Of course like everything its situational but like others said I feel mind control can just completely turn the game around. I wouldnt go as far to say that priests are as OP as pre nerf rouge but I always get this bad feeling when I see im facing a priest in arena lol. What makes mind control so powerful is the only good way to counteract it is to have board control well established or board removal but even then you are spending a turn and cards on killing your own creature. Sure you can play around and always assume he has a mind control but that makes the card just as powerful as it is acts as a deterent to play your big cards. Just my thoughts

So im having trouble facing against priest in arena. Im starting to get the feeling blizz went over board and made priest OP but maby ive just been having bad luck. For instance just now started arena crafted a very nice paladin deck steam rolled my first 3 opponents then I face a priest and I think to myself well here is my first lost and i was correct lol. Im sure a lot of it is gimicky but between cleric card draw, the two shadow word board control cards, light well, and mind control I just have a terrible time facing priest especially in arena. Even if I have a comfortable board control in the matter of one turn the table can be completely flipped on me. Anyway just want to hear what you guys think and any advice you might have when facing a priest.
