Use Shadow Visions to pick up a copy of the Un’Goro pack and refuel after a particularly taxing early game. Play Elise the Trailblazer as close to on curve if possible-the earlier the Un’Goro pack enters the deck, the better. Shadow Word: Death removes larger, more expensive threats at an efficient cost. Dirty Rat creates additional value from your Dragonfire Potions in more aggressive matchups or shuts down certain Battlecry win conditions, such as Burn Mage’s Medivh and Alexstraza. Access to Priest of the Feast, Holy Nova, and Dragonfire Potion work together to continue managing your opponent’s board state and restore your life total. Reacting to the board gets easier as the game enters its middle turns. Use your life total as a resource-use your Hero Power to restore your minions rather than yourself. Using Glimmerroot successfully requires knowledge of the current metagame and its corresponding decklists, so prepare accordingly. Curious Glimmerroot provides another early body and replaces itself with a card from your opponent’s deck. Potion of Madness and Shadow Word: Pain deal with your opponent’s early threats while you begin to develop value with Northshire Cleric and Radiant Elemental. After surviving the early game, Dragon Priest’s power middle and late game should take over.Įarly in the game, your goal is simply survive. If you find the pace of this AOE removal unsatisfactory, add Auchenai Soulpriest and Circle of Healing to provide this effect earlier in the game. Dragonfire Potion is the deck’s main source of AOE removal and swings the game heavily in your favor if dragons are on your side of the field.
Priest of the Feast provides a large body and burst heal potential with the deck’s several cheap spells. Defender of Argus turns a Cleric, Historian, or Talonpriest into a barrier that preserves your life total.
Potion of Madness creates two-for-one potential with your opponent’s early game threats, often clearing the board in the first couple turns if the opponent isn’t careful. Potion of Madness, Defender of Argus, Priest of the Feast, and Dragonfire Potion combine to strengthen these matchups and enable Dragon Priest’s more robust middle and late game. While the deck presents a strong game in control matchups, it can struggle in aggressive ones. All of these cards combined ensure your hand remains stocked with resources while your opponent’s depletes. Use Shadow Visions to grab another copy of the Un’Goro pack to double the resource gain or find another answer in your deck. Elise the Trailblazer simultaneously adds board pressure and more resources in the form of an Un’Goro pack should the game go late. Power Word: Shield increases the survivability of your utility cards like Northshire Cleric and Lyra the Sunshard while replacing itself. Northshire Cleric provides card draw in conjunction with Priest’s Hero Power. Similarly, Drakonid Operatives tax your opponent’s resources in the middle of the game and allow Lyra to take over the game late. On curve, Lyra requires the opponent to respond the following turn instead of developing his/her own position and paves the way for an unchecked Drakonid Operative the following turn.
Lyra the Sunshard is the most powerful among these cards and demands an immediate answer from the opponent. Mulligan the card if it’s in your opening hand.ĭragon Priest wins the resource war and attritions its opponent by playing several cards that generate or threaten to generate additional value if left unchecked. Despite costing only two mana, Netherspite Historian’s best use is in the middle turns to ensure Drakonid Operative’s Battlecry trigger. Discover an additional Drakonid Operative to continue winning the resource war, a Twilight Drake to fill your curve and create profitable trades with the opponent’s board, or Ysera to give the deck another late game trump in the control matchup. Netherspite Historian discovers another dragon and gives the deck some much needed versatility. Primordial Drake acts as the last AOE effect to end the aggressive deck’s chances at a win or as a measure to buy time to deploy more expensive resources from your hand. Primordial Drake stabilizes the board as the game reaches its later stages.
