This is my 3 star Masters Priest deck for current patch. You must be PATIENT with this deck do not throw minions away. Make favorable trades with Shadow Madness SW: Pain and Death. Gruul and Hogger are extremely important pieces. People will use Silence and removal on Lightspawn's. Gruul gets +2/2 a round, he can quickly turn a game around.
Velen and Blademasters also work well in this deck.
So how is this deck currently?
5 to 1 win ratio. Way too slow for current meta.
I found this deck to be pretty good. The mana curve is a little top heavy though. Stormwind Champion, and 2 Temple Enforcers, plus Gruul, and Hogger? That's 5 cards that costs over half your mana, which means you can only play per turn. Not to mention the two Mind Control's already. That is 7 cards that you can only play one a turn on. Which when you think about it, is about 25% of your deck that you can only play one card a turn, possibly losing momentum. I found too many times these cards would sit in my hand for 3-6 turns just because I had no opportunity to play them. So without further ado, here are the changes I made:
Removed -Stormwind Champion -2x Temple Enforcer -Gruul -Hogger -Acidic Swamp Ooze -Silverhand Knight
Added +Mad Bomber +Nat Pagle +2x Gurubashi Berserker +2x Cabal Shadow Priest +Dark Iron Dwarf
I found this has much improved the flow of the deck (and it's cheaper!), the Berserker really gets buffed up and stays alive due to the hero ability. Never had a Gruul in my deck though, so I can't speak for how he might help, but I think the Berserkers are the better choice. I have been tempted to take out the Shadow Priests and instead use the Stampeding Kodo. It sorta/kinda effectively does the same thing for one mana less. I also removed the Ooze because the one-time weapon removal is much less effective than trying to kill low health enemy minions/imps with stealth with the bomber. Keep in mind this deck very often goes into the very late game, but you come out on top a lot! An even cheaper version would be to use Novice Engineer instead of Nat Pagle, for those of you on a budget.
Nope.
This deck is awesome! Carried me from 3-star rank 16 to rank 18 in a heartbeat. Oh wait...
I agree - this deck was slightly average before, now it's just no bueno. Needs a lot of tweaking.
I'm also finding serious challenges running this deck. I'm running at about only 25% with it. Shamans always seem to dominate it. And any aggro deck worth its salt also seem to stop this deck dead in its tracks.
It's a "fun" deck...but the meta is all about the aggro unfortunately. Using a few charges and taunts complete decimates this deck right now.
Confirmed after 20+ more games. This is just a horrible deck at Diamond+.
I guess i'm playing this deck all wrong, because I've had hardly any wins with this deck at all! Been using this at ranked 3 star diamond, but after 5 straight losses I moved to unranked to lessen the impact on my MMR. I think I played about 20-22 matches with this deck, even swapped out Gruul for Ragnaros, but lost almost every time. And they weren't close losses, most times I would barely make a scratch on the heroes health!
I've read through the comments & watched the video that have been posted here, the main thing people bring up is to take your time, but if I'm down 10-15 health by turn 5-6 then it's normally all over by then anyway!
Can someone give me some tips as to what I might be doing wrong, or how best to play this deck?
Thanks
sick nasty deck, i did some modifications for cards i didn't have but man what a deck!!!
how well does Ragnoras work with this deck? if so, what should be replaced?
This is a wonderful deck, thanks for posting it! I am fairly new to Hearthstone, and i am struggling to get dust to craft Gruul and Hogger. What is the fastest way to obtain dust? And is there any other cards i can use to take there place until i can obtain them?
Thanks for the help! :)
Great deck! Played about 25 games with it and only lost to a few shaman and a lock. All of those games I didn't get holy nova drawn. You must be patient with this deck. You will take some lumps in the early game but make sure to keep their board in check with your nukes. Then bring out the big guns and it is GG.
Im trying out this deck and so far the results are amazing. 67% win rate atm and im at 1 star masters with it. will keep u updated of my stats
Would love for someone to post a youtube video of a few playthroughs, explanations of strategy etc. I am not entirely sure when to play and when to hold.
Great deck, thanks!
There are a few alterations to the Legendaries
This deck is like Jesus on a pogo. I feel like hacking when playing this D:
Honestly -- this deck is great. I feel Ragnaros is a better addition than Gruul, however(especially after the nerf). In my opinion, he's just a bigger threat. Leave him alone, 8 damage is coming, no matter what. Silence him, and he's still an 8/8.
I feel you could be right. Ragnaros is great so is Velen. I've noticed about the same level of success with both. My main problem with Ragnaros is a Mind Control = 8 Damage automatically to me or 1 of my minions. Gruul is definitely the "question" mark card in this deck. Multiple legendaries would work including Ysera.
I will be writing a detailed guide for this deck in the next day or two since I've had several requests. Any more input on the deck would be appreciated.
