What I dont understand is why are priests allowed to have so many board clears. How is the new 4 mana, destroy all minions with more than 5 attack even that low on cost? In a class that excels in clears. It's just one mana more from the prenerf version of SWD.
Because they originally didn’t. Blizz fucked up by making it so they had none and suffered for it originally. Now they give them one every expansion practically.
Rez priest is the only viable deck right now for this class. It's a different style of play, you don't like it that's your problem. Don't start asking Blizz to kill a class just because it annoys you. Back off, go and play your favorite class and shut up!
That's not true at all. Its just the start of the new meta, and has been such a dominant deck for so long, that people just switched out Mass Hysteria and kept playing it.
They need to rework the quest to not be so fucking mindless. It needs to function on minion buffs, and not on healing done.
Just to OP, it is good that there are at least some counters to DH aggro. I am actually glad that Priest is having few different kind of decks that are viable in current meta atm. One should also remember that its only few days since update and meta will change. So it is pointless to whine atm. Let us see how things are in 2-3 weeks

I am beating DH, mages, Druids and so on with highlander Priest (can't take credit for the list though) - and I don't have a single res card in my deck. Currently Diamond 8 on a winstreak. Res Priest is not the only option - like at all.
Lol I'll stop playing rez priest as soon as you stop trying to hit nothing but my face! Yeah, not going to happen is it :)
hahaahaa, fully agree with you... sorry to say others, but rez Priest is best deck against face decks. As there are so much face huntards, demon or not, will keep on play rez priest too

Not true, some Higlander decks are also viable, though not so effective against aggro as rez version

Because it's the strongest control class. All it has is the ability to control the board. It literally has no face damage cards whatsoever.
If you think it’s bad in Standard, don’t ever play wild because it’s much worse.
In not sure how anyone says it’s not a broken mechanic at this point. The deck is oppressive as hell and not just against face or aggro decks. A lot of decks such as midrange or control win the game by getting a decent board or making the opponent exhaust a lot of resources. Res priest can almost never lose that way, and if the opponent is using resources to destroy the priest’s minions the game is already over for them.
There are tech cards that you can run to try and dilute the pool of minions they can resurrect, but they are inconsistent. If you don’t have it in the opener and don’t get it before turn 5, you might as well concede. Running two of one these tech cards is unthinkable because of face / aggro decks. Often times playing one of these while already behind against a strong aggro opener is a death sentence. People who just say that tech cards exist and to stop complaint really need shut up. It’s such a condescending and ignorant take. If you get it after several turns it’s already too late for it. You play it early against an aggressive deck and it’s signing a death warrant. Too many decks can take advantage of a few tokens on the board to just rush you down
If you are trying to have fun in either standard or wild, or are trying a new deck that’s slower or control oriented, this style of priest absolutely ruins that. I can understand people conceding immediately or within a few turns against it. Its defeating to be experimenting with some unconventional minions or trying what you think is fun but may not be considered top tier in the meta, and you come up against a res priest. I play a lot of wild, and a lot of the time it feels completely hopeless. Pair it with the strongest board clears in the game and you have the most oppressive deck in the history of the game.

Ok, for me, it all depends on the stats on HSreplay (Americas). Both are Tier 2 Legend level. But starting at gold league and down Rez is T2 and HL is T3. Diamond level both are tier 3. So ok Rez is not the only option but stats says it all. Rez has a better win rate. This being said, I do agree with some other posts here saying Rez priest will thrive as long as the meta will be full of go face decks. If the meta was mostly control you wouldn't see so many Rez priests. Don't if it's the same in EU and Asia.

Thank you sir for actually using your brain. I'm so tired of people telling us not to complain. Then they turn around and complain about DH and shaman and rogue and everything else. But there's a clear issue with a deck that most people concede against within 1 or 2 turns. If it makes it that far
I just came from a game against a rez priest, open HearthPWN and this thread immediately catches my attention. My opponent did absolutely nothing (except heropower his face) until turn 5 and he still wins. But okay, I was playing a control deck, maybe it was my fault. Maybe I should've played an aggro deck and tried to kill him before he could build a board, right guys?
This archetype shouldn't exist. There shouldn't be a 2 mana spell that summons a 6/8 that summons a 4/8 with taunt, not to mention you literally can't build a board. It is not possible. Playing aggro? Your weak minions will never reach your opponent when he has a board filled with strong taunts that just keep coming back. Playing control? If you play few minions that are strong, all will be killed by the deathrattles. The only playstyle that could defeat this deck is OTK, and I hate OTK. I don't believe OTK decks are healthy for the game.
But that's just my opinion. I probably wouldn't be complaining if I played either rez priest or an OTK deck that could deal with rez priest, but neither of those decks seem fun to me in any way. I could imagine winning with rez priest even if my opponent had an invisible board, I could still just go face and keep building my board, nothing could stop me and I certainly didn't need to know what my opponent is building. Is that fun and/or interactive? Not for me. But again, I'm not playing rez priest, so I guess maybe it's fun for them or else they wouldn't play that way.

Terrorguard Escapee going to be around for the next 2 years.
Better then Zul'Drak Ritualist as guaranteed 1/1 is much safer then 1 drops these days.

i don't understand ppl playing this deck, really .. it is the most boring deck out there since HS came out
You kids scared about posting your hate with your main account or why so many fresh accounts
You realize there are only so many priests because it stomps DH? Its day two...chill.
Because it's the strongest control class. All it has is the ability to control the board. It literally has no face damage cards whatsoever.
Warlock is #1 now according to hsreplay
But that is for low ranks, Bronze to Gold to be exact and I think that will change in several days.

You carry wisdom beyond these mortal's comprehension.
