Broken, Broken, Broken, Broken, Broken, Broken.
This deck is crazy. More hard removal and a battlecry synergy make this deck WAY better than the regular dragon priest.
Lets just talk about the super combos for a second.
BGH + Brann bronzebeard.
TWO huge threats are now gone. Hell you could try running Rend blackhead just for the fun of it (doth actually do this)
twilight guardian is now a 4/6 for 4 with taunt. Technician is a 4/6 for 3.
twilight drake is a massive threat after it uses 5 cards in hand to gain 10 health.
blacking corruptor now just casually deals 3 damage twice and Azure drake draws two cards.
Cabal now is just ball-bustingly broken since with shrinkmeister (shrinking for 4) it can steal things like Loatheb or even justicar. Yep, steal a 6/? and a 2/? for 8 on top of the bodies for 8 mana.
Finally we get to cards that may not have been viable without this battle cry synergy.
Drakonid crusher is now one of the best 6 drops in the game. 12/12 for 6 (yes silence, yes BGH but A 12/12 FOR 6, THAT IS DEATHWING FOR 6 MANA)
Nefarian add 4 count them, four spells from your opponents class to your hand.
Now to those saying this deck is meh at best… I will bet Brann will make this deck broken because the deck is already great without the new cards. It now crosses into crazy levels of overpowered.
Entomb is just the nail in the coffin for any opposing control deck, (this deck will mow down any agro if just one of the battlecrys triggers twice) not only will you remove the opposing Ragnaros but, you will add it to your deck. Think of it as a buffed shadow word death for 6 mana.
To top it all off we have Tharussan, making these combos easier. Now that completely crazy steal by cabal is only costing you 6 mana.
Thanks for reading, try this deck out. I know I will (as soon as I get nefarian)
edit:
- 1 BGH (battlecry doesnt trigger twice)
+ 1 SWD
- 1 entomb, 1 twilight welp
+ 2 Holy nova.
Broken is right, but more RNG broken than build broken. Currently 1/13 with it. This is the crap this deck pulls on me all the time -
This deck is not broken. this deck is created by someone who doesn't seem to fully grasp the Brann Bronzebeard mechanic. Example:
"BGH + Brann bronzebeard. TWO huge threats are now gone."
No. They aren't. Targeted battlecries only target the same minion twice. So all it does is fire the killshot twice at the same thing. You don't get to kill Boom and Ragnaros. My apologies, but when you're opening argument for why this deck isn't just good but Broken x6 is a card interaction that doesn't work, it undermines your entire argument.
Other interactions could work just fine (twilight drake is a great one, especially in the mirror) but do not ever count on Brann actually being on your board for more than a turn. He is a magnet for removal so your only hope is they either don't have a way to kill him after you play him turn 3 and pray you can play a Twilight Drake or Guardian on Turn 4, or you're having to wait for some good combos after you got a Thaurissan turn. It's a fun concept, but the turn 3 plan is a prayer and the Thaurissan plan typically gets you killed to early. This deck is far from being broken and I'd venture it's even far from being good. This deck is too far all-in on brann and has very few other win conditions. You want to play a Brann Dragon deck? I recommend this one. The creator didn't get to legend with it but rank 6 is still very good and this deck is built on hopes.
So from what i have heard, battle cry target effects like BGH, Fire Elemental, etc trigger twice on the same thing, so instead of 3 dmg it would take 6 dmg instead not choose a second time. If this is the case, BGH can still only kill 1 big creature (twice i guess lol). I believe kripp was saying this in some vid of his. You should test this asap when it comes out. If it's how I have heard it is, then you will need to change your wording in your description of this deck. I don't think it's the way you are thinking it is, b/c it's imo too op therefore I don't think blizzard will do it that way.
Because Cabal Shadowpriest, BGH, and Vol'jin are nonbos I think their prevalence in the deck may need to be re-evaluated somewhat. Shrinkmeister too; -4 attack is cool but running two Meisters is a lot. Also, as others have noted, Drakonid Crusher seems silly here. A different angle for the Brann deck is actually running Echoing Ooze, Dragonkin Sorcerer, and some Velen's Chosen.
does ooze work with bronzebeard? I dont think it does because the effect isnt battlecry.
(i may be 110% wrong)
thats cool! I didnt know that.
first of all its a nice idea.
but there are a lot of problems.
i dont want to be insulting or something, but a player that has never used a dragon priest deck cant really make a good one, decide which dragon priest deck is good (or "BROKEN") or even say things like:"...make this deck WAY better than the regular dragon priest. ".
theres another problem, this deck looks good in theory - with all the combos and the synergys - but it depends too much on Brann Bronzebeard.
i dont want to start talking about each card in the list but there was one the caught my eye: drakonid crusher.
i really dont like drakonid crusher in this deck, and i dont think he will be good.
i know that a 12/12 body is really tempting, but if youll get the buff its means that your opponenthas 15 health or less - and in this case you will probably be in the lead (with this kind of deck) - so this card will be a "win more" card most ofthe times. i think it should be replaced with a card according to the futures meta (probably a more anti aggro card).
in conclusion, i think that in this deck the trick will be not to get super into the battlecry thing.
i know it may have seemd like i really dont like this deck but its important for me to say that the idea is very nice, and i think it has a lot of potential.
also, 'iStillSuck', im sorry if i was a little rough but i wanted you to know that i admire people who tries to create new and original decks
and well done on the idea - even though there should be some changes.
Thanks for the criticism!
I agree that crusher is a wing more card, but I just kinda ran with the gimmic.
I do run dragon priest but, I don't have all of black-rock (FTP) so I am missing cards like nefarian, and coruptor but have agent and gaurdian.
I am definitely going to have a play around with this deck. I think I might put a lightbomb in instead of entomb given the current meta but I really like the concept.
I mean holy nova usually kills off agro for me and, turn 2, turn 4 taunts slow them WAY down.
I'm running something similar as well... With mass dispel as well XD. I run holy champion though because I need burst.
Nerub'ar Weblord just got a buff.
You still should replace Nefarian with Ysera. At least you know the cards that you can get from her.
nefarian getting you 4 cards is absolutely broken late game, as well as the high attack and, the fact you dont need to craft him.
thank you very much!
I like the concept, now i need to try it out!
hey, double coruptor though!
So does that mean Vol'jin will swap health then swap back? That would suck.
