Guys, I made Miracle Druid. It is fucking AMAZING to play. I haven't had this much fun playing Hearthstone since I started playing.

Decklist?

You find all of the fun decks.

[xRECKONERx]

I'm posting from memory so i'm probably wrong about some of this... but... from what I remember:

THE ENGINES:
2x Gadgetzan Auctioneers
2x Violet Teacher
2x Coldlight Oracle

THE DUDES TO GET YOU THERE:
2x Azure Drake
1x Bloodmage Thalnos
2x Keeper of the Grove

THE SPELL FODDER:
2x Innervate
2x Wild Growth
2x Moonfire
2x Claw
2x Swipe
2x Wrath
2x Naturalize (yes, Naturalize)

THE FINISHERS:
2x Savage Roar
2x Power of the Wild
1x Force of Nature

---

I'm probably missing some cards but that's the basic deck idea.

FUN THINGS TO KNOW:

You can easily and pretty consistently open up the game with some combination of Coldlight Oracle + Naturalize. This forces them to draw FOUR cards usually on turn 3/4 (or earlier with coin), which makes them start burning cards. They have to make suboptimal plays just to empty their hand so they're not burning away legendaries off the top deck. This strategy kicks special ass against Handlock & Miracle Rogue. Yeah, go ahead and hold onto your cards, asshole.

I usually use the Auctioneers early to draw through my deck... play out the Violet Teachers, then use the rinkydink spells to pump out 1/1s, trade into any taunt guys, and finish with a Savage Roar + Power of the Wild combo for tons of damage.

Deck can struggle against Zoo & Aggro, particularly, because of the lack of taunts. This is why Thalnos + Drake + Swipe are in the deck.

This deck is all or nothing. You draw through fucking everything then hope your hand full of spells can do enough shit to turn that army of 1/1s into killing machines, and usually it can. I won about 8/10 games w/ this last night.

It's like a conglomeration of Mill Druid, Token Druid and... Moonfire. Looks fun though.

Current deck I'm working with (in addition to playing around with Priest shenanigans - Eggro and Tank n Spank (Spectral Knight into Temple Enforcer too good)):

Control Hunter

BEST SYNERGY EVER:
2x Wild Pyromancer
2x Hunter's Mark
2x Acolyte of Pain

MORE CARD DRAW AND REMOVAL:
2x Loot Hoarder
2x Azure Drake
2x Arcane Shot
2x Deadly Shot

TRAPS N SHIT:
2x Explosive Trap
2x Freezing Trap
1x Snipe
1x Misdirection
2x Eaglehorn Bow

THE FINISHERS:
2x Savannah Highmane
1x Ragnaros, The Firelord

SILVER BULLETS:
1x Deathlord
1x Sen'jin Shieldmasta
1x Captain Greenskin
1x Loatheb
1x Sludge Belcher

Synergy - Wild Pyro + Hunter's Mark instakills whatever you want. Best against Zoo, assuming they've already hatched their Egg(s), and Druid bigstuff. Throw in Acolyte of Pain and you're guaranteed some card draw. Plus you can trigger Pyro off of traps and boost Arcane Shots too. Remember to play traps and Wild Pyro combo stuff in the right order or you'll kill your Pyro.

Card draw and Removal - Loot Hoarder is a great early play you should always try and mull for (or keep). Drakes may not seem that amazing, but not only does this deck need card draw, but occasionally you get value off of Snipe/Explosive/Arcane Shot + spellpower. Deadly Shot isn't great against fast Zoo openings or Shaman, but it's worth it to run two.

Traps n Shit - Explosive Trap is slightly less good against Zoo thanks to Nerubian Egg, but it just requires better timing. Still good against non-Egg swarm decks. It ends up being a finisher in other matchups. Freezing Trap is used to combat Druid Innervate plays, Zoo's Doomguards, and other problematic tempo plays. One Misdirection and one Swipe as a hedge against Zoo, because free Egg hatching sucks so two Snipes can be bad. Not sure how to feel about Misdirection though, I might swap it out for something else... Anyway, Snipe is good against Druid Innervate plays (with other assistance tools for stuff like Yeti), Shaman Unbounds, Azure Drakes, Auctioneers... only problem is if they have other creatures to attack with, it's easy to identify a Snipe. Eaglehorn Bow is good for constant pressure or early removal depending on the matchup and is very necessary to handle things like Feral Spirits or early Acolyte of Pain.

