Finished off my first climb to Legend... with Rez Priest

Submitted 3 years, 11 months ago by

I know it's a polarizing deck, but nothing else was working for me past Diamond 10 than Priest. Dragon Hunter, followed up with pre-nerf DH, got me up to Diamond pretty quickly, but I couldn't sustain any momentum after that. 

Rez Priest, swapping cards in and out occasionally, work like a charm. 71% from Diamond 9, finishing with an 11 win streak (including dumpster legend, >10k). 

FWIW, I love Soul Mirror. Probably superfluous in a deck with 2XPlague of Death, but there are those rare times you can copy something super useful, e.g. the time I copied a Archmage Vargoth after my own went down to Hex. Shenanigans!

GL;HF out there, everyone!

    Well played, sir!

    I'm a long time dad legender too, who hit full legend this week for the first time with a dirty aggro DH deck. Don't plan on making a habit of it, but ground it out pretty easily given it's such a broken deck and picked up my free classic legendary.

    Bagged myself a Natalie Seline - what did you get?

    May all your legendaries be golden.

    Congratulations! I'm not a fan of the Rez Priest deck but it's still no easy feat to reach legend with it. Mind sharing your stats?

    Congratz! I am doing the climb right now but in wild. It seems like chance. Sometime I find 8 quest mage in a row and others I cant find them. At least I found a way to counterplay them.

    Right now I am playing razakus priest so most aggro decks fall short as you have ton of removal. Just OTK and control kinda stop me if I dont get my own combo. Just reached diamond 5 and now gonna rest till tomorrow. Or wait for the nerfs, not sure

    With a couple of iterations, I went 48-23 (68%) with Priest overall in Diamond league. Finished on a 7-game win streak.

    • DH:  12-10
    • Druid: 2-3
    • Hunter: 6-1
    • Mage: 4-2
    • Paladin: 3-0
    • Priest: 3-0
    • Rogue: 5-2
    • Shaman: 2-1
    • Warlock: 11-4

    In hindsight, I thought about the climb and tried Dragon and Highlander Hunter, and also Tempo DH, again at Diamond 5 with some success. I swapped back to Priest when they all stalled out. 11.9 min average game length - not for the impatient.
