This season i became Legendary with the use of two decks. Dragon Priest and Dragon Shaman.
I used Dragon Shaman for the grind to rank 5. From that moment on 60% of my oppenents was a Secret Paladin. I seriously lost to many against those so i switched to Dragon Priest.
Good matchup:
RenoLock, Tempo Mage, Aggro Druid, Midrange Druid, Secret Paladin
Descent matchups:
Patron Warrior, Control Warrior, Aggro Shaman, Warlock Zoo, Midrange Paladin
Bad matchups:
Freeze Mage, Anyfin Paladin

Still super inconsistent. Unless you get that perfect curve, they isn't much you can do to recover.
Any way to improve the consistency of the deck? I have no problem even outlasting fatigue warrior, but every second deck on ladder (secret paladin, zoo warlock, aggro shaman etc) just walks all over me while i watch my hand of Ysera, Azure Drake and Lightbomb and pray for a miracle (my removal).
And then, sometimes I just draw all 4 taunts in a row and they can't get past.
It's a fun deck but can be inconsistent. Reminds me of midrange paladin.You need to draw your 1-2-3 curve almost perfectly (or have your opponent miss) or else all the "better" decks (zoo, secret paladin, most control decks, freeze mage) will beat you.
This deck amazing! I've been ranking so naturally with it! The only change I have is I replaced Chillmaw with Neferian. It can work decently with Brann Bronzebeard. Keep up the great work!
I only made that change because I don't have Chillmaw and I mostly play against Control decks. Chillmaw is still a good choice
Dear,
Artie,do u think there is place for justicar trueheart on the decks?
And is it possible for Ysera switch with Nefarian?
What about Brann Bronzebeard to Shadow Word: Pain switch? There a lot of aggro decks in meta, so i think Shadow Word: Pain will work better, because you can easily remove early threats such as Knife Juggler
You have a point. Thanks for answer.
Hey astie85,
What would be the best temporary replacements for: lightbomb, chill maw, dr. boom and ysera? Thank you!
You should at least craft Boom!
Thanks for the reply astie85, I really appreciate it!
I have finished ALL of the solo adventures, so I have the legendary's only from those. I just crafted the lightbomb, so I am just missing chillmaw, dr. boom and ysera now.
I was thinking of replacing them with the blackrock legendary's: rend blackhand, chromaggus, and nefarian.
Do you think this would work or should I just go with what you suggested?
funny how it shows excavated evil in the gameplay yet you dont have it in ur deck
Subbed ysera for nozdormu and the deck is like ten times better.

You're right. Here you go.
Seeing a lot of these decks in the lower ladder right now (NA). I found this post to determine how I can deal with this deck as a Dragon Priest. It seems there are 3 viable options offered:
- Chillmaw, which only deals with the first wave (most are running both cards)
-Loatheb, which stalls a turn
-Entomb, which steals a warleader or murkeye to minimize anyfin power
Of the 3 I believe I will use Entomb in my deck as a solution rather than stalling a turn. Now I have to figure out what to replace in my dragon deck, obviously not a dragon.
+15/-16 at rank 8, --delete deck (I removed this deck))
sry for my tilt; im try tempo-mage and dragon-druid )) aggro-decks/secret gays is my enemy; dragon-priest in next season; im need in 5th rank now ))
- Dr Boom
- Chillmaw
- 1 Velens Chosen
+ Shadow madness (pretty much the only control card which I think is needed because else you are dependent on a great start or survive until your aoe comes into play at minimum 5 mana)
+ Voljin for extra tempo, specially vs renolock that comes out with 8/8
+ Dragon Skin Sorcerer. Not a fantastic card plus I have removed one Velen which makes it even weaker. This is only for the extra dragon. I'll try to be greedier if I think this is not needed and replace this with chillmaw.
Currently rank 5. Did rank 8-5 with 65% win rate.
This deck is great. Freeze mages is ofc a pain in the ass but renolock can be beaten. Play around shadowflame, siphon soul and mind control deck.
Never play Yzera before the siphon soul is gone (and if possible not before Owl either). Also you can surprise and finish off warlocks with Brann + Blackwing Corruptor for 6 damage.
Even good warlocks never calculate they are going to eat 6 damage by such a combo and go greedy letting their HP drop a little bit too low.
you have a channel (twitch/youtube, etc) ?
sure
