how to beat dragon priest?

[nexusrunner]

10 in a row losing, i changed decks and cards, seem it always 2 steps ahead, and seem to have too many weapons to wipe my decks or made it helpless. i played Magic the gathering since 1995, i started playing Legends somewhere in mid sept.
i had been fine tuning in practice mode with AI to get better result.
i think that deck is cheating with "RNG" factor drawing the cards and seem to know what i have.

it is almost like playing a grief deck and very frustrating.

what best cards to handle that? i played lethal, life, gaurds, and prophecy and some burn cards.
also, i may not have all the cards. Do i need Dark Brotherhood cards?

I... don't even think that I had a strategy going into this match honestly. I'm pretty sure that I just used a standard Prophecy Battlemage deck for it, or maybe a Midrange Scout (I was only using those 2 for story missions so far) and beat it on my first try.

I also really wouldn't suggest "fine tuning" in AI Practice matches, since the AI is notoriously hyper-aggro. Being able to counter that is good, but it won't help you counter other players or other specific story scenarios.

15 health makes it difficult. I used scout deck with pilfer/drain.

Honestly, the only 2 decks you need for any of the matches are fast aggro and whatever kind of control you prefer. Then play whichever one makes more sense depending on the match.

I have no idea what match this one was, but if it's one that has a time limit you just play some kind of prophecy aggro and win in 5 turns like you should be doing against most of these matches anyway.

Unless it's the master level, then I have no idea because I have no interest in playing these matches a 2nd time.

Dragon Priest is in Clockwork story, he appear in 8th of 9 matches in chapter 1. that deck it uses, with lethals, buff up "bigger and bigger" mobs, lot of morph spells and kill action cards, and lot of throw aways and gaurds.

finally beat it, made a different deck with 1-hit scouts and burn mages and with assorted cards from 'lion head" faction sets with drains.
now i am on next area, those dragons and that awful "snowstorn" are lot harder and i got puzzle box from one of 3 tasks.
problem was, i dont have any card that can kill support cards, so i go back to practice, which will take me days of farming the gems tobuy those destroy that support cards that make fake dragons.

There is no point in destroying Dragon Mound. Read what the card does: It turns all cards in your deck into Dragons. Removing it won't change them back.

Even on master I did not bother to take out the dragon mounds. It can be a tough fight when the AI hits the right dragons. So, redoing that one a few times is not a shame.

The snowstorm one is pretty fun and not so hard. Just bring the right deck.
