Hi i am Noidea83 and Priest Main since around 5 Years. I always play my own Decks and in most Times i finished Season in High Legend. I was bored of current Meta and especially the Mirror Matches with Pirate Clown Fiesta. So i wanted to create a Deck without Pirates but it figured out, that it is nearly impossible to win Mirror Match without them. Tried some C-Thun Builds but this kind of Decks are weaker in every other Matchup and often they create around 10 Pirates so the Card advantage is gone. So i build a Deck around Elekk, primarily to beat all the Priests in Higher Legend. And it showed, that this Deck has a very nice Winrate against nearly everything. The only Problem in Mirror Match are, if they stole your Elekk, then it could be a 1h+ Clown Fiesta Game which ends in a draw. xD
If you have Questions or need Help whith it, let my know. I hope everyone can understand my English, it isnt my Main Language.
why do you need Mindrender Illucia ?
I'm always struggling with this card, like I never know when to use it!
Basically, Illucia is important to beat OTK Demon Hunter and do some stuff when your hand is full of high-cost cards or bad spells. Generally, you never want to play Illucia before the end of the game, except when you really can’t do anything.
Against OTK Demon Hunter, you want so badly Illucia at mulligan and you have to play it right after the opponent played Skull of Gul’dan because there are many chances they have drawn Il’Gynoth. If this doesn’t happen, you still can play most of your opponent’s hand.
(Sorry for grammatical horrors)
right! also illuicia can win the game vs. rogue on its own
WoW. much, much appreciated... thank you, I'll run it and see how it goes. Thanks again for the explanation
thank you so much for the deck!
Hey man nice list and congrats for the top 100!
Just a thought, I think Dungar is a little overrated, what do you think about playing one sethekk instead ? give you some extra value in almost every MU and you can always jam her T2 if needed.
ty :) yes might be a good idea. but in some matchups like mage or deathrattle dh dungar is realy good for healing, especially because i dont run the 6/6 healing taunts.
Ya I'm not sure where on ladder you're playing with this deck but it keeps losing against Elemental Shaman.... over and over and over again.
top 100 legend most times. and i have positive winrate vs. shaman. maybe cut yogg for an ooze
is yogg staple? only missing card is yogg.
no he is not necessary
How does this deck beat a resolved Jaraxxus?
Not trying to be a jerk, just not sure how I would have won that match
in higher legend there are no jaraxxus :D
try to shuffle cards like renew and palm reading with your elekks. and hope they didnt play jaraxxus turn 9. then you have a good chance to fatigue the warlock
Is illucia essential?
if you face many otk deamon hunter and rogue then yes
if ou draw her with insight and play her the right time, she is nearly in every matchup strong
I am a priest enthusiast myself and I never got really high in legend though I can't thank you enough for that deck. It's so much fun AND it is competitive. Good job, man.
hey thx allot! i am glad it works for you
Whats the strategy and win condition?
in the most times win condition as priest is to outlast your opponent :D
in aggro matchups try always to keep the board clear and discover as much healing as possible.
in control matchups be greedy an try to discover cards like raise deads and dragon studies. try to shuffle much of this high value cards back in you deck with elekk. in mirror matchup try always to kill elekk immediately so priest cant steal or copy it.
