Hello everyone! Yes! Yes it is! A REAL deck with Purify in it. Some say it is bad. But it is a very nice support card in the silence Priest.
Old stuff here:
So I've been playing with a deck I got from this site. I will put up the link later on. I changed some cards from it to fit in some new expansion cards. Purify can silence or Ancient Watcher, Eerie Statue or Moat Lurker.
Okay yes, we already have Silence. But think about it. When druid wasn't nerfed, silence was really powerfull. I always was afraid of people having that Keeper of the Grove. Druid was quite powerfull back then. Now where do I want to go with this?
Since we have 2 silence cards we could use Silence on our opponent. And Silence will be feared again.
If Silence can't be found we have our shields up, Defender of Argus and Sunfury Protecter.
And if you ask yes, the previous deck worked really well since you could use silence to attack with some big minions or for your opponent.
More thaughts:
Defender of Argus: This can be played instead of Sunfury Protector. The bad think about it is that it costs 2 more mana. In this deck the buffs doesn't matter that much so I included Sunfury Protector instead.
Onyx Bishop: If it is true that you can CHOSE with minion comes alive, this will be a must play in each priest deck. So I would defintly make some space if this is the case.
Give me your thaughts!
New stuff:
This is a interly new take on the silence priest archetype. What do we have here?
Deathrattle Backup
I loved deathrattle ever since it came out. But there is only one who makes it better: N'Zoth, the Corruptor. There aren't many deathrattle cards in this deck but that's not our aim. With the quest you can get your face back up to 40 and go into late game with a lot of fun.
Silence
We have our new silence targets: Humongous Razorleaf and Bittertide Hydra. In my opinion that Humongous Razorleaf guy is way too OP when it gets silenced... 4/8 on turn one? But nothing beats 4 mana 7/7...
Choices
There are a lot cards I only play one of in this deck. Why is this? Well just because I don't know what is better actually. Silence and Kabal Songstealer? The one is very good early, the other one is better midgame. Priest of the Feast or another Defender of Argus? These are both good against aggro. But you are screwed if you don't have any spells and the other way around if you don't have any minions on the board. These are all examples of decisions I couldn't made and have to test out what is used more than the other.
Update 8/8/2017 - Incoming Frozen Throne
This time I'm fully ready to take on the ladder with my newest version of the purify deck! There is one card that stood out among all of the other priest cards: Obsidian Statue. With the addition of this card I want to make use of the quest Awaken the Makers. I don't know how it's going to pull of because it is not the main goal of the deck. I removed Holy Nova to mave more change of getting a silence spell with the help of Shadow Visions to use on our silencable targets. When they remove all of those, deathrattle is on our side.
Feel free to switch around some cards and share your ideas! Let's make Purify great again!
too slow against aggro, otherwise is OK
Thank you so much for trying this out sir! Do you have any suggestions? We got AncientWatcher wich we can give taunt and got some board clears
ancient watcher with sunfury are 4 mana, which means turn 3-4 you can do it. against zoo lock by turn 3-4 they have their board filled up with 1-2 health minions. by then clearing 5-health taunt isn't a problem for them, as well as aggro hunter / shaman. my point is the deck lacks early game against aggro and zoo: the cleric doesn't stop them in any way. and if you think it's a common situation to mulligan for watcher, sunfury and a removal, well, it's not.
You are indeed right sir about Sunfury Protector. I just updated the deck with that chance :)
And about the targets. It is very very strong. I have played Silence druid before the classic nerfs while Keeper of the Grove was a 2/4. And it was very succesfull. It had the same build of this deck, only with the druid class cards.
And it is such a huge tempo play to silence a 4 mana 7/7 without hurting yourself. And most of the time they don't see it comming so you can just clear a minion with it and heal it up again. Then your opponent will play some minions and you can just clear them out and go face.
About the board clear, I didn't really had problems with it since I also run Auchenai Soulpriest. The other thing is I just don't know what I should remove from the deck to make more space for removal...
Thank you for your feedback!
About your ideas:
Corrupted Healbot, I have tried another deck before that one and it was with that card and Embrace the Shadow and other combo's to make it deal damage. But it didn't really worked out for me... So I don't feel like playing it again. Also a 4 mana 6/6 body that can attack and still need to silence doesn't really feel like that much value.
Faceless Shambler, he would fit nicely in this deck indeed. But the real value would only work with Eerie Statue. He would be a good synergy with it but I just can't find the space for him. If Moat Lurker doesn't work out that well I will replace him for him.
Flash Heal. This is indeed a nice card to include. You could switch it out for Darkshire Alchemist. They have the same effect but I feel like a minion on the board seems better.
Yes, this is an updated version of a deck I've used recently on ladder. I had 2x Silence in the deck and a Spellbreaker in it. I also had the 4x give taunt minions wich were used when I didn't found any silences.
But now with 4x silence effects I don't think there is a need for 4x give taunt minions. I feel like it will lead to more dead draws.
And you are asking how many times I found myself in the combo? Every. Single. Match. Why? Because there is a lot of draw in this deck!
Northshire Cleric in combo with Circle of Healing makes us draw a lot. Power Word: Shield makes us also draw a card and now with Purify there will be enough draw to make sure the combo gets real :)
Thank you for your feedback!
