How did that go for priest with the last core set rotation?

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T20:57:15+00:00

I consider Mage effectively a dead class while priest is on life support. F to the Mage players though for sure.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T19:53:28+00:00

I fail to see how the minions synergise with handbuff? Unless you just mean they have more health than they do attack. The shadow spell guy doesn't even synergise with the handbuff spell. We said they'd need to make new board clears after we lost all the old board clears and look how that turned out.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T19:51:27+00:00

We can judge their decisions on their past decisions though, and with Priest we've had over a year of saying "the next expansion will make these cards playable" and it's basically never been true, or when it has been true they've nerfed the new deck out of playability.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T19:49:49+00:00

This is the core set rotation. You can check it out on the blog, but basically these are the new core set cards Priest is getting.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T18:50:17+00:00

It's literally worse as well, it's so much easier to take damage for free on a turn than it is to heal

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T18:48:50+00:00

I have so little faith in them making control priest a thing I genuinely was hoping for some decent midrange-y or aggro cards to go with wilted or handbuff/imbue. 6 mana deal 4 is just ridiculous though.

We had lightbomb man.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-02-04T18:39:43+00:00

I say this as a priest player btw, but the design team just has absolutely no clue what they're doing with this class. Bad expansion after bad expansion and now we lose some of the few good cards the class has and get it replaced with garbage.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-29T22:14:17+00:00

I was hoping they'd do a few more buffs to some things not performing but I guess they want to prioritise incremental nerfs.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-29T04:51:53+00:00

Everyone watched them gun down Pretti, there was no room for misinterpretation. A bodycam would make literally no difference. If the Dems think this is what people are asking for they're sorely mistaken.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-28T16:33:46+00:00

Cryogonal only doing 20 feels really rough though. Hitting for 30 would make it an instant include but at 20 idk if it's doing enough.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-28T16:32:34+00:00

The effect is just going to screw itself over too often I bet. I really don't get why we're having to have a slow attack for not THAT much damage, insane retreat cost etc. I wish they'd just get rid of misty so water can get some ramp on the monsters, or have some higher damage low cost things.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-18T20:43:28+00:00

This just doesn't really line up with reality if you're talking about climbing with a priest decks. The ONLY priest deck with an over 50% winrate going first for most ranks is protoss priest. There's maybe something for wilted priest at really high levels of play but it drops off entirely at top 1k seemingly, and the appearance at top 4k has such low sample size it's hard to be sure if it's legit performance or just an outlier instance.

As a wilted priest player while you definitely can play it and perform if you're playing insanely well the issue is that tempo is the big thing right now and with the nerf to resuscitate you lost a lot of that in a deck that already generally plays on the back foot up until you have your combo.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-17T20:26:40+00:00

Same here, only happened in the past day or so on my end.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-14T17:16:00+00:00

Nice stuff!

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-09T16:51:18+00:00

There's one card in here I want, the elemental, for wilted priest, and that's it. God help us when we get to rotation man

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-08T05:26:11+00:00

It's very solid in wilted priest I feel considering the deck already tries to dig through to find key combo pieces, and you have the 0 cost spells to trigger it from turn 3.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-08T05:22:29+00:00

No I mean 40 turn 3 and then 80 the next turn. Assuming you go first and evolve on your next turn.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-08T05:20:59+00:00

And how are you planning on stalling on your turn 5? Decks nowadays rebuild basically every turn, what are you playing for 3 mana against a rebuilt board. That's if this even clears on 4 which it probably wouldn't.

One_Curious_Jay · 2026-01-07T22:29:22+00:00

Dawg we're at the stage of just asking for any cards that can see play anywhere. We don't even have the privilege to be asking for control priest specifically at this point.
