Control Priest Deck List

Recommended Posts

Also why no shadow visions?

The deck does not run any crucial spells (such as the Inner Fire combo) and does not have the means to do a miracle-lie combo either (with Lyra the Sunshard), so there isn't really need for a 2-mana cycle.

Hunters and druids (with the exception of jade) are actually great matchups for control priests. Did you read the guide and are following it? I have no issues against these two classes (again, with the exception of jades) and am able to take them into late-game and win the value fight.

I respectfully disagree.

Sure, if you constantly get exactly the right card at exactly the right time, you will do fine. If not, this deck has no chance against these classes and gets overrun.

I just checked Tempostorm's meta tier list to see whether it's only me having good winrates against druids and hunters, but they seem to have made mid hunter control priest's best matchup, and aggro druid a decent matchup as well.
HSReplay statistics also show the same, with druid and hunter being very good matchups, with over 60% winrate.
So, it surely can't be only me.

Could you upload a few replays (around 3 of them would be good) to see what the core of the issue is?

I ran Midrange Hunter last season and I had a 50% winrate against this deck with most of those wins coming from excellent RNG on my part but even then it was a fight. There are different version of this deck floating around maybe try one of those? Brian Kibler was running a very similar version to this last season and he was, as usual, high ranked Legend with it.

Third question haha sorry. So are you guys going to make a different version of this deck anytime soon with the Lyra combo package? How could I replace in radiant elemental, Lyra, and shadow visions while still maintaining its core cards such as Auchenai, Circle of healing, and Medivh with Free from Amber?

It's possible that we will make one. I asked the HS authors and I am not awaiting response, but I expect it to be positive. 

Placing those cards in the deck is not that easy, actually. If you want to add miracle cards, in some builds it's actually Medivh, the Guardian and Free From Amber that should be replaced, as the deck will not focus on combo value, rather than board value. In some builds I saw, it's the tech cards that are taken from the deck, in this case it's Wild Pyromancer and Golakka Crawler. If you want to add more miracle cards, I recommend building the deck from scratch, pretty much.

Like @positiv2 said, we are still awaiting a response on any incoming decks. In the mean time here is a list that Brian Kibler used last month and he had great success. It's along the lines of what you are asking for except this version doesn't run Auchenai Soulpriest or Circle of Healing. If you would like to see it in action check his videos out on YouTube, pretty fun to watch in my opinion. Here is the deck, hope it helps.

I got lucky enough to pick up Elise the Trailblazer with the three free packs, so I made this deck.

so far, im really impressed with it, lots of fun. The Medivh / free from amber combo is especially nasty.

Yes it is. Without an answer from your opponent it can get out of hand.

Usually with this deck, you are dead before you can even think of that combo. It simply takes too much damage.

No wonder, Kibler (see above) put two taunts and two priest of the feast in it.

Any advise how to deal with secret mages? They simply blow me away with their damage spells.

 

Same question for hunter secret decks. Weapon plus hero power alone do 5 damage per turn, just dont stay alive without taunts and healing cards.

How about adding the Lyra package? It will give the deck tons of value, consider the potential of Lyra plus radiant elemental,using shadow vision to grab more aoe spells or even the token pack from Elise.

This deck already runs a combo of Medivh, the Guardian + expensive spells (notably Free From Amber), and running more combos that require you to stack cards is not advised. If you want to play Lyra the Sunshard, I recommend playing Dragon Miracle.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
