Oh yeah also not to mention the fact that the whole tournament was streamed on some random shitty site that would crash every 5 minutes instead of just using Twitch because they were sponsored by that site.

it is a pretty strange feeling when the guy who originally came up with the freezemage deck RDU used there is a guy who regulars in a channel you are in and started out playing Hearthstone just like any regular guy, and now his deck is gonna become very popular, even Artosis complimented it at some point.

Fuck that, I've disenchanted so much shit (2 Groms, Cenarius, almost all my cards at one point)

In Arena.

'Now is the prefect time to play this Earth Elemental!'

*Topdecked by a Black Knight*

FML.

===

Also, I present Priest Aggro Version 2; because if I have to play Constructed I'll do it in the weirdest way damnit!

Priest Aggro Version 1 was more of a 'I steal your bursty cards and whittle you down then Double Mind Blast'. This deck, while not exactly 10/10 is a great laugh to play and is actually quite flexiable.

At the start of the game, it simply looks like a Normal Priest deck. You've got your Clerics; your PWS; your beefy minions like Yhetees and Harvests; Holy Smites...

And it seems most people don't really notice the cumulative damage happening due to things like the Abominations [Which work really well in this deck I've been finding] and the Gnomes. But they aren't too out there for Priests.

But I'm really doing two things:
1- Milling cards to get my burst. There's quite a lot of card-draw in this deck! Acolyte; PWS; Cleric and Drake.
2- Slowly building up attrition damage.

And then suddenly out of nowhere they're tipped off something is up when I dump down a Nightblade and they realize they're on 10 HP.

You think Mage 10 Mana burst is bad [Fireball x2 and Frostbolt]? This deck can match it, 15 for 15. [Mind Blast x2 and Holy Fire]. Except NO-ONE EXPECTS A PRIEST TO HAVE THAT KIND OF FIREPOWER.

In fact, between all of the cards in the deck, without even attacking I can deal:
4 Damage - Gnomes
+ 4 Damage = 8 [Smites]
+ 4 damage = 12 [Novas]
+ 6 damage = 18 [Nightblades]
+ 4 damage = 22 [Abominations]
+10 damage = 32 [Holy Fires]
+ 10 damage = 42 [Mind Blasts]

42 direct damage in a Priest deck? Yeah that's pretty scary.

I'm considering dropping the Mind Controls. There's quite a few options of what I could really go for. I could go Soulpreist or even Shadowform, I could go Shadow Madness or Shadow Words. I could add something like a Sheildmasta or some low-cost neutral minion to help smooth my curve away from 5. Or I could just dump in something that gives me even more staying power like Earthen Ring or more milling power like a Loot Hoarder.

Also Nightblade I've found isn't even that useful in this sort of deck. Might drop those too. I spike too much at 5/6 with the Drakes, Holy Fires Aboms and Novas anyway.

...

I wish I had a couple of Legends to help this deck out. *Cough; Velen*

What would you guys do to polish this deck up? Try not to suggests Legends or too many Epics; I don't have that many cards. Most Rares and below are fine tho.

I'd drop the Nightblades for Soulpriests, but that's because I'm a fan. Plus it helps with the curve. Granted I haven't played constructed in ages.

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #251 on:** June 18, 2014, 12:01:41 AM »

Two mind controls is overkill, one or none.
I also get the feeling that either of the northshire clerics or acolytes of pain should get the cut.

PX · « **Reply #252 on:** June 18, 2014, 01:01:31 AM »

What Dormio and Conq said, Archenais would be good, and the acolytes should go because they accomplish nothing. You can also tech in 1 shadowform over one of the MCs because having 2 in hand is complete suffering

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #253 on:** June 18, 2014, 01:30:23 AM »

To be honest I think that both the northshires and the acolytes should go.

Conqueror · « **Reply #254 on:** June 18, 2014, 01:31:05 AM »

B-b-but northshires D:

Raikaria · « **Reply #255 on:** June 18, 2014, 11:54:37 AM »

I actually have a few cool combos with the Acolytes; like using them in tandem with an Abom which guarantees two cards.

No way are the Clerics going. A big thing this deck does is mill through the deck to get the burst.

Thing that makes me hesitant on Soulpreist is it makes me kill myself with Novas and Holy Fires.

I guess I could drop the Acolytes. Could always stick in Loot Hoarders, or even Coldlights for the deck mill power to find my burst. Or get utility like SWP.

===

Edit: Made me some changes:

Out:
Mind Controls
Nightblades
Acolytes

In:
Senjin Sheildmasta
Coldlight Oracle
Earthen Ring Farseer

Basically; more reliable mill; and more sticking power. Oracles have saved me twice already with lategame draws into lethal. Also this gives me a second win condition; particularly against other Priests: Deck them out and simply deal more damage to win Fatigue. Oracles are strictly for extra card-draw lategame; they get tossed if they turn up in the starting hand. Drawing into a Holy Fire is very useful!

Hit Rank 15 [High as I've ever bothered because I don't have good Legends] and still winning.

Also dear god I've never appreciated Holy Fire before this deck.

Suikama · « **Reply #256 on:** June 18, 2014, 11:05:28 PM »

Holy Fire is super good in priest because they have relatively poor lethal power

Also +5 HP heal is pretty amazing too

Raikaria · « **Reply #257 on:** June 19, 2014, 03:59:38 PM »

Played some more constructed and this Priest deck has now gotten me to Rank 13; on a large win streak [Got 3 stars for my last win]

I've never been above Rank 15 partly for not bothering and partly for not having a good deck.

But man, if there were three legendaries I could add to make this deck even better it's Velen, Rag and Geddon [Fits the attrition damage]

Seriously this is the most passive-aggressive deck I've ever seen.

Also I feel really sorry for every single Warlock I fight with tbhis deck. 'Oh it's a Preist I'm safe to get my HP low with Life Taps and Flame Imps and 'BOOM'*. Turn 7 or sooner kills are not uncommon. Once I had a game vs Warlock go:

Warlock - Flame Imp
Me - Leper Gnome
- Warlock - Tap; Trade for Gnome
*Commence rubbing hands in glee as I play a Harvest Golem and basically win on Turn 6*

Seriously; Warlocks do my job for me.

Rouges and Shamans like to suicide too. Warriors less so.

Just unlocking all the default cards right now. Only fully unlocked Mage and Warlock.

So, how do I add people?!

I'm starting to get just a little annoyed of a recent inability to get past 5 wins in arena because my opponents literally always have the exact answer they need; while my drafts don't give me core cards.

I had 2 Mage Drafts in a row without any Flamestrikes showing up; and one had No Polys while the other had No Fireballs.

I had a Rouge which had no Eviscerates.

I had a Hunter with no Hounds or Companions

Meanwhile; I've had nearly certain wins due to things like a Rouge having a Sap and Cold Blood in hand and topdecking LEEROY

Mukla is good though for coldlight rogue decks
