hey! 🙂 playing the list without SR is suboptimal to be honest, cause besides being such a good control option, it is kind of your gameplan to burn down your opponent bit by bit. In some matchups you play SR turn 8 asap without making use of its battlecry and start going face.

ok, gonna give it a try! How does your dragon package look like? No Scaleworm I guess?

2) I would not cut Psychic Scream. It is good to very good in every Matchup at a certain point in the match. And as I would ‘nt cut Psychic Scream, I would’nt add a second copy of Mass Dispel, because both cards do a bit of the same thing in some way. I also have to say I’ve been pretty satisfied with 1 copy of Mass Dispel. I almost never fished for it with Mind Visions, but that 1 copy came in handy sometimes.

Thanks you for the feedback! 🙂

This take on Mind Blast Priest is teched against Control – and Spiteful decks, (Cube – and Controllock, the Mirror, Control Mage and Spiteful Druid to name it) because that are the decks that were popping up for me at the time i build it and the non-Murloc Paladin Matchup should still be decent. That has been the inspiration for the list.

To your points:
1) The second SW:D besides two Twilight Acolytes is clearly a flex spot in the list. If you aren’t running into so much Warlock and more into Aggro, I would swap it immidiately for Twilight Drake, mainly for the Dragon Tag, but also as a body and the Silence bait you mentioned. SW:D is the only clean early answer to Mountain Giant, though.

thanks for the nice reply! 🙂 mind blast priest should be the way to go with priest, but within the archetype it seems you are more flexible than some might think.

Thanks 🙂 yeah it’s a lot of fun besides being a good option for ladder

I played no druid so far, which deck do you mean, can you post a link pls? I played a few games against baku hunter and this deck does well against them, this deck takes over the board real quick

Thanks, writing down your thoughts and some explanation about the decks is a nice service!

7 – 3 at Rank 3, does its job, cycles excellent through the deck!
I didn’t like the Lighttwarden too much, so I swapped it for one SW Death (Mountain Giant).
It feel like it needs another big sticky minion like Quartz Elemental (2nd copy), but then you would probably need a 2nd Divine Hymn too. Any suggestions?

Sorry, but I think you only see, what you want to see here. First of all, I don’t get the point with the power spike. I can immagine what you mean with it. I think you want to say, that a 4/4 on 3 isn’t that great standalone. I think a 4/4 on 3 is good in tempo rogue, as long as it doesn’t freeze your fire firefly of turn 1, and even more important, your whole board later in the game. The potential to become a 5/5 unanswered, makes it even better. Now you say it could be answered and I say, of course it can be answered. But it’s a lot harder to answer than a tempo SI:7 against control for example. That’s what makes it such a good proactive turn 3 play. Think of Warlocks or Priests removal options in the current Metagame. A 4/4 on Turn 3 is nuts against these decks. Do we really have to discuss about Swarmer? Yeah, you’re right, Swarmer has a great Statline on 3, but the downside of having to attack is so bad, i don’t know what to say else here, honestly.

What you do is comparing slightly overstatted cards with a reasonable downside, what makes them unplayable in constructed, to a slightly overstatted card (in rogue), which even has an upside.

I think you are wrong on this one. This is way above average for rogue on 3. I don’t know, if you played Keleseth Rogue pre Patches nerf, but if you did, you will have played SI:7 Agent on 3 for tempo a lot of times, not making use of its combo. While SI:7 having its own strengths, this is a much better proactive play.
It knocks for 5 on Turn 4, demands an answer, but has a good survivability with 4 health, baits the removal if they have it, even aggro opponents would often care about it to prevent favorable trades for you. All in all it sets up an uncomfortable turn for your opponent (curve/gameplan disruption) and if they can’t answer it, it even hits harder next turn.
I also don’t know why you compare it to cards in the 4 cost slot (Darin Reporter), but I’m sure Tempo Rogue is glad having both SI:7 and this one. In miracle i could see the Fox, though. Not sure.

You forget, that you don’t want to freeze your minions in tempo rogue, not to mention what a bad topdeck Hyldnir Frostrider can be.

Or did you just see it as a way to feed Call to arms, which has the potential to get a nice bonus when played from hand while occassionally holding a dragon?

hey, I’m looking up gargoyle Paladin lists for my own list right know, to see how many dragons people end up with in their lists to support it. I’m pretty sure 4 is not enough.

Hope it will help!

Edit: Kappa

Druid OP………..next expansion!

I don’t know if I am right here, but i think Psychic Stream could be really good as an “oh shit button” in Lady in White decks.

Good idea with Countess, Muck Hunter and Spirit Lash! I like 😉

Hey!
I tried it and personally didn’t like it, I tried it first for Ironbeak Owl, and it was too much draw, then for Acolyte, as you said, and it still felt clunky…

DMH Warrior looses Fishes and Coldlight, so it has to fill up deck spaces anyway. So yes, it’s definitely worth to try, especially considering the two reasons you mentioned.

I’m skeptical going for the fatigue-plan without coldlight, though. Think we will have to find a second win condition at least.
