Hello everyone,
My name is Outrage_92 and this is my control Priest deck. It is somewhat simillar to Kolento's 12 season Control priest but with a few changes of my own. It is a very fun deck to play with, with many different outcomes and very effective at the same time. It could be a very underwhelming in the first few games you try it out, but trust me, the more you play, the better it gets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the card choices and the reasoning behind their choice + some good combinations
Circle of Healing - Very important card in almost every Priest deck as it clears the board when combined with Auchenai Soulpriest or can be combined with Injured Blademaster
Power Word: Shield - Good combo with Wild Pyromancer and Northshire Cleric. Can also give huge advantage when facing aggro decks.
Northshire Cleric - Now, the reason I put only one Cleric is that very often you don't get value from both Clerics and sometimes the second Cleric comes very late in the game when you might not need card draw. Besides that Zombie Chow is a very good 1 drop and can be combined with Auchenai Soulpriest for damage input. If you don't find this idea good enough, you're always welcome to go back to the traditional 2xCleric.
Shrinkmeister - This card is awesome when combined together with Cabal Shadow Priest against hard-to-deal-with 4-attack drops such as Ysera, Druid of the Claw, Yetis , etc., EPIC! Big game changer, can me combined with Shadow Madness as well. P.S. It is a good 2 drop against aggro decks and I suggest to be used when faced one.
Velen's Chosen - Now, this is a card that can be a huge turn point when facing aggro decks and the main reason why I put it here. Works nicely together with Sludge Belcher, Wild Pyromancer and Holy Nova
Shadow Word: Death & Thoughtsteal - Those are the cards you might need the most when facing control based decks. #Handlocks, #ControlWarriors
Shadow Madness & Recombobulator - Currently, almost every deck runs Sludge Belcher. So, doing this combo you can destroy an enemy minion and get a fresh 5 drop minion. Beastly!
Holy Nova - You always need one nova. Awesome combination with Wild Pyromancer
Harrison Jones - The reason I am running him is because of the current meta(many decks consist of at least one weapon). For those of you who don't have him or don't like him as he isn't beneficial against all classes, a good replacement can be Loatheb or Acidic Swamp Ooze.
[card]Sylvanas Windrunner[/card] Grinds the gears of every opponent unless silenced. At late stage of the game, it is a 9 mana Mind Control together with Shadow Word: Death
Dr. Boom - In my opinion he is better than Ysera in the current meta and just too OP in general. The only downside is that he is the only target for BGH in this deck...possibly.

Thank you for reading this and be very welcome to try out this deck and give your suggestions.
Big thanks to Khristophesaurus for sharing a gameplay footage of the deck!
Cheers and good luck!
Thanks for sharing this awesome deck! I have been having a blast with it, and I made a video with two matches to showcase the deck.
Forgive my n00b mistakes, because I'm still new to the game, and the priest in general.
Ok, so. Kinda new to HearthStone but I was wondering why Injured Blademaster instead of any other 3 drop?
It combos well with Circle of Healing and Light of the Naaru, so typically you see those three cards together (four with Auchenai) as the base of a control priest deck. It's kinda strange that Outrage didn't include LotN, since that makes the two minions a little weaker.
When you recombobulate a minion that has been shadow madnessed, it does not return to your opponent's control at the end of the turn, you get to keep whatever it turns into.
Also just to clarify he meant it destroys sludge belchers, not any minion.
So, this deck is effective and I am having a blast with it! I made one change that has been INCREDIBLE, it has won me the game several times and that is including Blingtron 3000. On his own, still helpful for sure, but paired with Harrison jones you've got a real tempo swing. I usually wait until turn 10 so the opponent doesn't get any value out of their weapon, but there have been a few times I've played bling on 5 and Harrison on 6 because I needed to and it usually works out unless they get gorhowl, which has never happened.
wait.... Healbot in priest? Suffers against aggro? What did i miss?
Harrison isn't necessary, you can replace him with Loatheb or an ooze if you're facing a lot of weapon classes. Recombobulator is a nice gimmick but it's also not totally necessary, you can fill it in with a Brewmaster to bounce back stolen minions and your Cabals, or you can just toss in any other card that helps you in whatever meta you're facing. For the 2nd Cabal, though, I'd say that's pretty important, and you should grind some dust to get it.
I don't have Harrison and I've gotten up all the way to Rank 2 and that's with casual playing and school. Ooze is actually better than Harrison when the meta is fast. You definitely don't need Harrison.
This deck are the deck kolento played a month ago and now he play with no Holy Nova and 1 Ysera
Isnt Ysera better option than boom?
Thanks for the share :3 ! Sooooo played against a control warrior and ended up using Shrinkmeister on his Sneed's then stealing it with Shadow Madness and yeah lol... Was fun XD ! Love Sneed's and I was able to steal one and pop it to keep the dropped legendary :D ! HILARIOUS YOH!!! Then faced a :SMOrc: FACE GOOD :SMOrc: & literally barely lived :4Head: don't know how but I did :p ! Anyways enjoy the gameplay!
Thanks for sharing it :p !
Trade Harrison jones for ?
Ooze?
This decks title is a lie. It's not that good.
hi ! Can i replace one Cabal Shadow Priest with Stampeding Kodo?
thx
Cabal is not in the deck for anti-2 attack minions, it is there for the huge value. If you don't have the second something solid like Sen'jin or Loatheb would be a decent replacement, but feel free to try out Kodo first.
yea i find ysera good in decks that never go face dmg. I believe this one does
No Light of the naaru? With x2 Auchenai x2 Injured Blademaster and x2 Pyromancer it's a must.
A very flexible card with tons of synergy.
This is basically Kolento's deck with -2 naaru +1 chow +1 velen's chosen
Here is some gameplay that might help the people who commented here:
Im confused as to why this has so many upvotes, good luck to you
edit: in previous episodes Kolento used recombabulator instead of dr.boom.
edit: one cleric? that's a first
You dont need TBK, because you can deal in other ways with enemy Sludge Belchers. Ysera and Rag might work, but better try out Toshley. It fills the 6 mana spot and gives you two spare parts, which you can combine with Wild Pyromancer for that one extra damage. Other than that its a 5/7 and trades for two enemy cards most of the time.
