Hei Guys
Mulligans:
Every match:
Hold everytime Awaken the Makers!
You search for low-cost deathrattle-minions like Plated Beetle, Crystalline Oracle, Loot Hoarder and Bloodmage Thalnos.
Against Aggro/Tempo/Midrange (Paladin/Mage/Hunter/Shaman):
For this match up you really try to find the AOEs like Duskbreaker and Bloodmage Thalnos as a support for Spirit Lash.
Wincondition against Aggro: Survive, and complete the Quest. Make their Decks garbage with Psychic Scream (Paladin/Hunter/Shaman). Against Tempo Mage fatigue.
Against Warlock:
Against Warlock you try to find Shadow Word: Death or Shadow Visions to create Shadow Word: Death (against Giant) when you need it.
Wincondition against Controll: Play the value-game and fatigue-game with Archbishop Benedictus. Archbishop Benedictus is also the best konter after Azari, the Devourer after he burn your deck. If possible, you try to play Amara, Warden of Hope with Zola the Gorgon in one Turn.
Update (19.05.2018):
First: Thanks for all the up's!
Because of questions in the comments:
Replaces:
not the best replace but possible (for combo with Amara, Warden of Hope) :
Zola the Gorgon → Baleful Banker
If you like to play with the legendary card Chameleos, you could cut one Bone Drake form the deck.
Update (21.05.2018):
More replacements/techs:
Replaces:
Archbishop Benedictus → Elise the Trailblazer
(Archbishop Benedictus is really powerfull in this deck and Elise can't reach this powerlevel.)
Tech: weapon-removal
One Bone Drake or one Psychic Scream → Acidic Swamp Ooze, Gluttonous Ooze or Harrison Jones. Witch you prefer!
Update (22.05.2018):
Wow!! I thanks you guys for all the up votes and the comments, i'm really happy that the deck arrives so well to the hearthpwn-community!
Inputs from the comments:
Replaces:
Bloodmage Thalnos → Arfus (or Novice Engineer)
Suboptimal, because of the spelldmg with spiritlash.
Deckchanges:
Alexstrasza → Elise the Trailblazer
I try to update the deck, whenever new comments/inputs are posted and finally when the nerfs are online for few days.
If you have questions, ask me in the comments.

Thanks to kiwwinbacon for the video!
Why not add mechs to that deck?
I enjoyed this deck but didn't always work well so I replaced some dead cards. Now the deck never gets boring and always plays very different vs different decks. It's called Copycat Quest Priest
i just love this deck, no more comments
zomg great deck thanks
Really fun and nice deck. Very long games lol. I heard some people have problems against quest warriors, i've had some matches against them and you can definitely beat them mostly by fatigue.
Also the feeling when you get Emeriss from bone drake and then a deathwing from the second bone drake, the fatigue game is just too op. You have so much shit and mostly depends on rng but its almost guaranteed you will gain good stuff from all the cards you have. 16/16 taunt and 40 heal into zola and then another 40 heal btw. You can alextrasza offensively and then just flop the opponent. Really fun deck
rofl i just played against king toggwaggle druid. Filled my hand with naturalizes and stole my deck.
I don't have zola and benedictus. What are the possible replacements and how much viable are they as compared to original. Since i don't wanna craft these card just for a single deck, i mean zola is okay but archibishop is otherwise a bad card.
P.S: i know baleful banker for zola but is it really viable enough or is zola a must? Moreover, i have azalina if she somehow fits somewhere.
Also i don't have quest at this point as well and will be crafting it.
Amazing deck.
This smashes druid, paladin and mage (unless they run that fireball shit).
I've been playing this deck a lot lately and it's so damn fun. I suppose it's weak to OTK decks but I haven't faced one yet - and DK Rexxar will also give you a headache because he gives so much value.
There is so much value in this deck and it's insane how much damage you can take. I've played several games where my opponent would have cleared the "deal 100 damage" quest.
Paladins? Well, pretty much auto win. Sure, you can draw expensive cards and they can draw insane openers but still... pretty easy match up.
Even warlock? It's all about value. Benedictus is MVP in this match up and after you've played him it's a value game which you will win most of the time.
This deck is extremely powerful with the only counter being a strong tempo rogue opener or malygos Druid, and even that can be countered with benedictus stealing malfurion to tank up. The only thing I did differently with it was:
-1 Loot hoarder
+1 chameleos
I hit legend with it in like 30 games from rank 5 0 stars. And I’ve already won 4 in a row since I hit legend. This deck is insane with seemingly no counter. Thanks for the post
I took out both oracles to add mass dispel and silence. It's been helpful, especially against druid. Love this deck, thanks for posting.
