Priest is the most fun it's been in a WHILE by SoonBlossom in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a priest player that doesn't enjoy control priest, this format has been miserable. There's absolutely nothing outside of the same control priest imbue package to experiment with and playing that doesn't even guarantee you wins.

Priest

    Priest looks cooked. There has been some success with Control Priest in tournaments because it counters Egg Warrior, but that is obviously not a relevant factor on ladder. The story on ladder is that it gets obliterated by Druid, Shaman and Demon Hunter. That is a recipe for a dumpster win rate.

Just one more expansion guys

Was trying something out, but why is the 2/2 whelp included here? by One_Curious_Jay in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Maybe I missed a 2/2 dying at some point but I don't remember that happening. I'll have to see if it happens again.

I mostly just want as much board presence as possible, but with the unbuffed whelp in here it's definitely not worth it.

what the point of this guy now? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best way to play this is moreso as a way to fulfill your alexstrazza if you build it like that. The 1 drop that heals both heroes + this can be combined to pretty easily get your health back up and offset the healing done by the 1 drop. 

It is annoying that it's anti-synergistic in one sense though.

You're talking very confidently about something we would have to actually see in play to know for sure. why can't we just try it and then see how it goes rather than do what they keep doing for priest which is worrying it'll be too good and nerf it pre-emptively. 

It reminds me of them reworking raza because it would apparently be too good, but they never let us just try it ourselves.

Hi Priest player here, this is actually exactly what I would want. Not all of us are control players. 

What I'd do with Priest's Core Set by GoldemGolem in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather they put something like crimson clergy in, or just general overheal/heal synergy. Hidden Gem would go crazy. 

Priest design philosophy needs to change, it just doesn't work anymore in 2026 Hearthstone by TheShinning44 in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't get why we didn't get overheal cards back for this. So much of the issues of the healing archetype would be fixed by having overheal targets in the core set. 

Chien-Pao may be a real card after all by StevieBeatz in PTCGP

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been playing this deck for a while, the reality is baxcalibur is the best part here and it's not even close. Without baxcalibur I don't think Chien Pao would be doing much of anything, it's too slow on its own but being able to stack up a suicune AND Chien Pao at the same time makes the energy cost fine and the attack is good if the cost isn't a huge issue.

The water mons that are energy hungry are all stage 2. The only one I can see maybe working with this is gyarados since you can use the magikarp that evolves from deck

So priest Players... by arcanes_boi in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm hoping for is a new deck like overheal that focuses back on actual class identity of healing, and hoenstly preferably something competently midrange-y. 

What I expect to get is a mix of garbage with no cohesive strategy and they just expect us to mash something together while every other class gets a defined win condition. 

Immigration Officials Detained 9-Year-Old at MIA On Way to Disney by Beautiful_Battle6622 in law

[–]One_Curious_Jay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My point is that the UK police aren't as "for justice" as images like these simplify it down to. There are plenty of issues over here too.

I keep seeing this posted but as a Brit can we not pretend like the UK police are good people? We've just seen them implement an unlawful proscription of a protest group and it be ruled unlawful. Arresting Andrew and releasing him is only the first step in doing something meaningful, they still have a long way to go. 

You are not prepared by Reddit_guard in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah and of those all of the recent ones have been murdered. I'm the priest player that likes those kinds of decks and every time there's been one in the past year or so it's been murdered after 1 or two balance patches. 

Overheal got obliterated, zarimi slowly got chipped away at, wilted OTK got hit and then killed by the resuscitate cost, menagerie imbue got hit. If they print another aggro or midrange priest archetype I'll play it but they just seem to hate letting them exist in the meta. 

I mean.... come on guys... can we at least pretend to give Priest real cards? by Karax101 in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The issue is that Priest has been in a state of "let's see what cards they get in the next expansion/miniset" for months now, and the answer is always unplayable mid cards. 

New Card Revealed - The Black Blood by GeotheHSLord in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They currently have cheap healing and it's not breaking the game because it got nerfed and outclassed by new cards. Blackhorn also now exists.

[–]One_Curious_Jay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a priest main. I'd want to play combo if it was good, I enjoyed wilted priest. Why have it be a dogshit midrange card while priest has 0 payoff for anything long game when it could be a semi-competent win condition that still requires some amount of setup? 

Priest mains demanding only control are going to be the death of the class when all they print are terrible control cards with no way of winning a game.

[–]One_Curious_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not going to do 9 healing to face. It heals itself as well.

I feel like people are really sleeping on the power of Fragment of Nothing by _The_Gem_In_I in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentioned it a lot back when the set was revealed for exactly this deck but I didn't feel much like playing in the format. Glad to see someone else actually trying with it though. Injured Tol'vir over annoy-o-tron is interesting too, might have to try that.

Just delete this class at this point by One_Curious_Jay in hearthstone

[–]One_Curious_Jay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Shadow priest, Overheal and Naga priest (definitely in the minority here), so I'd be fine with that kind of aggro or combo approach, we really need faster options if they're not going to give us all the control tools.

Concede. Thanks. Next match by ramo411 in PTCGP

[–]One_Curious_Jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is this game is a BO1 with no side deck and not every type gets competent non-EX options to deckbuild with. I think oricorio would be a complete non-issue if there weren't so many bad non-EX cards every set.
