MariaTaylor 09/04/17 10:58:01 AM #303:	Arena #23 I was Offered: Hunter/Priest/Shaman I Picked: Priest This will be my first Priest draft of the expansion. Let's see what Priest arena is like now... The Draft: Was offered really, really bad synergy picks. In fact like my first 5 picks were all terrible. Amazing. I did draft mostly stall/control cards at the low mana slot but.... here's the problem... I barely got ANY heavy value-oriented cards to build up to. This means I'm just one of those annoying priest decks that can make games last forever but has no win condition. This is really, really, really bad. I could easily see this deck going 0-3. I can't even conceptualize how it would win any matches. Checking the tier score confirms my suspicions and it is among the lowest quality decks I've drafted. Sooo yeah. Against aggro I'll just get rushed down and killed, against control they will always out value me. The only people I can beat are unlucky ones who somehow drafted even worse than me. Well let's get this over with. Game 1: Vs Mage. I went First. Lol. I got into the mindset that my normal hunter/rogue tactics would not work here and just held onto my cards instead of playing them. This ends up working out... fairly well. I'm able to make a few good plays early on and come out ahead. I think I made a HUGE value play every single turn from 3 to 5. Pretty good stuff overall. I made some really strong plays but in the end I'm playing against Mage and I have low quality deck. It's quite literally impossible for me to win. I made it close but he topdecks Saronite Chain Gang. Then Ancient of Blossoms. Then Frozen Clone for ultimate value. Obviously I can't play around it because we're in topdeck mode and if I just play nothing I lose the game anyway. But, I mean, I lose the game ANYWAY. So I guess it doesn't matter? Then Blizzard so even my minions on board are useless. Having no lines of play that are valid is pretty epic, huh. Loss. God damn this guy's deck wasn't even that good. He just got lucky that he walked into some poor sap who drafted Priest as his 0-0 game. Game 2: Vs Shaman. I went Second. I guess we'll see now if at least 0-1 decks are actually 0-1 now. Had to gamble on some Volatile Elemental RNG early on and got the worst outcome. Then he played 4 mana 7/7. I actually have no cards I can even play in this circumstance. This is legitimately hilarious how bad this deck is. How the fuck does blizzard allow this to happen? Someone out there is walking to 12 wins right now with a deck that is probably almost 200% better than this one in terms of card quality. Can whoever came up with the idea of the synergy pool please get fired? He gets good Devole RNG to transform my minions exactly into understated minions that are slightly too weak to kill off his 4 mana 7/7. I topdeck exactly Spirit Lash, the only card in my deck that could help me in this circumstance. He has Saronite Chain Gang for the save. This seems familiar! I have no choice at this point but to go all in on Keening Banshee. Probably not the best play when I'm likely to go into fatigue this game. Well, to be clear, it is the best play I can make right now, but it's also a fucking terrible play. This is just how unbelievably bad this deck is. Then, unbelievably, I get Gadgetzan Auctioneer to stick and go completely nuts with him. Within about 2 turns I am dominating the board. Gadget is still up. And I shred his health from 30 all the way down to lethal. Wow. I guess I do have a win condition. Win. Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Keening Banshee is not a very good combination, by the way. But hey, Gadget and a bunch of cheap spells is pretty good. And Banshee + A bunch of bad cards is pretty okay too, since I'm mostly burning worthless cards anyway! --- ~* 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 X ~* http://i.imgur.com/c0Dtmjr.jpg <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:886000112] in Hearthston...
