Hi, all.

So today I managed to hit legend with Steal Priest.

I didn't made this thread, in order to brag about it (though I'm really sorry if someone gets this feeling), I just want to ask for a favour. The idea behind this deck was to make it partly a meme and to goof around on other players while still climbing. At first I ran more fun cards, but then I got overwhelmed by aggro and mid-range decks (what a surprise), so I excluded some of them. And right now I have a feeling, that I turned this deck into a serious one, that just features a weaker stealing package than a normal control list.

My problem is this - it's really easy to make a 100% serious deck list. You just exclude the weak, slow and clunky cards. And it's also very easy to make a full-blown meme deck - you just include the rest. But it's really difficult to make a good mix between them and to find the golden mean. So, do you have any ideas on how to "improve" the list in this regard?

Run talanjii, it would help the meme dream. I would cut 1 greater healing potion in favour of her. I would also maybe 2 northshires. These are just my thoughts though and you are the one in legend. Great job on that btw, im personally stuck at rank 5 with recruit warrior :D

TY, gl with your list.

Well, I don't have Talanji and I think my deck has enough late-game value. I was thinking about something like Chameleos.

I would consider cutting Doom Slayers, one Entomb and one Mass Hysteria for Blood Mage, one Spirit lash and two Death Ringers. I think you need more deck cycling. 

 If you go the deck list, you will see that I made a paragraph for alternative lists (which isn't finished, but I will work on it this evening). I know that this deck needs more cycling, but like I said, I need something to make it memeier.

Props for going to legend with Steal Priest.

I am personally trying to make Weasel Priest work in r5 :D

 I always wanted to play it, when it was in standard. But sadly for me I disenchanted the weasels back in MSoG.

and ty

If someone is interested, I added Chameleos instead of Potion of Madness/Spirit Lash in my deck. Well, I gotta say, that I achieved my goal - I made the deck more interesting to play. It became weaker versus aggro, but if I cared about winning, I would have went with an alternative list anyway.

So thanks everyone for your feedback,

Yeah, I remember you had a strong "affinity" for Thief priest decks. Such a shame, that you won't stay for my parade.

 Haha, yeah, that Spoiler is exactly the problem. It was the reason I stopped playing in the first place. My Ice Blocks were consistently copied by Priests, nearly every single game, the only relevant card was copied almost every time, made me furious haha.

Like so?

Ooh, we have a smartass over here. Respect. <3

Well, mate, I admit I can't beat your next-level plays. I will just have to rely on the stolen Coldlight Oracles/Research Projects to mill the combo pieces.
