    Advice on Mulligans/Matchups??

    1. Sweetie bunny#1330

      Decks fairly bad. Good for fun competing games, but on ladder it seems to lack luster. Being an exclusive priest player, it’s nice to pull my gold priest caress to use. Falls short to a lot of aggro

      1. PTR

        Claming about Rank 1 deck that is bad :D You must be more likely rly bad player, cause this deck is good af !

        1. NOC

          SweetBunny is right, this deck is bad when we compared with other decks in the meta (probably only tier-3 at best). The fact that Asmodai is an amazing player does not cover for the deck's weakness.

          1. Meta

            Asmodai didn't even create this deck. All he does is copy other people's decks and acts like he invented them. And then when you comment about it on his stream he permabans you. Just shows you the type of garbage player he is.

          2. DukeStarswisher

            @Meta It doesn't really matter. I know that Savjz was the first to build the deck. I hope everyone else realizes that too.

            Also I don't watch Asmodai, but if what you say is true, I probably never will.

          3. Klutcher

            @DukeStarwisher If you watch Asmo's stream he puts Savjz as the deck name, dont listen to this troll he gave him full credit

        2. Cruxkid

          The deck IS bad. If you cant see how bad the deck is you must be really bad

          1. Rog

            Perhaps....you’re bad?

          2. Boki

            this deck is much harder to play and master than your average zoolock/midrange hunter/fatigue druid these mediocrities here are used to... people are gonna suck with it pretty bad and claim its weak

          3. Anon

            2 people have recently hit rank 1 legend with this deck, but it’s DEFINITELY the deck that’s bad, not me!!! That would be impossible I’m the best player in the world, I would be rank 1 legend too if I could only make it past rank 15!!!

          4. crushit

            It's not bad, it's just trash.

          5. cruxkid

            I troll I troll

      2. Jp

        I just piloted this from Rank 15 to 5 only losing two matchups: one odd paladin, one Zoolock. To say the deck is bad on ladder is subjective. Learn how to mulligan properly and stay aware of your win conditions. It is definitely a harder matchup for aggro, but even if it means your turn 6 is using Eternal Servitude on a Bloodmage, they're still very winnable. You don't always need to shadow visions for a Mind Blast so keep that in mind as well. Most of the time just the two Mind Blasts in the deck is far more than lethal.

        1. Cruxkid

          There is no way you climbed from 15 to 5 with this deck and only 2 losses. Go away troll

          1. Rezolution

            He meant he'd consistently lose to two archetypes. Others felt 50/50 or better, so it's climbable just not in certain meta's.

          2. mirulu

            @cruxkid

            there is no way you will use your and leave your bias behind n while reading the comments

    2. bNy

      I haven't done extensive playing with the deck or watched Savjz or asmodais play it on stream but the games I've had has been easy and I have quite the amount of experience with priest.

      Radiant Elemental, Glided Gargoyle and Shadow Visions. Psychic scream and a combo like blood mage+spirit lash or holy smite can be good to keep around as well or one of the shadow word cards (depending on what opponent you get). There's also a few greedy picks you can keep vs many of the meta decks like Eternal Serv+Shadow Essence.

      The deck have several different win conditions, everything from just building up a massive board to the OTK combo with cloning, coin, spell.

    Typical comment hating on streamers doing their own thing since its their source of livelihood. Thank god he permabans asswipes like you

  3. Lordfolken52

    asmo re-climbed from rank5 from a different server back to legend btw using this deck exclusively. The deck can be piloted efficiently if you know your matchups

  4. Baequila

    I have all the cards except lich king lyra and xiliax, can I run this deck ?

    1. DukeStarswisher

      Absolutely not.

      1. Baequila

        Now i have Lyra, can i run this deck ?

        1. Guadan

          It will still be much weaker if you don’t have lich king. Lich king is like a huge board presence versus control or other combo decks. Zilliax is not that important, but it can be good against aggro sometimes.

        2. DukeStarswisher

          You have to have the others too. Otherwise you will lose against any aggro matchup. If you are missing the only two taunt minions in the deck, you are gonna have a rough time. Plus I'm pretty sure zilliax is one of the MVP's since the 6 mana 5/5 you could potentially summon will completely swing the game in your favor.
          Lich will also give you spells that can further your spellstone alongside being an excellent board presence.

          In big decks generally, you really can't omit any single card because there are only so many specific minions in the deck.

        3. DukeStarswisher

          I'll also add that both Lich and zilliax are extremely safe crafts so if you have the dust, craft them now.

  5. Wolfogo10

    can I replace the lich king with ysera, have all the other cards except for the lich king

    1. cruxkid

      Like, you can, but lich king has taunt

  6. Leper

    Anybody had any luck with the Death Knight? I've found it extremely useful is some against big boards and for that extra reach, especially with Velen (a potential 8 damage w/ the coin at 10 mana). In other matchups, it sat dead in my hand for a while.

    1. MinhV

      Yeah, i have, replacing 2 holy smite with binding heal to deal with zoo and deathknight to cover the lost damage

  7. MinhV

    The last 2 cards i lack of in this deck is lyra and maly. Should i crafte Lyra just to run this deck cause been planning on crafting maly for a while.

    1. Jayo

      Yes Lyra is well worth crafting, potential for insane value and for this deck adding cards for the OTKO.

      1. MinhV

        Finally crafting both of them and they are worth it, maly obviously is already but having lyra to run this deck is absolutely amazing. Gave me so much fun playing it and a decent winrates from rank 8 to 5 too.

  8. kapitansiemka

    Two days ago I got legend first time ever. playn from 5 to L within 3 days. nice off meta :D thx Asmo!!!

  9. Mattias Wiklund

    I must be bad, I´m at rank 20 and staying there with this deck.

    1. Pinnski3

      Maybe u just cant play it xD i mean to stay or start after reset already so low says enogth

      1. Mattias Wiklund

        It took some tome to learn, I'm climbing up the ranks now with this deck. Played vs a Rogue today and he had me at 7 hp. Then I played Zereks cloning gallery and killed him with two mindblast. :D

        1. Karma#2913

          Also rank 20 seems to be more aggro-oriented.. kinda shitty matchup if draw is off.

    2. Sealbinder

      Mattias, the deck is better higher up in the ranks. The lower ranks have a lot more aggressive decks. I would recommend something else for ranking until you get to higher ranks. Though if you want to play this deck for fun go for it.

      The deck is a ton of fun to play, so even if you lose, as long as you are enjoying yourself it does not matter.

  10. SanctusFaustus

    I’m new at the game, played mtg for a couple of years tho. Should I start with an easier deck or just build this one? (I crafted a couple of legendaries already)

    1. TheoHiort

      Think you should try to learn all of the fundamentals of the game first, there's a lot you need to know about the meta and what a lot of cards do to be able to have fun with this deck.

    2. Troll

      If you play games for fun try this deck..

  11. Luis Martin Galindo Gonzalez

    What can i substitute lyra with?

    1. Mattias Wiklund

      Nothing to be honest, just get it.
