It's late, but I wasn't going to particpate this week at first, because I don't have much experience with LoR or with LoL in general. I played LoR a few months back and just couldn't get into it for some reason.
Anyways, I came up with this. Like Cannonmaster Smythe, but for the board. I provided an example with Possessed Villager if your have one. Is it too slow for zoo, where this would best fit in? It could also be used as a general value/deathrattle synergy card.
I am slightly concerned of how much "sticking power" and stat bonuses you could potentially get from this. Since the Riders don't have Rush though, that does help a bit
So I made an achievement deck for the 0 cost shadow spells achievement. I had no intention of doing well with it. However, and I cannot understand how this came to be, I ended up 8-3 in wild Silver (okay, I know why, the deck has a decent late game shell and people tend to concede when they can't win). You can grind multiple achievements with one deck, so go for it.
Probably not because the only real good outcome from yogg against a warlock would be random spells or rod of roasting.
The only way to counter warlock in my opinion is to play either Plagued Protodrake or Cairne Bloodhoof, because without malicia they can never avoid taking damage to face without throwing everything they have into it. But of course, you're priest so getting those cards out of your deck are another thing entirely.
If there were more copy cards in priest you may just get away with it simply with cairne or some other midrange deathrattle that's not Burning Blade Acolyte. But sadly we'll likely have to wait until the next expansion to see if priest is given anything at all.
Also, I don't really think priest can ever really cut it big even without warlock existence. Its really dependent on its draws, and its control tools aren't necessarily good. If you play anything below 5 attack priest generally cant remove it, unlike warlock's bs number of removal options.
That was my own experience with the C'thun variant on the Lunacy deck before the nerf. Those spells didn't help me much and just ended up making it harder to pull one of the cards that really made a difference. Maybe this was bad luck also, but it seemed like even the Lunacy-upgraded 8 drops often turned in to dead draws.
I gave in and switched to the VS suggested build last night in hopes they'd get me the final 6-7 wins and that worked out. Now I can start working on a different class. Too bad for me I've already hit 1000 on Warrior, Paladin, and Hunter and those are three of the best ones right now.
well according to Tempostorm secret paladin is the best deck. vicious syndicate says its rush warrior. in both face hunter i top tier 2. none of those are control like u enjoy but there are some slower lists for paladin and rush warrior isnt exactly a "play ur green cards every turn" kind of deck so i do recommend it.
Regardless if u have the cards/dust u should try some variations of control priest, since its the archetype u enjoy the most. it really just loses to warlock, and has a fair chance to every other deck out there. completly shits on aggro unless in some really bad draws once every 10 games or so.
just pls dont say a deck is bad cause your first five games were bad. getting to know ur deck and opponents decks and how u play yours against theirs is a slower process. give it a shot
Honestly, it's good that Warlock exists because I fear otherwise the only way to beat Priest would be bottom tier stuff like Rattlegore Warrior or spamming Coin Flip Spell Mage.
Also, I once got destroyed in the mirror by Yogg Saron, so I'm wondering if that guy might just be enough as a lategame bomb to possibly even scam the Warlock matchup.
Yeah Priest is nice right now. Good matchups. Few enough of the bad to weather it. And the Warlock matchup is so incredibly bad that you can just concede and not waste time on it.

Cairne is apparently really good against stuff like priest and Demon Hunter because they just have no convenient way to get rid of it and it allows you to always retain tempo after their clears.
Generally there's not really a deck out there that can punish Cairne (except Secret Rogue and the elusive Shaman)
Spell Mage with C'thun is only really useful against long drawn out matches or the ones where you want the Aoe/single target destroy.
Usually it's just clogging up your deck with stuff you don't need because you'd rather find actual burn and just blow the opponent up.
Spell Mage is just rock paper scissors at this point. If you go against a slow deck, just turn off your brain and point all burn at face, if you go against aggro just concede. It somehow involves less decision making than Face hunter.
If you still want to play Mage you can try the Spell Damage version, or you can go full Hipster and try to play Secret Mage (which gets out-tempoed by most decks, but if you get a good start it's quite good actually)
Agreed. Anyone who wants to play this deck (and you should!) needs to check out VS’ recommended deck list. I don’t agree with it completely (especially their choice to cut Playmaker), but it’s a great starting point.
Warlock is only common at lower ranks though. Once you get into Legend (or just Diamond 5 really, Priest is pretty safe because you'll keep running into Hunters and Paladins which you can bully with ease.
Only Spell Mage is a reoccuring problem because those trglodytes can beat you by just aiming face and drawing their entire deck by turn 4
If it's possible that I can get to diamond 5 but am actually just really bad at the game, its possible that people just consistently outdraw me and I get as unlucky as I claim.
Paladin is just really bad for me, over 10 games its only slightly better than poison rogue, but at least its not losing. 50% wr over 10 games.
edit: wr has improved, but I did face some truly rough matchups and bad draws. i didnt really look at the decklist, i just copied the code, and no lie for the first 3 games I didnt even realize the secret weapon was in the deck because I never drew it.
Vicious Syndicate's latest meta report is very down on C'Thun in general so I find it interesting that a No Minion Mage with that is rolling so well. I was within 20 wins of the 1000 portrait for mage when the Lunacy nerf hit and I had already made it to Diamond 5 for April so I've been stubbornly sticking with it even after the nerf. It's rough going. The May climb is going to involve a different deck for sure.
Aggro can't beat Lissandra/trundle unless the Lissandra player got really unlucky with his draws, as for it being the best finisher in the game I disagree, Lee Sin and Nasus are just as good if not better. Finally it make sense that the watcher effect is stronger than Maokai since it's more difficult to execute.
Looking at the decklists and i'm actually surprised that there are more than 1-2 classes that were brought.. Just looking in America's is Rogue, mage, paladin, priest, warrior, and warlock. I wouldn't want to watch it every week, but diversity and good tech choices can make this format somewhat interesting.
no no, not Miracle Priest, genuine Control Priest.
It's in the latest VS report.
There's two version, one regular with Samuro and Xyrella and the one I'M using which cuts 4-drops for Kazakus to be more proactive, which is actually pretty nuts.

nice one! I often think the threat of Illucia plays enough of a mind game for most opponents that you often don't even need to have her XD
