How many Keleseths can you play in Priest?  I'm up to 5.

edit: scratch that, 6.

 Where is the 6th one? I'm not seeing it.

 Right after I made that post, I drew Keleseth and my opponent conceded before I could play it.

Had a maiden run with a meme RNG/thief priest I put together, very first game I faced Hadronox druid. Needless to say, by the end of the game, I had his Hadronox and a taunt wall of Lich Kings.

I know it's not much of an achievement, but I finally climbed to rank 5! Crazy day--I only needed one more win to get there, but I lost to a Hunter (figures...) and proceeded to lose 2 more games. But I followed that up with 4 straight wins, and I'm finally a few ranks closer to legend! 

transform jaraxxus...into jaraxxus.

I have no idea where in the North America region it's still Sunday at 0937 GMT but wherever it was, thank you for keeping Tavern Brawl open for me to get my card-back!

Yeaa boi. Veni, vidi, diripuit.

Rank Legend comes closer and closer. Tomorrow I will enter heroic mode and I expect to see various aggro decks and lots of tryharders. I expect to see many "friend" requests coming from sore losers. It will certainly be a challenge and tbh I don't know if I will make it, but BOI the journey was really fun. I have reached legend before (4 times with control warlock in standard), but never before have I climbed so high with a half-serious deck. I really enjoyed the times, when I played as warlock, but I didn't have the possibility to goof around like I do now with this deck. In the past I played steal priest only in casual or in the lower wild ranks. But what joy is to annoy others on the ladder with a greedy strategy like this. I think I can describe this feeling with a video:

Anyway here are some of today's moments:

I never thought this would turn into a ridiculous game, else I would have taken more screenshots. So, let me begin the explanation:

Since I run a lot of stealing deathrattle minions, one of those gave me Play Dead. I was just about to coin out Sludge Belcher, when I drew Sylvanas Windrunner. I thought of this combo-wombo potential, but decided to stick to developing a board (i.e. playing belcher) and not being greedy, since my opponent was playing hunter after all. On turn 6 I played Sylvanas and after some trades I managed to steal a Carnivorous Cube that had swallowed Devilsaurs. I cast Play Dead on it and had a nice board. My opponent had his own Sylvanas and they tried to get their cube back by playing their own Play Dead on her, but sadly for them they missed and I Entomb-ed her. Twilight's Call into the other stealing deathrattle, into Deathstalker Rexxar. In the mean time I was listening to this song:

My beloved hunter opponent decided to play a 9/9 King Krush, which of course got Entomb-ed as well.

Aww, I was just starting to have fun. :C

Blizzard, give Anduin the demon enslaver title. Geez:

inb4 take a look at the golden Amara, Warden of Hope for a moment. That's right, I stole Zola the Gorgon for a second time. So with 2 big heals and half of their deck, what could they possibly do to beat me?

Wow, that's a cool looking combo. It would be a shame, if someone kept their DK just for this moment. :P
.............................................................................................................................................................................................

And a quick mention for my last two games. So I faced this Reno mage, that obviously tech-ed 3 polymorphs against big priest. Kinda felt bad for them, that they had no chances against me (especially after I played Archbishop Benedictus on curve). After I played him, my opponent paused for a while.They were probably thinking how they don't have any chances in out-valuing me anymore. And can you imagine the surprise for both of us after we got matched for a second time? My opponent was exceptionally pleased seeing Archbishop Benedictus being played on curve again (tbh he was on turn 6 with The Coin). Right afterwards my opponent paused again. I would like to think, that they were raging about getting matched against me for a second time and that I had my old pal Benedictus early on, that they were going to lose yet another star. So in that moment of sorrow, they decided to change their strategy. They started hitting me in the face. And tbh my opponent did the right thing, but sadly for them I had healing potions and Amara.

I have to admit, that my opponent was a fighter in both games. In the second one he stayed, until their fatigue counter reached 10.

Tomorrow will be the moment of truth.

No pics this time, because my games weren't exciting at all. I was right about the aggro MUs - from rank 1* to 1**** I faced only even shamans (which is mid-range but still), then a pirate warrior twice (won a game and lost a game), played against Big Priest and against Even Shaman again. In all of those games (except the Big Priest) I just played an ordinary control deck and tried to survive. There's nothing worth noting.

 Congratulations man! 

Feels good, man.

Though this new card Soulwarden kinda potentialy rains on my parade.

Farming Hunters with Mage and Rogue, FeelsFreakingGoodMan.

When your control deck is actually a tempo deck.

These people who lucky things happened to them are the opponents of the salt thread people

There is nothing I like more than making a Big Priest player rage quit luuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllll (played Prince Taldaram on Mal'Ganis and Cubed the copy of Mal'Ganis because he wasted his only Silence on a Voidlord)

Had the hunter quest normally play token druid ATM but needed three wins for the gold. Posting in the pepper thread as i won but how can this be right on turn 4 ?

I crafted Spiteful Summoner again to try to rock out some Spiteful Druid because of the nerfs. I have went 2-0 so far. Feels good, man.

It was fun watching a Hakkar/Quest Priest die to all the Corrupted Bloods shuffled into his deck, all while I didn't draw a single one in 5+ turns. Merry Christmas, bitch!
