I don't take any credit for this deck!
Zetalot currently plays it on the EU server in top 16 Legend.
I wanted to share this deck with you guys to show you that priest is more than viable with Naxxramas!

I'm sure some people want to know more about this deck. Like basic mulligan strategy and how to play this deck.

Basically you want to mulligan for Undertaker, Zombie Chow, Loot Hoarder and Dark Cultist.
You want a strong turn 1 and turn 2 opener every game. This is deck is all about momentum and not a control deck.
This deck is, like zoo, a minion based control deck. Of course you have some great board clears Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing and Holy Nova but in generel you want to trade favorably with your minions.

The card that seems to give many people who play it the most problems is the Deathlord. Deathlord is NOT a turn 3 card unless you play against an aggro deck. If you play against a control deck you want to use him smart. Play him to protect lethal, your other minions or when you know your opponent has no removal.

Baron Rivendare can be used for some amazing combos in this deck:
- With Auchenai Soulpriest + 2x Zombie Chow + Circle of Healing for 20 damage
- With Dark Cultist for two times 3 Health on your minions
- With Sylvanas Windrunner to steal two minions from your opponent
- With Sludge Belcher to get two token taunts after he dies.
- Or, if you like a challenge, with Deathlord to give your opponent two minions on the board!


Replacements:

A lot of people ask for a replacement for Sylvanas Windrunner. While her effect is unique you can replace her raw stats with Loatheb. Of course Loatheb does have a total different effect but can help you in different situations than Sylvanas Windrunner.

If you need to replace Cairne Bloodhoof i would suggest Argent Commander for good trades or Boulderfist Ogre for a big body.
