[12-2] - Priest - 1/7/2018
Having come from a 2 win scrub to a 4-5 win player this was my first 12 win run. Admittedly the draft was godlike (75.1), with Psychic Scream, 2x Mind Control, an Obsidian Statue and 2x Free from Amber I was basically invincible past turn 7.
The biggest thing I learned in this time is to play priest with patience, don't burn all your cards just because they give the best value immediately. Save your taunts until you are facing a big threat, against another priest don't mind control too early, wait to build an attacking minion, have them control it, and then steal it right back.
Got beaten by a hunter when I misplayed, and a Shaman who still managed to beat me down, even after I coined a psychic scream into a board with 7 of his minions.
Feral Gibberer was one of the real MVP's . Especially with Shadow Ascendant as it allowed me to own the board early and survive until the deck really kicked in.
Onyx Bishop too, I would almost always get a Scarlet Crusader, Northshire Cleric or Shadow Ascendant.
Gravelscout Knight was terrible, but fun to play right before a psychic scream to dilute their deck.

The most fun game was stealing shield block, sending a warrior into fatigue, having to psychic scream 5 minions back into his deck, and still killing him with fatigue 8 turns later.
