INTRODUCTION
Nzoth priest is great fun and while we lost a good chunk of stuff this expansion we also gained some new tools.
The first thing you may find strange in this list is the inclusion of embrace, and while i was super sceptical of this card in the begginning because it seemed like an awful card in form of value i have found the card to be extremly good in this deck.
The reason is because of lack of Lightbomb circle + auchenai is your most important boardclear, but because it requires to card its not always you have it when you need it. With embrace this is rarely a problem, it also synergieses with corrupted healbot, flash heals and darkshire alchemist so it never feels like a dead draw and a burden.
UPDATE 07.05:
Okay so after meeting a lot of fatigue decks and grim patrons, i decided so sub inn two SW:P for the two loot hoarders. Removed an embrace for a extra excavated, makes it a little bit easier to have boardclear for patrons. Curators for more value against fatigue Warrior.
Update 10.05:
Elise for one curators, so many warriors at this ranks and im sick of having a hand full of useless things in fatigue!
General mulligan guide:
With coin: Pyro, PW:S, NSC, Pain.
Without coin: Basically the same as with coin.
Will make a better mulligan guide if it gets 35 upvotes, and mabye some gameplay footage from twitch :)
Even though i like this list quite a bit, it's pretty inconcistent. Started off winning 3 in a row, then i lost 5 in a row. It's just really hard to do anything when a lot of your cards are very reactive and so sometimes you get these terrible hands where, you can maybe sort of answer your opponents plays while taking some damage and yet you having nothing to put on the board that will stick.. You just get overwhelmed super easily, and unless you draw circle you pretty much lost.
My winrate after meeting both aggro and control and being quite experienced with priest, i landed on 3-6.
There doesnt have to be anything wrong with the deck, priest is just in a super tough spot right now.
Was looking for a good nzoth priest without it costing like 9000 dust (thats hard to come by lol) and i'm looking at this and it looks pretty good. Only thing im kind of iffy about is that you dont run cabal shadow priest, it is aboloutely INSANE against warrior but also against shaman and tempo mage. Theres so much value to be had. That said its a bit situational so running 1 should be good enough. A second thing is, why not doomsayer? With situational and slow early game this list could use a reset at around turn 3 in order to put elise and shades on board and sort of reset.
Cabal is great agains Warrior, Shaman and tempo mage sure, its horrible against druid and Rouge, and very rarely good enough against hunter. Still its Worth running one, and mabye also two because of the swing turn it provides against the decks its good against. Its meta dependent though, as many Cards for priest are.I played this to legend last month, and havent really touched the deck since, as i got tired of playing it.
This season i played with doomsayer instad of pyro and it Works decently, its more reactive than Pyro and better early as it needs less combo pieces, but lategame its a dead draw most of the time while pyro can be game changing. I reached rank 3 around 10 days into the season, but iv fallen down to rank 7 now. The problem i see however is the amount of hunter on ladder. Sure we may be able to steal a win against Rouge if Your running Pyr/domsayer doesnt matter, but dealing with all the face damage and double Call of the wil is hard.
With the exception of Museum Curator I think you may get a lot of value of Resurrect, it would be a 2 mana big minion, generally with some extra value because of deathrattle. Also, if that minion is killed you get extra copies of it with your N'Zoth, the Corruptor.
Another card that may be worth to look at is Justicar Trueheart, as you are running 4 copies of cards that make your heals damage, and 4 damage power may really shine for board control.
Nice deck, would be nice if you had some videos of it in action.
You generally only run resurrect if you run injured blademaster, and thats a more normal form of control priest.
Justicar is just personal preference a lot of the time. You sort of have elise filling the same role as justicar making fatigue battle better.
I was running both of them in my deck, but after playing it a lot I lost both cards, just to much rng to relay on that.
Justicar is a great card by itself, and is a great tool against a lot of control decks.
A card that may be worth there is Doomsayer, is not a guarantied board wipe, but i can save you lots of problems with early game, as your board wipes depends on more that one card or are really slow to play, while this may couple of minions and slow your opponent's play (leading to he play more minions later where you can wipe them with other aoes.
I like this deck list, and I will give it a try. There are a few N'Zoth Priest lists I'm using, and more the better I say :)
I think Corrupted Healbot is great in this deck. I love dropping a Soulpriest then hitting face and SWD the healbot for 14 burst so its not that terrible and I have won games with him.
Corrupted healbot is great in this deck, and with embrace its not so hard to pull of sick combos with him either! The times he heals his opponent you dont really care anyway.
I think its a important card in this deck, playing it turn 5 can help you regain some board or tempo, and you dont really care if it heals your opponent for 8 as a Priest! its also a huge body for your Nzoth turn. Lastly you dont know how many wierd leathals you can get with this card when you play Embrace the shadows :). Bursted down a freeze mage from 30 hp when i had two corrupted on board and dobbel death and embrace in hand and that was a lot of fun!
So, I had the exact same idea a few days ago and started playing with this. Stuck around Rank 16. I had put in the curators. Loot Hoarder is a much better fit. I also subbed in Refreshment Vendor for a bit of midgame healing or damage option vs aggro. I have Cairne, and I realize he is high value, but I think he is quite expensive. I see the value of this deck being forcing people to waste resources on high value minions that you want to sacrifice anyway (Sylvanus, Healbots) and I suppose Cairne fits that mold quite well. Do you find him to be a necessary piece?
Thanks, the Pyromancers and the Loot Hoarders really made a difference.
Yeah curators are a bit slow so if your facing a lot of shaman loot hoarders are much better! Glad your having some sucsess with the deck :). I dont think Cairne is a necessary piece, he is really slow and it feels extra bad when he gets hexd or sapped. Instead of cairne you can mabye put in a curator or something else, cabal is also good for tempo and there is a lot of good targets in this meta.
