I'm playing mage in arena, did not draft well at all. No frostbolt or fireballs or flamestrikes. Think I ended up with like 24 minions and 6 random spells. Great for battling for board, but if I lose it, gg. Straight up, 3 freaking games in a row, I lose to pyroblast, the worst coming from a hunter who bm me for 3 turns spamming "well played" before blowing up my face because of spellslinger while I got deadly poison.
Another run play priest, that was the best option.. And I entomb the legendary who equips a weapon. we're both at fatigue and he got ashbringer the turn before. I get cursed freaking blade
If I get a terrible mulligan and my opponent doesn't doesn't send anything back as shaman I usually think about it. But I figure I only have to wait 4 turns before the game is decided so I might as well wait it out and see what happens
So I was just playing against a C'Thun priest and killed his C'Thun expecting it to be reshuffled into his deck with Doomcaller and of course it was. He played another copy of it while C'Thun was still in his deck, but he ended up playing him 3 times total. This was the first time I've seen it, but should it have added a 3rd copy if the second was in his deck? Does that technically not count as being revived?
Could be worse. I once went against astral > dragon that draws double cards > ancient of lore > sylvanas > kel thuzad. Was the most bs thing I've ever seen. Whenever I go against that deck it's always turn 1 astral..
I'm a little confused how Onyxia helps you stabilize against aggro decks, that is already the strength of dragon priest. Paletress is a win more card imo, but she is great against fatigue decks. my favorite combo with her is hero power > acid maw > holy nova. insta concede when it happens.
we are losing lightbomb, if we dont get some good aoe as a replacement it might find a spot. I'm still trying to figure out what to replace my shrinkmeister with, and if museum curator is still worth a spot. i love the discover affect, but against aggro or if i dont get a good early drop out of it, the card really hurts
I love when I play arena and go up against a rogue with 2x fan of knives, 2x dread corsair, Reno Jackson, Leeroy Jenkins and assassin blade+ tinker's sharpsword oil or a warlock with 2x imp gang boss. perfectly timed owl, power overwhelming on his voidcaller which he then uses shadowflame on to pull out a doom guard when my best card is a spellslinger..
I got thoroughly outplayed in a control warrior mirror matchup, i drew terribly all game. Golden monkey gave me ysera, paletress and last card when we were both in fatigue, him 6 cards deeper, RENO FREAKING JACKSON. He insta concede. Feels good
Unless you go full tempo I would honestly ditch the arcane missiles. I dont really see you needing the nova/doomsayer combo, that's really only for freeze mage. This frees up 4 minions, which could be shredders, senjins, water elemental (great choice)
I would probably pull 1-2 blizzard, but I've been caught overextending by mage running double flamestrike to consider dropping one.
I would recommend keeping that pyroblast. That's almost essential to beating a control warrior, priest or handlock. As a priest main I've won so many games after getting cut down to 4-8 health after they've used their fireballs, knowing I'm safe
I just lost with my control warrior to a priest who used Mind Control my Ysera and then used Recombobulator on it rather than on my Cruel Taskmaster. I have never been so embarrassed in my life...

I disagree. I feel like casual is people try harding with net decks or playing face hunter/zoo

Lightbomb. Havent seen all the new cards yet, but that was priests most efficient removal.

I always try and save this combo against warlocks, they got too greedy with hero power against priest, not expecting us to have any burst from hand

I really want rogue, but I don't know how to play rogue :(
Guess I'll have to settle for priest when I finally get there

Patron is still alive. It has just changed to no longer be a OTK. Still a pretty strong deck and works well against aggro
