Mulligan Guide

Deck Description

Remember when Spiteful Priest was "OP!!1!" and then Blizzard had to nerf Spiteful Summoner? Well, I tried creating a new version of Spiteful Priest. Had a solid run (after the nerf) with this deck going from rank 5 to rank 3 with a 21/7 win-lose ratio (75%). Fun fact: From the 7 losses I had, 4 of them were Druid; I went against 5 Druids (NERF STANDARD DRUID BLIZZARD).

Good matchups: Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Paladin, Shaman

Neutral matchups: Priest, Warlock, Warrior

Bad matchups: Druid

How-to-play: This deck is a mix between Deathrattle Hunter and Spiteful Priest. In saying that, you want to make your plays similar to Deathrattle Hunter in the early-mid turns (eg. get egg, crack egg, eat egg). But once Turn 7 comes around and you have Spiteful Summoner in your hand, you want to switch your play style to Spiteful Priest-like (big boys).

Mulligan:

General: Northshire Cleric, Prince Keleseth, Devilsaur Egg, Saronite Chain Gang

Vs Aggro: Duskbreaker (only if you have another dragon), Saronite Chain Gang, Mind Control Tech (depending on the aggro deck), Defender of Argus (only if you have a three-drop)

Vs Control: Gilded Gargoyle, Cobalt Scalebane and Carnivorous Cube if you also have an egg, Zola the Gorgon (if you have Keleseth), Spiteful Summoner, Big Game Hunter (if against even warlock)

Dream-game:

Turn 1: Northshire Cleric

Turn 2: Prince Keleseth

Turn 3: Zola the Gorgon the Keleseth or Devilsaur Egg

Turn 4: Defender of Argus or Spiritsinger Umbra

Turn 5: Cobalt Scalebane or Carnivorous Cube

Turn 6: Coin + Spiteful Summoner

Turn 7: Spiteful Summoner
