Awesome write-up/guide.  Thanks!

You should really look at the Wild section of the Viscious Syndicate website to review the Tier 1 decks and go from there.  Warlock probably does have the most Tier 1 options, but I didn’t review your card list.

Maybe it could just be a good tech card against fatigue decks and doesn’t have to be anything more than that. I also like what someone said about it being a possibility to get from Rafaam in the late game.

Thanks for the updates, CheeseEtc!  Great write-up again.  I’m glad you have a lot of spare time on your hands!  ;-)

So, I can play Duskfallen Aviana now and not die next turn?

Wow!  Thanks for the info!

Any possibility that the fortune teller could be the 5th villain in disguise?  The tentacle makes me think she might really be one of the Legendaries from “Whispers of the Old Gods” masquerading as a fortune teller or in an alternate form.

do you want me to give you a link to a deck or two that are pretty funny that has Dollmaster Dorian?

 hell yes!

 

 Same. Experiment a lot with dorian but any advice can be good! 

Someone on my friends list uses Dorian in their all Legendary Wild deck.  I’ve spectated and seen at least one great moment where it pulled Rag.  Seeing that deck in action a couple of times, I can think of a lot of other great possible scenarios (ie Emporer Thaurissan, Stalagg/Feugen..).  I think Dorian may  be under-valued in Wild after watching it in action.

First off,  this was an excellent right-up/thread, so thanks for posting.  I do have some different thought about Priest, though.  Even if I’m wrong about my prediction below, Priest players should relax.  Blizzard is not going to let Priest die.  They will reprint useful Priest cards.  Don’t worry.  If anything they will help them out more than others because they have struggled in Standard Tier 1 for too long.

I know it looks like Clone Priest is doomed in Standard, but I predict it’s going to be back in a new form.  I say this because Zerek’s Cloning Gallery is not going anywhere.  This card is too, good, too fun, and too much “in the spirit of Priest” play to become a dead card.  There are two new cards that could help build a new type of Clone Priest—Senace and Princess Talanji.  Right now, Talanji is more of a ”fun” card, but I can see her being more impactful in the future.  If you were to Seance your Velen and Malygos, you could play them both with Talanji.  The problem is that you need something to discount your Mind Blasts by one ( because Radiant Elemental is rotating).  You also need something to discount Maly in order to Seance because Maly and ZCG both cost nine.  Anyway, I do think Zerek’s Cloning Gallery/Seance/Princess Talanji could be the backbone of Clone Priest after rotation, in some form of another.  Any thoughts?

Edit: I suppose you could discount Talanji with Spirit if the Dead?  Then, you could play  Velen and  Malygos (via Talanji), plus two Mind Blasts and two Holy Smites on the same turn for seven mana?  I guess you would first have to discount Maly with Spirit of the Dead to Seance on the same turn.... 

This is perhaps the best Tavern Brawl in the 8th months I’ve been playing!  I normally don’t play them more than a couple of times, but I’ve been playing these nonstop.  I know that they have stressed class identity lately, and I really feel like they nailed it with these shrines and decks.  The classes feel like they should and not generic.  specialties really shine.  Warlock discardlock feels incredible, too.  It’s nice to see the possibility that it is actually quite playable.  Priest damage is also a crazy, fun way to play.  Several of these decks feel absolutely OP.  I’m hopeful to see more of this specialization and flavor in the next couple of explanations.

Edit:  Druid feels good, too.  I love the big beast theme.  I like this direction for Druid post-nerf.  I’m okay with cheating out big beasts as an alternative to ramp.  Makes the game interesting...

Enjoyed the watch.  Thanks!

I wasn’t playing Hearthstone back then, but I do feel like I remember something...?  Maybe even something about this..?  IDK...  Do I?

What's the point of duskfallen when we have dreampetal florist that's does something for certain at least once and doesnt do anything for opponent.

That IS a very good question.  Maybe the design team will answer it for us in the next couple of expansions.  I am predicting that Druid will be very good again soon.  I really think that after the major nerfs to Druid, they actually do have a clear direction for Druid that will begin to unravel.  I also don’t think that they are going to let Druid wallow in misery for very long.  That won’t be good for us players, the game or Blizzard.  Gonk decks are going to get an upgrade soon, too.  I feel it my bones.  We’ll all be Gonkin’ it up in a couple of months.

Yoyo! 

Have to agree with my colleagues here. The only use I can think of, is when Asmodeus tried to make it work in its video series called " Crappy Card Challenge" (crappy card is what the new Avianna unfortunately is):

But again, its one of those filler legendaries. Im quite confident that it won't see play under no circumstances. So many cards are just a better inclusion.  

That was a pretty entertaining watch.  I had no idea that series existed.  Thanks for posting it.

Wait, I've got it!

You play BOTH Duskfallen Aviana and Harbinger Celestia on the same turn!
Think about it, if your opponent then tries to play a huge minion for free, Celestia becomes a copy of it.
If your opponent chooses to play a crap minion, they waste their free mana minion!

Also, your opponent may simply cease to function and not play anything after having their mind shattered by seeing both Duskfallen Aviana and Harbinger Celestia played on the same turn. It just won't compute.

/sarcasm

Hahahaha!  That’s so hilariously great!   ;-)  But seriously, that just might work.  Of course, you would have to put BOTH of those cards in your deck...
