TinSonSay’s Dollmaster Stego Priest (January 2019)

“Dollmaster Stego” Priest  — guide by TinSonSay

Mulligan:

– The cards to really look for are Northshire Cleric and Dollmaster Dorian. These cards help unlock the deck’s full potential.

– If you suspect an aggro opponent, then look for Auchenai Soulpriest and Circle of Healing/Shadow Visions.

Gameplay:

– This recruit/resurrect themed priest deck seeks to overwhelm the opponent with repetitive waves of midrange threats.

– Coffin Crasher: this card’s very strong in this deck. You will always have big deathrattles for him to summon. Some of which, like Silver Vanguard, summon minions of their own.

– Dollmaster Dorian: the deck’s namesake. Pulling off Acolyte of Pain/Northshire Cleric plus Wild Pyromancer combos with this guy on board will lead to 1/1’s with powerful deathrattles being summoned then immediately killed by the Pyromancer’s effect.

– Lesser Diamond Spellstone: it can be difficult in this deck to get the Spellstone past the first upgrade, but even resurrecting three minions can be powerful if they are high value minions, such as Charged Devilsaur or Damaged Stegotron.

Pitfalls:

As always in my deck deck guides, I like to point out some of the pitfalls of the deck. By pitfalls I mean the ways for the deck to really fail at what it’s intended to do. These are things to watch out for…

– When casting Lesser Diamond Spellstone there is often a chance of summoning small minions like Northshire Cleric or Wild Pyromancer due to the randomness of the effect.

– This deck is pretty heavy. Occasionally you end up with draws that don’t allow you to do much in the early turns, which can be crippling against faster opponents.
