I have no idea how to counter resurrect priest, everyone just says play control but i think it is pretty useless because they have so much fuel to revive those minions…
Other way to counter them is hyper aggro but i very heavily dislike playing aggro decks, they are simply boring.
I’m not saying they should nerf resurrect, i just want to know some deck that works decently against every deck in standard and priest…
Not sure if half of these makes sense because it is 2am and i am annoyed because surprise surprise… Resurrect priest.
If you want to play slower decks, then there are two basic strategies you can use to improve your chances:
Pollute their res pool using transform effects (Polymorph, Hex, Tinkmaster, etc.) and/or battlecries that summon minions that summon tiny minions for your opponent (Zuldrak Ritualist, as Schyla suggests, or playing Leeroy early, etc.) In Wild with Warlock you could also Treachery a Doomsayer onto their side of the board.
This is probably the most effective way to counter them.
But you could also:
Out-value them. Unless they’re running a version with Spirits, there is a limited number of times that they can bring stuff back. You just need to be able to outlast that while still having enough to finish the game afterwards.
They are slow. Being fast is the most common way to use.
Not many decks can out value rezz priest. Not even highlanders.
In wild, other way to fight them without going aggro are using combo. They are slow while having limited slot to have antitech cards. Mech cthun decks, infinite fireballs, and many other did wonder. Just use the ones that bypass taunts.
Gala Rogue works great against Priest and most decks in Standard. Just not that new Druid deck with the reborn Taunt guy, I think. The untargetable one.
Rank 5 - Legend winrates for the most popular and highest winrate Rez Priest deck in Standard.
(Note that these percentages are how Priest fares against that deck so higher numbers mean Priest has a higher winrate against that deck)
Highlander Mage and Galakrond Rogue are all quite favored, Zoolock is slightly favored and apparently Highlander Warrior smashes it horribly. I don’t think Warrior is seeing much play right now though.
You either outvalue or outtempo them. A true control warrior deck should have atleast a 70% winrate against Ressurect Priest. Highlander Mage is more of a meta deck that does alright vs Ressurect Priest. The key is to outright destroy their minions completely to deny the priest’s ability to heal. If you can either prolong the time to conplete the quest, they’ll struggle.
SMORC is also an option, but you said that you hate face decks.
gala shaman is pretty fine too till shaman need alot turn to made sudden unbeatable and there in me deck 2 hex and 2 plegue so priest have zero chanse to winn so when i face to much priest always swap deck to shaman…just 1 problem there all other deck beat it if card draw not perfect thx for every new card nerfed on it and rogue work fine too
There is no sense in countering Priest at all. Just let them have their way with you. I know, that sounds ridiculous. But the fact of the matter is, priest is in a pretty bad way right now. Priest is only good against certain classes. And to top that off, there aren’t that many.
If you are maintaining good win rates against others, don’t sacrifice that just to counter priest. Because common sense.
I would probably go for something lile divine spirit inner fire priest. Get some board clears, mass dispel, silence, shadow madness, kabal shadow Priest, Mind control and so
Well that’s not this one, because in this one the most aggro decks are Priest (Face Hunter, Gala Warrior) and the then you have things like Highlander Mage and Galakrond Rogue that are making life miserable for Res Priest.
Embiggen Druid being bad against Priest is a really curious thing. They just play out their one big boi a turn and Priest stalls them with taunts until critical mass and the aoe comes out? I know Priest is pretty uniquely capable of dealing with the new Reborn Untargetable Taunt.
Dropping leeroy on curve when playing my quest hunter has been successful. I hard mulligan for it and use tracking for that card alone.
As has been mentioned, the best way is to pollute their rez pool, as early as possible. Also, don’t use your zeph for wild growth. I laugh when someone drops zeph on curve for wild growth. Save your zeph for when they drop infiltrator. If you can eliminate at least one of those from their rez pool you can survive.
and rogue work fine too
