Zhannagression
For the sake of discussion, here's the zhanna deck I'm experimenting right now, and the deck I feel
most confortable about since I've been playing priest. There is room for improvement, but
it's doing fine at my level (~260) ... at least so far.
It's supposed to be a fast Zhanna, taking a few shortcuts wrt to more classical
builds such as Zhannax.
To do that, I use only small cc allies, and try to swarm the opponent with allies
under KP, possibly revived with GM. You could even say it's a deathrace zhanna (tongue-in-cheek mode).
Zhanna
3x Birgitte Skullborn
3x Dirk Saber
3x Jasmine Rosecult
3x Priest of the Light
4x Tainted Oracle
4x Tidal Wave
2x Ice Storm
4x Focused Prayer
3x Smite
2x Book of curses
3x The King's Pride
3x Wizent's Staff
3x Ghost Maker
The main draw is TO+GM (forget about the impossible combo with EP), with
WS as secondary draw engine, or after the deck takes control of the board.
This deck needs only to reach 7-8 resources to be on cruise control, by which time
you can cast 3 allies at the same time. I don't have 5cc allies because it takes too long
to reach the point when you can cast enough of them to matter. It's easier to have too many
targets that the opponent can handle, and then cast KP.
In the first stage, fight for the board to distract the opponent (against some heroes, you might
even keep it, esp. going first), drop TO, wipe, GM, then drop allies until they stick / add a KP and voilà.
You can also wait, play defense with curse and smite until you have enough resources for
an invasion.
Only obvious bad-match up is Moonstalker ... I'm not sure how to handle it, but otherwise, you have
solutions against everyone.
Possible tuning: it's a delicate balance, but I'm not sure about smite, and maybe I could
use another Birgitte or Curse. Curse is mostly only useful goind second anyway.
Birgitte is key to ensure you have at least one round worry-free before putting KP.
I used to have Retreats, but used them in too few occasions to keep them.
People are going to criticize Dirk Saber, I know, but he's good for early board control
going first. Useless otherwise at the beginning.

its underestimated cause puwen is just better in most decks, of course when you know you can wipe board with td, storm, staff, smite you dont care much about 2cc drops, in other decks that 3hp makes a difference

Just make the check: Kris + Aldon + KP = 4atk/2hp for just 1cc having haste. Due to his low hp its better to retreat him so you can recast next turn for attacking again because of haste.
So 4x retreat + 4x Kris + 2 or 3 Aldon would make a finishing move on mid/late game (not on early game cause KP isnt on play yet).
I will try this on test server now, Ive never did before just planned.
