It shall be named : NEMESIS PRIEST
Introduction
Yes the deck seems weird when you look at the decklist
"Thats not enough early game minions" you´ll say when first looking at it.
Well, im gonna tell you something without wanting some votes first : i tried out different versions of priest, deck-doctored around with this version of priest, changed quite a lot and played it a shitton.
The current build is at 24 wins and 5 losses for me. Yes, sometimes vs an aggro deck you will draw your deck from bottom to top, but every other time no one can outvalue your board.
Counters .. ?
Hex / Polymorph my Obsidian Statue ? sure, i got many more threats buddy.
Devolve ? thx for the 8drops pal.
Flamestrike / Hellfire / Dragonfire Potion ? Lmao
Equality Consecration / Brawl / Twisting Nether ? Have i introduced you to my good friend N'Zoth, the Corruptor ?
another Brawl ? Oh good thing i took N'Zoth, the Corruptor back into my hand with Ysera´s spell.
The sheer value of this deck will make most of your opponents concede before you even got started with your combos. The key to winning is baiting out your opponents removals and clears.
Edit :
-1 Power Word: Shield , +1 Dragonfire Potion
Edit 2 : -2 Northshire Cleric, +1 Mass Dispel, +1 Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound
Tech cards are obviously Eater of Secrets and Skulking Geist
Mulligan guide (as promised)
Of course you want Northshire Cleric and Shadow Word: Pain
But keep in mind, that Shadow Visions your flexible answer to anything you want is.
Also always keep Mirage Caller, we dont want to lower the value of our Barnes. IF you play vs a warlock and your guess is that he is playing DK/Control-Lock then you can also keep N'Zoth, the Corruptor but only if your hand consists of Barnes and Shadow Word: Pain or Dragonfire Potion.
Never ever keep things like Ysera , Obsidian Statue or The Lich King
VS Hunter or Warrior you can keep Greater Healing Potion, but i prefer to try to get early game or removals and get heals through Shadow Visions.
BTW dont be afraid to Power Word: Shield enemy minions just for cycle. Just remember to put it on a minion you dont care, a small one without taunt or a minion you can Pain/Death
Barnes is almost always basically "GG"
Eternal Servitude will be as hated as Patches the Pirate was in a week, trust me.
Not important anymore (Edit) :
PS:
Mulligan guide ? 10 votes. wont put as much work into this here as with my "Ultimate Control priest" (http://bit.ly/2hSlBwt) last year, which was top 5 of the decks for almost a week, if no one is interested in this.
you want a guide ? tips ? show me that you want it.
This deck is really good, but the one thing I hate about it is that if you dont get near PERFECT draw against prettu much every single aggro deck you are literally screwed.
Such a nice deck man!!
Would you consider making a wild version for us wild players?
I reckon there's got to be better options available for inclusion on this deck on the wildside.
Are Mirage Callers entirely nessesary? They've ruined my Barnes three times in a row, I say!
I took out one mirage caller to help more consistentency with barnes and shadow essence and added a shadow word horror for more removal especially early game
Thjis has a version of this deck as well, so it just needs tweaking.
Ugh, just getting rolled by Evolve shamans today. I slotted in Skulking Geist, but never seem to get him in time
Glad to see an original EZ Big Priest decklist on hearthpwn finally, don't have the cards to play it but I'm glad you are seeing success with it ^.^
Random Question, why no Cairne Bloodhoof?
I'd say cause its one more minion you can pull from your spells, and the others (statue, ysera, lich king, y'shaarj) have way more value as 1/1s.
As a 1/1 that is easily killed, Ysera and The Lich King have a single card return (minimum) and Obsidian Statue has good return with lifesteal and a minion kill. Cairne Bloodhoof would net a 1/1 minion that when killed becomes a 4/5 (Baine Bloodhoof) which is another creature and a larger body. This isn't considered good value?
Well, yes it is. But the cards from Ysera and Lich King are better IMO. And also statue is amazing. I guess it's a matter of taste, I'm sure Cairne could work!
I have not played with this deck long but I'm sure it could be fine but Cairne is probably synergerizes better if you are playing Mistcaller.
Do note that Ysera and Lich can grab board wipes so I think I would rather get them than a slightly more consistent Cairne body.
I do agree that they are very good to have with the deck I was more curious the reasoning, and thank you for the insight.
So I don't have Arfus and decided to use Cairne Bloodhoof, one Eternal Servitude and 2 Mirage Callers later I had to smile at the turn in the game.
Great deck, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Any suggestions for playing vs highlander priest?
I dont know what happened, climed to rank 2, and then lost like 9 games in a row.
This is leaning towards being a high roll deck. If you draw bad, you just lose. Even if you have all the board clears/removal early, there are lots of decks that can play additional threats.
doesnt work at all for me hunters recks me at turn 5
which ranks did you advance with this deck?
what's my style? lmao . i've had golden priest for a couple years now
Dude, you're on full tilt right now and the guy literally asked you a simple question. How about instead of acting like a child right now you just answer his question?
