This class is so hellbent on existing to abuse mechanics it’s absurd. Lord knows the hardest part of the climb every month is entering the priest bracket.
We have everyone doing something ridiculous right now but priest stands out

Protoss priest is fun. As someone who honestly hated priest for most of the game’s existence, I’m playing a ton of priest these days. It can easily brick if your mulligan is unlucky.
Outside of some blood sucking dk interlude for the stupid event thingy, priest is all I want to play in standard.
But I can see dk nerfs long before they go after Protoss priest.

Just had that experience… my board was basically resistant to every other Protos minion they could possibly play, they even had a full hand so they didn’t got much value from their mother ship, they got 3 Protos minion. Guess which ones when I was sitting at 24 HP.
And here I am, having just lost a game cuz mothership only gave me immortals and sentries (doesn’t help the warrior ate one of my motherships with Hamm earlier)
Or games where I couldn’t get the resus jank fast enough (whereas my priest opponents always seem to have the perfect curve, drawing/tutoring through his deck quickly)
The variance between bad curve/low rolls and god curve/high rolls is just so wide.
Semi-related, that wilted shadow OTK priest deck is also very… feast or famine.
Like my brain understands in the aggregate it probably balances out, but my heart feels like there’s a better way to design a priest deck.

EVERYTIME A PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST, WARLOCK, PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST.
THIS FREAKING PROTOSS PRIEST IS A PLAGUE AT DIAMOND 5-1.
Why the hell the game is designed to be a hatefull like this???

The game is completely rigged…
It’s exactly the same with the matchmaking here:
Priest, Praise, Paladin, DK, Priest, DK Priest, Praise, DK, and each of them draws a perfect curve…
The new expansion will be exactly the same, only Priest and DK are good…
If you play anything else, you’re the clown…
I prefer playing Marvel Snap…I’ll probably do the quest here, but I don’t care about the quests anymore, the game is dead.
and after the extension it’s the same nonsense for 4 months

I have always hated priest as a class because it’s always been like you’ve said, just for the sole purpose of mechanic abuse and being extremely un-interactive and unfun to play against. Either they hit their solitare wombo combo and win or they lose in very dissapointing fashion.
And if it’s not combo cheese it’s some sort of control deck that can play non-stop removals from hand and board clears turn after turn and no minion you play normally will even make it a single turn alive.
Why would anybody want to play against that?
Protoss on the other hand, is unhealthy in the same way as control priest but even more extreme because it punishes the opponent for playing any minions beyond just the wasting their card and turn. Everything protoss does generates mana cheat and scales up minions as a baked-in side effect just for mindlessly spamming removals on anything and everything that the opponent dares play. It makes it my best move to literally just go AFK. This is a dumb design. Idk why anyone would play this except to make other people suffer.

Well this just happened.
Priest mirror
Me being the off meta guy that I am, ran repackage and imbue along with my protoss stuff
But I got off my resus earlier (even if it’s ressing two things, the important piece is sentry after all)
And two repackages reset his board, along with denying him ressing a 3 drop rush later
I manage to drop my mothership with hallucinate first
He use vol’jin to go through one mothership, and resus rush helped with the other, he wiped my board and brought me down to 4 health (if resus had 3 drop I might have been dead)
But mothership gave me exactly one of each templar needed to clear his biggest threats.
And oh look, top decked halluincation on archon. The double archon cleared the rest of his board and leave carrier a clean shot at face.
Yes, that’s a board wipe plus 32 damage to the face in a single turn.
Again my brain knows that a protoss mage given time can do that with a colossus or two, and there are other crazy things in the game, but my heart still doesn’t feel comfortable that this is a good priest playstyle for their decks to build around (whether it’s for the next 4 months or in some future deck with similar vibes)

Sometimes priest also gets to do this.
And thanks to resuscitate, they actually have a way to win games before turn 12.