Finishers - Highmane and Rag. Rag doesn't typically get played until turn 10+. Be careful of playing either of these into Polymorph, Hex, or Shadow Word Death (or any removal in general but these are the worst ones). If necessary, try using other minions to bait out removal first. Keep Highmane in your opener in matchups where it's hard to deal with, notably Druid (maybe Warrior).

Silver bullets - I'm playing around with these last 5 slots. Taz is a good turn 4 play against aggro, Greenskin works wonderfully with an Eaglehorn Bow while laying down a threat that usually baits removal. Belcher is typically more useful than Taz, but I'm hedging 1-and-1 due to mana issues. Taz is actually the only 4-drop in the deck, which is usually fine given that Trap + Hero Power is a very common turn 4 for me. But sometimes you want the Taz. Loatheb is a great Tempo play when you're nearing the endgame, and I've had people waste their entire turn to deal with it (dat 8 mana Hex/Shadow Word Death) only for me to plop down a finisher or otherwise kill them. And finally, I'm testing a Deathlord. I don't think I want two, either lategame or against Control Warrior/Druid, but this deck has a lot of trouble when it gets low on life and Deathlord is such a good tempo play against Zoo. Plus, with Deadly Shots and Hunter's Mark I usually don't care if they get a big dude in return.

Suggestions welcome.

if the idea is board clear until finishers, then maybe continue with the theme of AoE clearing by using the taunt minions with aoe death rattles or baron

2x Lightning Bolt
2x Ancestral Spirit
1x Bloodmage Thalnos
1x Wild Pyromancer

2x Earth Elemental
1x Faceless Manipulator
2x Fire Elemental
1x Ragnaros

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Wow.

Stoneskin gargoyle restore to full health actually counts as a heal.

Now, you'd think this combos great with cleric, but it also comboes awfully with auchenai.

tried Abomination, I liked it before Nerubian Egg came out and caused me a ton of problems. Also burning yourself for two in the mid to lategame matters when you don't have heals.

Wow. That's hilarious!

Silence effects have gotten much stronger imo with some of these nixx cards.

so trump hit legend #2 with priest

who's ready for a ladder full of priests?

[Human Destroyer]

(actually I'll probably be playing priest myself, but probably not the trump version)

[chamber]

Already feeling it.

After playing my first game against chamber yesterday I was kicking myself that I had been lazy and not made more decks to choose from. Lesson learned.

[InflatablePie]

guys priest isn't even that good

like what am I supposed to do with this

There was one game I lost because I had both eviscerate and cold blood in my hand and I confused which was which with like 2 mana.

Welp.

[InflatablePie]

what did you like thoughtsteal a duplicate or something

His Rag. Twice. Then mine.

Props to him for not conceding after the second. I plopped them down one after the other, he killed one, then gave up after the third.

Cabal is interesting. Why not two Pyro? Worse against Eggs but does okay against Zoo otherwise and is amazing against Hunter.

Two Yeti is a solid choice, hard for other Priests to deal with. How's your Miracle matchup with only Sludge Belcher?

Have you tried Deathlord? And how are you liking Cobra? Sorry for all the questions, I've been bouncing between Priest and a few other classes, curious about some choices

Cabal is interesting.

SW:P is a metagame call; Sludge Belcher, Violet Teacher, and Deathlord are all susceptible to it, to name a few.

Cabal Shadow Priest is just so much value. It's scary and hard to play around.

Why not two Pyro? Worse against Eggs but does okay against Zoo otherwise and is amazing against Hunter.

Hunter is already an easy matchup and it actually isn't very good against Zoo since most of their minions have more than 1 Health (also, as you said, Nerubian Egg).

It's also partly because I only have one Golden Wild Pyromancer.

Two Yeti is a solid choice, hard for other Priests to deal with. How's your Miracle matchup with only Sludge Belcher?

I haven't run into Miracle yet (too low on ladder probably) but I imagine Loatheb and Sludge Belcher making it a decent matchup, though not an amazing one.

Have you tried Deathlord? And how are you liking Cobra? Sorry for all the questions, I've been bouncing between Priest and a few other classes, curious about some choices

I haven't tried Deathlord, but the downside scares me too much against control, especially when I see what happens when

I

kill one. If you wanted to put it in, I'd probably replace the SW:Ps, since they serve a similar purpose.

Emperor Cobra is nice because it's a pseudo-taunt in a pinch, but every now and then takes out something ridiculous like a Ragnaros (yes this actually happened and it was glorious). It's also great against Deathlord because of heals, btw.
