Hello guys. I am part of the Dutch Hearthstone team LowLandLions. I just hit Rank #1 on eu playing with priest all the way! It works really good right now because the majority of ladder consists of hunters. And this deck has at least a 90% win rate against them.
You can find my stream at: Twitch.tv/tylerootd
I will write a more in depth guide once this deck gets more views.
Easy matchups: Hunter,Tempo mage, Zoo, Shaman,
Decent matchups: Paladin, Rogue, Druid
Hard matchups: Handlock, Control warrior, patron warrior
Mulligan guide:
Against most classes you hard mulligan for Zombie Chow and Deathlord, keeping Wild Pyromancer and Northshire Cleric is fine too.
Against druid and warlock it's fine to keep shadow word death too. And against warrior it's fine to keepThoughtsteal because the first few turns are really slow anyway. Harrison Jonesis ALWAYS a keep against all weapon classes.
Pretty bad deck for NA right now. Lost 10 games with it in a row. R8-5. Probably one of the worst priest decks i've tried out of laziness to build my own for the quest.
Deathlords are useless
No beef in this deck, once you lose steam its over.
Pray for Injured Blademaster combo or lose.
Hi, i made a post earlier and talked about cuts and what to put in my name is ryante123 and it was posted recently so easy to find. I agree with you that this deck needed some work and a few changes just from looking at it and if you like you can try making the changes I did. I would love to hear would you have to offer and what you think of my offer.
Agreed. Deck feels overly tuned to beat hunter and super aggro variants (pally/rogue), which isn't nearly as easily as this deck claims because unless you get deathlord, everyone has a pretty good shot of racing you.
You just roll over and die to all the control locks (malygos, handlock, demon). Really don't see how you're favored vs. zoo, you can't race them and again, eventually you get out tempoed. Forget about warrior.
I do not like the Deathlord cards at all. They have cost me more games, than I can keep track of haha. The Deathlord always seem to drop heavy hitting minions, and you are pretty must done after that.
Hit the nail on the head
I think Thoughsteal is the best card to replace for Kezan Mystic.
Don't cut light of naaru becuase it is a great combo card with soulpriest and you still get a 1/2 if you kill the creature.
I played this deck for a little bit and I got from rank 12 to 6 pretty easily then I got stuck around there. any tips?
whats the purpose of thoughtsteal really? I rather just have my own cards for late game against control.
it's a 2 for 1 card and it can get you outs in a lot of scenarios plus you want it vs. control decks to snag their bombs. Also on the off chance you could get a card that you might have to play around and now know they don't have it.
cuts i made were -2 zombie chow -2 deathlord - 2 velen's chosen -1 harrison
I added +1 shrinkmeister +1 shadow word: pain +2 azure drake +1 dr.boom +1 sylvannas +1 voljin
For zombie chow and deathlord I felt that the deck already had so much gear towards aggro and I'm still putting in 1 more removal spell (shadow word: pain). The combo shadow word: pain+ shrinkmeister or shrinmmeister+ shadow priest allows you to take or destroy 4 power guys which can be extremely tough for priest. I also felt that their was not enough creatures early to abuse the full power of velen's chosen. It's gross with zombie chow but playing it on turn 7 or just having it be dead because u don't have any creatures makes it too weak for the deck in my opinion. I also added finishers and did not have Harrison nor did I think the meta was weapon entensive. If I did I play ooze because its cheaper and kills weapons the turn they get out where Harrison is useless against a glavezooka or eaglehorn bow and at best if you have him and are on the play you are able to take only 1 durability off a true silver blade. Azure drake I think is great because if you turn four combo soulpriest + circle you have something to follow up and push through as well as the spell damage and card advantage it gives you v. the hard match ups(control). THe rest of the cards were finishers I had but others such as ragnaros could be just as good.
I would probably swap out the Azure Drakes for Sludge belchers, because otherwise, you'll just get zerged down to death. Also, I would get rid of Vol'jin, and swap him for a Velen's Chosen, since the ladder is flooded with aggro, his health swap makes it pretty garbage as you'll most likely be getting a 5 mana 6/2, 6/3 or even a 6/4 if you're lucky.
You do make some valid points and i do see your reasoning but I feel the choices I made were correct or atleast reasonable. I put in azure drake because he is great vs. other priest decks with 4 power and in any control mirror is a threat that must be dealt with. I also felt that this deck had so much anti aggro in it already that it does not need velen's chosen or sludge belcher. Another reason I thought that those cards should not be in is the fact that the main aggro decks all have ironbeak owl and can just silence your guys to the point where sludge belcher is a useless 3/5 for 5 or velens chosen did absolutely nothing. I could see the benefit of playing sludge belcher and I think if you like you are able to cut a voljin for him or put in a harrison jones for voljin. I put in voljin because I think he is a good finisher for pretty cheap and you are able to go turn 5 voljin turn 6 holy nova and be in a great position.
Sorry I wanted to add that if you feel like you do not like thoughtsteal you are able to switch those out for sludge belchers too. In my personal opinion I think thoughsteal is very strong and I probably keep it in but if you feel that the inconsistency is too frustrating you always have the option to cut it.
does this deck need Ysera? I feel like it needs a finisher.
Playing similar deck on rank 10 eu, swapped both cabals with Vol'jin and Sylvanas, couse i see no point playing then w/o shrinkmeister
Anyways this deck is good, u just have to be lucky with your deathlord drops
So I tried this deck out and it does amazingly against aggro, like if u get deathlord + velens its pretty much over from there. Add on a few clerics and they pretty much just rage quit. As for control its a bit tougher, you need to essentially rush them down before they get their scary guys out. I replaced a thoughtsteal with Dr.Boom and HArrisoon Jones with Sylvanas Windrunner since i didnt have him and could potienally set up some crazy death + slyvanas plays.
For anyone interested I uploaded a video of that gameplay [ignore the missed lethal on druid :'(]
nice bug lightbomb, why do this? and when?
i think u mean at 19:57? Its not really a bug i Velen'd the soulpriest so it actually killed her with the spell damage. I ccould of instead played chow circle which would of killed the 2 taunts + 5 dmg to face cuz of cause atk with priest and ping face to win. mistakes were maaade
any replacement for zombie chow?
