What's wrong with this? I just started playing about a week ago and as soon as I got Inner Fire, comboing Divine Spirit with Inner Fire seemed like the most obvious thing in the world and I immediately started winning way more games.

The Priest matches I play are all the extreme anti aggro decks. Deathlords, double zombie chows, etc etc. Shuts down Aggro hard, probably has an extremely high win rate against Aggro. Only way I could see Aggro winning is two owls at the start.

Woo, won 12 games in Arena tonight, decided to pick up some packs in celebration. Got Van Cleef, Foe Reaper, and like 5 gold cards and epics lol. All in 11 packs!

Ever see a card you just completely forgot existed?
Browsing through my Warrior cards and I see Crush. I have never seen anyone use Crush in constructed. Nobody plays Warrior in Arena so I've never seen it up for draft or used.
It's like, why? Execute exists, costs 1 mana and isn't an Epic. Not even Patron decks use it.

Decent arena card. It's comparable to Assassinate. Great against something like Sunwalker.
Warrior has so many removals it's way past the redundancy at this point.
Like they can already have double Execute and double Shield Slam in their decks.
Then they can have double Crush and double Bouncing Blades.
They can have like 7 different weapons for various range of removals.
For AOE they can have Brawl, Cleave, Whirlwind and Revenge (though these aren't all very good AOE clears).
It's like how are you going to get better than a 1 mana minion removal? Maybe if they add in a removal that silences and then kill like Poly/Hex but that goes against the theme of the class.

Yeah, I dunno how you can get better then Shield Slam and Execute.
I've thought of a Warrior silence, Shattering Throw. 3 mana - Destroy your weapon and deal it's attack to an enemy minion, and silence it. Although that would probably be too strong. Fiery War Axe + Shattering throw = dead shredder, for example.

Warrior has some pretty good spells. What they need (and haven't gotten since Shield Maiden) is minions. Warriors are pretty slim on good 1 and 2 mana minions. Heck even a good 3 mana minion ala priest would be appreciated. 3/4 when this minion dies add 3 armor. Something like that.
Same reason why Geddon usually is just a suicide card for warriors these days.

I've argued several times that they should inverse the two elements of the diceroll to mitigate RNG and bring the card more in line power-wise. i.e. 4 damage = 2 imps and 2 damage = 4 imps.

I actually went against this as a zoo. He did coin deathlord turn 2, deathlord turn 3, resurrect right after. I ended up winning but I had a good hand(no silence, but good buffs to make trades), but man was it annoying as hell.
When I clicked on this I expected something cringeworthy but I wasn't ready for this.

Those jokes caused me physical pain.
It's a common newbie trap.
1.) You need to have both Divine Spirit, Inner Fire, and a suitable minion to pull off the combo, which is not always easy and makes the combo inconsistent.
2.) It's easily countered by silences, hard removals, or BGH. Your 10/10 Lightwell might seem impressive, but you sunk 3 cards into that thing and your opponent can counter it with a single card. That gives them a massive card advantage.
Christ, I normally just buy packs with my gold but I decided it had been a while so I entered the arena...
0-2 later I'm remembering why I just buy packs, christ I should ahve read some guides before coming back in here.
EDIT: ergh, 0-3, fuck this mode.

So no preset decks then. Bring on the face Hunters.

Unstable Portal even more broken.

Looks like another Mage Brawl. Rogue could be pretty good with Prep + Sprint assuming that it summons a minion based on the base cost of Sprint and not the discounted cost.
Edit: Oh shit. Warrior might have a use for Crush if it summons a 7 mana minion for 3 mana.

Didn't think about the Coin actually. Free Wisp/Target Dummy for going second.

Overload works against Shaman in this brawl. You pay the "true" cost of the spell over two turns, but you'll only get a minion based on the initial price.
Coin op confirmed.

Why would you play minions in this brawl? I don't see how tempo mage and face hunter are strong here.
