Unshallach’s Dragonpriest

Hi there my name is Unshallach and I get often around ranks between 5 and legend. I fell in Love with Dragonpriest because its such a fun deck to play and is actualy at the moment a good deck to play. This are my stats so far:

The Matchups:

1. Mage: Against Mage you often will have a good time, if you play it correctly and when the mage doesnt snowball the     game with tempostuff like manawyrm. First you have to find out, if it is a burn, freeze or a secretmage. In my opinion you have to be careful against burnmage. Because sometimes they have so much dmg that they can just go face with the dmg, and your only healing tool in is binding heal and heropower. Sometimes you get lucky and get an Alexstrasza aswell as a healing option. Sometimes you get it from the Netherspite Historian or from Drakonid Operative. Try against mage to get  bordcontroll with 3 good stated cards or with 2 good stated cards and 2 bad stated cards. So you always make the mage question should I use boardclear now or later and sometimes they use fireballs and frostbolts to clear your stuff and thats the best, what can happen to you. Because you will not get out of cards that fast and  you can generate aswell often more cards. So be happy, when they kill stuff with fireballs. One thing what you have to be carefull about is Medivh, the Guardian.  Every mage can have a one in his deck. Just keep Gluttonous Ooze ,if you think you can otherwise use it for tempo. With Cabal Shadow Priest  you want to look out for Bloodmage Thalnos . Elise the Trailblazer will not play a role because often the games end earlier and you dont need the value because the most value you get from the mage cards generated with Drakonid Operative and Curious Glimmerroot.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The mulligan:  The standard you always want to keep are: Curious Glimmerroot, Potion of Madness,Northshire Cleric, Radiant Elemental, Kabal Talonpriest,Tar Creeper. IF: you have Radiant Elemental keep always Power Word: Shield. IF: you think you have already a good mulligan then keep aswell a Drakonid Operative.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Tipps: When you discover which kind of mage it is then you know what secrets you should be playing around. Burn and Freezemage should only run Ice Barrier and Ice Block. Sure they can get secrets from Primordial Glyph and Babbling Book. But the chances are low and with Primordial Glyph they often search for additional dmg or boardclear. Just  general tipp against mage. Clear the manawyrm as fast a possible. Don’t hesitate! And be carefull on turn 8 dont let the mage play a free medivh keep him under presure. 

If you found this usefull so far, leave a comment and tell me your thoughts. Please tell me with which classes you struggle the most with this deck if you tried it. For me personaly it is druid. Jadedruid destroys you in the lategame and tokendruid destroys you anyway in 80% of the cases.
