How to beat res priest

Also play a “do nothing until I win” deck. My OTK quest shaman just got a satisfying “you opponent left.” I summoned minions but didn’t both attacking. They sommoned n infiltrator and gift of luminanced it. I cleared the board with a hagatha’s scheme. They did nothing for several more turns. I played a walking fountain into a naked board just to corrupt 2 dunk tanks.

Turn 9 would have been the tanks. Then it’s kick back and wait to draw a medic. the following turn would be a Y’shaarj with a 0-mana tap already primed. Four more tanks and 2 medics.

They left before I got to laugh even harder. Man, I love farming priests with this deck.

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

First game in Legend this month I played against a Big Priest and OTK’d his a$$ with the paladin death knight.

I went to fatigue, only had 1 card left in my deck (a 0 mana libram) which I needed for the OTK. I had 9 cards in hand plus a 5/7 that had a libram on him. Had the priest killed my minion instead of going all face with his board of resurrected 8/8’s and 7/7’s, he would’ve won the game because I would’ve milled the libram I needed.

Fortunately he didn’t and got him self killed by the exodia. Felt good.

What’s the combo there?

Tour guide → hero power → Auctionmaster Beardo → 0 Mana Libram → Hero Power → 0 Mana Libram → Hero Power → 0 Mana Libram → Hero Power

Can also work if you have a 0 mana Libram of Justice.

I love OTKs. the jankier the better. That isn’t enough to make me craft the death knight, but I love it. :smiley:

You’d actually be surprised by how good the deck has become with the libram package :smiley:

It’s just a strong deck now with great anti aggro tools and an OTK as a finisher.

So depending on if your Standard and Wild - there 2 approaches to deal with Res Priest.

Option 1 depending on your class - Mainly Shamen/Mage is transform their minion into something else tend to help ruin their Res pool

Option 2 is using minion that summon minion to their side of the board - can be simple weak minion to sometimes giving them an alright stated weak minion - but the more minion your add to their res pool the more likely they unable too Res the bigger targets with mass res. And the Sooner you start the better.

The 3rd option is kinda “eh” as you’ll tend to be greedy while doing “nothing” is let them buff and add so many cards too 1 minion then Slyas it to your side.

But they’re all options to generally beat res priest in General or make the game less annoying.

I’ll be giving this a shot for sure. I also generally love OTKs & i’ve been thinking about using Uther somehow since someone was complaining about him and Mecha’thun in the same thread recently, and i love mecha’thun.

Lying about a deck in the first sentence just pretty much means your whole post is based on a lie so you defeated your own thread in 10 seconds. Grats.

Or run quest support with a quest(preferably mummies) and you can use the coin from the 3/2. You get more draw power and the 2/3 and 3/2 are actually pretty decent early game. Best part is with the quest people try to clear your board frequently buying you more time because they think you’re trying to finish it.

Ummm… Ok. What did I lie about?

Do nothing until I win is a flat out lie. But hey actually using your brain on when to use a card is wrong I guess. Nope just drop that penance on turn 2 on a 1/1 right?

“Do nothing” is shorthand for “kill the opponent’s minions and hardly ever interact any other way.” It doesn’t mean “never think about anything.”

Clearly it’s an oversimplification. As is categorizing my deck the same. Our two decks, when facing one another, tend to do nothing. I drop minions to complete my quest. They kill the minions. I don’t even bother attacking if a minion survives a turn because the damage will be healed before I OTK them.

I wouldn’t expect you to agree with that, though. You’ve indicated in other threads an unwillingness to listen to anything that denigrates your preferred class. That’s cool, though. I’ll keep farming priests. You keep farming your auto concessions in casual. :rofl:

Just copied the OTK quest shaman deck and first game was against a res preist. “Do nothing until I win” describes it beautifully and it was really so much fun. Thanks!

Glad I could make someone’s day by punishing someone else’s priest. :smiley:

Option 4: Void Contract turn 8, double Tickatus turn 9.

Yeah sure. We would all spaff hard removal on a non threat. Because we’re aggro and have no brain right? Let’s just forget the fact some of us climbed high legend with control too. And know exactly what we’re talking about.

In short, learn the game (other classes exist) before you gonna throw shade. Alright?
