I appreciate the nice guide you've written, too bad deck is utter shit (so really it's just another average priest deck).

hey, i was rank 12-13 struggling with zetalot's ressurect , saw this deck, now im at rank 11, kinda stuck in win-lose-win-lose since im hitting alot of shamans and mages that i draw badly against

oh and im playing sylvanas instead of justicar

Mage is a tough matchup, but against tempo mage it really does come down to the draws.  Shaman you may have an advantage over, however it becomes extremely difficult to win if they can rush you down with amazing draws.  My advice is to substitute the Mind Control  and one Cabal for either a corrupted seer, or holy nova, and maybe add an azure drake do deal more damage with Excavated.  I don't think a holy smite would be bad, but it's up to you.  Good Luck!

so i put 2 holy novas and azure drake, and still got rekt by tempo mage :)

i guess its just a hard counter.

Mage might be hard due to the fact that instead of creating board threats they have an immense amount of spells, which you are unable to remove, so I too think mage is the hardest opponent for this deck.

Lol use the deck first then call it click bait.

Saw this deck, build it, no Yesra, used arch thief rafaam

starting at rank 18

First game, vs Nzoth Priest, fatigue, I win

2nd game, death rattle rouge, no removals to handle 3/4 or 4/4, but later got it under control. dropped to 3 hp at one point, but still won

3rd game, vs paladin, deathrattle based paladin, mind controlled tirion turn 9 with coin, he killed it, i res with bishop, he killed it again, i res with bishop again. He cant keep with with that level of tempo. I win

4th game, shaman, aggo shaman, could not put anything on the board, not enough to kill his azue drakes + doom hammer with rockbiter, and 2 lava strikes. loss

5th game, tempo mage, 2 flamewaker and 3 magic missles, 12 hp by turn 5, loss.

6th game, stealing rouge, loss, too much card advantage on her side later in the game, edric the pure, fordring, and confessor, loss

so rank 17, 3 win 3 loss. im ok with it, but ill play more.

I would recommend holding onto the Circle of Healings in the beginning, and from what you've said I'm thinking that replacing both mind controls for embrace the shadows might do better.  Shaman is generally a problem for this deck, because cheap single target removal for totem golem or flame wreathed faceless is only present in 2 cards, however against tempo mage it's all about the start.  Good Luck,

2x Mind Control unplayable is extremely incorrect.  To think that you get an 8+ drop, and removal, and considering soggoth the slitherer is the only late game drop still available that can counter mind control, it's incorrect to call it 'unplayable.' Play the deck before you talk about how unplayable it is please.

Thanks,

The 80% win rate is at ranks 5-10, and from the grind from 16 down.  And the whole point of the deck is to waste your opponents tempo and to create huge tempo swings, that are so tremendous that they can stop any aggro deck at the moment, not to mention the massive heals now available.  The fact that most of the deck is removal means that you can consistently draw answers to your opponents threats, and that you can consistently be able to either cabal or entomb or, in late game mind control the larger threats.

Sorry You Think That,

my first 14 rang, thx. but i doesnt have Ysera, i switch it to sylvana, what you think? 

Its 100% usable, as it works as removal when comboed, however I recommend playing Sylvannas reactively, as opposed to tempo, because it is a great card for shutting down huge threats.

Good Luck,

This deck seems kinda good, but i kinda dont win since u are deeply dependen on draws 4-5 combo cards without them you lose kinda all time (to low percentage winrage for me kinda 10% x)

Considering about 65% of this deck is removal, not drawing removal by turn 5 is almost impossible, and turn 6 I think it is impossible to not have some form of hard removal.  If your win percentage is 10% I'm going to say that you may need to play a better deck, considering I can hit 25% with the basic shaman deck.

Good Luck,

I don't have ysera (using rag), but how would elise do in this? Seeing as how this is a heavy control priest, would elise be any good in it?

Looking back that was a pretty dumb question. We got 2 mind controls, 2 entombs, and a rag. We really don't need more late game. On a positive note, I've gone 8-2 with this deck so far, and one of those losses was due to drawing no removal against a zoo with well above average curve.

Elise is not a bad card, but my recommendation is saving it for the late game, and keeping any unnecessary cards that may stack up by fatigue, and turning them into legendaries.  If played correctly, Elise saves you from 2 fatigue draws.

I thank you for this guide, 1st of all i think that i will switch 1 mind for sylvanas, if u are unlucky and get 1 of them in ur hand from the mulligan  i think that u are fucked. I will try it and will give u an opinion.
