I enjoy that there is more than one archetype of priest now, the new stealing cards are very interesting in my opinion, too. So many people complaining about the games being too long... I actually enjoy games that are not just decided by who can do more face damage within the first five turns. Some people like games that take more than five minutes where you have to think several turns ahead and try to create as much value as possible.
You play an aggressive deck and hate playing against priest(or any kind of control deck) because you lose after 15 minutes+? You clearly doing something wrong, if you can't tell the game is over when your aggrodeck hasn't beaten the other deck by turn 10 and you keep playing, that is your own fault. I played against a face hunter yesterday who only conceded after he played the very last card in his deck. I was at 20+ health the whole game and had have control over the board since turn 5. But it sure was my fault the game took so long...
People who don't play aggro always say that "aggro takes no skill", just cos the game plan is to kill the opponent fast doesn't mean that you don't need to think few turns ahead.
Simply put: Aggro = proactive plays to kill the opponent quickly, Control = reactive plays to counter your opponents plays and reach your own win condition.Midrange and some combo decks are harder to pilot than aggro and control decks. Control decks often have as easy games as aggro games and the fact that the game took 5-10 more turns to complete don't make it reguire more skill, even in control vs control match ups. Sure sometimes you can have "epic" long games where you outplay your opponent, but you can have epic fast games with aggro decks where you outplay your opponent or know when to trade or drag the game out few more turns so that you get the win.
Midrange decks in MTG for example can be the hardest to pilot since you need to understand at all times wheter you are the aggressor or you try to control the game and a single miss play can lose the game
Where did I say anything about skill? Why is it that every thread in this forums turnes into "aGgrO iS fOrr dUmBdUMbs - nO cOnTroL iS FoR dUMbDumBs"? I was talking about what I enjoy since a lot of people are saying that Nobody enjoys long matches, which is just not true. You go ahead and play you aggro or midrange and enjoy those games, good for you as long as you have fun. Btw I play everything, aggro, midrange, control, combo, mill, I just tend to enjoy games more where I get to play more than five cards. No matter if I win or lose.
If you mean the last part where I mentioned the face - hunter refusing to give up, that is certainly a dumb move from his part, but I didn't say that all people playing that deck are idiots. Just this one was for sure. Many know when to concede though.
