Thanks Khristophesaurus For this Amazing video!
This is the newest priest deck I use in this season. The reason I use it is because it can improve the winrate of faceing aggro decks and its stability against aggro decks such as face hunter, mech mage.Those decks don’t use silent cards or they don't have many removal cards.So it usually wastes the opponent more damage to deal with when you double the life of deathlord.And when you make a wall with more than 20 HP.I think the opposite will be desperate. At the same time, this deck also has a good performance facing the traditional control decks, especially against patron.
Overall Strategy:
This deck keeps the main part of the dragon priest and runs two lightbombs as removal solution methods, runs divine spirit and inner fire as lethal damage push, because usually the life of cards in dragon priest is relatively high and very good synergy with buff cards. When you have a minion of 6 or moreHP you have a good chance to kill opponents minion at little cost. Of course these buff cards not only use in OTK combo, but also can make a wall to win easily against aggro decks.
Here is an analysis of different match ups
Favored Match Ups: Face hunter, mech mage, aggro druid, patron, secret paladin, zoo etc..
Mulligan: Northshire cleric, Twilight Whelp Wymest agent, Deathlord. If you have a deathlord you can also keep one divine spirit.
Against these decks first of lal you need to look for 1, 2 cost or deathlord to keep board presence while looking for opportunities to buff your high hp cards, for example deathlord and twilight guardian. but remember dont invest buff on the same creature unless you have leathal so when the opponent silences it you dont lose too much board control and it keeps board presence after trading. When playing against aggro decks board control matters more thsn removal. you should play minions as much as you can.
50/50 Games
Midrange pally, oil rogue:
Mulligan: Northshire cleric twilight whelp wyrmest agent deathlord. you can also keep azure drake and twilight guardian when you have 1 or 2 cost creature.
This deck doesnt have many 50/50 match ups because it has great advantage over agro decks and control decks with no methods to do a lot of damage to get lethal. It lacks against late game decks with high lethal dmg in one turn. So when you face mid pally and oil rogue, they do not have to play around ur buff cards, because pally can use equality and oil rogue sap so try to bait them then use buff, or when your minion can attack or trade to get some value not the turn you play the minion
Unfavored Match Ups: Handlock control warrior, mid range druid
Mulligan:
Northshire Cleric, Twilight Whelp, Wyrmest Agent, Deathlord Azure Drake, Twilight guardian. Dont keep the combo, we need more creatures for board pressure.
These are bad match ups but we if we get good early board control or dmg we can get good value from trading.
When playing handlock, we need to control the board and try to draw as much as possion into divivine spirit and innerfire to easily kill our opponent. try and draw these cards while applying as much board presssure as possible . The key is to find the right time to use a bomb as well. Against control warrior and mid druid, get as many value trades and draw a lot with cleric mean while trying to maintain board control. We need Northshire cleric early in these match ups to draw.
Our worse match up Freeze Mage
Mulligan: Low cost creatures and innerfire/ divine spirit
Freeze mage is the opponent we do not want to see due to the lack of heals. There is no way to deal with frost nova and doomsayer. When we face freeze mage we must try and grab combo and push as much dmg between turns 3-5. We do not wait to combo this match up. IN order to win we must get early dmg , and hope we kill by turn 7 or 8 and use boom bots in our favor as well.
Alternative Cards:
Dark Cultist: This card can be used when facing control decks, it can effectively trade and buff our own creature compared to deathlord without any sides.
Shade of naxx: it is best against control decks because it is safe to buff this card.
Eydis Darkbane: This card works fine in this deck, but its random affect can affect our desired goal, and in order to activate it we might waste some buff cards which will lead us to lose some games so i personally dont run this card.
Key Cards:
Deathlord: Against face decks, its side effect will be very small and play it after clearing the board using like lightbomb the opponent usually cant deal with it. Against patron it can pull the warsong and frothing berserker and we will the let the opponent cry in despair :D
Lightbomb: Against patron secret pally and handlock this card usually gives us the victory why it is important to run two.
Hope this guide helps a lot of people. Feel free to send me a message if you have anymore questions. I stay away from comments generally too many trolls
Edit took out sylvannas put in chillmaw
http://www.twitch.tv/dwayna27 I just started streaming come watch me :D
But i will not live! ) Secret pala can kill you turn 6. If you will not play minions.
And - i realy have early minions on hand only on 30% of my games. I allway try to wuligan only 1-2 mana minion - and i dont keep in hand any combo.
I lost 10 games in a roll from rank 9 to 14 with this deck.
48/48 Deathlord on turn 7 lol
Is there any room for Chromaggus ? If so, what would you replace?
Thanks for the video glad u enjoyed it :D
It's definitely a fun deck, and has some HILARIOUS outcomes. Thank you for posting it.
Face Priest! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching bro. I figured I'd show other players some dynamics, and give my version of a quick run through so new/inexperienced players can understand what they're looking for with the deck.
Credits to Kolento for what? lol
Testing the deck out now. So far 0-2 but it was against unfavorable matches. Control Warrior and Freeze mage. The one change was 1 lightbomb for a Chillmaw as I am currently lacking the 2nd bomb
Out of 9 games I went 4-5 with this deck in the 15-13 rank range. I'm not sure if maybe I just suck or maybe that missing light bomb is just that critical. Either way nice deck but probably just not for me.
Can you post a video on how you play the deck? I went on a massive losing streak with it , from 5 to 8.
I really am liking the priest for now. It wrecks the secret paladin im around 50/50 vs druid and warrior depends on how well i draw there really. Maybe the most losses i got are against the control and dragon priest! Thanks for the deck dude it carried me some ranks
Quick 10 matches before work
8-2, pretty interesting deck, early game works just like normal dragon priest which makes it solid and covers up for one of priest's flaws, the lack of good finishers by adding the inner fire combo(which works wonderfully on dragon priest minions due to their high HP)
I'd place patron in 50/50 matchup tho as it ends up being a match of "who gets their combo first" and both of you have good draw engines.
also, there are a 2 ways ive noticed we can deal with doomsayer, inner fire > sw:d or inner fire > lightbomb him, but no matter what, those are very inneficient plays unless you REALLY want to keep your board, and you do lose part of your combo for doing so and the lightbomb play can potentially screw you over anyways.
Back from work and played more 17 matches, went from 8-2 to 16-11, met 6(!!) freeze mages and they are indeed this deck's worst nightmare(out of the 9 losses, 6 were to those, it felt really bad), but against aggro it is very strong.
I just killed 2 handlocks in a row on turn 5, was lucky with card draw but still insane.
1st Game turn 4 guardian, turn 5 x2 divine spirit, inner fire
2nd Game, turn 2 coin deathlord, turn 3 velen, turn five divine spirit + inner fire
I know this is not every game but its real funny i never finished a game with priest before by turn 5 :)
Pretty awesome deck right now. So far went from 18 to 16 and only been playing for a little more than an hour.
My favorite combo and favorite game so far was turn two coin into deathlord. turn three velen's choosen. turn four divine spirit, then inner fire for game OTK.
Well, Warrior is spelled "execute"
I have to say I have given Kolento's "Dragon" Priest a try. I have tried classic (Shrinkmeister, Cabal Shadow Priest.) I could not get those decks down to save my life and I always felt that priests just wasn't the right hero for me. Until I found this deck! This deck bumped me to rank 5 from 10 in no time! Has to be one of my favorite priest decks out there!
