Hey guys so if you have been trying to find a priest deck on Hearthpwn lately your probably finding all this resurrect bull crap that is really RNG based and commonly inconsistent so I'm bringing it back to the old reliable priest deck that will put up good numbers for you on ladder. I climbed from 12 up to 4 I'm at right now
This priest deck is very good in the meta nowadays because everyone plays zoo/hunter/mech crap but this deck will win against those with one auchenai circle. Once you play through all the zoo and get up there on ladder like below ten then the whole meta will shift and you will play against mostly control and midrange decks, priest is always a good match vs. control too so you will do well and win around 75% of the time depending on draw.
Now onto some of the reliable combos run in this priest deck that will allow for game-changing tempo swings.
-Turn 3 injured blade master + circle of healing... This will either take removal or trade for there 3 and 4 drop
-Auchenai + circle of healing will be a reliable board clear with two copies of each. You can clear the board after a zoo/hunter dumps there whole hand
-Shrinkmeister + cabal shadow priest combo to mind control a yeti or ysera or anything with 4 or less attack pretty standard and does work so craft those cabals if you don't already have them
-Shadow madness + recombobulator this combo is an amazing tempo swing that will flip the board for you and usually win you the midrange. First you shadow madness usually a 3-4 drop then trade with it against the opponents board, then you recombobulate it and get a new 4 drop a 3/2 body and clear there board
If you are playing against a lot of aggro/zoo then you can sub a deathlord and a shadow word pain for thoughtsteal and a shadow word death. Otherwise, the thoughtsteal and extra death will give you the edge in many control matchups.
upvote and ill add more
any room for a vol'jin and smite? looks like my kinda deck.
-1 x Shadow Word: Death -1 xHoly Fire +1 xHoly Smite +1 xVol'jin ... works really well for me
Running tempo Priest deck right now that uses Resurrect early-game to make Dark Cultist "sticky" and it steamrolled this exact deck. I ran Shadowboxer and made every move for my opponent a bad one. Personally, I hate combo Priest (ran it since day 1 of playing) because if you don't have the cards in hand, you lose. It's capable of great tempo swings but it still feels situational.
I love Priest, but it's combo-dependent nature is why it doesn't do so hot. Current deck I'm running has 0 combo-dependency and is all about trade-value and having early-game answers to maintain board presence until Thaurissan or Sylvanas hit the board.
This is not the "best right now", if you want a reliable Priest list that doesn't use Resurrect, try TaikiM13's deck. This deck is fine but not nearly as good as Taiki's
I only play priest and since the BRM launch I've struggled to win on the ladder. So far, this deck has been working for me. I love that I get to use shadow madness again after a dearth! Before I started to use this, I was almost guaranteed to lose against any control deck as I don't have many legendaries or lightbombs. This gives me a fighting chance and handles aggro decks on top of that. One particular win against a control warrior, I was able to shrink his sneed's old shredder, shadow madness, and then kill his rag with it and my thaurissan! Thanks for posting this. I don't have dr. win yet so I replaced him with ragnaros.
won 5 games for a quest only took 5 games :P great deck thx :)
This is fucking garbage... Well, more-so my luck is. I don't fucking have ANY luck with this, I can't draw anything I need against any type of aggro...
I melted a whole bunch of shit for this deck and it isn't working, my RNG is fucking shit
I feel you bro ... I FEEL U :(
Bentley whats your twitch? I saw someone hosting you yesterday.
This is a fun deck. I've played it in casual to get a feel for it; there are some very nice combos (one of my favorites was a [card]Shrinkmeister[/card]/[card]Shadow Madness[/card]/[card]Recombobulator[/card] on a Guardian of Kings, which netted me Baron Geddon -- of all cards). Well done!
Love this deck. Reliable against hunter and zoo thanks to Auch clear and all the trickery you can do with recombobulator and mind control effects. Also like that it doesn't have any legendary priest cards since I don't have any at the moment.
Lots of fun and reliable.
