Nomnomnomnomnomnom.... EZ Legend! :-D Heh heh heh!
XD XD XD
But seriously, it appears that many seem to be playing this deck right now. I noticed there was a new Trump video for it in my YT feed, so I assume that's at least part of the cause. I don't really see what the fuss is as it seems to be quite easy to beat. However, that said - I have to assume to that it must be good enough that people are having trouble with it.
So, to that end, I present to you my Wall-Priest-Killer deck. (Patented and Tested*)
To the untrained eye, this may just appear to be Spiteful Priest, but don't be fooled by the pretences! It is in fact, a whole new different version of Spiteful Priest! (I changed some cards... yes, that counts.... :-P )
The beauty of this deck for facing Wall Priest is that those walls are much less useful to him when they don't belong to him anymore! *Maniacal Laugh*
This deck may not be Tier 1, and isn't going to break the meta - and you may as well auto-concede against Odd paladin (Scum of the Earth) - but my god is it fun to play. :-D And satisfying.... so satisfying.
So go ahead, Traveller. Have fun. Wreck those wall priest nubs! And when you come back with satisfied gleams of smugness in your eye, buy ol' Scorpyon a drink here at the Tavern.
(But if you don't come back with the pride of winning, don't be mad at me; everyone knows Spiteful Priest sucks, right? Right?)
* - may look similar to other Spiteful Priest decks, but now with added OTK-Killing Technology (TM) - guaranteed to kill 99.9% of OTK decks. Your results may vary. No refunds accepted. Batteries not included.
I've been enjoying games against that deck as well. It seems to really struggle against Baku Control Warrior since you can easily keep their threatening minions off the board and stay out of range of combo on their their Tar Creepers. Leeroy tech works against it the same way it works against Bingo Priest (Whelps mess with their res pool). Big Spell Mage seems to have a decent matchup as well. Polymorphing the 2/14s and using Meteors/Voodoo Dolls to deal with resurrected Grizzlies seems to make things quite straightforward. Skulking Geist means they are relying on their single copy of Topsy to one shot you, and it is very tough for them to connect more than one face hit through removal and freezes, making Vaporize off of Keysmith potentially game-winning. Not to mention Counter Spell and Spellbender can complicate things for them a lot. The deck seemed pretty broken at a first glance but it actually has tons of exploitable weaknesses. Build probably isn't optimised yet but bring on more of these, I'm interested to see where the archetype goes.
I guess it sort of reminds me a little of Taunt Druid - but I think that the druid deck was a lot stronger thanks to it's continual rinse and refill mechanics with Witching Hour and Hadronox.
I get the impression that Wall Priest is trying to pseudo-copy this with the Spellstones, but it just looks clunky to me.
But yeah, as long as you can interact with the board and save your hard removal / counters for the right targets, it's pretty easy to win against the deck most of the time. Sure, you might get an odd match where they get the perfect draws or you find all your removals sitting bottom of your deck. But that's Hearthstone! :-)
I'm glad you could easily win vs the deck however most other decks do not which is why I play it at least. However it just works as long as the meta is slow enough.
My version would possibly work vs you because I can deal up to 40 damage from hand and/or get through any stolen taunts (mass dispell and stormwind knight).

I thinks he uses mass dispel to silence the taunts and does the combo the next turn.
Ah right. Depends on the situation of course, but I normally find the priest is pretty much dead if they don't clear my board due to the power of the cards like Crowd Roaster and The Lich King etc.
Being a tempo deck, it just piles the pressure on repeatedly. Every time Wall Priest throws up a big taunt, the deck steals / removes it and hits face with more damage. At least, that's how most of my games (if not all) have gone so far.
I’ve seen this wall priest every other game today. Priest just has way too many controls right now... Remember when we said this was going to be a hunter meta last month? lol rite
i've been playing the spiteful priest list that thijs was playing at high legend with Bwonsamdi, the Dead, Princess Talanji, etc. It's pretty well rounded and spicy in this meta where just playing some big dudes is good. Spirit of the Dead is is pretty fun too.

Nice :-) I don't have either of those two legendaries myself. Didnt get any of the Priest stuff yet from Rastakhan (Legendarywise)
Waitwaitwait. . Are you guys telling me that Spiteful Summoner is being played again? With good effect?
But..... I dusted both of mine after the Nerf...
Shit..
yeah spiteful druid and priest are pretty good right now, both have been in top 20 legend recently. Less decks/cards that can deal with huge minions as easily and less snowbally aggro. A lot of control/combo are more focused on aoe and cheap/weaker removal.
Spiteful priest has gas for days. I'm fatiguing odd warriors and combo decks just don't have enough answers and get overwhelmed. I haven't played a mage yet which might be hard because of jaina but it doesn't seem impossible.
Nomnomnomnomnomnom.... EZ Legend! :-D

Mass Dispel (4 mana) + Stormwind Knight (4 mana) + ??
Divine Spirit (2 mana) + Topsy Turvy (0 mana) ?
That's 10 damage.
How do you make 40?
The Mass Dispel would be required since the opponent normally has no minions left on his board and has to get through (usually) 2-4 taunts on my side.
I thinks he uses mass dispel to silence the taunts and does the combo the next turn.
Ah right.
Depends on the situation of course, but I normally find the priest is pretty much dead if they don't clear my board due to the power of the cards like Crowd Roaster and The Lich King etc.

At least, that's how most of my games (if not all) have gone so far.
I'll give it a try, because I'm 100 wins away of my golden Anduin and there aren Priest decks I find fun to play with.
Have you thought about adding at least one Free From Amber and a couple Mind Control Tech?
Yeah that's it ;-) mostly by that time there are no taunts to play anymore. Otherwise psychic scream helps beforehand as well.
If you have one 5 hp minion on board than the mass dispell has the same effect as stormwind
I’ve seen this wall priest every other game today. Priest just has way too many controls right now... Remember when we said this was going to be a hunter meta last month? lol rite
There's 2 of each of those in the deck...?
Otherwise, I dont follow...
