Hi guys! So I recently created this Steal Priest deck just for fun, and I ended up finding a TON of success with it. After a bit of tweaking, I found myself climbing to rank 5 early in the season with a winrate over 60%. Its a blast to play and works like a charm.
Asmodai took this deck from rank 200 to 17 legend as well!
Edit: Hit rank 6 legend!!!

Edit- I just hit legend with it on 2/10/18 and I climbed from bottom of rank 2 to legend with a 10-2 record!
Edit: Rank 6!
Matchups
Cubelock/Control Lock- Control Lock is one of the easiest matchups if not the easiest. My winrate against it is well over 80%. Once you steal both of their Voidlord, you basically win the game. They can't resummon anything with their Bloodreaver Gul'dan and N'zoth the corrupter. Here are the main ways to steal a Voidlord:
-Twilight Acolyte/Pint-Size Potion + Cabal Shadow Priest
-Twilight Acolyte/Pint-Size Potion + Potion of Madness + Shadow word pain (or some card that kills the minion on your side. I have even used a stolen Carnivorous Cube or Dark Pact to do so :D)
Cubelock is harder to beat due to Mountain Giant and Doomguard. For this matchup, you need to be smart and steal the right minions depending on the current situation. Use your resources wisely.
Aggro Decks- This deck seems to beat aggro decks most of the time, thanks to Duskbreaker and the Pint-Size Potion + Shadow Word: Horror combo. Potion of Madness can also be very handy. Don't be afraid to steal 2 attack or less minions or play Twilight Acolyte for board. You just need to play defensively to win.
Tempo Mage- Tempo mage seems to be one of the harder matchups, but you are still slightly favored. If they play Aluneth early it is incredibly hard to win. Be careful of burn and try to minimize the face damage you take early game as much as you can. Their chip damage just gets you closer to burn range. Once you gain board and stabilize it becomes easy to win as long as your health is not too low.
Combo Dragon Priest- I actually usually win this matchup. Use your resources wisely and try to remove any high health minions they have. Stealing a high health Twilight Drake has always been huge for me. From that point, I have board and I can am usually able to continue removing his minions while developing my own. Its easy to win this way because their deck is so reliant on having minions on board.
Spiteful Priest- This matchup is really easy thanks to the fact that their only spells are Mind Control and Free From Amber. the pint-size horror combo and stealing their dragons seem to work really well against them. As with Combo Dragon Priest, once you gain board it is very easy to win. It is incredibly hard for them to clear your board and you can just develop minions while removing theirs.
KiwiiNBacon made a really cool showcase video, check it out here!
Hope you enjoy the deck! Mulligan Guide in progress
I was debating weapon removal too, I had an ooze in there for a bit at some point. I mainly put the songstealer to counter minions that I didn't wanna steal, but were good enough that I had to remove immediately, such as Rin.
Yeah I didn’t like Harrison that much arter testning him for a bit. I now run a Book Wyrm instead and it has worked pretty well so far! Felt the need for another dragon sometimes, more often then the need for silence I would say.
Ya i know exactly what u mean when u say u feel like u need another dragon sometimes, i had book wyrm for a bit too. It comboes with pint size too
I am in love with this deck. It is so strong currently on the ladder and I am super happy to see steal priest back at it once again.
I made video showcasing the deck in all of its glory, so I hope you all enjoy!
wow! Thanksss :D
Beautiful deck, some questions: Why do you have alexstrasza in the deck? and should I add an oozie to the warlock and mage weapon?
Its mainly for heal, but it can also pressure the opponent. I was switching between Ysera and Alex, but I found more success with Alex in the end
It's fun, but useless.
Really liked the deck when I saw it and used the dust from disenchanting Patches to craft Ysera to be able to make it.
I just finished climbing from Rank 19 to 15 with a 14-5 (74%) record.
Cubelock can still be a problem, if they get their weapon early and a free Doomguard on turn 6 that they can instantly cube and then sacrifice the cube (I lost two additional games vs Cubelock that are not included in the stats because they were played on my iPad).
Versus Mage I found Priest of the Feast to be very valuable, so I suggest keeping him in the opening hand.
I have to apologize for my previous comment.\I gacve this deck another try and it is doing fine.
Did even manage to get some streaks at rank 10+
terrible deck!!! absolutely useless for ladder!!!
maybe you're terrible
worst deck ever!This guy completely dont know what he doing.
Been playing this a bunch the last 2 days. It is really fun and you can win in some strange ways. I find Jade druid annoying but I haven't faced much of that.
70%??? I just went 0-10 with this deck....
I like the idea of it, it's just not working for me.
Any suggestions for replacing Dragon Potion? I don't want to craft a card that will be moving out of standard soon.
I find the deck interesting, but you can end up with a lot of spells another little to attack with depending on your draw. I might try to tweak a bit, increasing minions and decreasing spells.
I'm struggling to use the clerics effectively too with no taunts to hide them behind.
I am in the same situation as you regarding crafting dragonfire potion. I replaced it with shadowreaper anduin and it works really Well! 10-1 so far.
Any replacement for 1 Twilight acolyte and 1 Cabal shadow priest ?
Unfortunatley you really need 2 of each card for this deck to work out for you.
What would i have to use to replace Netherspite Historian and Ysera
