Reno, Reno everywhere.
This deck combines Shadowform with a Reno Jackson Highlander Control Deck. Reno negates the downside of Shadowform.
I want to share this list with you and wait for some feedback. It's just a cool deck and i don't care about winrates, easy legend or something else. But i climbed easy form 17 to 6 in 4 days, without playing that much.
Mulligan: 3 or less mana cards, with coin maybe a 4 mana card. Always keep Reno and Shadowform!
Sideboard: Frost Giant, Molten Giant, Garrison Commander, Zombie Chow, Sylvanas Windrunner, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Power Word: Glory, Kezan Mystic, Thoughtsteal, Bolf Ramshield (if you face a lot of OTK decks like Freeze Mage, Malygos decks or the new Anyfin Can Happen decks)
Matchups:
- Mill-Juggernaut-Warrior isn't beatable!
- won against all other decks so far
- OTK decks are very hard to beat
- control matchups are favoured
Hints:
- You can use your hero power twice a turn if you play Shadowform after using it the first time.
- Doomsayer is great, but it need a little bit practice to finde the right point. The best situation is turn 2 into Shadowform turn 3. Chow is an option if you don't like Powerpord Glory.
- If you expect Jaraxxus, save Holy Fire to rush him down.
- Deathlord is best, when you have MCT, Shadow Madness or Lightbomb in hand.
I just got my golden Priest, ~400 wins with Shadowform decks! :)
update: I reworked the deck an added Brann Bronzebeard and some new cards, climbed to rank5 with 5-0 winstreak.
update 13.12.15: Welcome Elise Starseeker! The League of Explorers is nearly complete.
update 09.03.16: Kibler played Shadow Reno Priest yesterday on his stream. Noxious was playing Shadow Reno Priest as well:
I don't know which part of the ladder you're on, but all I see is aggro :P
I wasn't down with removing a taunt from the deck. There are only a few, and they are in essence heals when you get unlucky and draw Reno or Shadowform late. Not really understanding the addition of Coldlight. To me that's a wash and only helps your opponent get cards while you stay at the same ratio.
I added an Alexstraza- my thinking is that this way I can concentrate fully on enemy minions and hope to surprise them when it gets to fatigue.
Immediately changed this. Put in Velen. Also ditched Harrison (not coming across weapons and I don't need a lot of draw) and added a Nexus Champion Saraad. I use Hero Power a LOT, so this made some sense.
In my deck list - 1x sylvannas +1 ElyseStarskeeker... Against a face hunter check... I was praying for he doesn't surrender. I'll keep trying and experimenting with the deck

Is there any replacement for Vol'jin? I don't have him
Probably a BGH.
Hi man, I am running your decklist with a few modifications based in the "meta" and also i don't have doomsayer. I only carry a copy of any because with the new shamantard you need Reno on 6 and sometimes you don't have time to get a copy of shadowform. I add to the deck Jeweld Scarab, bloodmage Tlalnos, Youthful Brewmaster and Dr.7 . Cutting Earthring, second shadow form, loot hoarder and gnomish inventor.
I made this changes to get more stable late and powerful AoE, with Dr.7 we can pressure a lot in control matchs, and with the scarab we can get another PW:D, 2nd shadowform, cultish, thoughtshealth or any other 3-drop and we can pick the cards that we need for that match :D.
Thalnos help to make combos and draw, we can kill in turn 3 (or 2 with coin) the tunnel trogg or in late game get 4 dmg excaved evil, 3 dmg holy nova or 6 dmg holy fire, making or AoE better, finally other surprise with the brewmaster we can get doble value of our battlecry minios (doble reno is just a joke), use your imagination doble silence with owl, doble 3 drop with scarab, doble steal with cabala or doble heals from vendor, healbot or Reno (in a match i get almost 80 of heal between power, doble reno, healbot and vendor just insane).
Rank 14 till now, with a 80% of winrate only lost against mech mage you can kill the mage quick enough before antonidas and fireballs for all. Great deck, Grettings from México.
Also i trolled a jaraxuss into fatigue and lightbombed their board with 4 infenals after Reno, he surrender. He add me a friend, after i got flamed gg ez
^ brewmaster and scarab are good idea
How is ti going man? What Rank right now?
