Bullying Warrior and Shaman with the most atrocious homebrew

Multiplayer Discussion
1

As some may recall, I have been having fun in Standard playing something radically meme and off-meta: Big Priest.

You may be surprised to know I have a (barely) positive wr with this at dumpster legend (currently 4k EU). The reason for this is that this tends to own warriors hard and actually does quite well against shaman (unless they go hard on you in the early game with those damned unkillable frogs).

Zerg is usually helpless unless they don’t play around silence and you get lucky draws or discount hits. Not auto-concede but a bad matchup. Anything more aggro than that you are dead, no questions asked.

The point of this is to afk and control until turn 5 then try to pop by then or just survive till you can drop a big minion, then spam resurrect your way into a win. Some keys:

  • Ideally play Soothfancy if you draw it by turn 4 to make sure what you may hit with a Medium.
  • Regardless, it is best to drop Medium blindly on curve if you have it on turn 5. You may hit a 1-drop but that’s life.
  • Always try to find and copy Mediums (when context-appropriate obviously) with creation protocol.
  • Tea is for control and hot coals clears, but also to ramp up Spellstone.
  • Love everlasting on 3 will make your games a lot easier.
  • In most situations, you don’t want to play Envoy of Prosperity. It is there for very specific combos with Medium and/or copies in the late game. Otherwise it’ll just pollute your res pool. Still find it worth including but it’s a liability often.

Overall, don’t expect this to carry you to legend, but this wins a lot more than it has any right to. And it’s fun as hell! So have fun if you want something different and you don’t care to win that much.

To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

It was inevitable that once a couple control decks made it to the top of the meta that Aman’thul in some form would come out from under its rock again. There’s about 3 different Aman’thul Decks running around right now. Looks like between these and the hyper aggro that the meta is shifting.

Omg, I’ve been doing something very similar with my very own shiny jank as well. In my case I’m running a handbuff dk which surprisingly annihilates most of the meta.

See ya in top 100 with our jank lol!

Isnt it better to use hallucination than puppet theatre? I never liked this card as a priest player myself, never have the time for the set up.
I’ve been doing work last couple of months with a k’ure aggro deck. Have tried with k’ara aswell but they really need to introduce somw better shadow spells.

You only waste mana to set that up if you don’t have anything else to do or if you want to prevent the opponent from playing a threat you can copy

You normally just save it for later and play it when you have something to copy and play

That can be as early as turn 4 with a coin or turn 5, so it’s really not that hard to extract value from, lol.

Weird question. Can you target the zilliax with the location?

7

Yes, you can

Anything on the board can target elusive things on the board

That includes battlecry minions, locations and random pings from minions

EDIT: Weapon battlecries, too
