I'm 2 wins in on my arena Patron Warrior. It's a legit strat.

So I bought the pre-order last night in my drunken stupor...had no intention to, but oh well.
As additional buff targets, more or less. Maybe they aren't needed or are bad; we'll see.
I think the problem with buff priest is that they have historically not had many good targets for their buffs, and thsu required very particular set up. Now, I feel fjola/eydis/tournament medic/bolf provide 5 more cards that give strong choices for priest buffs, and thus it's not so gimmicky.
I'm free if you're willing to add another.

There is potential, but I've played that deck a lot (It was the first deck I tried starting out with Hearthstone!) and most times your clerics will not draw anything. Given the abundance of stronger low drops, I can only see that getting worse.
Shield fits the bill, but that is only two draws. The acolytes might do better, but then you are relying on buffing the acolytes to keep them alive (Priest can't directly activate) which means you are not buffing the minions that benefit from buffs.
I think you'd do better to drop the combo pieces or keep them but add more immediate draws to cycle faster.
Wild Pryomancer activates!

Yeah, it'll probably help a bit. If you're lucky they'll also use silence/removal on them which will help you later on. I guess I just feel like they're better minions not played on curve because of their abilities but who can really say from here.
I'm excited for Darkbane in a Warrior deck. Good combo potential there with Charge/Inner Rage/Rampage. Feel like it'll work well with Taunt/Protection Warrior as a finisher. Or I'll go crazy with Miracle Warrior but I think that's still a pipe dream.
Right, I basically used the "anti-bgh" approach, where once you decide you're going to have an 8/8 minion, you might as well have a bunch.
Lightwell, Eydis, Fjola, Sylvanas, Acolyte of Pain, Northshire cleric, anything I cast divine spirit / inner fire on, and so on are all silence targets.

True, it does.
But I think you would want to run circle of healing. It'll help with card draw and the other big weakness is your minions getting injured. It sucks having the combo pieces but your deathlord is a 2/2

Just had a hunter who had clear lethal on the board concede to me because he must have thought my secret which hadn't gone off all game was ice block. I wonder how pissed he would have been if he knew it was spellbender. Got a good chuckle out of it in any case.

LOL. I would at least test it first.

It'll do similar wins first and then expand from there.
So at 0/1 you'll almost certainly be facing somebody at 0/1. But at 12/0 you might be facing somebody at 11/1 or something depending on who is available.

Question for all of those who are like me and don't buy packs with real money-
What rituals are you currently doing to ensure you get good cards from the packs you get with in-game gold?
I created a rock shrine around my physical copy of Wrath of the Lich King and have been dancing around it every night for the past week. I think it's working because I've been feeling super lucky recently and I haven't ran into any Patron Warriors for a while.

I told someone that in chat the other day and I think he removed me from his friend list.

So here's my first pass at a Miracle/Protection Warrior and I can already think of ways I want to change things around. While having good taunts in the deck help, with Parring Partner, Sunfury Protector, and Defender of Argus, you might not need to stuff the deck with taunt creatures. Which makes sense as well since you give up stats for Taunt anyway. It'll take some time to work things out, that's for sure. It'll probably be a better deck to have better stat minions and give them Taunt over just have Taunt creatures.
Though, I just want to see Bolster used a Warrior's Savage Roar.

The correct way is to make a murloc noise before opening the pack.
New card review stream! We'll be going over the class cards! Featuring Dahbomb, Opiate, and myself!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So no chance at the expansion this week right? Like at best we have to wait another week?
Your friend is a genius in mathematics.
The heart of the cards failed me today. I needed 1 more damage, couldn't pull it ;-;

I microwave steaks.
you think that's bad, I had a nightmare where I forgot to pre-order and didn't get the cardback and freaked out. So the next morning as soon as I woke up I made sure to pre-order right away. The worst part is i'm planning on getting more when it releases.

Darkness no more
Most likely the following week seems to be the popular opinion, but who knows. It could be this week.
Buying packs then regretting it the morning after is part of the Hearhtstone experience.

Not sure on face but the deck Tempostorm featured for control Warrior in their meta report has Deathlords and Slams in it. Might be why.

This game is a fucking joke. xD Just wrecked a Mage's start, absolutely destroyed it because he coined into stupid shit. He does the worst plays he could EVER do against a Rogue.
Both Blastmages come down one after the other and kill 4 health minions. He Flamewaker, Fireball. Fireballs for the kill. All in his top 10 or so cards.
And then I got beat by Face hunter. But that's a different story. I understand people not knowing how to play a simple card game so they have to simplify it further. I can forgive accepting idiocy, I can't accept sheer stupidity being redeemed by RNG.

I've hit Legend every season, and never have I ever felt more like I was going to die in my computer chair from rampant cancer. Trying to play any deck requiring a hint of thought is a misplay.
