Messing around with Chef Nomi Priest in Casual (minus one Lazul's Scheme because I haven't crafted anything for the deck yet).
IDK what the writer was on, cutting a Mass Hysteria. At least, in aggro matchups this makes very little sense; I guess if you are expecting to face mostly warriors due to the tournament setting it's fine. But yeah, run mass hysteria. If you face a control warrior whom you expect to play Saboteur, you can mass hysteria on an empty board to avoid disaster. But yeah, ladder is always aggro happy, so two hysterias make sense.
Deck is hard to pilot as advertised. I'm not sure yet if I like it. TBH, something that's frustrated me before about decks built around gadgetzan auctioneer is that if the auctioneers are the bottom card of your deck you just die. This deck feels a little bit better about it, because you also have pyro+Acolyte of pain, and you can go full northshire. (I once burned six cards on purpose with double northshire circle of healing because I already had Nomi and 2x Seance in my hand). Still though, even with all of that the RNG of drawing vs not drawing Auctioneer is still real.
Doesn't Warrior just board wipe 3 times and not give a shit though?
They only have two board wipes that full clear.
Two Brawls. After that all they have is Warpath, which deals a maximum of 5 damage, and Chef Nomi fills the board with 6/6s. Their only possible out is to play Saboteur and hope to hit a Mass Hysteria in your hand (which is why Mass Hysteria gets sideboarded out for the warrior match, and why I am willing to Mass Hysteria on an empty board against warrior on ladder). ---
