Before the guide begins I would like to ask you guys if you enjoy the deck and like to watch some funny and chilled ladder/arena then to follow my twitch @ twitch.tv/splindyhs Streaming Daily!
Introduction:
Hello my name is Splindy I have been playing hearthstone since beta and have loved the game since its release. I have taken long breaks from the game and have only made it to legend 2 seasons but I also play arena quite often and tech on casual so I do not try hard very many seasons. This deck is a whispers of the old god control priest deck I have created and I hope you guys enjoy!
Why this deck?
Well for starters it is very anti aggro, which the meta is filled with atm (aggro shaman, pirate warrior,zoo,etc) the deck can also do fairly decent against a good amount of control decks but it defiantly shines against aggro.
This deck made it to legend?
I have no screenshot proof from my 2 friends but they are hardcore ladder grinders and they have told me the deck does good while on the way to legend and decent in legend. (Yes it has made it to legend)
Match-ups
Hunter: You do very well against face hunter with the amount of removal you have, with midrange it is more slightly favored to the midrange because of Call of the Wild just make sure to watch life total around 8 and to have some removal for Highmanes and Call of the Wild.
Paladin: Only paladin I have really faced are aggro paladins so I feel the deck is heavily favored. Just make sure to keep some removal in hand during mulligan (Holy Nova)
Shaman: Aggro stand almost no chance against you Shadow Word: Death dr.4 and Shadow Word: Pain any small threats like Totem Golem. Mid range is 50/50 a lot of the same for aggro match up just try to save Auchenai Soulpriest for the Circle of Healing combo.
Warrior: Control Warrior is a hard match up to me you want to get Sylvanas and early removal in opening hand and hope for the best. With tempo early removal is a great starting hand and this match up is heavily favored towards you.
Priest: If mirror just hope you get the better draws, With dragon priest if they get good draws it is very hard to win. This to me is one of the hardest match ups for the deck.
Warlock: Zoo is a really good match up for you because of amazing removal. Just try to keep early removal and Northshire Cleric in opening hand.
Rouge: Miracle you pretty much always lose :/. You best bet is to hope they get terrible draws. TBH just hope that you are facing a rouge deck such as c'thun rouge or something that is not miracle!
Druid: Druid is a fairly good match up because of the more aggro style druids and a mix of token druids. To me a holy nova in opening hand is not that bad of a choice but other then that try to get Northshire Cleric for draw card and a Shadow Word: Pain.
Mage: Freeze you lose. You just do not have the damage to keep you in the match up and to pop the ice blocks. Tempo mage you can win fairly easy with good early removal. yogg is 50/50 just usually depends on how each players draws are.
Hope this guide helped you out and good luck on the ladder and if you have any questions comment and I will try to answer them ASAP and remember to check me out on twitch and follow @ twitch.tv/splindyhs
MCT is a good alternative and a Cabal Shadow Priest :)
Working on the guide now guys!
Even c'thun priest decks do better than this one, theres just no win condition really, its very one sided. Loses to every control matchup i've had, because they have actual threats and you don't. Only thing this deck beats is aggro.
Elise starseeker, Heals, the removal. It does have good win conditions but I do agree not as many as some out their. With the meta being very aggro on NA though, the deck works quite well for climbing.
The meta is very control heavy on EU, with maybe a third of matches being aggro.
what rank are you with this deck?
Do not play much constructed so not very far but people have told me that they have made it to legend using this deck
Lol pretty much a 100% copy of sexynerds deck, the one with like 140 upvotes. Pretty pathetic, i seriously doubt this is your own build from the bottom up, you even put in justicar which sexynerd said has no place in the deck at all since it has no end game and you dont need to take control decks to fatigue, because then you propably lose, therefore its useless other than using with soulpriest.
93% similarity. Very creative.
? it is a control priest!?!?!?!? sexynerd must have copied another deck then since he put in 50% of the original control priest deck.... its a different list :P get over it can not be completely if it is a control priest?
how useful can rez be? seems too slow
Can be if you can get a sylv or auch rezzed.. can be game changing!
Great deck to stay rank 20, r8 3/5 spooks
Great List!
Thanks!
