Dragon Priest

After two days of testing:

[deck]Dragon Priest[/deck]

Gotta get admin on getting those recognized as cards.

I like these dragon decks in general. Haven't played them since I don't have the cards, but you just have to respect the raw power. That feeling when you know every one of your cards are just better than your opponent's.

When you're on curve it's just ridiculous.

Deck seems very strong. One problem I've face when playing with it is that you're actually comically bad against Archamage Anotnidas.

I've been running double SW:D for basically that reason. Shit is tilting when you're basically dominating and then get domed by quad FIreball.

This deck is great, just a matter of figuring out the exact tech cards we want to run.

Yeah the deck needs to be built properly, which means knowing the meta. Until then you just randomly have u winnable games

Vol'jin hasn't been amazing either; loatheb could be better, though the deck feels pretty good vs spell decks anyway.

Here's my data after a few days of testing:

Rogue; 1w, 0l; 100%
Warlock; 2w, 2l; 50% (two wins vs. zoo, two losses vs. handlock)
Warrior; 3w, 3l; 50% (three wins vs. patron, three losses vs control warrior)
Priest; 3w, 0l; 100%
Druid; 3w, 5l; 37%
Mage; 4w, 2l; 67%
Hunter; 4w, 1l; 80%
Shaman; 2w, 0l; 100%
Paladin; 7w, 2l; 77%

For 64% overall.

Not making any changes to my list until the meta settles a little more and I have more data to work from. I think short of adding Rend Blackhand and the second Shadow Word: Death,the control matchups are going to remain basically unwinnable - and even then they still might not be winnable.

-1 Chromaggus, +1 Mind Control.

Cut Vol'jin and readded a Shadow Madness due to the infinite aggro. Deck is easily one of the best when you curve well, some of the mulligans are disgustingly bad.

Also everyone is still on Shadow Priests which I think is jank as fuck considering the meta, though I guess if you get divine shield guys it isn't absolutely the worst. Honestly tho it usually only comes up for me in the Priest mirror where I sometimes have to be careful about value Clerics.

Cabals certainly arent good right now. They play Mysterious Challenger, you take a 2 drop? GL.

The deck is basically a Delver deck; your good draws are too good, your bad draws are awful.
