A quick video of Dragon Priest in full stride
It's OP use it. twitch.tv/reynad27
Just for clarification Chillmaw is for Patron Warrior, Voljin is mainly used for high health late game drops such as Ysera and then smiting the minion. Rend is used for the manyyyy legendaries that have sprouted because of TGT
-*LOOK HERE IMPORTANT STUFF* EDIT----- Reynad has added in 2 shrinkmiesters, 2 cabal shadow priests, a second shadow word death, 2 shadow madness and has taken out 2 smite, 2 velen's chosen, ysera, rend and vol'jin. He wanted the deck to have a better curve and early game so the deck doesn't lose all control because of enemy early drops
*LOOK MORE IMPORTANT STUFF* EDIT--- I know the changes made the deck worse but reynad was just trying stuff out. You can revert to the old deck because it had a higher win percentage just wanted to put his edits in the deck so its up to date ~ Loki (PS i personally think the original deck is better)
I don't have Chillmaw. What can you do instead? :/
Lightbomb I guess
this deck has no endgame and no midgame removal. got slammed by handlock.
That's why this version of this deck doesn't work since Ysera isn't included. With so many strong early minions they will have already used all their removals by the time u throw out Ysera so it will do a LOT of damage and outright win you the game most of the time. I also run a lightbomb specifically for handlocks and a few other decks. But admittedly handlock is the weak point for this deck but not every deck can be good vs all :O
Deck is fun to play. Doesn't run on too many legendary so it's not too hard to craft.
What I'd change is the dragonkin for a card like ysera or nefarion if you don't have her. The dragonkin is pretty much just there to fill a blank and you won't get much value out of it. I played a few dozens of game with the deck and even with the enemy playing mech yeti, I never was able to cast something on the dragonkin.
Unless I was really unlucky. I had difficulty when encountering oil rogue and totem shaman. Once the board is filled with stuff and a mukla's champion appear, there's not alot of things this deck can do. These 2 decks made me stale for a moment in rank 15.
If you guys have tips to counter them, feel free to share them.
I've been playing my own variant of the priest dragon deck and I also feel that Dragonkin Sorcerer needs to be replaced. I know he is a dragon to help enable the other cards, but as you stated, it doesn't do much for my board. I'm not really sure what to replace it with, as I already include both Ysera and Chromaggus. I'm considering throwing in a Shadow Word: Pain or a Piloted Shredder, but I'm not 100% positive.
81% winrate over 100+ games with the original list since TGT released. Can't argue with that.
Dragonkin sorceror is always a downgrade from Eydis Darkbane.
I love this deck! Haven't tried the new one but the original i went from 5-4! i was stuck for the longest at 5 but the deck helped me so much to push for 4. I am really liking it a lot and looking forward to push further! Thanks for sharing. Ill keep posted about my progress with the deck before this one. I have yet to try the new version but i am hesitate to do so since im on a roll. Thanks again :D
Only changes i made were i took 1 holy nova out for a lightbomb to counter more late game or if i lose tempo it gives me a chance to come back in the game and usually it works from my testing! No other changes were made since the deck is really freaking strong as is.
i understand that the original deck is better i just made the changes so its up to date with Reynad's ~ Loki
lol people saying this is rank 15 max deck must be really shit at this game. Went from rank 16-10 today with a similar deck with like a 90% winrate today. IMO the key card for this deck is Ysera however, its the card that's won me the most games. Also 1 lightbomb is pretty much a must as holy nova isn't enough for a lot of decks that this one has trouble with (handlock and control war). Aggro is a joke for this deck unless u get shit draws but isnt that always the case anyway?
Went to rank 7 already just with this desk, so who say's that this deck for rank 15 play it completely wrong
Here I thing most optimal deck

Both versions of this deck are garbage. LVL 15 max. Either you're getting rushed in the beginning or they flank you in the end.
ur bad mate im rank 4 from 15 with this deck
It's actually "you're" and no I'm not. You can't say someone is bad with a game of luck and this deck doesn't tip the scales in any way..... MATE....
Dude, consider ur play skills. Stop blaming on the decks
The problem with this deck is that it is highly dependent on dragons. If you dont draw any in the earyl game you might as well conceed.
There's plenty of dragons. That's why Northsire Cleric exists, anyway.
