Notes

The clock is yours; your Shadow Priest is the exception

Counts, yours: Ret 8, Holy 8, Shadow 4. Theirs: Rogue 6, Hunter 6, Priest 5. Two Paladins with three immunities each between them means their go has to be perfect and yours does not. The whole matchup is whether your Shadow Priest — four answers, no escape, no interrupt — lives through the two or three real attempts they get.

Opener — protect the Priest before you attack
