Not nearly enough card draw in this deck. Velen OTK has always needed card draw. Its a rather large oversight if you ask me.
I have to agree with SanityBox here. The current meta has added a lot of big plays before OTK Priest is likely to pull of its combo (C'Thun, Yogg) and this list seems way too optimistic. Theres no Thalnos nor Pyromancer in this deck which are basically staples for OTK Priest, in stead theres Forbidden Shaping and Elise which is basically a second obsolete win condition for a deck revolving around a combo with Velen. Also OTK Priest needs more card draw to get to the combo fast enough, 2 accolytes work great with pyro.
I'm pretty sure a C'thun OTK Priest would be better, you get 2 cards that heal you for 10 barred by a condition thats ridiculously easy to reach, you just need C'thun which is insane anyways, 2 Disciples of C'thun which is a great card even without C'thun, and a few others that are hardly fillers (the epic taunt for instance).
Trump is not a theorycrafter. He's never pushed the meta. This is just another of his gimmick decks.
He's the one that popularized Hybrid Hunter, so just by that alone means you're wrong.
You don't have to be a meta pioneer to be able to theorycraft. Look at how many old gods decks were made before the expansion even released.
Prophet Velen, Flash Heal x2, Mind Blast x1? Will rarely work. With the loss of Deathlord, Zombie Chow, Lightbomb and Velen's Chosen I doubt how long a fatigue priest or OTK priest can survive. Opponent played Twin Emperor Vek'lor? game over.
i think his idea is sound with this deck. There is a serious lack of card draw but thats easy to add. but the major synergies are there. lots of healing or damage coming from cards all over the deck. very difficult to play but definitely do-able.
