What was the point of those currently useless garbage priest cards in the mini-set.
Is there any other class that has no use for the Class cards from the mini-set?

Hunterâs are pretty lackluster. Beast Hunter is where itâs at, but none of the newly released cards really work in it. Rogueâs are also pretty meh, in my opinion.
I think this miniset overall is underwhelming. Not as much has changed as many of us anticipated.

I hope, it wonât be long anymore until they stop this mini set thing.
Why would you want them to stop making minisets? Itâs literally the most generous they have ever been. Even if you just dust 100% of the cards that come with it, itâs still the best use of 2000 gold ever.
I donât think thatâs the right way to look at it.
Instead, every class should have cards that are impactful, otherwise itâs not very fair.
I personally donât care since I play all classes but I can see why it can be painful for those who main a class or 2.

I donât think the point is to be fair, the minisets are here to change what types of decks are on top.
I think OP is just mad that he doesnât like naga priest, wonât change class, and wonât change play style.
??? are you a troll? why do you talk crap & write rubbish garbage?
Did you even read what is the topic about?
What the does crap you just wrote has to do with the mini set?
The priest mini set cards are totally useless to the current naga bless deck.
And to reply to your crap
It has been statistically proven all over the years that mini-set almost never changed the meta, but just made it worse.

you arent making any sense first you claim "theyll stop releasing these 2000 gold get all cards mini sets "
and âŚyou say the mini set made the meta worseâŚwithout changing it
worse or better (even if this is just your opinion )is still changing
it cant make it worse as you say
without changing it !
This is the priest player that is listed on all those âwhat do you hate about hearthstoneâ polls on reddit. He has proven it by just saying so because he is the king of the world.
The priest mini set cards are totally useless to the current naga bless deck.
This is true, however that doesnât make the cards themselves useless. They just donât fit into the list people are running over at vicious syndicate. Iâve been working on refining a more later game oriented deck without the quest. And I think Iâve arrived at something Iâm happy with. Herald of light fits live a glove in my build.
Fair warning: This deck is far more complicated than it looks at first glance

2x (1) Cleric of Anâshe
2x (1) Gift of the Naaru
2x (2) Bless
2x (2) Twilight Deceptor
2x (3) Amulet of Undying
2x (3) Crushclaw Enforcer
2x (3) Devout Dungeoneer
2x (3) Herald of Light
1x (4) Blademaster Samuro
2x (4) Lightmaw Netherdrake
2x (4) School Teacher
1x (4) Xyrella
2x (5) Spirit Guide
1x (6) Miâda, Pure Light
2x (6) Undying Disciple

The idea behind the deck is that I wanted something with the capacity to not only hold a board, but also clear an enemy board if it fell behind, and also have a definitive finisher. The way you use your spells and their tutors is a pivotal factor in whether or not you have success with the deck. Here are some things to understand
âThere are exactly 6 spells. Two each of Gift of the Naaru, Bless, and the amulet of undying. Thatâs four holy and two shadow spells
âBecause there are no other shadow spells in the deck Twilight Deceptors and Spirit Guides will ALWAYS target an amulet of undying. This enables you to upgrade those amulets very fast⌠vastly more so than a deck with many shadow spells
âCleric of Anshe, Devout Dungeoneer, Spirit Guide, Twilight Deceptor can all tutor those spells. Cleric will always allow you to pick any of those 3 because they are his only choices.
âCrushclaw Enforcer can tutor for both Herald of Light and School teacher
Now for the board clears
-Herald of Light and gift of anshe can both be used to activate Xyrella
âThe spell tutors are cheap and can enable a turn 4 lightmaw netherdrake against murlocs and such
âBless + samuro is a board clear
âBless + undying disciple is a full board clear
The draw engine is strong. Between 2x cleric, 2x gift, 2x twilight deceptor, 2x devout dungeoneer, 2x crushclaw enforcer, and 2x spirit guide you can draw 14 cards. If you ressurect spirit guide with amulet you can get even more.
The late game finishers against super slow control decks are the Humongous owls, and the amulet of undyingâs ability to ressurect them alongside multiple copies of Miâda along with xyrella the devout. Playing xyrella the devout after a good 7 or 8 owls have died is enough to shred even a control warriors armor to bits. The undying disciples ensure the board is clear so they hit their mark.
Against aggro the game plan is just sustain and win card advantage. Xyrella, netherdrake, samuro bless, herald of light, and undying can all accomplish this.
Give the deck a try if you like. Or donât if you prefer not to. But it feels good to me.

I was trying to make something like this work, but was missing the finishers. Thanks for the list (and the explanation). Iâll give it a run.
You will probably need some time familiarizing yourself with the list because there are many interlocking wheels and cogs and several pieces of the different packages have a lot of synergy with other components in other packages. Good luck with it though.
Priest cards arenât supposed to work. Priest cards are just for show; theyâre designed to make you think youâre getting something of value, but as youâve already discovered theyâre useless garbage. They will always be useless garbage.
I mean, câmon, if they actually worked, Blizzard would have nerfed them already because Priests arenât allowed to win. The community demands priests be the weakest class because, well, quite frankly I forget why. The lead developer explained it once. Something about people would be upset if control decks actually worked. I donât know. It was the dumbest thing I ever heard which is probably why I canât remember it.
He basically said in a world of rock paper scissors, priests have to be a broken pencil and always expect to lose the game. So, keep that in mind moving forward. Mini sets will never help priests. Nor any other sets for that matter.
If you want to win, play a hunter or paladin. They are the golden children. They will always get the best stuff, itâll be months before their stuff gets nerfed, and theyâll always be on top.

So I tried this deck for fun, and matched up against a control warrior. After about 30 minutes of slow board removal, they ran out of options and conceded, but not without giving me some feedback, which I can only assume was for you as the author of the deck!
They said the deck requires no skill, is boring, is for losers, must lose to aggro and everything else, plus a word that was in the past used to demean people with chromosomal differences. Itâs the first time Iâve been friend-raged in probably 12 months, so I guess thatâs something.

In the many years the game has been around no other class has generated as much dislike as priest. Seeing priest get aggressive decks is breath of fresh air. Priest returning to their greed king status would be a nightmare.
Or maybe not. Imagine a meta of pure priests, each trying out greed each other. Not wanting to put anything down because it will just get cleared. Each player dribbling out at most one card, then getting removed. Every game going to the turn limit of 50 turns ending in a draw. Pure priest perfection.
Hereâs hoping in the next expansion, we will look back at the miniset with sudden realisation, and say âahhhh! I get itâ.
But since we are talking about Hearthstone, we will probably not.
Unity.
Precision.
Perfection.

Considering the way in which expansions are developed, I consider that mamy currently worthless cards may see some more synergy come the next expansion, or two. This is, of course, me being optimistic. For my mental health, I try to expect the best, but prepare for the worst. Itâs unfortunately Iâve needed to adopt this thinking in Hearthstone. Although, the track record here gives me ample reason to think in this way.
The problem with Priest class in general is that itâs the worst class for building up tempo, but once it gets there its the best at keeping it. Itâs just that it rarely gets there. Sure there are also the wombo combo decks where Priest found some success, but for the most part Hearthstone is a tempo based game because thatâs what the core gameplay loop favors. If they go too far with the slider and give Priest the tempo it makes the game miserable to play. IMO Tthe Priest only players really just want a different kind of game that Hearthstone will never be, but are trapped by the sunk cost fallacy.
