven't been able to drop a cloning is way to risky..
Obsidian Statue
good idea but 0-5 verse any tempo/aggro deck.
Now that I played this deck for 26 (14-12 from Rank 2 to Rank 1) matches I can at least say a little bit about it.
I think the Gargoyles are really important in this version and you should really not cut one.
They are your always keep in starting hand cards as well.
Currently I dropped one PW Shield for the statue. Asmodai even played without them for quite a bit. Also makes your Shadow Visions more consistant.
I only kept Cloning Gallery in starting hand against Priests, Warriors and Druids so far, but I am far away from claiming that I know how to play this deck perfectly :D
Holy Nova does not really do much against current aggressive decks. Turn 5 is late and 2 dmg doesn't kill enough atm.
I mostly mean Zoo and Odd Rogue which are really rough to beat with this deck. Odd Paladins are actually quite beatable (hard mulligan for lashes).
I like Vivid Nightmare too in this deck. It gives you even more option how to play your game.
And this is a very important mention: Most games are not won by getting the perfect combo. Always think of alternative game plans and most of these include Lyra shenanigans. This is another point why the Gargoyles are so good in this deck.
So far I didn't play enough games, but I am happy to see other people thinking about this deck and enjoying it :)
Have fun and good luck
So I am now at a 55% winrate (35/29) which is quite okay considering the high learning curve.
I am playing - 2PW: Shield, +1 Obsidian Statue and +1 Vivid Nightmare.
This feels better to me. The statue is obviously a good pull against many decks and helps when you have to go for outvalue game plans.
The Vivid Nightmare is very versatile. I won a game where I copied a Zilliax for extra survivabilty against a Zoo, somethimes I just copy a Gilded Gargoyle to get another juicy coin for an earlier Psychic Scream [/card] or of course [card]Zerek's Cloning Gallery and in other games it can just give you lethal when copying your Prophet Velen.
@Togwaggle: I feel like it is a 50-50 matchup, but I think I only played 4 games against it actually. What you want is as many Greater Diamond Spellstone as possible to survive your stuff over and over. This way you can beat them even after playing Togwaggle. Bursting them is usually not working as they gain too much armor.
But before you throw your Shadow Vision away on turn two, make sure you know what deck you playing against!
I was thinking about going -1 Power Word: Pain and +1 Holy Smite as I don't feel is being super effective. And the Holy Smite also removes Turn 1 Flame Imp. And again it improves the chance of finding your Spellstones with Shadow Vision. Also the extra burst might help in getting trough the tons of druid armor.
Would Zerek, Master Cloner fit in this deck?
Bad idea. Power Word: Shield is the only buff to target him. And you dilute your graveyard with Zereks, that don't help your win-condition, when you want Zilliaxes, Lich Kings, Malygoses and Velens in there.
I like it, somewhat feels like playing Big Priest again...and my Golden Spellstones make all ressurected minions golden...sooo shiny.
Weak vs anything that has tempo though, but late game is overwhelming. I added 1 Obsidian Statue though, so much value.
How i can replace Zilliax? I have all cards exept this legendary. :(
The card is very strong in this deck, but Obsidian Statue is a consideration.
Asmodai plays this deck every day since nearly two weeks now and he plays the statue on top of Zilliax.
You could also try a Rotten Applebaum, but of course both option are quite a bit weaker.
Replace for Lyra ?
