Dragon Priest May Finally Shine!

With the new tools given to Priests in The Grand Tourney they finally have a means of becoming competitive with the Dragon focused decks we couldn't rely on in Black Rock Mountain. The Wyrmrest Agent and Twilight Guardian cards give you the Taunt power you need to stay in control, which was the biggest glaring flaw in BRM Dragon Priest decks. On top of that, it curves out very cleanly with high value minions from start to finish and 9 solid Dragon family cards in the mix to ensure your "Dragon in hand" Battlecries are incredibly reliable. Remember, it was determined you only needed 6-7 Dragons to run Corrupter back when BRM was released, so this is going to be extremely consistent in getting you those huge value plays. TGT has created an amazing opportunity for Dragon Priests to show they mean business, so give this a spin and see how you like it :)

Confusion?!

Confuse! I'm doing something nobody else has that I've seen. While the debate about which 3 drop to play continues, I've made my decision and it is Dark Cultist. It trades evenly with Piloted Shredder for less 1 mana and doesn't rely on conditions, so I'm going to call that an easy decision. Since I have 6 different ways to increase my creature's maximum HP and many of the creatures themselves have more HP than damage, I see this as a great opportunity for Confuse to really turn the tables when people think they're encountering just another predictable Dragon Priest with fairly unsurprising cards. Turn a board that is just shy of lethal into a win, by doing things like turning a 4/8 Dragonkin Sorcerer + Power Word: Shield into an 8/4 for that extra reach. Make Ysera into a 12 damage minion if your opponent doesn't kill her the turn she is played. Then you also have the ability to frustrate your opponent by converting multiple 1-2 attack minions into 1-2 life minions and wiping them out with a Holy Nova. Make THEIR Ysera into a valid target for Shadow Word: Death! The possibilities are limited only by your imagination ;)

This deck needs some testing, but I've won 2 games because of Confuse already in the scrubby tier of R15-R14~ We'll see if it stays useful closer to R5.
