RIP Justicar Trueheart
I feel like this deck is categorized incorrectly and acts more like a midrange deck than a control deck.
Entomb plays a keep role in transitioning from Midrange to Control, I guess it's the OP intention to Entomb Elise or any other important minion that control decks play and then beat you to death with it.
I recommend you to craft the second Injured Blademaster and Darkshire Alchemist since they're pretty good and core.
Harrison Jones can be replaced with Acidic Swamp Ooze because The Black Knight is unnecessary since you already have lots of removal.
any sub for sylvanas and harrison??
Harrison = Ooze or any draw-card
Sylvanas = no, but anything (6 drop) that affects the board will fit.
Played against three N'zoth priests in a row, killed them all with fatique when they played Cleric to full board. Pyro+circle=MVP. 5/5 would fatique again.
Why no Excavated Evil?
Holy nova is used instead as it helps u draw cards with cleric on board.
Pretty ok deck however i cant beat hunters with it. Win rate is around 60% but against hunters it's 0, not once did i even come close to winning. Too many 4+ cost cards in the deck, usually i die before i even get to turn 6. There are so many hunters that im stuck at rank 18. Also mage is very hard to beat, probably around 20% win rate. Any advice on how to beat them?
After playing some more i have to conclude that this deck is indeed quite bad. Do not recommend!
Is there space for Justicar Trueheart or Elise Starseeker?
Such a good deck! It's actually amazing how flexible this deck is. Seeing a deck that handles aggro and control about as well is definitely rare, and this deck does it! Here are som clips of me using this deck. Sorry you cant see the early game, shadowplays replay feature was set to 5 minutes but yeah :/ Only change i did was replacing Harrison with another alchemist which seems like the absolute best replacement, ooze doesn't do enough to be a card worth running above something with higher health and effect. Just want to mention, don't replace resurrect. It's a very powerful card in the early game and it helps with curving out a lot. Also procs pyromancer, and gives you a 4/7 if you get blademaster back. Can also get your soulpriest back with full health after circle combo.
Could you please explain your reasoning behind Resurrect in this deck? too random for me, with many cheap minions that you don't want coming back. why not to include a real consistent threat instead! Just for pyromancer interaction?
I'll explain three dream scenarios for you so you can understand why its good.
Youre going second, you coin injured circle, 4/7 on turn 2. Opponent has an answer this turn or next turn and you will propably spend your mana healing the 4/7 untill it dies. So the opponent clears the 4/7. You ressurect. Free 4/7 for 2 mana again. (because the battlecry doesnt trigger.)
You play wild pyro turn 2 in a matchup where it's irellevant, warrior for example. Dies to fiery win axe. You play acolyte, doesnt die (forget the axe) you resurrect and the wild pyro procs and whirlwinds the board with your acolyte. Same in zoo, it dies early game, opponent has a lot of 1/1 or you have coin or another spell. after it dies you resurrect it, board clear.
Anything you get in this deck is good for 2 mana anyway, you will always get something good. Say you are against an aggro shaman, you auchenei circle, and next turn he plays thing. Theres ½ chance you get auchenei back with ressurect, you flash heal the thing from below.
It's just good in every scenario :)
You should never play a card based off of dream scenarios, they are unlikely to happen in a real game.
Northshire Clerics aren't good and Acolytes of Pain are arguably good. Both of these you most likely played early game and are then a possible res target.
lol, they are dream scenarios because they are good scenarios, not because they never happen.
And of course its good! Revive a northshire and draw cards with it is more than enough. Your opponent just denied your card draw and you get it back, how can that be bad?!
I gotta agree with u, resurrect has been amazing and well worth keeping in the deck.
Any suggestion for [card]Sylvanas Windrunner[/card] replacement?
You can try a second cabal but most likely wont be good Its just too situational. I would say, not a direct replacement, but a second alchemist is good. Sylvanas role is to make it awkward for the opponent, but its also basically a hard removal. Can also be shadow word deathed and you can steal a grommash hellscream for example. It's just really good and used in many decks you should really craft it asap :)
