Zetalot: Prophecy Control Priest Deck

Zetalot: Prophecy Control Priest Deck

Zetalot is one of the few Priest players who reached Legend, and at one point, reached Legend Rank 2 in EU server during season 2. You can watch him play at http://www.twitch.tv/zetalot.

 

Unlike the usual Priest decks, Zetalot’s Priest does not rely on dragging a game to fatigue, and features lots of strong AoE with some really fun finishers.

Meta Changes

The Sunfury Protector and Cabal Shadow Priest is your tech cards and should be replaced to adapt the current meta.

 

Sunfury Protector is good against aggro heavy meta, and could be replaced with The Black Knight where the meta shifts to control, or replaced with Acidic Swamp Ooze when you are seeing a lot of weapon classes. Having difficulty with divine shields? Try to replace it with Blood Knight.

 

Cabal Shadow Priest is another good card against aggro. When the meta shifts to more control oriented, switch Cabal Shadow Priest out for Big Game Hunter or Ragnaros the Firelord
