Really having fun with my Quest Priest right now.
I also run a fair number of Dragons in it and it works really well.

You'll appreciate this:
I was playing my Renolock vs. a Priest, and had the game completely dominated. 4 Infernos on the board plus Brann. I'm at 6 health from punching things in the face. He's dead on the next turn with nothing on the board.
He plays Potion of Madness on Brann. Then he plays Abyssal Enforcer for 6 damage to everything for the kill.
A fitting end.

Another day, another failed attempt at making a viable spell power based deck.

It may not be very useful but Spiritsinger Umbra into N'zoth is fun.

TFW you're on 3/4 and just don't draw shit
I'm having a blast playing as Priest
Been playing my Highlander/Quest Hybrid, Purify, Dragon/Elemental, and now Lyra Combo
So many options, haven't had this much fun w/ HS in a while.
Imo the most annoying class isn't even pirate warrior anymore it's Quest Rogue.

I mean, here's an example of the board state about a turn or two before this rogue conceded.
I had a really good start:
1) Coin → Radiant Elemental → Mind Vision + Power Word: Shield
2) Radiant Elemental #2
I think turn three I Shadow Visionsed to get Dragonfire Potion, but had to settle for PW. Then I used the Gnomish Engineer (I Mind Visioned) to draw other threats like Lyra, Priest of the Feast, and more PW
Seems like you have to grab the board early.
Mind sharing your list? Seems a lot different than the one I'm running that I stole from someone else in this thread from the other day:
Considering dropping the one Northshire for a second Dragonfire Potion and maybe the Argus for a Thoughtsteal or Mind Vision.
not even fucking close, even when they get random shit you know exactly what they're doing at all times, you know exactly which minion they're investing their bounces into and the deck dies to all sorts of stuff.
He said it was annoying, mayne.
Shouldn't be a huge leap of faith to imagine Rogue being an annoying match-up for Priest.

Tech in some stuff to help you out. In Wild, I fought a Pirate Warrior that had Acidic Ooze in his deck to help him counter in the mirror match.
I have to agree. Playing against priest is silly and boring, even if you win.

Finally won against pirate warrior with quest rogue having exactly drawn Bilefin Tidehunter then Shadowstepped it to put up 2 taunts that carried me to victory.

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure the 2/3 that makes minions cost more is going to win and lose a lot of games too.
I don't think I've ever been more lucky in Arena and with Kazakus: https://hsreplay.net/replay/5orfU6b6HkA8rKHcMhQXoQ

Prep has been in basically every Rogue deck since pre-Naxx. Can't say we how you'd go wrong crafting two.
Rogues will always find a use for prep.
The one thing I want from Shadowverse the most is the emotes. They are all friendly. And even if you try to troll with them it falls flat due to their nature.
Loosing to a hyper emoting warrior is just a useless part of the game. There is absolutely no need for a game to enable this behaviour.
(unless its because Blizzard believe this might enrage people enough so they dump a bunch of money on the game to be able to deal with the silly stuff)

Preps are basic for every single rogue deck, is one of the more important cards ever

Damn, that reminds me, I should consider adding Black Knight to my Priest deck. Lots of Taunts these days with Warrior and Druid to some extent. Doesn't really help me vs Pirate Warrior scumbags however...

And I'm done, rank 5 got. After failing around with my own version of quest rogue I netdecked and it was pretty smooth sailing from there.
Even when I lost to lists running stonetusk boar I thought they were awful and the whole violet teacher moroes package is highly impractical.
It was this guys list. Edwin really wasn't missed much and Bilefin Tidehunter really is good stat vomit when you have Crystal Cove active.Zero-Maia Reddit said:

Hahaha I'm well aware, but I'd probably never play Rogue if it wasn't a stupid combo deck. I love shit like this.
e: Crafted it up. 26 damage to the face on turn six. Disgusting!

