This list took me from rank 3 to top 250 Legend. The gameplan is control with bursting down opponent at the end while controlling the board and chipping away at the opponent with shadowform. It can beat tempo rogue and control warrior if you draw good but warrior a lot of the time has too much armor gain to deal with. If you get northshire down against rogue and control it with wild pyro and scaleworm, you can win.
SIDE NOTE: I tried replacing Prophet Velen with Archmage Vargoth and found better results! He's more flexible and still allows for the 10 damage burst at a cheaper cost!
SIDE SIDE NOTE: Try to replace the 2nd Shadowform for a Zilliax and let me know some good results
Check out Dekkster's video here where he explained how to use the deck and showcased it!
Check out Jeleniowatyy's video with a slightly different list, where he replaced the squashling and holy nova with shadow madness and zilliax which is teched against rogue!
Kiwiinbacon made a video showcasing the deck! Check it out here --
Why? The dragon package is how you win on board at all - w/o it I don't know how you win against a lot of the T1 decks out there
Try out clockwork automaton and blackwald pixie here =)
It seems too slow against tempo rogue and aggro to run them. We can't focus too hard on the hero power in this case^
Greetings traveler! Cool unique idea. I have seen few versions of shadowform priest and i also tried to built one during rastakhan's rumble. I face a lot of tempo rogues lately that's why i teched in Zilliax + Shadow madness . If you would like to see the deck here is the video. Please share your feedback if you like it. Cheers and may the good RNG be with you!
Thanks for checking out the deck! And yeah I thought about zilliax / shadow madness and I found that squashling for stabilization and holy nova for aoe were more helpful in a lot of circumstances, but I see the merit in this list too!
Thanks! Imo it really depends from the matchups. Recently i rarely see zoo warlocks, murloc shamans and token druids (against them holy nova is bonkers). I mostly play against Tempo Rogues and Control Warriors and i struggeled a bit, thats why i came up with idea to at least 'fix' one match-up.
Could you provide a mulligan guide?
Mulligans are essential for this deck to perform, I guess I'd do one if this post got more traction.
That’ll be awesome thanks
4W - 12L at rank 18-20. Looks like a fun deck, but did only encounter mage and token druid.
Dekkster played it on his stream at legend 2000 ish and he went 8-3 - 4-0 with token druid. You have all the tools needed to beat token druid, and it's actually a favorable matchup. Can you send hs replays? You must be going about the deck wrong
Hi, sorry but I cannot figure hsreplays out.Here: https://hsreplay.net/replay/3jfqnavRhaSDPsf3mtkkj8But i'm sure its just me who either cannot play this deck, or maybe i'm just incredible unlucky. Quick question however, why do we run two shadowform, instead of just using one copy with Vargoth? :)
I don’t have Prophet Velen. What is a good replacement? Is Velen crucial? How about Archmage Vargoth?
Vargoth seems cool! I may try him out instead of Velen - He seems more flexible as a card and still delivers a 10 damage mind blast
15 on turn 8 with two mind blasts ;)
why is Prophet Velen there? is he part of what combo? turn 9 velen + mindblast?
He's a lot of the time the final push you need to kill a warrior before they doctor boom or gain too much armor - vargoth could also be used as a more flexible option I suppose
Top 250 and on the photo you are 650?
He was top250 and then lost all the way to 650 with this trash deck.
I fell from top 250 by 1 being passed overnight and 2 trying to make Handlock work ;/ feels pepehands - but yeah I may climb up again w/ the list just to get the screenshot ;-;
