An aggro opponent may hesitate to drop a 1-drop into it that you can trade off or even just bump into and then draw a card. What it also does is acts as a lightning rod and disrupts your opponent's early game. Obviously, it provides card draw, and it’s really the only option for that in the deck. Wait, Void Ripper? Seriously?Ĭleric does two things in this deck. Not to mention there are several cards that you may not be used to using, like.
Very often, you're going to need to think outside the box and use creative combinations of cards to get yourself out of situations it's easy to misplay, and misplays tend to get punished hard. Patience is crucial you have a lot of board clears, but if you use one too early, or don't line up your answers properly to what you're facing, you're going to have a bad time. Sometimes, at high ranks, the extra couple of win rate percentage points due to the surprise factor matters.įair warning: This is a difficult deck to play optimally. Depending on how long you can maintain that charade, you can even take your opponent completely off guard with Pint-Size Potion into Shadow Word: Horror or Cabal Shadow Priest. There's not a great way to mulligan against this deck to begin with, but even if there was, this list is probably third or fourth on the list of decks your opponents are worried about. Your early game looks identical to Spiteful Priest and Combo Priest up until you play a Shadow Word: Horror. One other thing that works in this deck's favor is the variety of relevant priest decks in the meta right now. You have board clears for days between four dragons with battlecries that damage the board alongside Dragonfire Potion and Shadow Word: Horror, as well as healing to stabilize and early minion pressure to help keep the board in a manageable state and help the board clears along. Seriously, Dragon Control Priest (or just Control Priest, because despite my best efforts no one thinks of Big Priest as a Control deck), is well situated for a meta overrun with Warlocks and Paladins. (Updated - Removed Dragonfire Potion and added Shadow Word: Death.)