Taunt Druid and Spell Hunter are two of the tougher matchups.
If you are seeing a lot of Taunt Druid, tech in Tinkmaster Overspark. It isn't perfect, it does cut their chances with Witching Hour down to 50/50. I also try to get a second copy of Mind Control when playing against them. If you can manage to MC their Lich King, you have a lot better chance of getting through their Hadronox turns. Best case scenario, you MC their Lich King, work your way through the first Hadronox, then MC their cube off the second.
Spell Hunter comes down to getting your Duskbreakers at the right times, and if possible, try to get Benedictus out early and copy their DK. I also will try to get as many Crystalline Oracle as possible, again looking to get Rexxar.
I have noticed my win rate dropping slightly, I believe because people have started to figure out how to play against the deck ... which in most cases is a lot like how we had to play against Exodia Mage ... just slam face with everything early and try to beat the quest.
Should i craft Zola or Alexstrasza? i don't have enough dust for two leggies :(
Alex is better for your collection, but Zola is very important in this deck. Almost every time I can use it with Amara, and got additional 40hp and few turns.
This deck is not too good for climbing, matchups with Hadronox druid and battlecry shaman are very hard. And average time of one game is about 15 minutes :D
I finished the season with about 120 games played, and a win rate of 60%.
Are you having problems with a specific matchup, or just the deck in general?
Against Paladin (really doesn't matter which one), you should be almost 100% win rate. Dont stress too much on your early life total and waste your board clears too soon, But dont let them get too far ahead either. The idea here is you just run them out of resources while you get your quest finished. They just simply wont have enough left in the tank to get through 40 or 80 additional health.
Speaking of that, always try to pair Amara with Zola if at all possible.
Against Taunt Druid. Can be easy, or can be tough. They start slow, so getting the quest done is pretty simple. You have to just grind through their initial minions, and then you need to mind control their cube. I have noticed some players are playing around this by giving up the cube, and just going for 2 rounds of recall with witching hour, making it a tougher match. This is where having the extra copy of Amara comes in handy.
Against Token Druid. Save Scream until they fill the board with wisps. Even better if they use their treant spell on them. A second way to deal with them is to Spirit Lash the 1/1's, and Drake the 2/2's. Dont leave them a full board, no matter how safe you think you are on life total. They can buff the crap out of their minions if you aren't careful.
Big Spell Mage. This matchup is tough. Jaina can easily give them enough value to just outlast you, even with double Amara. I will usually try to get Benedictus out as early as possible, and hope I get Jaina in their deck. If they get her, and you don't, honestly, you probably are going to lose. I have taken some games a LONG way with them, but in the end, you just can't control their lifesteal enough.
Burn Mage. Get Amara before you die, and you win.
Odd rogue or miracle. Deal with the Clan Thugs, and you usually are OK. Watch out for big bursts from Cold Blood early. Another match where its really just a race to complete the quest.
All in all, the idea is just to get the quest done. Try to hold off on using Amara as long as possible, and try to get her copied with Zola. I usually hold off on playing Benedictus until after I have Zola and Anduin in hand, with the exceptions being against Spell Hunter and Big Spell Mage. You really want their DK in those situations, as they will out value you down the stretch.
Here are my stats. I managed to improve my winrate a bit.
Win/Loss Winrate
111W 117L 48.7%
Class Win/Loss Winrate
vs Paladin 11W 6L 64.7%
vs Mage 19W 15L 55.9%
vs Shaman 14W 13L 51.9%
vs Hunter 13W 14L 48.1%
vs Priest 10W 11L 47.6%
vs Warlock 9W 11L 45.0%
vs Druid 18W 24L 42.9%
vs Warrior 6W 8L 42.9%
vs Rogue 11W 15L 42.3%
I follow the guide closely always playing Amara with Zora and waiting until the last 10 hp. I fight mostly druids and hunters. I suspect I play Benedictus incorrectly and sometime I get bursted down even by holding Amara for too long.
How you always have dragons for duskbreaker? I always lost before I got my duskbreaker activated
Climbed from rank 3 to 1 EU, my 2 first games where mirrors (the 2 only times i ever faced this deck) and resulted as turn 45 draws lol.
Good thing it just crushes Hadronox Druid. The only thing - you need to absolutely MC their Lich King and it's pretty much over for them after that. Not even 3 Hadronoxes could save them. Psychic Scream their board when Hadronox is Cubed and it's GG. Awesome!