Really fun deck, and good too! I've been using it in ranked for a good win rate. (8-1 so far after changes) :D
However, I disagree with many of your card choices. This deck seems to function like a mill deck, but it has too much card draw to work well against a lot of control decks. I've replaced loot hoarder, acolyte, gnomish inventor, and harrison to avoid drawing myself out before my opponent.
Been trying explosive sheep with great success, it works well against aggro and can be played with a ping from your shadowform as a consecration :)
Some other cards worth trying: Prophet Velen for a 6 dmg hero power. I've tried abomination but I don't like the 2 dmg to my face. Sylvanas works well as a 2-for-1 against control and a strong play against aggro. Acidic swamp ooze could work really well against some decks in place of harrison. Also Icehowl might be really good, I know Kripp likes to use it in his mill druid deck which is very similar to this. Thoughtsteal can be great against both control and aggro most of the time... and I once draw the FoN Savage Roar combo to kill my opponent early :D
i made 1 change removed Harrison Jones for Conffessor Pletress cus i didnt meet eny weapon classes, feels good the deck even crushed the nr.1 Dragon Priest deck :3
As some have mentioned, I found zero value in Acolyte. Same with loot hoarder. Hoarder was a little better for an early game body and a quick draw when you don't have coin, but I have found that there's almost no scenario where I want to be drawing more than my opponent. I took out a Loot Hoarder and the Acolyte of Pain and replaced them with a Brann Bronzebeard and a Confessor Paletress. Paletress is for the fun of it-- plus, I figure most people use Boom and I will typically Entomb or Mind Control that anyway. If I get behind on board big time, a Brann with MCT could be huge.I tried to put a second Entomb in, but I forgot about having two of those in my first game and dropped a do-nothing Reno as a result. I like barely having to think about anything but drawing Shadowform.
This is one of the most entertaining decks I have played with. When everything clicks you can feel the desperation of your opponent. Thanks for the deck.
There have been times when I've almost felt bad, but nothing beats dropping a 29-life Reno when some Hunter is endlessly "sorry'ing" you, thinking he's got easy lethal the next turn.
This deck has made me want to start recording-- just get drunk and stream the madness.
I like this deck...A lot.
Would it be wise to make a version of this deck with Brann Bronzebeard instead of Reno? I feel like he would combo very well with the healing minions, and with this, you can add doubles of any card you want.
Hi, Reno is the star of the deck. If you don't use Reno just simple get wrecked by aggro.
Changed one Loot Hoarder for a second Entomb. Hasnt lost yet, i always seem to have the right answer at the right time. Good deck, consistent. Also changed an Earthen Ring Farseer into a Thoughtsteal. The thinking being that gaining one Thoughtsteal makes up for the loss of card draw from Loot Hoarder, since it draws 2 cards while providing correct answers to the decks you face. Aggro decks have fast minions and spells, and those cards are perfect at hampering their own gameplan, improving your control. Likewise control decks run control cards, and this deck is good at control already. I just like the flexibility of Thoughtsteal more than the 3 healing from Farseer.
Edit: Need to find a way to add a Museum Curator in here when the last wing opens. Maybe its good. Perhaps in place of Doomsayer since Unstable Ghoul and Abomination and Sylvanas Windrunner exists and are deathrattle minions. Not to mention Explosive Sheep. This would also improve flexibility of the deck, i feel. Might even run 2 and drop the Unstable Ghoul that already is in the deck, but unsure about it. Needs testing :)
Edit 2: Pondering adding a second Excavated Evil in here too. The card is amazing and you often get it back when going to fatigue, making it an auto win for the Priest who can do fine without a board. I dont know yet, one has been enough so far. Also, adding duplicates to the deck may cost more than it tastes. Maybe 3 duplicates is enough. Besides, giving the enemy 2 Excavated Evil may give him too much power over my board, but then i'd win a fatigue war... im not sure. Need to experiment.
Good idea with the second Entomb! It might be a bit redundant though since this deck already wins pretty hard against control and there's already tons of hard removal (like mind control). But definitely Explosive sheep, Thoughtsteal, Abomination, and Sylvanas are good choices IMO.
Excavated Evil might be good, it kinda wrecks aggro hard and it forces a card into their deck that they don't want. But I think it might be a dead card against control when dealing 3 to the board wouldn't clear much and adding a card to their deck is the opposite of your intent.
