Some of these cards are pretty self explanatory and even new players will guess what they can be used for such as Northshire Cleric, Velen's Chosen etc.
I'll get in on some cards and their advantages in this specific deck starting with...
Excavated Evil! Some new players might think:"WOW! Why would I give a board clear to my opponent and pay 5 mana for it?! That's just crazy!"
NOPE!
As Kripp himself explained, imagine yourself playing against aggro decks such as Shaman, Paladin or Hunter, these decks don't really use board clears and a board clear that does damage even to your OWN minions is just absurd to have. Excavated Evil also denies them in that matter a card draw, its almost like they didn't even draw on their turn if they get Excavated Evil, so I believe this card is absolutely overpowered when it comes to destroying aggro decks!
Deathlord! Absolutely destroys aggro decks, even if some new players are skeptical on why would you give opponent a free minion, just from my experience 8 times out of 10, you will give them only something like a Leper Gnome. Since you're playing a CONTROL deck, Deathlord is absolutely necessary.
Justicar Trueheart! Really? You don't think healing for 4 hp is reasonable? I've played 21 games without Justicar Trueheart, just because I didn't have crafted it at the time. My win percentage was at 71% or 15 wins and 6 losses. This deck is playable without it, understand that, but this card really makes your life much easier. After playing 12 games with Justicar Trueheart my win percentage rose to 83% or 10 wins and 2 losses. This card is really OP when it comes to control, and I think you should definitely craft it.
MULLIGAN
From BEST to WORST
Zombie Chow, Deathlord, Northshire Cleric.
Are absolute best!
Shadow Madness, Shrinkmeister, Shadow Word: Pain
Are absolute average!
Power Word: Shield and Velen's Chosen
Are absolute optimal-in-some-situations-but-usually-bad!
Since on demand I played 10 games on Ranks 15-11 (which is average range most people play on) just to show you how well I could match up against the meta.
As you can tell, it goes pretty good with 9 out of 10 games won.
Average time played from 10 games is 10.1 minutes.
Average turns you'll be playing is 16.6 turns.
10 games is not a enough to make a right call on stats, but we can see here that 75-90% win percentage with this deck is absolutely possible. I myself have NEVER been Legend rank, so someone who has might have even better plays with this deck.
This deck dominates secret pally most of the time. It's almost unfair with the board clears and entombs.
Definitely makes some people rage on the other side.
Plus 1
Thanks for the deck. http://hss.io/d/7634658
If not secret pallys every second game it would be way over 60% wr.. Anyway good enough as you can see. (first time legend)
I have found this deck has a 80% WR against secret pally. Very easy to destroy the board with Exacavate, Lightbomb, Entombs, Holy Nova, SW:D. I mean, you can easily deal with everything threat they have. Save 1 entomb for Tirion.
Yeah, when you draw them.
Every deck is dependent upon draw. What makes a deck reliably good against an archetype is that it consistently does so. This deck consistently does so since so much of the deck is AOE. I state 80% WR because it typically draws them. If you're not winning against decks that get destroyed by AOE, you're probably not getting enough value from the AOE. Wait a turn and let them develop the board so you can destroy it with 1 card.
You have 6 cards that can easily kill a buffed minion after MC drops. You have 6 AOEs to clear board. You have 2 cards that steal minions. You have 4 taunts that force secret pally to trade (and not proc secrets). You even give them Excavated Evil after you use it, hampering their ability to develop the board.
I'm surprised that I am beating CW with this no problem. Even with the shield slams and executes on my deathlords. Timing it with entombs, excavates, and light bombs...no prob!
Hope you will rework this for standard, right?
Won't be hard :b
I love this deck so far. It's so simple yet so amazing. priest is my favorite class and i've been spamming this deck all day. I was on a huge winning streak... until I hit a freeze mage. and then like 5 more freeze mages. and I lost to all of them
pls. is there any way to beat freeze mages with this deck or should I just insta-concede when I see a mage? I ALWAYS have control of the board with all of my board clear in my hand.. but then they get Antonidas and then get like 6 fireballs from it on the same turn and I just die the next turn.........
Absolutely not, Tempo, Mech or any other Mage besides Freeze can't be won.
Freeze Mage doesn't really play minions and his combo will destroy you before you even notice. Haven't seen Freeze Mages much myself, but this deck doesn't really stand much chance against them :/
Freeze Mage...mulligan for Trueheart. You have to use her +4 heal after Alex. It's tough with Anto. If you're hitting lots of freeze mages, tech out the taunts, they don't really do much for you and get some healbots and minions with battlecry to get their value since they're frozen a lot. Save PAIN for Doomsayers.
Love it so far. Yes you have so many spells seems weird and you will pass turns with just a heal. But you have removal for everything which is fantastic. Current 9-1 (rank 11). Only loss was to a secret paladin didnt have entomb . Warrior matches go to fatigue!
I upvoted this deck simply because I am amused that you run 6 boardclears and I think it would be really funny to see my opponents reaction.
I was excitd for a Shadowform deck :P QQ
"played 10 games on Ranks 15"
WOW NEW DECK NEW META Kappa
I'm not as good as you think ;D (Kappa)
How is this new?
There's just a few twicks to the elise priest from late this season
Well I guess people should be allowed to make decks that are just revisions of other decks (the pro streamers do this all the time and are loved for it). Besides 90% match to the other Elise deck isn't too bad, there's some front page decks right now that are 97% matched to other well known decks.
i guess there is a dif between revisions and total rip offs though :) this is just a rip off from titan-hs deck he made a while ago i could plus 1 rip off decks for a nice guide and page design in this case im not gonna bother to plus one or do a minus one i`ll just move along.
This is pretty similar to the deck that I just made legend with. Take away 1 shadow word pain, 1 shadow word death, and 1 holy nova, and add 1 more shrinkmeister, velen's chosen, and cabal shadow priest and you have my deck.
