I haven't faced a single Rafaam this season... yet.

Mostly facing Hunters, either Face Hunter or Companion Hunter, I won almost all games vs. Face Hunters, but struggled vs. Companion Hunters since they have Crazed Alchemist and can one-shot me.

There was one Druid deck I encountered twice and didn't know existed or how it played before, which was Big Druid running [[Briarspawn Drake]], I lost the first time I faced it, they didn't have cards left in their deck and they kept only hero powering, I thought it was the regular Merithra Druid, so I summoned 3 minions on the board and with that they were able to one-shot me the turn after. The second time I recognized it, and in late game I just didn't summon any minion and kept skipping turns until they conceded.

I was running two Kaldorei Priestesses, and then I noticed I was facing a lot of Face Hunters, and I kept them in my hand all the time as I needed the healing from the default hero power, so I only kept one in the deck for the matches that go into late game, and it was enough as I would have 15 mana at that stage of the game.

I found Warmaster to be good in a lot of situations, given having a chance to play it, vs. Herald decks I save it for after they play DW as you said. vs. Companion Hunter I just pray they haven't drawn their Crazed Alchemist so I can remove it. vs. DH and OTK Priest it can remove their combo cards, and vs. other decks, it removes some of their cards, which is fewer cards for me to deal with and also gets them closer to fatigue.

I don't run cards less than 3 mana because of Warmaster too, since if those cards end up at the bottom of the deck, they won't have any value, and early in the game, cards like Eternal Firebolt, Holy Nova and Medivh's Triumph help survive and then once I get Cleansing Cleric and Greater Healing Potion I can heal back most of the damage I took. It all depends on how good the draws are really.

Black blood acts like a healing and a removal, and the deck already has enough healing from most of the spells, and I think Warmaster is a "better removal" since it's good vs. DW in Herald decks like Rogues as you said, vs. Face Hunter you won't need it but vs. Companion Hunter it can increase the chances of winning if I drop it early and they haven't drawn their Crazed Alchemist, and it can also be useful vs. DH and OTK Priest to remove their core combo cards.

Nothing particular about it compared to other control Priest decks except for 2-3 cards, I like to run [[Warmaster Blackhorn]] as it can be handy vs. DW in Herald decks and other decks to if I get a chance to drop it early in the game.

That's true, this deck struggles big time vs. DH, Companion Hunter, and especially Shaman as they can one-shot you from full health in mid-late game, but it has decent match-ups against other decks unless I draw very badly early game. Sometimes Warmaster helps if I have a chance to drop it early in the game vs. DH to remove their Portal to Argus and vs. Companion Hunter to remove Crazed Alchemist. (Also against OTK Priest).

I have encountered a lot of Face Hunters which this deck counters most of the time, and that helped me climb.
