This deck is pretty insane and i've been watching RDU playing it the whole time. :)
First Run he reached a 11-3.
Edit:
You could replace 1x Book Wyrm with 1x Chillmaw and 1x Priest of the feast with 1x Harrison Jones.
Seems better for me.
Well RDU is a proven cheater, not surprised that he would steal also.
Well, it is the same draogn priest deck that every dragon priest player is running at the moment (with one or two changes in most cases). I am running the list without the Priest of the feast and instead with either Chillmaw or a second Entomb. Really not sure why the deck is getting down played so much at various sites like Vicious Syndicates but for me the deck is performing greatly, especially against Midrange Shamans. Might be that the average player has a bad winrate with it and therefore pushing down the overall performance on such stats sites a lot.
Yesterday e.g. I went 9-2 with it, on and off stream between rank 6 and 4.
Some gameplay I made a few days ago for the specific deck list: VOD Dragon Priest
Try that in heroic brawl...
Hopefully someone finds this info useful.
4-3 win/loss
Deck changes:
-1 Priest of the Feast, Northshire Cleric
+1 Harrison Jones, Shadow Word: Horror
Results
1) Yogg Druid. I beat them easily. Could have been a variation of Spell Druid as they played a Summoning Stone. Didn't actually see Yogg.
2) Mid Shaman. Was tough, but won in the end.
3) Aggro Mage. They destroyed me pretty easily.
4) Murlocadin. They got pretty close, but I won in the end.
5) Handlock and by far the closest matchup. They got me down to 1 health by focusing on face instead of minions and by playing Leeroy Jenkins. I had 2 Azure Drake's, a Blackwing Technician and Leeroy's minions. Went for their face and finished with Blackwing Corruptor to win the match.
6) Spell Priest. I was going pretty well until they got lucky and pulled Tirion Fordring from Forbidden Shaping. They beat me with fatigue. Also made a silly mistake by playing Nefarian (from Netherspite Historian) and was my only dragon at the time. Got bad priest cards. Wouldn't recommend choosing Nefarian against your own class. So, yeah, lost that one too.
7) Midrange Shaman. Just couldn't beat them. Got pretty close with Shadow Word: Horror but they played their Ragnaros the Firelord and it was all over.
Opinion / More Info
I've only been playing Hearthstone post Naxxramas, so I'm by no means a pro player. Watching the twitch video really helped show what I should mulligan and what to play in certain situations. I paid for this, which is $12.99AUD and felt I got my monies worth. Was a good challenge and went better than expected.
Not sure if using the decklist as published would have improved my ratio. Harrison Jones came in handy against the Pally because they played Sword of Justice. Shadow Word: Horror came in handy against all classes I played.
I also crafted Ragnaros the Firelord for this. Thought I could play without it initially and was looking for replacements, but the video showed me that it doesn't really work without. Looking forward to playing Rag in other standard decks now I have it :)
Welp, so far its been Nzoth Rogue and Reno Mage? Both of which were unexpected control decks. Did not come out on top against those. This is a strong deck vs shaman but seems to have glaring weakness's to any other type of control. I am upset I chose this deck for Heroic TB.
It's a great deck vs Hunters, and probably against Shamans, but I haven't seen any of those in this brawl!
So far I'm 2-2, 2 easy wins vs Hunter and 2 loses, 1 against Freeze Mage and 1 against Warrior.
Frankly the deck sucks against any control, so it depends what you're facing.
Against Freeze Mage, you need more aggressive style before turn 9. Against Control Warrior, play slow to empty cards in deck (he will run out of cards before you), using combo Brann+Histo to take 4 dragons (8 mana plus), dont put more than 3 minions on the board to avoid Brawl except he has used 2 Brawl.
You might get some mulligan tips by watching this video
I play the version with Ysera, Excavated Evil and second Entomb instead of Priest of the Feast, one Northshire Cleric and one Shadow Word: Pain. Seems stronger against both Aggro and Control decks. Any thoughts?
I replaced Priest of the Feast with Harrison, who saved me from Warriors and Shamans numerous times. What do you think?
Went 5-3 with this deck, its a good deck. I think that the Northshire Clerics wasn't very useful as I was getting enough card draw from Azure Drakes. Overall not bad.
3 - 0 so far
I love this deck! 3-0 so far!
I love how the meta in tavern brawl is different because there are even more cancer shamans. If you're deck isn't build properly against shamans you're bound to fail.
Ummm....Not being a troll...but RDU was playing it....That's why it went 11-3. :) The deck is strong
1 - 3 ... this sucks against everything!
