WotOG: Priest

Looking at the most recent Meta Report by TempoStorm (https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/meta-snapshot/standard/2016-07-03), Priest doesn’t show up until tier 4 with the N’Zoth Priest and the C’Thun Priest decks.

We asked Iksar a few weeks back about Priests and if Blizzard has plans to do anything about them. He did indicate that it’s something they are looking at. However, he’s a big Priest player and has been playing Dragon Priest and other decks. Seems to think that there are decks out there that just haven’t been discovered yet.

[Darkshire Alchemist] – Great card on turn 9 with [Auchenai Soulpriest]

[Embrace the Shadow] – “the only time this card stinks is when it’s pulled from Yogg”

[Forbidden Shaping] – Great in a midrange Priest deck.

[Hooded Acolyte] – Works great with [Circle of Healing] or [Holy Nova] in a C’Thun Priest deck.

[Power Word: Tentacles] – Creepy smile

[Shadow Word: Horror] – “The word “Horror” doesn’t quite cover this card. More like “Fear” or “Inconvenience”.”

[Shifting Shade] – “Deathrattle: Copy a Legendary card from your opponent’s deck and add it to your hand.”

[Twilight Darkmender] –

LOTI Podcast,

First off I would like to say, you guys are amazing at what you do.  

I really appreciate all of the shout outs.  Without your show and I honestly mean this I doubt I’d be in the place I am now with my fireside gathering.  The interest has grown and its looking to be bigger than I thought.

P.S. I really hope to meet Espo one day

Twitter: ShinyRob: Hey @LotiPodcast & @XcMtbGamer Congrats on 100 episodes. Not just that you got to 100, but that they are so consistently good. #Hearthstone

Facebook Shoutout:Tungdil: As some of you might know I’m part of an organization that hosts fireside gatherings. As we continue to grow we also get to move onto better/bigger locations. yesterday was our first time having the tournament in a movie theater where the finals were played on the big screen which was really cool! I didn’t make it far but I eliminated some guy who ended top 100 legend last season which was really cool! Finals ended 10 minutes before the football (soccer) finals started so we also got to see that on the big screen!

What a time to be alive😀
