These last 2 seasons there has been a extreme lack of priests in the current meta. I have been running hearthstone tracker. (there's a thread about that program if you want info) So I won 200 ranked games in 3 days and went from rank 20 to 4 at the start of this season. So I met 6 priests in total during all those games. This is my attempt to see how far I can go with a priest deck against the meta.
Deck Goal:
Almost every deck in the current meta depends on some kind of one-shot combo like Leeroy + <spell card>. By playing control priest you hardly reach that low-ish HP that they need to finish you off. That's why almost every card in my deck has removal potential. This makes you wonder, well how the fuck do you plan to win games then? Velen/leeroy is the answer. I got a few late game finishers that I can use currently.
Leeroy + ysera buff card (optional) + faceless = 22 or 12 or damage
(pre placed) velen > 2x mind blast > 2x holy smite = 28 with the spells and 35 with Velen's attack
(pre placed) velen > faceless > mindblast 2x = 40 damage
There's also a RNG factor here, velen doubles EVERY damage spell. So if I thought steal fireball it deals 12 damage. So technically I can 2x fireball + mindblast = 34 damage
opinions on the deck, etc?
