careful with White Eyes. He's made for an N'Zoth shaman deck but with all the Reno decks out there, N'Zoth shaman is heavily countered by Kazakus "Turn all minions into sheep".

and turn 9 dirty rat, N'zoth decks might be done

So, I opened Kazakus and Wrathion. Never had a Reno - never felt the desire to play a no-dupes deck. I don't disagree that the Reno mechanic isn't going away, but I could definitely imagine that specific RENO JACKSON card getting rotated out while they add a new one.

So, given those two cards and my general enjoyment of priest - what deck should I go for? Is it safe to craft Reno, or is there a Wrathion deck that doesn't blow? I've not seen anyone else play Wrathion in the past 3 days of laddering, which makes me nervous.

There really is no good reason not to just buy LoE. Several strong cards for only 25 bucks which is well worth it even if you can only use them for like 4-5 months in standard.

Hahahahahhahaha

hahh.

ha.

hem.


So.... After a year of LoE being out, I'm realizing in December 2016 that Reno came free with the expac. And I've never once played him. Ever.

...sigh.

I would say "feel free to mock," but let's be honest, you'll all mock with or without my suggestion, and it's kinda a bit too shameful to be funny.

Is that the right color for priest? Really can't remember from WoW.

Ended up buying some more packs last night and made some dragon priest cards. Really strong deck. Drakonid Operative MVP by far. 5 mana 5/6 and steal a card, which almost always ends up being amazing. Holy fuck.

14-7 today with mirror being my worst matchup. 2-4 against priests, with 2 losses to super greedy Reno priests and 2 to dragon priests. Ripping up pirate warriors. With 4 early taunt minions in the deck, it's really not an issue.

I can't seem to find room for my golden Wrathion though. Just seems a bit slow and my draw isn't really an issue to begin with.

Annnddd...just had aviana/kun combo come out turn 7 drawing literally their entire deck.

Maybe it is odd luck but the dailies seem to have reverted back to the older model since the expansion. I had 3 win with a class in a row.

My last three were play 50 warrior cards, 20 taunts and 75 murlocs

What list are you running? I'm 11-3 in standard at the moment but seems like the mirror matches are teching against other dragon priests better than I am, two of the losses were to other dragon priests running more late game. I generally tend to grab later dragons from the historians if it seems like the matchup calls for it, but I'm not running entomb or ysera or chillmaw and I run out of answers for the mirror.

That's exactly the situation that i'm facing most of the time. The mirror is tough for me atm since i'm finding the priests are teching against priests. I'm running just a straight overall tempo setup, with one ooze as tech for the pirates. I tried sticking in Wrathion, but it didn't seem like i was getting value out of the draws. All times except one i drew only one card, and i didn't need him for the body/taunt at 6 mana. I tried running Faerie Dragons instead of Northshire Clerics, but i got raped in the mirror by not having them.

6 out of 21 matches were priests today, should maybe start teching against them lol.

Here's the list. Zananananan is the creator.

You forgot the list..

I know the deck he means I've been running the same one.

I haven't been happy with Wrathion so far. He is ok for the body but at that point in the game I'd rather play a sweeper or something else that stabilizes my position, not what often amounts to a 'draw 1' body - that's fine if I am winning but also not needed if I am already winning. I do run four 5 drops that draw/discover me a card that I like more, he's kinda the fifth wheel. Would like him more if he was a dragon since I run alot of cards trigger on that.

Seems like good tech against fast decks like pirates but otherwise you're not going to get enough value from the draw in slower matches.
