I played this deck from D5 to legend.
counters warrior, druid, DH and -if you get good hand- HLhunter
thats like 80% of matchups so ez legend.
pd: I don't have the other priest legendaries so i had to make this deck.
+10 = guide
GUIDE
mulligan and playstyle
*always keep Disciple of Galakrond
- Warrior, Hunter: Acidic Swamp Ooze Shadow Madness Penance.
Try to Shadow Madness the bomber girl and zixor. If, bomber warrior then just use Gala and tap every turn to get 10 cards in hand and burn the bombs when draw.
Use Penance on the freeze girl, hero power face every turn if possible.
When you have Acidic Swamp Ooze in hand and you are getting to turn 5 just heal face and remove something, so he plays naked weapon and then you Ooze him.
Don't play Gala too early just keep healing face, play Gala if: you need the 5 armor, need to remove something big or you are out of resources.
Try to count your opp portals/board fillers and use your aoe removals accordingly.
Druid is easy if he doesn't get 3 Ysera, Unleashed from the "6-mana discover ysera" (yes, it happened to me)
- Warlock: Just play in curve and save all your healing and 1 big removal in case your opp plays naked Alexstrasza
- Mage: Curve then lose by rng. Try to Shadow Madness Astromancer Solarian. Use your removals carefully go for value trades if possible. Use Gala to get more resources.
- Priest: Galakrond, the Unspeakable pack, tap every turn if possible, go for value trades, try to save some heal or a big tempo swing combo to beat late game/fatigue.
Try to steal the Murgur Murgurgle and remove/value trade everything so he can't buff.
- Shaman: Breath of the Infinite, GAL cards. I didn't played against any shaman.
- Rogue: Shadow Word: Death, GAL cards. Try to get ahead on board since rogue doesn't have removal spells. Save Plague of Death for rogues big tempo swings. This is the hardest matchup.
That's it
I'll answer your questions
Since when priest beats rogue haha
Okay, I can see in the chart that it's not good vs rogue, but I've played vs almost all classes now and all it can do is keep you alive until late game, and then you are left to rng. I only have 1 Plague of Death though, so I have to be very careful with it.
I have positive winrate vs rogue but still rogue beats priest, you can use Soul Mirror to replace your -1Plague
Trash
You don't know
Thanks for posting this deck. I have been finding this version of Gala priest quite successful. The only change i made was: -2 maniac, +1 soul mirror, +1 sethekk. What i like most of this deck is 2x ooze, helps priest to not get taken advantage of from aggro or tempo turns. 2 oozes also helps guarantee u get 1 when you need it, since priest has no card draw.
The oozes are okay to play early as well against a non weapon class. I really enjoy 2x plague, cuz right when priest starts to get tempo’d on, u clear board. Then the opponent may think youre empty and overfill board, and then you can clear again later.
This deck feels very in control, and only really loses when key cards are stuck in your deck still. Games for me are typically won from fatigue, once your opponent has played all of their options and all of them got shut down.
Against control, this means fatigue death by card overdraw, and aggro this means fatigue by having no more resources in hand available.
Coin flip deck, no card draw, and gets steamrolled most of the time. I like it but sadly not great for climbing in my opinion.
Hi.
Priest has no card draw, and I got D1 4-stars 2 months ago, and legend day2 this month with only this deck.
I guess I need to get better :) I like it and looks like I need to play more to fully understand it. Thank you :)
Hi there! I like the approach of the Deck. I climbed to Legend two months ago, with a similar version of it with 2x Vulpera and Moag Artificer Main. Somehow that version doesn't work anymore. So I took your build (I don't like the actual standard list of Zananananan because no Plaque and this 3/3 shithead Legendary I don't like!
I tried forth and back with some versions with 2x Thougsteal cutting Devoted and or Ooozes. But i the long run, I don't like Thoughsteal anymore. It's a coinflip if you get something really really useful or just shitty thrash like Ancient Mysteries or other class/deck relevant shit that don't work with your stuff. (Thoughsteal is ok in mirror matchup IMO). Also Madame Lazul is also a coinflip to get something broken or just piece of shit. (Ok the Information of opponents hand is ok, but you already assume certain cards to play around). Also cutting one Ooze for Harrison Jones was also I tried. But he's just to slow where you need oozes (DH and Warrior MU). And a Bad 5-Drop.
On the other hand Soul Mirror and Murkozond Dragon is a thing to consider. Soul Mirror ist too good as the 3rd lifesaver with plague, AND it could get you really useful stuff to your side (Looking at you prime hoshis) AND you can combine superb with Madness to get his stuff (Beefy Defenders).
Murkozond is very good to catch up if you're behind. But sometimes useless because it doesn't copy Battlecry effects. So it does nothing against Highlander Hunter with his ugly Dinosaur Pet. And if you are ahead, it's just an expensive win more card.
So almost no one is playing Devoted Maniac in Galakrond Priest now. But It helps against DH, and is a 4-Cost Mini-Removal with reads "Replaces itself with another maybe better minion.
So my end Version is -1x Devoted Manica +1x Soul Mirror. That caried me to Legend this month. It's really fun. Thanks for the Deck bro. What do you think to this change? @One_
Thank you for your great analysis!
Yes, that would be the only change I will do if I had Soul Mirror
Soul mirror is good but also a bit situational. If the minions have more health than attack they don't die and he can attack or develop next turn. The good thing is that you can add Breath of the Infinite on top if you have it, and that might do the work.
I've just disgraced the quest res priest with this one. The poor one had left the game lol!
This deck destroys warrior. Not sure about the other matches. 2 oozes seems a lot.
Literally can not get 1 win to save my life with this deck, I don't know how lucky you are getting but I'm getting slaughtered every game.
some ppl comment they are winning, you had bad luck or matchups :c
4 for 4 so far! I’ve been wanting to do Gal priest for a while now and this is perfect!
Thank you!
wow glad it worked for you. I got 7 won games in a row at most xd
If you had soul mirror, madam lazul and mind flayer, what would you cut?
soul mirror for plague, madam lazul for devoted maniac imo
mind flayer for 1 holy nova maybe but i wont include that card tbh.
