Arena Priest Tier Lists

I'm getting card options that don't appear on your spreadsheet. My very first three cards to choose from were Ancient Mage, Murloc Tidecaller and Coldlight Oracle. Does that mean those cards are such BAD options that you didn't even bother to include them?

Switch to the rare tab. ^^

Hi I really really really need your help. I followed the list and had a alot of great cards in my deck mostly above average to excellent. and yet i lost so hard i only had 1 win. in fact of my over 40 arena trys my max wins is 2. It is not my choices it is not my gameplay it is everyone I face gets god decks and 3-4 legendaries and all these wonderful combos while I constantly get nothing. I am tired of losing due to everyone has luck except me. and then i go online and see these a-holes saying they get 9-11 wins on average in arena? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. answer it isn't they are lying and just idiotic liars. Please what am I doing wrong that I cant even get more than 2 wins in arena. as an example I lost to a guy who threw out 4 freaking 4 of the creature who gets +4/+4 if your opponnent has 15 or less health. seriously 1 you have to be absolutely confident you can even get your opponent down to 15 or less health. but to have that card come up 4 TIMES? unbelievable luck borderline impossible but it happened. Please help me. I am just so far out of patience I am about to consider sueing blizzard for my money back. I dont want to i love blizzard but at this point random chance is a fkin lie they are stacking everyone against me and its just not worth my money.

Are you on EU? If so, would you add me on BNet and tell me when you are ready to play arena so I could spectate you? If not, would you provide a replay so I can see if it really as you say?

 Crazed Alchemist is rated above average in the rare tab. I always had a fondness for that one (for some reason).

Just another gimmicky card , that's probably better to skip over in most cases. Anyways, I've played about as much 

Arena as Keith C. Brown, with a similar win-rate, so I feel his pain. Let's hope the new changes help us draft better cards . ( Btw, thanks for all the great guides Sottle! Icy Veins has helped me alot)

There are some cards that I feel are overrated. Spawn of Shadows - a Lost Tallstrider, which I believe is overrated as well due to the amount of 4-health removals, such as Bomb Lobber or Flamestrike.
Then, Goblin Sapper. It used to be fine, but now with arena meta getting faster, players rarely have 6 cards on turn 3 and later, which makes Goblin Sapper a 3 mana 2/4, and while Squirming Tentacle is tier 5, Goblin Sapper stays at tier 4.
Finally, Shifting Shade on tier 6 is strange, especially when it's right below Mass Dispel. I feel like Shifting Shade is a fine card at least, being a 4 mana 4/3, which is better than Gnomish Inventor, who is in tier 5. Drawing your opponent's card is not really that bad in arena since you don't usually have combos, and it actually helps against better classes, such as Mage or Paladin, where you often get better cards than the cards in your deck, even after the change of arena draft.

for credibility so i can quantify my experience, this was my record for november (europe)

Astounding! You had a win streak of 10 games in The Arena!
image-hearthstone-thumb-arena-most-wins-
12
You won 12 times in a single Arena run!
image-hearthstone-thumb-arena-total-knoc
35
You knocked 35 players out of Arena! Players in your region knocked 4.6players out of Arena on average.

and having played a mostly priest, this is my opinion 

Rare section. I would move  duskbreaker and free from amber one tier higher at least. I would move holy fire 2+ tiers down. And i would move mass dispel to good/great tier as it brings insane value.  Shadow word horror i think must move up a bit.. i dont play pintsize much personally i wouldnt rate it that high

epics : obsidian is excellent

for the common section:  i think for you to get 12 wins you must have you one spirit lash to pick up the 1 lifes and occasionally buy time against rushers. Shadow ascendant i would move it high as well as radiant spirit. Mind control i would move higher as it is really scary now. Potion of madness i would move it down one tier. Holy smite one tier down. Darkshire alchemist i would move it one tier higher and swap places with priest of feast

That is my feeling for kobolds,

Super helpful tier ranking I’ve been doing great as priest in arena lately.  I did notice one thing on my last run though- for the legendaries, why is bwonsamdi ranked so high?

Other than crystalline Oracle and northshire cleric there aren’t really any one mana minions that show up in drafts- and the random ones that do show up are mostly below average or worse in the tier. 

I picked bwonsamdi last time but never got any use out of it besides as a normal 7/7 minion- should I make sure to draft 1mana minions just in case next time? Or only pick that legendary if my deck has a ton of 1drops?

      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.