Lol, discard quest Warlock discarded his Nether Portal.
And it was probably better for him xD

Even if quest rogue is nerfed, which I doubt frankly, miracle rogue is also strong combo deck where preps will always find a home.
I do want to point out though, not every rogue deck runs prep. That is not true.
Discard is very irritating. You have no control over any of it, it's all RNG. Shadowverse has a very similar discard mechanic but the cards that discard, discard your lowest cost or highest cost cards so you know what cards you're not discarding. It's way way better. As it works in HS, one side is always going to feel bad about the outcomes.
Thanks. But I honestly I still prefer miracle. But I'm stuck against pirate with miracle, so it's time for a change.

Quest Rogue is annoying as fuck. Like this shit is way more annoying than Pirate Warrior ever was.

Quest Rogue is very rewarding to play though.
When they win. When they can't pull their combo is almost as sad as playing against the starter deck that the game gives you when you start playing
I think Freeze mage is the new villain. Maybe the new Control Warrior is highly annoying as well (this coming from someone that loves Taunt Warrior too).
I don't know which deck is worst to fight against. probably freeze mage that's some non-interactive stuff right there. Even when you know you got the match won you still might have to watch them jerk around for like 4-6+ turns
frost nova + frost nova + blizzard + waygate == zzZZZzz (edit, and don't let them have 2 ice blocks around too. It can be sorta non-interactive for like 6-7 turns)
interesting deck will have to try. still havent used my shard
plus I love burgle rogue

Just casual plays so far but I'm 12-2. Lost once to absolutely terrible draws (cold blood, cold blood patches) and still almost won if I had only top decked leeroy.
Second loss was to an elemental shaman I had just played and clobbered but they curved out too well and probably high rolled a couple things. I probably need some card draw to beat that sort of heavily taunt deck - he played 3 stone sentinels back to back and I still wasn't out of steam til the third one.
Sherazin is alright in the list. Hasn't been that special since it's only a 1 of so it doesn't actually get played often so need more testing to see if it's worth it. The times I have gotten it early I have gotten it to revive without pain and that is pretty good tempo gain when it does activate.
Hallucination let me beat the one pirate warrior I ran into. I got a bloodhoof brave off it. Played it at the right time and bought enough time to win.

Must be the RNG gods hate me cause they always have their quest finished by turn 5 at the latest.

For an anti-control deck that gets eaten by aggro, it's nice that Quest Rogue doesn't feel as hopeless for control as Jade did, especially if they don't run things like Moroes and Violet Teacher.
For the rest of the game, they will only ever build 5/5s, which make them always potentially controlled with damage spells or minions. Its not like the 8+ counter on jade where the only way you could ever control them is with hard AoE removal. Things like Felfire Potion and Dragonfire Potion and Fireball and 5+ attack minions will always work to at least remove one.

there's lots of deck that seem to counter quest rogues tho--
Control Warrior messes them up with those dirty rats.
Fast aggro decks
grats will give that a shot at some point too

I think that dirty rat should be an autoinclude in almost every deck
1) Against quest rogue, you can screw their gameplan pulling or their bounced cards, or their bounce enablers which really destroys them for at least 1 or 2 turns (which is a big deal) in the worst case, you pull edwin, or a boar who at least in the future will not be a 5/5 charge at least, even an engineer could be fine since they don't draw as much as their miracle counerpart)
2) Against quest mage well timed perfectly it can pull a sorcress apprentice or antonidas, which in both cases are almost a gg (unless he managed to remove a good chunk of your hp)

No lies. Dirty Rat is currently a WMD.
I normally play nothing but arena right after expansions come out to learn the cards and get a bunch of cards. Then once the meta settles I'll see which deck looks the most fun and craft two of them for constructed.
Using inkeeper to upload my deck to hearthpwn has been amazing for seeing which decks to construct. It tells you how much dust it will take you to construct the deck you're looking at based on your collection. Made a secret Mage deck that didn't require me to craft any extra cards.
The last 5 times I've drafted Mage I've only been offered one flamestrike (not one per time, one overall) and no blizzards. But it seems like every Mage I face has AoE coming out their ass and multiple primordial glyphs to give them the exact spell they need.
