Hi guys, i recommend you try this deck out. It's the ultimate control deck, with plenty of early game to beat all aggro decks as well as Pirate Cancer.
Updated for Gaz: +2 Dragonoid Operative = Best new Card. +2 Dragonfire Potion = Best Clear in the game. -1 Azure Drake (doesn't combo with potion) +1 Book Wyrm, as there are many 3/4 in the current game.
+ Brann Bronzebeard because we are greedy for more Draknoid Operative combo.
You will never run out of cards using this deck. Just focus on clearing the board each turn and mounting control of the board.
So far i have climbed rapidly, including a 9 game win streak
Mulligans:
Fairly standard in this deck. Usually we want to keep Zombie Chow and Twilight Whelp regardless of who we are playing.
We can keep Northshire Cleric, but we only play her turn 1 against heroes that can't destroy her. Warrior, Druid, Warlock, Mage, Shaman can clear her mostly. Great to play turn 1 against Pally.
Twilight Guardian I nearly always keep. We usually draw another dragon by turn 4. With coin Azure Drake is also nice to keep. We really want some dragon action early, a had of spells could mean you begin to far behind.
Museum Curator is ok turn 2, but I prefer to draw him rather then keep him in starting hand. He is a good card when we don't have much of a play and can provide us with what we need. Sometimes a 2nd Chillmaw which is handy to keep in hand.
First game, i played 3 sneeds against a CW 2 from curators and 1 from monkey. Maybe this deck is not that successful but its fun for sure :D
I've only been playing for a month or so and managed to get to rank 6 with this today. I couldn't even do that with secret paladin.
Thanks!
What would you suggest swapping out one of the zombies for? I don't think I've been able to use two in any of my games so far.
That's a great result. Hope you can push for legend.
Yes, drawing a zombie late game is pretty useless. I don't think you have to replace him with another 1 drop.
My suggestion would be one of the legendary sisters.
Great video mate. Thanks for sharing.
Lightbomb you need, so i'd suggest crafting.
Velen's Chosen - Shadow Word: Pain or Thoughtsteal
Shrinkmeister - Dark Cultist
Zombie Chow - 1x Zombie can be exchanged for any card you want to play. Some pple suggest the deck doesn't need two.
Thanks for all the great feedback guys. xx
I am not a Champion Player, I wouldn't even say i'm a good player. I enjoy this game for what it is and the fun of it.
How to farm upvotes in 5 easy steps:
1. Take a few months old list
2. Add a new shiny card in it (Sir Finley Mrrgglton, Brann Bronzebeard, Elise Starseeker, etc.)
3. Post "new" deck on hearthpwn.com with winrate in the title (doesn't matter if said winrate is based on a handful of games)
4. ????
5. PROFIT!!!
Just played this against another control Priest. Dude kept entombing my big guys, thoughtstole my map, and just all around wrecking me. I ended up dealing 20 for OTK with awakens+nightmare+nova. Feelsgoodman :)
Great deck!
Hi guys, I played a couple games and I have to say that with the meta being filled with druids and paladins, It is a good time for Dragon priest again!
This cool deck inspired me to make a video showing good game-play for the deck. This as been one of my favorites so far this month and I hope that you guys give it a good try too!
@Fossbyfloss I Really enjoyed the deck, It was a great Idea. I hope that you continue making awesome decks, and Ill try making it to legend with this deck ill keep you updated!
Hey, Any replacements for Lightbomb?
No replacement. This card is needed. Often to clear a Dr. Boom. We don't play BGH.
Good deck
Just went 17-2 on the ladder with this deck. I don't have Chillmaw, so I used Chromaggus instead. I also dropped one Zombie Chow for one Blackwing Technician.
UPDATE: 25-4
What region and what rank ? That's pretty sweet
I am in America and I went from rank 19 to 8 and still climbing
i would thing Nefarian for Dragon Synergie or Excavated Evil against Aggro (or Patrons) maybeeeeeee Dr7 because of the Deckslot.
i'm trying Nefarian and see how this goes...
I ran a Chromaggus instead of Chillmaw, because I still wanted the dragon slot, but I wanted an earlier play than 9. The best thing about playing Chromaggus 8 is that the other player uses a ton of resources to get rid of it, setting up Ysera wonderfully.
Why "Monkey"?
Dragons with Elise! FeelsGoodMan! I enjoy playing dragon priest because it has some very solid taunts the 4 health on wyrmrest agent and the 6 health on twilight guardian really REALLY help :D ! I made some gameplay of the deck yoh ;P !
