I made this deck after messing around with Galakron Priest, I ended up deciding the Galakron elements weren't necessary and ended up replacing them with a Albatross combo. I've been beating every deck I come across except hand buff rogue. (Since they can buff the albatrosses). You have enough control from spells to get rid of any board your opponent puts up, and then constantly spamming the albatrosses using 'Grave Rune' and 'Pychopomp', you know you will be getting better draws than your opponent on average. If you don't draw the Albatrosses, you still have insane control with the spells and taunt minions, and you can always use 'Grave Rune' on the 'Khartut Defenders' to heal back to full HP from pretty much any amount. They also prevent a lot of 1 turn kills due to having Taunt and sticking to the board like glue. I've had multiple people close the client while vsing me in the last few matches, so if you want to mess with meta-decks and make your opponents rage quit, this is the deck for you. It's also really cheap to make!
Well sometimes the games go past fatigue, so having Galakron to infinitely generate priest minions allows you to keep pressure on the board. That is why I have him in there, the 2 Time Rips aren't necessary though, so I wouldn't judge you for replacing them.
How you actually could do quest with this deck? Just healing tauren + hero power? Not many ways to heal.
That's the interesting part of the albatross package. You can play this as more of a tempo deck rather than desperately trying to complete the quest. Most players will see your quest and not attack you anyway stopping you from being able to complete it until the late game.
This deck is a great template for a midrange priest. I just don't think Galakrond offers enough of a benefit over the quest. My personal preference I suppose.
If you add a spirit of the dead and play it at the right time you won't go into fatigue.
I really do like this deck. I replaced the 2 Plague of Death cards with 2 Spirit of the Dead cards, and that seems to be working a bit better for me. I don't play them until my board is pretty full of taunt cards though, so it doesn't mess up my re-summon items.
really fun to play. :)
i dont really understand the two power word: shield in there?
also i have problems to get enough damage on the board
The Power words aren't necessary at all, you can easily replace them with whatever you'd like, i'd be careful adding minions though, you don't want to mess up the res pool with shitty early minions.
Also, that is why it is control and not aggro, you should try to focus more on controlling the board and filling their deck with albatrosses. Most matches with this deck take a while to complete. Your win condition is using galakron's minion generation to spamm the board while they draw 1/1's.
Wasnt this togg+nozdormu+purifier deck? Seems like a modified budget rez deck.
I don't know for sure, I only make my own decks I don't look others up. It could be similar!
Hmmm i need 30 days collecting 100 golds for day for get zylyax...
I don't know what you want me to say, I never said everybody would be able to build the deck to completion, but if you have the resources it's fun to play.
3 Games, 3 times, "your opponent left"
Trying to get Rank 4 with this Deck today, and if i don't get it, at least i've a lot of fun!
I'm glad you're enjoying it! <3
Reemplacement for Ziliax?
Zilliax is a "must have",not only in this deck, in general. If you don't have enough dust add an Taunt Minion oir 2nd Mass Resurrection
Considering Ziliax is the only legendary, just focus on crafting it. It's pretty necessary in my opinion.
