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 can only say that I'm unsure about such a drastic replacment. As Twilight guardian is one of the best agrro answers you hold in the deck, yet on the contrary, you replace it with an aggro booster in your deck, it's very extreme to say the least.
The job of the guardian is to either extend your life total aganist aggro, or protect the more fragile yet valueable cards (cleric, damaged minion, azure, etc). On the other hand you can get a 5/6, and also give the enemy more minions to advance their aggro moves like giving buffs and trading up, or face damage. So you most ask yourself, is the aggro this season THAT uncommon that you'd want to kick out your life line for a minion that can trade up and survive.
Donno about you, but I didn't see enough control to justify this change.
Does anyone have a replacement for the Cabal Shadowpriests?
Try Mind Control x2
Entomb
This Deck isn't any good against the current Meta, I might just be a bit Salty but had nothing but Face hunters all day today and if it wasn't Hunter is was another aggresive Deck that didn't give you a chance. I feel the only way I could survive would be with perfect draw but RNG filling my mulligan with 5drops isn't fun...
Dragon Priest is excellent at dealing with aggro if you have any of your taunts in your starting hand. Wyrmrest Agent and Twilight Guardian are both great against face hunter and the like. You've probably just been having bad luck.
Does this deck still need Chillmaw since patron warrior is basically non-existant? If not, what would be a good alternative and should I run the updated the deck list or the original?
Deathwing Muahahahahhahh!
Sorry.
Lightbomb should work.
Well I have Chillmaw I just thought the only reason that card was in the deck was to deal with patron warrior. Does the card perform well outside of that scenario? Or is there a better card that works well with the deck? Maybe Chromaggus?
I'd prefer the original. If you don't have Chillmaw, you can use Nefarian and it works pretty well. Though both are unneeded now, Nefarian would be a good addition to the deck.
This deck is amazing, i currently dont own chillmaw so i replaced him with ysera, in my opinion this will probably be better just for more cards and more board clear options too with Ysera Awakens. Ive been playing with these dragon priest type decks for awhile now, if you know how to play a control type deck, then this one is just so powerful. If this deck is boring to you, try a normal control priest deck, with sylvanis, lightbomb, soulpriest etc.
Which version of the deck did you use? In the comments section it's saying the previous deck list (with vol'jin, ysera, and blackhand) had a higher win % but I didn't know if that still holds true this season.
yeah. another player. get the card.
Nothing can replace the BRM stuff (those are the core of most of the dragon based decks), but Dark Cultist can be replaced by velen's chosen, or whatever you want. As for not having basic priest cards, just level up by either playing arena, building a basic deck and playing ranked or unranked, or grind against the AI in solo mode.
nope
I'm missing the 2 Twilight Guardians and Chillmaw, and right now I only have enough dust to get 1 of those, witch one should I priorize?. I was thinking about the Twilights as I have Nefarian and Onyxia to replace Chill, am I right? (If not, tell me why, don't just vote down this comment)
Chillmaw is used to handle Patron. With the upcoming changes that soon to take place with Patron deck, she might be not as necessary as her was. Priest deck usually revolving around value of the card, they win by having much more value that opponent have. People always use Ysera as winning condition to out draw the opponent at the late game and win out of surplus resource and out value the opponent. You could use Chromaggus for the same function with a weaker effect. Ysera and Chromaggus also out of BGH scope. Alexstrasza, Onixia, and Nefarian is good, but they serve different function for different tactics, and also a food for BGH.
I cant see any other cards that can substitute Guardians. If we want to make dragon deck, that dragon must be included in. You can change it using Senjin, but the dragon synergy that Guardian have is still needed for.
The deck it self is still in development phase polished by many other player, you might be able to help improved the deck by trying other card and share us the result.
Hey guys, are there replacements for black mountain and Naxxramas cards?
Unfortunately, if you are looking for dragon decks it's impossible to find any without Naxx and BRM cards. Especially BRM dragons are the core of the deck
