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.
I hate to be that guy, but you are clearly playing it wrong. If you can't use this as a solid control deck than maybe you are playing control wrong?
Zeetchmen... I think that just means you're an idiot and don't understand how to play the deck. I would stick to face hunter or something easy if you can not figure this one out.
agreed.
nice deck but i feel like you can sub a card for sylvanas to make the deck even better for like stealing a highmane for example. Also When you are facing Control warrior and handlock she will make it easier for you to not get demolished in bored control :D.
What were you're matchups? I'm currently 14-0 with this deck (haven't faced any warrs/handlock yet)
Any swap for Harrison Jones
Acidic Swamp Ooze destroys the weapon but you don't get any card draw of course.
I've been trying this out and haven't faced any control decks yet but I've had no issues beating the warlock zoo's or hunters as this deck is designed to do.
I'm yet to face a tempo mage and shaman.
I've faced Paladin, Rogue and Druid and those were about as easy as the already mentioned (but my samplesize is quite small on these three to make a fair judgement).
I'm yet to face any handlock or warrior deck so can't give you an opinion on those.
But this deck is for sure a really good one and really fun to play too.
I think the deck might need a Ysera and sylvanas just to put the control matchups in line, but what to take out... but ill give it a try in this version as well really curious
If you want to take out something to add something like Dr.Boom, Sylvanas or Ysera I would recommend to remove one of the Thoughtsteals, If you want to remove another card for yet another card I would say one of the Holy Novas.
Thanks for the share :D ! Had a lot of fun with this deck and I found it interesting that I was able to beat a hunter [obviously] but also a paladin and in this video I'll show you! Just crazy how versatile this deck is really nice job! Enjoy the gameplay :3 !
Sorry to hear that :4Head:
You're fine dude, just haters.
but I disapprove of your poster choices :)))
They See Me Rolling, (._.) ( l: ) ( .-. ) ( :l ) (._.) They Hating ! I swear I'm not a Weeaboo :Keepo:
-1 Holy Nova and + Dr. Boom
there's no need for that many AoEs
you will almost never use the second one.
also
i would squeeze in Sylvanas Windrunner instead of maybe Velen's Chosen
This deck is meant to destroy the large amount of Hunters on the ladder. By doing that, you're effectively losing around 10-15% of your winrate vs. Hunters. Yes, it would improve the Control matchups, but that isn't what this deck was made for.
But you only need to clear a couple of times and then the hunter looses his burst. you have Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing combo, Lightbomb and Holy Nova, that's 4 board clears. Not to mention Wild Pyromancer + any spell.
I think that's enough to beat not just Aggro Hunter, but aggro decks in general.
Also you are saying that this was made to counter Aggro Hunter, then why is there 2 Shadow Word: Deaths? Savannah Highmane is in hybrid hunter deck not Aggro. Hybrid is slower and more midrange.
Or you can replace one Lightbomb with Holy Nova (if you take my previous deck changes) because Aggro Hunter's minions have max 2HP
And wow -3 for just discussing the deck. Jesus, kids these days. Think when you post a suggestion you actually sh*t on the deck creator. Oh well...to be honest don't really care about +'s and -'s just sayin' that don't understand why I got -3. Is it because of suggesting Dr. GG/Flamestrike/Balance/OP??
Holy Nova is far better than Lightbomb, yet it is still a very important card in other matchups such as Patron Warrior and Handlock, two of the most popular decks right now, and can also help to clear against Hunter. Shadow Word: Death is just too much value in other matchups to pass off, especially since this deck is already so heavily built for Aggro alone. Priest is all about removal and dealing with their threats, which is what this deck is comprised of. Especially since Priest is also built so heavily on combos such as Circle of Healing with Auchenai Soulpriest or Injured Blademaster, and two of the board clears in this deck (if you leave out one Holy Nova) need the former in a combo, there's a good chance you might not draw one when you need it, especially since you'll likely need two or even three clears to stop Face Hunter's steam (unless you get greedy with one of them, at which point you'll just take too much damage and die).
This decks aims for consistency, and having another Holy Nova really makes the deck so much more consistent against them. It's like running one Wild Growth in Ramp Druid or one Mechwarper in a Mech deck. It makes the deck so much more consistent in getting the play you want when you need it. And before you go say that those cards centralize their decks, Holy Nova really is one of the centralizing cards here in beating Face Hunter. It clears practically their entire board while healing you in the process.
"I think"? I think you haven't tried it.
Is there any replacement for death lord and zombie chow?
Nice deck, it works pretty well, even against against Druid and Paladin for me.
90% win rate against Hunters is kinda over exaggerated, but at the end this deck is a good key against aggro if you mulligan well and know how to use it :D
