How to play the Forged Control Priest deck in the Barrens?
This Priest deck, like many before it, is all about controlling the terrain to express itself in the late game. Y'Shaarj, the Defiler comes in particular in this perspective in order to be able to replay cards such as auspicious spirits or the Swifthoof Pearl Brooch. It is therefore above all in the value and management of his tools that this priest can hope to confront his allies.
Not taking advantage of easy-to-play cards at the start of the game, the Sombre inquisitrice Xanesh or even the Blooming in the shadows are pretty good in starting hands. But what we are looking for above all are cards with Corruption in order to activate their effects as quickly as possible. I' horrible growth in particular must be recovered quickly to climb it as quickly as possible.
