Been away for a bit, legend priest player, going to run your deck, looks wonderful. I'll report findings from play. <3

Update: Just dealt 40 damage with a single mindblast. This deck is not only good, but its going to make some really great youtube moments as it develops in the meta. lol.

At night I mess with experimental builds and share them, I tend to post my best working version again the next day.

Yeah, I've actually made some drastic changes for experimentation sake, that include 2x excavated evil, I'll keep updating this until it's dead for the dragon priest lovers. xD

Actually just posted a pretty big set of changes based upon the addition of excavated evil. More control oriented dragon priest, seems like it might be stronger.

Yeah tonight's all experimentation, so I'll probably mess with excavated evil at some point as well. Already traded entombs out and dropped ysera for rag lol.

For sure, I don't think there's any question that Res priest is the dominant model atm, but I certainly think that it was time to open discussion on dragon priest again with the new cards. I bet by the time this thread is dead there will be a better dragon priest than my first version, for sure. :D

If you'll note that on one of the deck showcases above it was shown doing fine at rank 12, but it's not without it's weaknesses for sure. No part of my post suggested instant legend, that's just not a thing. I'm not even amazing at the game, I just enjoy playing and like creating decks with some combination of playability and aesthetic or theme. (Old magic player habit)

I would note though that when falling behind on board control you have tons of removal, 2 novas, and chillmaw, to wipe with. 

I will say that when you get a bad hand it can be kinda crippling in a way, but the deck is kinda combo oriented so that's going to be a thing. 

Sorry if this wasn't what you're looking for, perhaps you'd like to post suggestions on a workable dragon priest. c:

I did post however, a new version focused purely on tempo. Check it out. c:

Actually this is the best solution I've seen. Excavated Evil serves a similar function.

You're welcome. c:

Nefarian might be passable, but the problem is finding something that saves games the way chillmaw does.

If you watch the deck spotlight above you'll see examples of why chillmaw is essential, though if I were to replace him with something it'd be rag, geddon, sylv, or maybe even bog lol.

How many games did you play? I have had bad luck before with great decks, not even talking about this one. My point is that unless you test a deck for 15-20 games you don't really have an accurate summary of how the deck performs.  

Aggro is the easiest thing for this deck, it's worst matchup is ramp druid, which isn't very common. Bad rng happens homie.

If all else fails check the deck showcase above or check my stream to see how to play it the way that is working for others. c:

In my opinion Chillmaw is the most important thing in the deck, it saves you in tough match ups. However I could see Geddon providing a somewhat similar function? Give it a shot and see, I'd love to hear feedback.

Yeah to be honest that's one of my favorite parts about it as well. lol

Glad you like it! :D
