Hello guys my name is Twosixone (TwosixoneHS on twitch), and this is my variation on a very annoying deck to face.
It is a Galakrond,Kel'thuzad, and a thief priest deck.
Try it out and let me know - Its very fun i promise.
10 Likes = mulligans & small guide.
20 Likes = full guide.
-MULLIGAN-
Against aggro decks go for Holy Nova Shadow Word: Pain Shadow Word: Death Sethekk Veilweaver and Disciple of Galakrond
If you dont know what you are facing, or facing a more control deck go for basically all Galakrond cards, we want to get him rolling asap.
-SMALL GUIDE-
Idea behind this deck is to get our Galakrond going asap for infinite value basically, and until we get Galakrond we need to create value with Sethekk Veilweaver and control the board with our spells and small minions, and destroy and steal our opponents key things with Headmaster Kel'Thuzad in combination with our removal spells.
UPDATE AGAINST AGGRO!
These are my changes to the deck when facing alot of aggro, i think these changes would help and still maintain the identity of the deck.
-2 Shadow Word: Pain +2 Penance mana stays the same and basically the function as well but with a small amount of lifesteal.
-2 Power Infusion +2 Cabal Acolyte again same mana but it gives us a bit more protection against early aggro + we have som cheap stuff we can activate the spellburst with.
-1 Mind Control +1 Madame Lazul here we go for something alot cheaper, playable on curve and we also thief one of his cards.
One thing to remember is that, most of the cards in this deck you can play on curve, for example Archmage Vargoth and Keymaster Alabaster if you dont have anything else to play just curve them out. You dont need them to stick several turns or wait for the perfect moment to get value just play it!
These are the changes i feel good with, please let me know what you guys think!
Thanks alot man! im really happy you like it :D
I am liking the direction of the deck but it is definitely getting shredded against aggro. I'm wondering if Sphere of Sapience would work in a deck like this where you have no draw and finding a response to aggro is crucial. I'm going to try and insert that along with removing both Power Infusion in favor of Penance...I just don't feel like the +2/+6 buff does much of anything; it's not enough attack to make a difference and in a world where everyone hits face, the extra health to a minion is irrelevant.
After playing some more, I like the concept of having Sphere in the deck. It provides you with some extra options and survivability; however, I still don't have a win against an aggro deck. Everything is so weapon heavy that board clears don't even matter. I think you have to cut Keymaster Alabaster in favor of a Kobold Stickyfinger or an Ooze. Keymaster is a fun card but you really have to pick your spots with him and when you're constantly fighting to just stay alive that time never comes.
Edit 2: After playing a bit more I can report that success against aggro decks is still a bit iffy unless you mulligan and draw really well in the early game. There are still too many games where you are left getting your face beat in because your hand is nothing but expensive cards.
The deck can perform really well against control which is to be expected with your infinite value generation from Gala.
Against ramp druids....the concede button seems to be the best strategy. There are too many big minions to deal with not to mention ones which cannot be targeted by spells and a handful of dragons which aren't susceptible to SWD due to having 4 attack. The deck provides enough value for some early to mid-game defense but once Ysera's portals start rolling in you are screwed.
I generally despise priest but this is a fairly fun deck if you're looking for a break from the standard meta; just don't expect to be too competitive with it.
Hello guys!
I have heard your opinions and i will try to make some changes to the deck when facing alot of aggro decks, but to still keep the identity of the deck.
:D
How do you rationalize adding 2 mind controls in a meta where one turn pushes with wide boards are everywhere?
Edit: AND THERE'S NO PENANCE? NO SOUL MIRROR? dude cmon this deck is trash.
hello!
yes you could replace 1 if you want for soulmirror, but i havnt had the issue that you are describing, so it works good for me :D
Looks interesting, but yeh 2x MC is a bit much I think. I doubt you get to use both in many games. Plus penance is great for early survival, would possibly switch a MC for Soul Mirror, and one pain/infusion for 2x penance. I think this will still get wiped by maly druid combo with omu, and OTK mage if you can't kill him fast enough.
For matches against freeze type mages, I've found being able to silence your own minions is beneficial, but it's a tech card for a single matchup, the silence and duplicate card (forget the name) has been nice to pull from sethekk, or from renew in those niche situations.
Will have a go with the changes. Do you get much value from alabaster? I find he dies as soon as I drop him and he gives me 1 card only.
Not great results at Diamond 5 so far.
0-7:
Shaman: Totem (L), Hunter: quest (L) aggro (L), Druid: omu (L), Paladin: buff (L) buff (L), DH: pen flinger (L).
Just can't keep up versus aggressive decks.
Hi. I apologize for not proper English. Played 6 games with this deck by far. Score is 5-1. Faced 2 druids, 2 priests, 1 mage and 1 DH. Lost to druid because all my cards like galakrond, headmaster, kronx, infiltrator and else were the last 13 cards :) I won Turtle mage, imho, mostly because of Mindrender from invoke. But also I made very strong minion (12/20 stats) and he can't deat with him. I like this deck because it has some really early tempo and a possibility to create really fat minions. In mirrors this deck easy outvalues priests. Games were played in legend. Started from 7807 and ended up with 6526. But imho it is because I didn't faced any aggro decks for real test. So, maybe I will update this information soon and maybe I will inform you with any replacements I would make. But for now I am playing with your version.
hello!
okay that sounds great, i usually use both my MC but like i said if you want soulmirror or anything else you seem fit that is good :D
I faced aggro rogue, soul DH and secret rogue. Aggro rogue is pretty ez matchup. Soul DH was tough for me - bad draw and he got 2 skulls and 2 blade dances in first 10 cards. So he accumulate so much damage and killed me with 18 HP :D I couldn't stick on the board. Secret rogue is really hard for this deck but I made at least 1 critical missplay. IMHO 2 MC is good in mirrors, so I guess it is free for cutting at least 1 from here.
This deck was so much fun to play on my stream! Here are some video highlights!

Hello!
Thanks alot for the shoutout and im very happy you like the deck! i will drop by your streams and leave a follow!
Thanks man! Yeah its a ton of fun! I don't usually play standard but I will try and climb with this deck as far as I can go. Just too fun to piss them off nonstop lol. Yeah come hang out on the stream man! I am on 9:30pm-12:30am MST Monday-Thursday. Would love to see you there!
What are your thoughts on switching out the SW:Pains for two Penance along with removing one of the Power Infusion in favor of something else as carrying two feels a bit too slow
hello!
yeah that can definately help with some of the early on pressure, and yes 2 of them probably is too slow
any replacements for keymaster?
hello!
if you dont have keymaster, i would pick another good legendary, alexstraza or smth of the sort. or maybe reliquary of souls.
This deck is a blast to play! I am gonna showcase this deck tonight on my stream. You mind if I post a video of my gameplay on here?
hey man!
no buy all means do, would be nice to see :D
WoW guys that was fast - ill try and make time a bit later today!
