How is it possible to win against a priest who has rezz and gala.
I kill his minion, deathrattle 2/6 it will be back hundreds of times and destroys my board no matter what class I play (I dont play aggro) either gala rogue or highlander mage. I concede its just pointless, takes time and is just annoying I dont have the patience for this.
What are you doing when u face a priest?
I also feel like the whole world ignores priests. No pro plays it, its not even in the meta according to snapshot meta still I face them every second game. In 5 games 2 are against priests.
You can beat them with speed too. In wild my Face Mage deck is currently 8-4 vs Priest. In fact I made it to kill Priest and Face Hunter before they got started.
IMHO Resurrection is the worst implemented mechanic in the game. I don't mind it in games like this but Hearthstone has far too much of it. It's not that I can't beat it but it leaves a real taste of unfairness in your mouth. The amount of Rez actually makes me hate this game when I run into it often.
The last Rez Priest I played with Spell Mage in standard (Scorpion). He also decided to rope me. I never rope unless I am being roped. Well we both ran out of cards and with his healing he was going to win. Didn't matter, he roped the hell out of me all game so I roped him to the end. By the end he was cursing me every turn... karma. The game lasted almost 50 minutes. Not overly surprising in my experience to find out that someone playing Rez Priest is also a asshat. Not sure whether I hate Rez mechanic more or those people who play it to be a dick.
I am sure there are also fine people who play the mechanic.
2-0 right now with gala rogue, close games but could stick a minion now and then and chipped his health away and shadow step zephyrs came in clutch with first one for value and second one for big burst dmg
Control Shaman doing very well, just Hex and Murlocs his board and watch Res Priest cry.
exactly this or all spell mage with polymorphs or highlander mage running a polymorph and another one off of zeph. also magtheridon and maiev are great against priest.
Beat gala with gala it is just that simple. But for rez priest, I think the advises above are already enough. Not seeing that many rez priest compared to gala priest/ steal priest possibly bc I am at a lower level of the ladder.
Really depends. Proactive decks and strategies tend to work well. One of the biggest weaknesses of rez priest is how clunky it can be and how much the deck can just lose to itself. If you want to play more controlling decks, things they steal/transform there minions, make them go poof, or ways to generate really bad tokens for them are all really good tech cards. The deck is really good at going over the top or just tempoing decks out of the game with really good rez draws/rng, some hands are almost unbeatable, and long games tend to favor them. You can go over them with an early Reno in Highlander mage, but that relies on rnjesus to bless you.
Highlander mage is great against it. Arcane Breath into Poly, Zephrys into Poly, Evocation into Poly, Malygos into Poly, regular Poly, Counterspell or Spellbender for their Grave Ward or CS for Massrez. Solarian or Box into extra removal, or just remove them when your board is clear.
Or if you're having THAT much trouble tech in an Owl or something.
Gala priest does very well with vs it, plague of wrath wipes their whole board, shadow madness takes their stuff. Use shadow madness to kill their minions and keep them out of rez pool, kill and trade all the crap rez minions to pollute their pool. You have the same amount of value if not more in late game.
Any super aggro face deck, higlander hunter, tempo demon hunter. Gala rogue. Also any combo deck that one turn kills them.
Priest is not shit, i played gala priest to legend last season and i can say that my worst record was against quest warlock, they just OTK-ed me, and all in the heal in the world could not save me.

Tech in cards that are transforming, or summoning trash for them. You can not outlast gala value though.
Tempo DH, with the double silence over twin slice. GGWP
>i don't play aggro
Shame.
The 1st step towards a better game is firing Mike Donais! We had enough of his "skillful" balances!

Don't forget about Tinkmaster Overspark. It's great and fun card against priests)) I play him in my Highlander mage.
you win against priest by squelching their emotes!!! its the only way to win!!
Tempo dh. Easy prey
Get Gut!

If you don't hate the class, try Galakrond Priest. Beats rez in their own game.
It's not purely defensive. You eventually want to build a board and kill.
The best part against rez is stealing their stuff with a generated Cabal Shadow Priest
For other decks check the matchup page at hsreplay (here), look for the red numbers.
Gala rogue destroys priest. If you can't win with Gala rogue, nobody can help you.
A deck that it is very good against any form of priest is quest maly lock, because it could draw its combo easily against slow matchups.
Another option Vs ress priest is rogue. In fact galakrond priest is a bit harder than ress priest playing rogue.
For example I use this deck:
Gala priest does very well with vs it, plague of wrath wipes their whole board, shadow madness takes their stuff. Use shadow madness to kill their minions and keep them out of rez pool, kill and trade all the crap rez minions to pollute their pool. You have the same amount of value if not more in late game.
Any super aggro face deck, higlander hunter, tempo demon hunter. Gala rogue. Also any combo deck that one turn kills them.
priest is very shit... but very long borring games... you win like 80% of the time with pure paladin
Priest is not shit, i played gala priest to legend last season and i can say that my worst record was against quest warlock, they just OTK-ed me, and all in the heal in the world could not save me.
