Hi, guys!
I play control priest with a quest for 3 seasons. This is my favorite deck at the moment. I adapted it to the current meta and easily move up the rank.
This deck has a very large value. You can easily play with control decks. At the same time, you defeat the hunters in the current meta.
OTK paladins and mehaktun-packs can cause problems. But they are almost absent in ladder.
At the moment, the statistics of the latest version of my deck:
- 92% wins against warlocks
- 65% against hunters
- 77% against mage (100% against the control mage)
- 59% against paladins (so many OTK at 5 rank :))
- 100% against a warrior at the moment. But on my way only 5 warriors came across.
- 58% against the priest. (only resurrect priests are causing problems).
Mulligan and tips:
Always keep quest in hand! :)
In any game you will be delighted with these cards (in descending order of importance):
- Bloodmage Thalnos
- Loot Hoarder
- Crystalline Oracle
With these cards you scroll the deck and complete the quest. Hold in your hand all copies of these cards on the mulligan.
Resurrect them with Twilight's Call.
Do not be afraid to quickly scroll the deck, because it will help you quickly find answers to all threats and complete the quest. And then you use Archbishop Benedictus and get a card advantage.
If these cards did not come, leave the Plated Beetle in your hand vs aggro. He will help fight off early aggression, accumulate some armor and complete the quest.
In addition to the main mulligan:
Vs hunter and aggro: always keep Duskbreaker or Mass Hysteria. And you really can help the card described above. Try not to use Amara, Warden of Hope or Archbishop Benedictus before Zola the Gorgon comes into your hand.
Vs warlock: always expect to play against the zoo and try to find Duskbreaker or Mass Hysteria. Because control warlock you win anyway. But always keep Shadow Word: Death or Shadow Visions for find it (Mountain Giant on 4).
Vs palladin: As with a hunter, only a good idea is to find Spirit Lash (remember that it can be used with Bloodmage Thalnos).
Replacements:
Seance -> Chameleos (if you do not meet the dragon-priests)
Ysera -> Alexstrasza (undesirable replacement. Replace only if you do not have Ysera)
1 x Mass Hysteria -> 1 x Psychic Scream (if you don't meet mid-hunters very often)
If you meet OTK decks very often, take Mojomaster Zihi instead 1xMass Hysteria .
Community video with this deck:
Thanks to everyone who sends gameplay videos with a deck <3
VS Rogue:
PS: I will expand this description. And sorry for my not very good English. ;)
Update 29.01.2019: since there were so many priests with Alexstrasza and Mind Blast's, I replaced the Chameleos with Seance. This allows us to win such priests easily and always have Amara, Warden of Hope after Alexstrasza.
Also replaced 1 Psychic Scream on Mass Hysteria to improve matchup with mid-hunter.
Thanks for the video, added it to the description ;)
TY ;P
I did some changes to this deck, here they are:
-2 Plated Beetle +2 Dead Ringer
Although Dead Ringer will die easier and Twilight's Call won't give you more armor I feel that cycling through your deathrattle cards is very very important in this deck to get the quest completed ASAP specially against aggro.
-1 Zola the Gorgon +1 Seance
I felt that a lot of times I had the quest completed and I had to play Amara, Warden of Hope without Zola the Gorgon . with Seance I can fetch for it using Shadow Visions. This has the potential for more Amara, Warden of Hope, also to use it sooner (7 mana vs 8) or even to look for it at 9 mana when you don't have it. The downside is that is another spell that might reduce your chances to get the one you wanted.
-2 Spirit Lash +1 Mass Hysteria +1 Nightmare Amalgam
Nightmare Amalgam was there because it was the cheapest 3 drop dragon. I removed Bone Drake so I didn't want to lose that dragon synergy as there are not a lot of dragons.
Spirit Lash was basically only used to get some time but never helped me recover from an aggro attack as much as Mass Hysteria did.
-1 Rotten Applebaum -1 Bone Drake +2 Tortollan Shellraiser
I rarely played Bone Drake on curve, because if I could I was already ahead and if I didn't I was pretty behind. Rotten Applebaum has 5 health and while the healing was nice, it is5 mana so I decided that Tortollan Shellraiser were a better option. Also it synergies very well when using Twilight's Call because sometimes the buff on the other 1/1 minion can help clear the board better.
I might keep 1 oracle and 1 plated beetle. But the oracle give me a lot of value.
I value more the pros of Seance than the cons. Not the first time I get to play amara and fish for a seance. with zola I cannot do that.
I never got value out of spirit lash and for me thanos acts more of a 3rd loot hoarder. My goal is to cycle fast to complete the quest, clear the board and win the long game with more value (either from my deck or from theirs).
True about removing maybe 1 physic scream.
What about Seance for this deck?
See "Replacements" ;) You can take it instead Chameleos.
I have Chameleos
Fun deck.
Just had a really cool Emeriss pull off of a Bone Drake against odd taunt warrior. Turns out have two 8/16 Primordial Drake, two 6/6 Duskbreaker and a 16/16 Amara is really tough for the warrior to deal with haha.
I've only played 3 games with it so far and, unfortunately, 2 of them were against OTK Pallys, but I'm really enjoying the deck anyways. Seems super fun and different, which is nice in a pretty stale meta game.
Didn't know a draw was possible!
Very fun deck, thank you. Also, this deck gave me my first ever draw.

8 Games : 7 Hunter, 1 Pala - 8 Loose! Bullshit
This is not a simple deck and requires skill. Especially in long parties against a hunter. Just try and understand your mistakes.
To lose to the hunter 7 times in a row on this deck is simply unreal :)
I'll try to record some demonstration games against hunters. If anyone succeeds in doing this before, I will add his video to the deck description.
I have no idea what you did, but you did it wrong. I haven´t lost to a single hunter yet with this deck in 30 games. ^^
What do you think about Dead Ringer? I feel like it would add a lot of consistency to draw and quest completion. Do you think it could replace Crystalline Oracle?
Unfortunately, this is one of the main cards and there is nothing to replace it. Without it, you will lose control matchups.
I always find myself both enjoying this kind of decks and also sometimes just want to sit in the shower and cry because I have no Idea what Im doing when playing... although just one game (loooong) against even shaman.
This deck is awesome :D benedict and chameleos really help in lopsided matchups and this is never expected. If you haven't already give this deck a try, you will definitely not regret it! I made a video showcasing the deck in all of its glory, I hope you all enjoy it
@Rushfirst What card can replace the Chameleos ?
Best replace - Seance
Really nice deck, thx for share :)
