Introduction
I am Estlander#2491 from Europe. I love deep strategy play style and I love the feeling I get from OTK wins. This deck provides you lot of fun and good win rate …if you are able to master it ofc…
It is strong against all aggro decks.
Main Strategy
-
Use your card draw possibilities effectively. Generally it is too risky to play Northshire Cleric at first turn unless you have coin and Power Word: Shield to follow. However, it might be a good idea if you face some heavy aggro deck. Try to get at least two draws with Acolyte of Pain. Heal it and buff it (it is especially valuable target for Velen's Chosen). Acolyte of Pain works great with Wild Pyromancer effect.
- Avoid face damage with your big taunts, buffing and healing them. Try to buff you taunts with Dark Cultist deathrattle.
- Use Holy Smite and Flash Heal to clear the minions if necessary. Wild Pyromancer + Holy Smite = 3 damage. Bloodmage Thalnos + Holy Smite = 3 damage. Auchenai Soulpriest+ Flash Heal = 5 damage.
- Try to take your opponents health to 20 or below with your minions or Auchenai Soulpriest + Flash Heal combo.
Gain back the board control with board clearing combos:
- Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing = 4 damage to all minions for 4 mana. You can use double Circle of Healing with one Auchenai Soulpriest to take out bigger minions or to clear minions born from deathrattle effects.
- Wild Pyromancer + any spell = 1 damage to ALL minions after each spell. Even the Circle of Healing may be used if the enemy minions are at full health. Dont forget to heal or health-buff your Wild Pyromancer or he will kill itself also.
Play Emperor Thaurissan with value:
- Play Emperor Thaurissan if you have at least one of these cards in your hand: Prophet Velen or Mind Blast. In this case you are able to play Prophet Velen and 2xMind Blast for 10 mana (20 damage).
Use Prophet Velen’s revenge to finish your opponent:
- Prophet Velen + Mind Blast = 10 damage
- Prophet Velen + 2xMind Blast = 20 damage
- Prophet Velen + 2xMind Blast + 2xHoly Smite = 28 damage
Possible replacement:
- When meta slows down consider relacing the Cabal Shadow Priest with the Alexstrasza
Enjoy!
I win before even using the combo at rank 4…
Yes, this is difficult deck to learn. Once U have learnt that the key to win is card drawing and how to do it, then it is not hard to collect all the cards u need quickly. Do not hesitate to heal enemy minions if necessary for card drawing or better use mass heal spell to fill you hand with cards within one turn. It is not rare that I have “too many cards in hand” problem and I just have to play them to make room for new cards.
Don’t know what am I doing wrong, but I was just assraped by secretpal and rogue with basic cards. It seems impossible to keep board in check and stay alive until you get combo in your hand. Other combo decks are way more consistent: patron warrior draws cards every turn and stacks armor, druid ramps and plays taunts, oil rogue clears the board. Here you have to pray to get certain cards in your hand (pyromancer with spells, auchenai with CoH, not to have velen in the bottom of the deck). Most of the cards (except smite, SWD and deathlord) are useless on its own and require other ones to work. By the time you can play anything aggro decks probably have 3 or more minions, while the best you can do is to spend two cards to wipe the board (implying opponent has no sticky minions).
