WTF??? People have REALLY bizarre notions of "must craft". Zola? Not seen it played ONCE. Sonya? MAYBE I've seen that card once. Kingsbane? If you like playing sub-50% winrate decks, yep MUST CRAFT. Solia? That saw VERY light play at the very beginning of the expansion, and that's it.
That said....I think 1XbenX1's point is valid. The expansions are pretty comparable in terms of "must craft".
That sounds cheesy, but it's true. The standard spiteful summoner deck has no removal otehr than the 10-mana cost mind control. All you need is a board clear to deal with it.
Also, if you develop a larger minion than he does, he has to trade all in to get rid of it or lose.
This deck only really ever wins if he plays something big and you have no way to answer it straight away.
I play a couple of silence minions which can sometimes get around your example and also help against cubelock a fair bit. I think swapping between Doomsayer, Curious Glimmerroot and Spellbreaker gives the deck some flexibility around countering other decks.

Fair enough - so far though, I've never had a priest manage to silence it yet. Also, I've noticed a lot of people running Dirty Rat against Summoner priest these days. That's got to be quite enjoyable too! Heh!
I feel like a sumbag even playing Priest, so ill never try it. Sounds good. However, i respecy myself enough not to be another one of "those" players.
George Carlin once said "Have you ever noticed that everyone else's stuff is shit ... but all your shit is stuff?"
That seems to be the case in the game ... Jade is Cancer ... Priests are scum ... but I am guessing that whatever deck / class that you play is none of the above ... correct?
Pro Tip: Just use the Ignore User button on trolls and you will never see them again.
On topic, like Big Priest Summoner also are pretty much RNG, can be fun and good sometimes. After a few games I always return to a Highlander Priest, not the tier 1 aggor version but a slower control version I find much more fun to play.
I've played Dragon priest, Dragon Raza, Raza without dragons, and Spiteful. SPiteful is, for me, the most fun. You DO lose out not having the full suite of priestly spells, but Duskbreaker is a board-clear, Spellbreaker a silence, and you can sometimes get something out of a curious glimmerroot.
Raza is arguably more powerful, but frustrating. I just edged out another Raza priest after we both drew late and took turns machine-gunning eachother with the hero power. It was a frustrating way to win, and most have been a soul-crushing way to lose.
I've been playing it pretty casually to Rank 4 in Wild this season. I think its big strength is that it covers early, mid and late game pretty well, whereas a lot of decks around right now are either Aggro which obviously focuses on the early game, or OTK decks like Razakus which bides its time until it has its combo pieces in the late game.
It has a reasonable chance against any deck in the current meta, there's no deck that really hard counters it. I've also been having better luck without Patches and his buddies and instead using traditional dragon support.

If thats the best pro tip ypu can give, then you are certainly no pro.
Im no troll. What i said was my opinion. This isnt just a thread for priest fan boys, bucko

Spiteful Summoner Priest has a HUGE weakness.
It's called Doomsayer + Taunt minion. Lol.

Hello!
Turns out spiteful Hunter is pretty good too.
