That zero cost reborn is a major problem and no one wants to talk about it. If DK has that spell it would have been sent to HoF already by kicking it so hard it went backwards in time.
As a priest player myself, i’d say shadow priest (or is it undead priest?, you which deck i mean) needs to be tone done a notch.
With pure paladin and frost DK, it’s one of the top 3 decks of the meta.
I don’t think the +1 mana to basaleph is enough to slow the deck. The two problematic cards are undying allies and rotting necromancer. i suggest the following nerfs
Undying allies - cost 1 mana (up from 0 mana)
Rotting necromancer - reduce stats to a 4/3 (down from 5/4)
Obviously, if you slow aggro priest down, the other outlier decks like pure paladin, frost DK needs to be looked at as well.
I hate priest mostly because by the time the game is over, they’ve played like 70 cards and 20 of those were yours that they beat you over the head with
Theo and at least two silences are a must in your deck if you’re going up against a lot of priests
Yes, Priest was a problem from the beginning… it is a class which is making us lose. Blizzard keeps up this unbalance by a reason I am sure… so They won’t do anything about it… That is the way how they can block players to rank up… I just skipp those, not worth it… Waisting of time, however atleast I can lose fast… so I can move to the next match where maybe I have a chance… isntead of playing until the last god damn card and realize I have to lose because the game wants that.
I don’t have HSR Premium so I am pulling this from Bronze-Gold ranks, but it seems to be the 7th best separate card in the deck, according to both drawn and mulligan winrate. In both cases it’s the best of the cards with a down arrow.
Undying Allies is just about the most average card in Undead Priest. 13 or 14 out of 30, middle of the pack, ho hum. It’s not the major problem.
The major problems are Foul Egg, Shadow Ascendant and/or Banshee.
It’s interesting to me that people can’t understand that undying allies drives a whole bunch of this process, but most people don’t really look at stats.
It matters which deck you choose and I don’t have premium stats, but for gold it’s a clear outlier to play undying allies. The most popular list is not the best performing list.
Anyone feel like mentioning that since silence is the best way to combat what a shadow priest does (and healing being a close second) that control priest is the best way to fight shadow priest? That priest is such a good class that it counters itself?
Its so satisfying watching some silly pop off turn from a shadow priest, big board with reborns and deathrattles, and you just 1 mana silence it and board wipe it with another card. Easy way to make an aggro player either concede, or start roping every turn.
