This deck is so much fun - it always surprises opponents, and is punishing in the late game when your momentum has kicked in. I've had many "how the hell did I beat that deck" laugh-out-loud moments with it, and comebacks that seem too good to be true. Never give up when you play this deck, no matter how far behind you think you are. Priest of the Feast often makes up for your tempo loss in the early game, and Thoughtsteals can change everything. Seriously, in the three years I've been playing this game, I've never seen so many Thoughtsteal-based swings. And the reach of this deck is absurd. The Control Warrior vs. Priest matchup has swung back and forth over the years, but it's never been as one-sided as this - I can't see how CW ever beats this deck.
The main problem I have is the mulligan. The early game is so passive that it's really difficult to know what to shoot for. My approach is to hold Auchenai or Circle if they show up, else hope for Curators and SW:Pains. Unlike with Wild decks, there's no Velens or Shrinkmeister to protect a turn one Cleric, so it's often worth sending it back in the mulligan too. Maybe Acolytes are better? Kripp only put Clerics in to complete the "X Priest cards" quest.
Again, I'm pretty confused for the first three turns anyway, I'd be interested to hear what other people have to say.
This deck is super fun. I just had to replace Elise Starseeker with Prince Malchezaar.
Agree with Forbidden Shaping. I replaced Elise Starseeker with [card]Prince Malchezaar[/card] and replaced 1 Arcane Giant with Forbidden Shaping.
Doesn't Forbidden Shaping summon a 0-mana minion with Medivh?
No it doesnt.. Shaping is 0 mana spell that drain all your current mana.. SO if you cast it at 8 mana, it still a 0 mana spell where atiesh is concerned.. so yeah.. tinyfin for you.
