Hello everyone i am stefancock
i created this mech priest deck and it carried me easily to legend with an insane win ratio of 85% from rank 5 you can try and see for yourself. If the deck takes 10+ upvotes i will post a full guide on how to play the deck along with mulligans and videos of gameplay with it on legend.
Hope you have fun climbing with it :)
So it s time for muligans baby!!
Against every type of deck you try to find your early game. Te early/mid game of this deck is very powerful. as the time passes this deck becomes more weak to things. So you need to find your cogmasters mechwarpers and try to have in mind to curve out nice so your opponent struggles dealing with your board. try not to have blank turns. Now i ll present you the strategy against every class.
1.Against Warriors:
-Patron warrior doesnt have any nice clear except of patrons with charge. usually if you have a nice start you should be able to win before the patron turn. Also try to hide your minions behind annoyotron because warrior struggles a lot dealing with it.
- if it s Control Warrior its very important to hide your minions behind annoyotron again. this time try to play little bit arround brawl. dont go all in cause one brawl could change things. try to always have things on the board and also in your hand to play in case of a brawl. Usually warrior will start executing and shieldslaming your mechs. when your opponent wont have any other removals ysera will give you the game easily. in case of a board wipe lightbomb is very good against warrior as it kills almost everything.
2. Against Shamans:
-If it s a Midrange Shaman you just watch out for storms but you shouldnt have any problem beating shaman cause you always control the board and your opponent cant deal efficiently with it and you simply end by winning and shaman didnt ever got to get some board control.
-If it s a mech shaman try to play to gain the early board control and always trade your opponents minions. Have in mind fel reaver could always be a problem on turn 5. Try to just survive the early pressure and after that you ll win.
3. Against Rogue: the matchup became surprisingly better for priest. it similar with the strategy you have against control warrior. try not to run out of steam cause blade flurry and by always pressuring the rogue you ll end up winning.
4. Against Paladin: you dont have any problem cause they usually run one equality and it doesnt affect you so much. try to have paladin s board clear and simply hit the opponents face before he starts spamming "WELL MET" :p
5. Against Hunter:
-If it s Midrange Hunter it s very difficult to lose. Usually you can go all in and hunter will struggle a lot dealing with your board. Just have in mind that the dogs some times may kill you if you are low so just count the damage of dogs plus KC.
-If it s Face Hunter you usually dont have the time to react to his board and also healing so it s not an easy matchup as many of you expected. the lack of taunts and heal in this deck is a problem against those face huntards.
6. Against Druid: you have the advantage cause when you overwhelm the board druid cant react so try to put as many minions as you can on the board and play a bit around swipe and force of nature + savage combo and you ll be all right. (Another matchup that suddenly is in priest s favor)
7.Warlock is the class that you don't wanna face.
-Against Handlock: try not to play around moltens and go almost only face and if you re lucky your opponent wont have an answer + molten giants and you ll win :p
-Against zoo/demonshits: just play your hand until you lose in the end cause the damage taken is too much.
8.Mage
-Against Freeze Mage: just rush them down playing a bit around flamestrike. but if this doesnt happen you wont be able to win because the deck doesnt have so much heal or loatheb.
-Against the silly mage with flamewakers and stuff you wont have any problem. Actually you are a counter to this deck by always killing the flamewaker of course because it runs out of steam very often.
-Against mech mage it s almost imposible to lose just because you are as fast as mage but with higher quality minions and spells.
9.Against priest you should be very careful to board wipes and mind control to Ysera. so try to be ahead on board by not overexteding and kill your opponent very slowlyand if possible dont play ysera at all cause if your opponent mind controls it you are not able to deal with it.
So that is a brief guide of the deck. If you have questions just post them and i ll answer.
Also you can join me on www.twitch.tv/stefancock i will start streaming casually in the afternoons.
Thank you very much for your support and i hope you have fun with this deck.
came here to upvote and comment cuz of effort
Any updates to this deck now that entomb and gorillabot are out? Love the deck idea. THanks for all the detail in this guide!
Im a newbie in the game, bought several gvg packs. trying to build a mech priest or mech shaman deck, but i have no legend card. im stucking with R20, what card can i bring in the deck to get a better result?
www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/low-budget-tempo-priest-gvg
buy naxxramas and you should be able to craft this without to much struggle. Its a decent tempo deck with many cards you will need later so its a good place to start. Im still using the base of it in one of my decks even though I have added dr. boom and stuff, its great for ladder and its very unconventional. the element of surprise is strong ;)

I feel like running this deck with -1 Lightbomb +1 Holy Nova -1 Ysera +1 Emperor Thaurissan or +1 Sneeds Old Shredder and -1 Shadow Word: Death +1 Shadowform would be a very effective modification to this deck.
Holy Nova replacing one Lightbomb would be great for taking care of Zoo decks which are an obvious pain when playing this deck vanilla. Dropping Ysera for Thaurissan I think would be a better card since reducing the cost of your cards helps keep the pressure on the opponent with your already very aggro deck. I feel that using Sneeds instead of Thaurissan and Ysera would be great because it's Sneeds, I mean it's a really amazing card. Yeah you could end up getting a Milhouse, but you've got the chance to drop a Sylvanas onto the field for free. Trading Shadowform for SW: D would be a bit of a gamble, but say you've got Vol'jin in your hand and already have Shadowform activated; if you have a target big enough that you wanna hit it with Vol'jin then you probably wanna get rid of it altogether, so just trade health with the large minion and Shadowform it (I'm running this deck without Piloted, Dr., and Sylvanas, but multiple times I've been able to Vol'jin>Shadowform a very large minion and have it win me the game). SW: D is a very important card in this deck so I'll be looking to see if there's anything else I can replace Shadowform with, but like I said I'll be testing this out in Ranked and posting the results.
85% winrate on NA?
I am thinking to build in foe reaper 4000. Could a change with Voljin work? wont it crush the tempo very much?
Do NOT CRAFT FOE REAPER!
I know it seems kool, i thought so too. But foe reaper is much too slow, and usually dies b4 you can attack, to replace voljin any tech card depending on meta. Right now probs harrison, kezan?
This deck is fun but seriously has issues with the curve. It's not uncommon to be stuck with a full hand of dead cards (11 cards cost 5+ mana and 2 SW:D).
Solid deck even though I don't have Vol'jin or 2nd Lightbomb. I swapped in a Holy Nova and a Shadow Madness (I felt the deck needed more 4-drops). So far I've gone 7-2.
Good Luck on the ladder everyone!
Vol'jin replacement?
Vol'jin has a pretty unique effect but if I had to replace him, I'd say Loatheb.
Mimiron's Head.
I'd suggest either Sneed's Old Shredder or Harrison Jones
Any replacement for Cabal Shadow Priest?
No! if you ask me bro...
Try Kodo but it is less valueable, cabal is an important card.
Awesome deck! As a noobie priest player, I'm glad to have a deck I can really sink my teeth into with the class :) I've created a short video play through of me playing it.
Keep up the good work!
There is just too much zoo for this to be successful.
