[Archived] S7 Hearthstone Legendary Priest Control Deck

Recommended Posts

Guest AwwsumAnthony

Yeah, wow. What a shitty deck. You have you to be extremely lucky to actually draw all the cards you need to play that taunt combo. Then not to mention my opponent can usually just bring down my wall in just a few turns before I can actually do anything else because of how high cost my cards are. Waste of arcane dust if you ask me. Was doing better with the mid budget hunter aggro deck.

This deck was initially designed for the meta game that was full of druids and other mid-range / control decks and it performed pretty well, however lately the meta game is extremely aggressive and priest simply doesn't work well in an aggressive environment.

After I've read your comments, I decided to go play and see what could potentially be improved. The deck performed really well as I started with a nice 4:0 win streak, playing against 2 shamans, 1 clueless warrior and a druid, however my odds rapidly changed once I started meeting hunters and other aggressive decks. I dropped below 50% win ratio after 12 games and decided to tech the priest to suit the meta game better and to give you guys a better priest deck.

This is what I've come up with:

2x Circle of Healing
2x Power Word: Shield
1x Shadow Word: Pain 
2x Acidic Swamp Ooze
2x Sunfury Protector
2x Wild Pyromancer
2x Shadow Word: Death
2x Injured Blademaster
1x Shadow Madness

2x Auchenai Shadowpriest

2x Sen'jin Shieldmasta
2x Holy Nova
1x Faceless Manipulator
1x Holy FIre
1x Ragnaros
1x Ysera

The deck started performing really well and I managed to bump my win ratio back - went 15:7 with this version. This deck lost majority of the "taunt" combo, which makes this deck similar to the other version of our legend priest deck and we will most likely be removing one unless I come up with something better in the next few days.

If any of you guys will be trying the decklist that I've posted, let me know how it goes for you and we will update the deck based on the feedback you guys provide.

Thanks,
Regards,
Poyo

Poyo,

 

Thanks for the input. I wasn't meaning to be rude if thats how it came off. I'm very appreciative of the work and information you do here on icy veins.  This deck is fairing much better.

i dont have rags  and i sort of replaced it with demolisher, and added a knife juggler, but it really cant compare to a rag, saving the dust for it.

I am using this with exception of substituting 1sunfury protector for defender if argus and 1 shadow word death for shadow word pain. The key for me is to wait until I am generating 4-5 mama before playing cards unless I need to do a quick take out. When I am willing to accept some upfront damage to ensure I have the correct card combos I am wining 4 out of 5. Thanks for the deck build

"Useless Priest Control Deck" is a better name for this deck !

I played Hearthstone for a while and when i tryed this deck i was so disapointed ...

fighting against Hunters or other champions with low hp cards is good. But when you play against players with good builded decks this deck just looks so useless and you just try to outplay the game somehow or trick the enemy player. I found fighting against monsters like Chillwing Yeti, Sen'jin Shieldmasta, Oasis Snapjaw, Gurubashi Berserker, Archmage, Sunwalker and many others to be really annoying. This deck is for people who has the legendary cards. Without them its just pointless to use it. So if you already have a good priest deck and you don't have the legendary cards Ragnaros the Firelord and Ysera just don't go for that useless deck. In my opinion you don't need legendary priest control deck without the legendary cards and just don't waste your time to craft the cards ... Firstly craft the legendary ones and use it on your deck!

If you could provide us with a video of you playing that deck, we would be more than happy to help and point out what you did wrong. Criticising like this does not really help and calling minions "monsters" makes it hard to take you seriously.

      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:

      AECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      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.
