I can to the same conclusion – so ditched it for Leroy anyway as I was pretty much just using it as a finisher.

I’m currently running a less Demon oriented package with Cobalt Scalebanes and only 1 Doomguard as getting both in your hand before turn 5 happens far too often for my liking and the amount of discard then can be crippling – or you’ll just throw one away.

I’ve started using Zola the Gorgon for the flexibility – 2nd Keleseth, 3rd Bonemare or 3rd Scalebane can be invaluable.

It’s funny that one of the things standard was supposed to do was keep the meta fresh by rotating out omnipresent cards like Dr Boom, ensuring new archetypes every expansion/year – but the reduced card pool just seems to have made it so that there are fewer viable decks at any given time resulting in a more stale game as soon as the meta settles down.

It’s actually a more diverse game playing in Wild at the moment; Mage alone has 3 or 4 viable archetypes for instance (Secret, Spell-based aggro with Flamewaker, Freeze/Exodia and even Mech-Mage is still doable… I wouldn’t be surprised if a Big Spells Mage wasn’t viable as well).

Does seem a bit odd since moving cards to the “Hall of Fame” is one way they avoid nerfing things (Azure Drake)… seems a bit like it would be closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Somebody missed the memo: https://youtu.be/-jenlSf2E8o

Alex is also versatile and can get you lethal – especially if you dropped Alanna the turn before and have a few of those 5/5 dragons left.

I thought that – should have ploughed the bat into a Darkspawn… but I’m not sure how the effects would have queued.

Best case scenario, the damage from the exploding bat causes Acidmaw to kill everything before it dies.

Worst case scenario, if the explosion from the bat kills Acidmaw before its poison triggers, then ploughing the bat into the middle spawn would have killed that and Acidmaw leaving the last spawn on 1 health.

“However, most victories seem to be obtained by just outlasting and out-valuing it.” … good luck with that 😀

I reckon this is far an away the hardest boss – but it’s nice to know the damned thing is beatable, I’ve never managed it and I had him 5x in a row when trying to complete my Priest run.

This deck isn’t the strongest and Runespear is pretty rubbish… but it is fun as all hell to play 😀

When a Priest suddenly realises that playing Shadowreaper Anduin is not gonna save him from 5x Flamewreathed Faceless with Ancestral Spirit! … or that Hunter that concedes when you nuke all his wolves, and regain all your health, with Hallazeal and Lightning Storm.

Well – I got a legendary in one of the three KFT packs from the brawl… guess which one I got :/

It’s sad because 1: it’s a bad card and 2: I packed it rather than something better 😉

It’s a little sad that, even in a deck that seems well suited for it, Dragon Soul doesn’t appear to be worth using 😐

That’s what I was missing!

I’ve been using a deck really similar to this, on and off, since K&C was released but I was getting completely wrecked on the ladder so I’ve been tweaking and experimenting with it… but I completely forgot about Doomsayer 😐

Time to ditch the Ancestral Spirits and Farsights for better defence against aggro I think.

I’m thinking Dragon Priest with Shadow Word Pain and Book Wyrm might not be a bad call… maybe Crazed Alchemist. Assuming the “presents” are 0/X minions.

I’ve completed the dungeon run will all classes … but I never managed to defeat The Darkness – a guide for _that_ scumbag would be most appreciated 😀

*sigh* … and I dusted Taldaram a few weeks ago as I figured he wasn’t going to be that useful 😐

Then again, I used the dust to help craft Bloodreaver Gul’dan (he’s hilarious in Wild) … so maybe it was still the right call.

I like the idea – but I think you’ve taken it too far; the OTK actually just requires 5 cards. 1x Corrupted Healbot (has to die for setup) then 2x Twighlight’s call, 1x Embrace the Shadow, 1x Circle of Healing => 32 damage.

You could possibly make a reasonable Resurrect/Big Priest deck and squeeze these 5 cards in as an additional win condition rather than attempting to base the entire deck around it. A couple of Shadow Essences would give you the flexibility to pull the healbot or Y’Shaarj (if your angling big) depending on what you need – and there might be some mileage in it.

I packed the Priest weapon and experimented with Lyra and the spellstones.

… it didn’t really work.

Dragon Priest _without_ the weapon is actually a lot stronger.

They won’t by much – the Pirate package gives you minions to sacrifice/trade at speed enabling a free Corridor Creeper very quickly… but they are by no means the only way to achieve that goal (e.g. any Zoo deck).

And if you’ve got a free Corridor Creeper and Bonemare to hand, you’ve got a 9/9 Taunt plus a 5/5 for 7 mana. Bonemare is too broken to become weak – it’s Houndmaster level of value but isn’t restricted to Hunter or Beasts.

Finally beaten it with every class – Priest took me more attempts than all the others combined! I was beginning to wonder if Priest got The Darkness for the final boss every time 😐 Beat it when I got Vustrasz instead.
