...then all over again. Always refreshing. Sometimes you loose to novice, sometimes you win better equipped guy. Today I played 9 games. 2 looses vs odd Paladin (last one barely); but 1 win over full odd Hunter with Priest. Then, victory over noob Kingsbane guy by playing 3/3 Ooze. Later, I lost to basic Shaman because of terrible draw. One game was won by hilarious top deck... Another lost after connection problem which prevented me to kill important 1hp guy by druid power... and so on...
If you don't have top decks (and don't care about it) and don't want to play against magical top decks every moment, then just play casual. Matchmaking balances everything in the end. I still wonder why are players so obsessed with getting a rank in this game - to only complain about 'always the same decks' and getting poor rewards after so much sweat?! Try to enjoy a single game experience.
I preordered The Witchwood. My decision is to spend money only on promotive offers like preorders (sometimes), Welcome bundle, Year of Mammoth bundle... Until now, I was opening mostly Classic, KotFT and Kobolds, so it remains to focus on UnGoro in hope to get Tar Creeper and Radiant Elemental just by opening packs. If not, I'll craft'em.
Indeed, I read your thread after your first post here. :) Luckily, I think I succeeded to avoid a lot of those traps for new players.
- Playing for 2 months - not a single card crafted (1475 dust + Ice Block + 500 possible)! I still weigh which are my preferred classes, fun decks to play, etc... and I'm waiting for The Witchwood... Thinking ahead.
- I haven't played a single Arena match. Not even used the free entry. Waiting for the rotation; and to get some experience, knowledge (by reading articles, comments, wikis...)
- I still play 85% of games in Casual (ranked: 15-20). Competitive HS isn't my top priority, at least at the moment. I'm just enjoying HS with more or less equal relaxing matchups where a lot of things work. To have fun is my primary reason for playing this game.
- Got Ozruk and Lorewalker Cho; and I haven't DE them yet. :P I'm not DE legendaries... Yet...
- In the beginning I rushed to much, often pressing NextTurn button to early, forgetting a lot of things, making misplays... Now, I'm able to predict moves and play around AoE; even make baits properly.
And, yeah, Priest is fun as you do a lot of stuff and you must make right decisions every moment.
Of course, it helps. I need as much advise as I can get. Thanks everybody.
I have one more question:
What is with the turn1 Northshire Cleric? Usually, 80%, this turns bad in my games, so I don't do it, very often, without coin and Power Word: Shield. On the other hand, if you wound your NC next turn, it's good.
Thank you for your replies. Always thought Circle of Healing is either to damage or to heal yours when enemy minions are intact. Good to know this now. ...Also, I'm aware the deck has to few minions. Usually, I don't drop more then 1 minion until midgame... I should change this.
Hi, I'm playing HS for 2 months. I started playing Priest by copying some starter/basic deck... and little by little I added/removed some cards. With very little knowledge, experience ...and limited card pool... I managed to construct this:
Little bit of everything. :) The results are: lot of wins and fun (often long and dramatic) gameplay experience (mostly on casual or low rank). Obviously, the deck looks funny in comparison with serious ones, but as I said I'm enjoying it, until I get better stuff (to craft Shadowreaper Anduin and pair it with Prophet Velen which I already have). Plus this deck pretty much works for me. For now, I'd like to tweak it a little, I hope with the help of you guys. You can find my card collection in the profile.
Here I'm listing some doubts (what to add, what to remove?):
- Circle of Healing - Not included. Either, I don't know how to play it, or usually I don't have enough minions early on the board. I heal with the hero power, spells and minions. No Auchenai Soulpriest, too.

But... the best are already at rank-23!

...when you can enjoy _it_ in abundance at rank 23?

Try removing Branching Paths, Fire Fly, Nourish?, Stonehill Defender, Tortollan Forager; add: 2X Ironwood Golem, 2X Crypt Lord... and 2X Oaken Summons to cheat those. Consider: Soul of the Forest, Cobalt Scalebane, Frostwolf Warlord, Savage Roar, Witchwood Grizzly, Wrath... I have good results with this (still a budget version). ...But, what do I know, as I'm rank 15. Though I my say I achieved numerous wins vs. Baku Hunter and several against Baku Paladin... Don't know how strong the deck is, but it's fun as hell.

Game1 - net deck
Game2 - novice
Game3 - net deck noob
Game4 - imaginative homebrew
Game5 - equal opponent

I have c. 15 wild cards... No buying wild packs with gold = no wild for me. Actually, they want that.

Why don't you all play casual?

77 packs - 5 legendaries. Only 12 epics. I have 10 epics from 27 KotFT packs. 203/385 - dust cards. No golden epic.

What you suggest? Versus which classes?

Here I'm listing some doubts (what to add, what to remove?):
- Silence - This, or: Mass Dispel?
- Holy Smite - Is this necessary? I keep this to clap something in the early game.
- Inner Fire - Is one enough? For lethal...
- Northshire Cleric - Autoinclude.
- Power Word: Shield - Autoinclude.
- Divine Spirit - ...
- Shadow Word: Pain - Autoinclude.
- Spirit Lash - AoE addition to Holy Nova.
- Shadow Word: Death - One or two?
- Thoughtsteal - Always good experience with this one (extra cards + spying).
- Unidentified Elixir - This substitutes stats changing minions.
- Lightspawn - Random priest minion... for Divine Spirit
- Priest of the Feast - This one won me numerous games. From 1 to 30 Hp. How to replace him after the rotation?
- Holy Nova - ...
- Holy Fire - I simply needed to include this one after several looses. Have helped me a lot of times.
- Temple Enforcer - Two bigger minions to substitute Boulderfist Ogres, haha. I think to replace one of them with Coffin Crasher.
- Lesser Diamond Spellstone - I'm not going anywhere without this one. After I got this card, I removed Eternal Servitude? Good or bad move?
- Obsidian Statue - Autoinclude. Insane card. Together with LDS.
- Mind Control - Is only one enough?
- Tainted Zealot - To pump damage to those 2 AoE spells. It will survive 2 damage from Spirit Lash, because of divine shield.
- Fungal Enchanter - I don't know why I run this minion. Probably, because I removed Darkscale Healer (already enough high cost minions) and Earthen Ring Farseer
- Injured Blademaster - Usual Priest's minion. Or not?
- Chillwind Yeti - Another 4 attack minion. Hard to get rid of him, as he serves me majestically. :)
- Gurubashi Berserker - Healing, Divine Spirit,Inner Fire combos...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Circle of Healing - Not included. Either, I don't know how to play it, or usually I don't have enough minions early on the board. I heal with the hero power, spells and minions. No Auchenai Soulpriest, too.
- Shadow Madness?
- Acidic Swamp Ooze or Gluttonous Ooze or Corrosive Sludge?
- Doomsayer?
- Stonehill Defender? Because the deck lacks taunt besides (revived ;) Obsidian Statue and Mind Control's victim.
- Deathaxe Punisher. Crap?
- Lone Champion to substitute Chillwind Yeti?
- Faceless Manipulator?
- Sunborne Val'kyr?
- Early minions?
- Witchwood?
- Something easy to craft?
