"Wildlander"
Hi everyone, reached Legend this season with my Wildlander (Highlander) Priest. I could go further, I had 73% winrate from rank 5 to Legend, but I don't want to
-MULLIGAN-
Keep Always:
These guys are core cards and best 4 and 5 mana drops in this deck, Kazakus is so flexible card and mostly it saves your game and pushes back your opponent in early game. Raza is the second most needed card in this game, even if you face aggro decks hold it, and if you have a coin, just play it on turn 4 and heal yourself for 0 mana, 5/5 is a big threat in early game for any kind of class.
-Against Aggro and Midrange Decks-
(Face Hunter, Murloc Pal, Face Shaman, Aggro Druid, Tempo Rogue)
-Against Control Decks-
(Krullock, N'zoth Priest, Control Mage, Control Warrior)
-STRATEGY-
Two main priorities:
-Survive (The deck contains a lot of aoe spells, try to clean your opponent's board);
-Draw a card (be careful while playing Acolyte of Pain, your opponent can burn your cards).
1)It's a combo deck, BUT keep in mind that if you play against Aggro decks, forget about your combo, otherwise your opponent finishes the game on turn 5-6.
2)Draw your cards and try to find your CORE cards such as Shadowreaper Anduin and Raza the Chained. In mirror matches, you can play Excavated Evil just like that to counter Raza, Reno, Kazakus (you opponent probably has Excavated Evil in his deck)
-FAQ-
-Why not Lyra the Sunshard?
It's because Lyra the Sunshard isn't winning condition, and it is not the part of your combo. But I have another version of this deck with Lyra the Sunshard with more low mana spells so you can burn your opponent's face if you played DK and I can post it too if you ask.
-Why not Elise the Trailblazer?
Elise the Trailblazer suits well in control decks, and I tried Elise in early version of this deck, but she was unnecessary, your task is to burn your opponent's face with finishers like Spawn of Shadows and Prophet Velen, thanks to them, you can deal more than 30 damage in a single turn.
-HOW TO WIN ?-
If you have ever played Highlander Priest in Stardand, you don't need to read this.
If you have Played DK and Raza Earlier the following combo deals 28 damage in a single turn:
BUT thanks to the following cards you can deal a way more damage, you can OTK even if your opponent got 5 armor from DK:
And yes, sometimes it's better to choose 1 mana Kazakus Potion instead of 10, to OTK your opponent, Under the Velen it deals *6* damage to face and it's a great advantage while you combine it with *4* damage heropower.
-GOOD and BAD Matchups-
Bad Matchups:
Exodia Mage-
Fortunately, Exodia Quest mage is not so popular in wild so don't worry too much about it. Your deck is slow, even if you draw your Core cards, your opponent has 2x Ice Blocks and too much freezing stuff. But you can win, Dirty Rat can pull off Archmage Antonidas, besides Curious Glimmerroot can give you Ice Block .
Big Priest-
the only way to win Big Priest is playing cards by mana curve every turn by tempo to keep your opponent on pressure. Try to find Polymorph from Kazakus Spell and keep silence for Obsidian Statue. Hold Potion of Madness for Barnes, it's a good counter.
Good Matchups:
Krullock-
This deck is really good vs any warlock class deck. Krullock is slow and your opponent uses heropower to draw a card and loses health, and you can take an advantage from this and OTK your opponent without Emperor Thaurissan or Prophet Velen.
N'zoth Priest-
N'zoth Priest is slow, mostly tries to defend himself playing taunt and deathrattle minions, slowly lower your opponent's face by DK every turn, your opponent doesn't play Reno when he has 20 or more health, and 20 damage in a single turn is not a problem for Highlander Priest.
Jade Druid -
Jade druid in wild is not as powerful as in stardard against Highlander Priest. The deck contains a lot of AoE spells like Lightbomb,Kazakus Potion, DK Anduin, Dragon Potion, Excavated Evil to survive Jade Giants. Just keep drawing cards, if you find DK and Raza you win the game easily.
I hope you enjoyed the guide, if you have questions and suggestions please leave it in comments below.
Edit: Added Wild Pyromancer for me Board Control
yeah R.I.P.
Why no Skulking Geist?
why do you need a Geist? For what? No Jade Druids in Wild, besides Jade Druid is easy win
Yeah, you're right, I was just wondering because Gadgetzan Auctioneer didn't really seem necessary in play due to all the other means of card draw, so I was looking for a replacement.
Why is there no Prophet Velen?
You don't need him, Spawn of Shadows is enough as win condition, but it's just my preference, you can add min with Mindblast
Oh okay. I was just wondering since in the "how to win" section you have left Velen and company but they were not included on the list, meanwhile.
Yeah I used to run both, but I realized that Spawn of Shadows and Auchenai Soulpriest + Flash Heal is faster. Cause you don't need 10 mana to OTK your opponents, play Anduin on turn 8 and next turn you win if you have all pieces of combo.
Wow, nice to read rhat.
So in the end would you affirm that this version without Velen etc is more performing than the old one?
I'd really like to try this list :)
Also I do not have Lyra the Sunshard, I usually replace her with Nexus-Champion Saraad which sinergies well with the hero power. Do you have any better suggestion to replace Lyra?
You know what, I'm gonna share another List with BOTH Velen+Mindblast and Spawn of Shadows (without Lyra), and my friend reached legend#65 with it. It's a bit greedy and may not be as Flexible against aggro/midrange decks as this current list above, cause you need to take out your removals in order to add Velen+Mindblast instead. But The deck is stable, and has high winrate. I lost only 2 games between ranks 8 to 5. Maybe I should change the current list to this one (with Velen and Spawn of Shadows) . Here is the list -
Wildlander v3.0

Whats the reason for not including Mind Blast? Replacing Dirty Rat with Deathlord? Since what you want is to survive till you have the combo, Lightbomb?
A personal choice of mind is adding Corridor Creeper. You are going to clear board multiple times against aggro and the rest. Having a 5/5 on board that costs 0 is pretty neat.
Corridor Creeper in RenoPriest ?? it's not a part of your combo besides you don't fight for filling the board, it's not Tempo deck, so Corridor is not needed
Any swap for Emperor? Dont have it right now. Accidently dusted him, now trying to get back but its 1000 dust away.
What should we do against The Darkness? Is there anyway?
The Darkness won't be a thing. If they play him it's just one of those games where you draw Raza late
Reached legend today for the first time. Thank you so much!!!!
As mentioned in other comments, mulligan is more than half game
I appreciate it. Today I got it too
I started playing this Deck and in 3 Day with 77 wins ( 60 + win rate ) reached R5 :) Just replaced Tar Creeper with Sludge Belcher
Thanks for this deck ;)
Nice guide, very useful in the last ranks, mulligan is more than half game.
I reached legend with deck (39W-20L, 66% win ratio).
Thanks very much
Can't get past rank 7. Constantly dying to aggro decks around turn 6-7. Replaced Currious Glimmerroot with Loot Hoarder to make card draw even better.
