Hey everyone! My name is Corkscrew and this is my first deck I have posted on Hearthpwn. I just recently started trying to consistently get legend and have hit it 5 of the last 6 seasons. I used this deck to get legend this season and last. I played it from 4 to legend both seasons and maintained a 65% plus win rate over 80 games.
This deck has around an 80% win rate against secret paladin. It is heavily favored against zoo and patron and slightly favored against control warrior and druid. Which is pretty much all of the top tier decks at the moment. I was surprised at the efficiency of this deck and hope you guys will try it out!
Mulligan for Twilight Whelp, Norshire Cleric, Zombie Chow, Museum Curator, and Wyrmrest Agent. Always keep a 4 cost dragon unless you have a really bad hand and not on coin.
any updates with deck?
thanks.
Have just got legend the first time with this deck (- Dark Cultist, - Zombie Chow, +Justicar Trueheart +Brann Bronzebeard)
Thanks A lot!
Bad match-ups were freeze, reno mages, reno warlocks were pretty hard as well, murloc pala is almost unwinable for any priest, so. Everything else was pretty easy
Replacement for GvG and Naxx card?
standard is comming tomorrow.
This is gonna be the other deck withour twilight guardians, light bombs and even Wyrmrest Agents
You don't have to replace Twilight Guardians and Wyrmrest Agents for standard
I had a nice 12-2 run from the bottom of Rank 5 to the top of Rank 4 until I started running into Mages playing Ice Solitare. Elise may help with all the Fatigue Warriors in Rank 4 right now but I feel like Freeze Mage is a lost cause.
that was exactly my experience. awesome against zoo and secret pally but freeze mage is impossible. and suddenly lots of freeze mages.
Is this a joke?
Deck is great however control warrior eats it unless you get a really strong consistent opening set of minions to beat him down with. If they take away tempo from you you've lost.
You are a bit wrong, since you can entomb elise. I won control/fatigue match ups both by tempo and in fatigue
deck is not that good
quite solid deck, really like it. But i found some problems against control warrior, any suggestions how to deal with them?
I do feel this deck is slightly favored vs. control warrior but only marginally. It is a pretty tough match up. ROGER04's suggestion of subbing elise for dark cultist is interesting and I could definitely see it working well. My suggestions are keep up tempo as much as possible and don't play into brawl too much. I usually keep velen's chosen and try to bait out executes and shield slams with buffed minions. Keep power word shield and combo it with your 1 cost minions in the first couple turns to play around war axe. Try to keep your entomb for monkey and hopefully 1 lighbomb for after monkey. If you can keep up pressure you will eventually be able to run them out of resources and kill them.
thank you for advice :) its tricky moment really to keep up tempo and not forcing brawl, but anyway thanks again)
I found I still do pretty poorly against control warriors :( . I switched out for Elise but still kept both light bombs unlike the switch out mentioned above. Honestly I might have just been too greedy in the early game which is why I might have lost (always be greedy as a priest lol). I do, however, like this deck with Elise in it.
Never give them a good Brawl board and try to bait out Execute and Shield Slam early. Even with a good game Control Warrior is still a bad matchup unless you can get them ahead in fatigue hits or can afford to Entomb their Justicar.
I swapped one lightbomb for chillmaw, I think it is a little better vs agro and a little worse vs control; could be wrong. Got me from 10 to 5 very fast... unfortunately i won't have time to try getting to legend.
I really like how this deck is very consistent. You don't get those crap hands where you just can't do anything(which happens a lot in some priest decks).
I am glad the deck worked out well for you. I think switching out a light bomb for Chillmaw is really good as it still provides AOE but also helps with dragon synergy. It has definitely been something I have considered and I am going to try it out
About bad hands: like an hour ago played against secret pally and played 1 card on turn 5, after mulliganed whole hand and got double velens chosen and cabal. Shit happens in any deck
