But if you have no idea who she is, don't feel obligated or compelled to be in it.  I'd rather have a photo of myself with her alone than that.+ Show Spoiler + But if you secretly are a huge fan of her because of Masters of Sex, I'll allow it. | ||

It was like 2, maybe 3 months ago where N'zoth Priest was one of the top decks in the game? What was the meta killer deck that made that untrue? I haven't been following that closely but I think N'zoth Priest was good when you faced predominantly control decks on ladder. Now that's not the case. I've played it recently, it does fine in the 15 range if that's all you care about. | ||

Also Priest's usually meh against Warrior (armour > heal for fatigue, weapons to clear the board, better draw and aoe, etc.), pretty reliant on Entombing stuff, and Warrior is the top class now, with several decks even, so... Basically Priest has no relevant early plays, and opponents don't necessarily play actively early on either to let you still use your mana for SD: Pain and stuff like that. Priest also lacks AoE with the loss of Lightbomb, and the decks are more and more about playing on curve and efficiency, basically everything is either face or tempo midrange (even Miracle isn't combo anymore but tempo + mass draw and your solid creatures like Azure Drake). So you can't compete with the other classes' early turns, you rely on multi-cards combos (like Auchenai Circle) for your value while others beat you on a 1-by-1 basis, and the classes you struggle against (either naturally or for lack of AoE now) are popular/strong. | ||

Dragon priest is still alright but it's largely out tempoed by Shaman and dragon warrior. I don't have much experience with Nzoth priest. Nzoth Pally is still pretty decent for climbing I think but it is kind of inconsistent against nut draws from opponents. I can't recall Nzoth priest ever being a top deck in the game. Believe you thinking of Nzoth pally which is still fine but is a better tournament deck than ladder. | ||

I remember how scary it used to be facing down a priest as control warrior. | ||

I think you mean LoE, because TGT gave nothing for Warrior besides Justicar and the Control Priest MU vs Warrior didn't change (burn Warrior removals with smaller-midrange bodies and neutral/low value usage and keep up pressure: e.g. Warrior has/had no good answer to coin-Dark Cultist besides like Fiery Axe->Execute or Shield Slam, which is a great trade for Priest). Entomb is LoE. | ||

Like so what if they get the tempo? As long as the warrior stabilized with justicar they could just sit back and do nothing then win. It placed a timer on priests ability to win where as prior it was up to the warrior to get that win. | ||

Control priest had to now become the proactive deck when it's really not suited for that outside of nut draws while warrior draws terribly. Like so what if they get the tempo? As long as the warrior stabilized with justicar they could just sit back and do nothing then win. It placed a timer on priests ability to win where as prior it was up to the warrior to get that win. But priest was ALWAYS the proactive player in the matchup: the MU goal has always been to pressure Warrior's armor gain with midrange minions and board pressure, wearing down his hand with value trades (because thoughtsteal meant more value), and exhausting his 4 hard removals. You always wanted to keep some decent bodies on the board to keep the warrior from just building up armor for fatigue war later and putting him on a (slow) clock (while keeping out of combo range), and Justicar didn't change that dynamic at all (and indeed made it easier, since you needed to remove a legendary to make room for it, which meant 1 less necessary target for SW:D/MC/Slyvanas/Shrink+cabal/Lightbomb), and Priest often ran it's own Trueheart anyways, so fatigue race wasn't adversely changed to that great a degree (though in reality, the Control Priest vs Warrior matchup shouldn't come down to that, but to the Priest exhausting all Warrior threats/removals while keeping stuff on the board). The bigger issue for priest was that TGT meant "STOP ASKING QUESTIONS" was meta and christmas hats are difficult for Priest to deal with, without having a major combo available (SW:D+board clear) with unreliable card draw. | ||

I think when the old gods came out for a little bit people believed that control non-warrior could be a thing and priest is decent against that but then people realized that control non-warrior is actually not a thing and now priest is trash | ||
