Hey guys, Nana here once again bringing you another fun deck to play in Rise Of Shadows. This is is a version 2 of a ress priest deck I've been having some success with on the ladder since the version 1 will be in wild soon. Here we go;
CORE CARDS
Zerek, Master Cloner, Da Undatakah, Catrina Muerte, Recurring Villain and Mass Resurrection
SUPPORT CARDS
Dead Ringer, Vivid Nightmare, Banana Buffoon and Convincing Infiltrator
TECH CARDS
DRAW
Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield and of course Dead Ringer
REMOVAL/SURVIVAL
Forbidden Words, Zilliax, Mass Hysteria as well as any other minions on board
GENERAL MULLIGAN;
Hand to go for if you don't know what archetype your opponent is or is control
VS AGGRO
Hand to go for vs aggro. Forbidden Words, Extra Arms, More Arms! and Power Word: Shield help you to control the board in conjunction with Northshire Cleric or Dead Ringer in the early game.
VS MIDRANGE
Same idea as in vs. aggro decks. If your opponent seems to be slow relative to you, you can go straight ahead and start your shenanigans with Recurring Villain.
This is how simple a normal game will go for you;
- Play Dead Ringer and draw Recurring Villain.
- Let Recurring Villain die 2 or 3 times or draw the second copy and let that one die too.
- Play Da Undatakah who will get those deathrattles and copy him with Vivid Nightmare
- Da Undatakahs now dies summoning 4-6 copies of themselves.
- Catrina Muerte and Mass Resurrection come in and turn it up to 11
- Profit!
TIPS:
- One cool thing with Zerek, Master Cloner that a lot of people don't know and I want to share is that, When you copy him with Vivid Nightmare, each of the copies will have the copy buff and both will be resurrected when they die. Eg. You cast Vivid NIghtmare on Zerek, Master Cloner, you now have two Zereks that will each ressummon another Zerek, Master Cloner. Very sweet right?
- Try to get as many deathrattle cards like Zerek, Master Cloner, Recurring Villain and Convincing Infiltrator in the ress pool before you play either Catrina Muerte or Mass Resurrection. It increases your odds of summoning those instead on cards like Northshire Cleric, Dead Ringer or Banana Buffoon .This method will reduce the chances of you summoning weak minions that were added to the ress pool from any source.
COMBOS/SYNERGIES
- Zerek, Master Cloner and Convincing Infiltrator plus any spell preferably Vivid Nightmare to increase the likelihood of them being resurrected.
- Catrina Muerte plus Seance
- Recurring Villain plus any spell that increases his attack like Extra Arms, More Arms!
- Da Undatakah plus Seance or any cheap spell. The reason for this is, if you want Da Undatakah to resurrect himself when he dies with Zereks deathrattle, he must have a spell buff on him just like Zerek, Master Cloner but it must be cheap so you can play them on the same turn.
Reasons for certain changes;
- Took out Archmage Vargoth cause he's too slow for this deck and his only use is being lucky to be resurrected by Mass Resurrection so he can cast him again. I needed to make cuts for certain important cards and he sadly didn't make it. I'll still be looking for ways to include him if I can.
- Also took out Mass Dispel for the same reason, we now got a good 4-drop in Recurring Villain so I think we'll be okay. If not, I'll introduce it in the future.
- Took out Grave Horror 'cause I needed space for Banana Buffoon and he's too slow anyways. By the time he gets dropped it already in the late game so not really an aggro deterrent
- Power Word: Replicate unfortunately also had to be cut because it's too slow and we need more board control in the deck in the form of Forbidden Words
- Took out Shadowy Figure because it's too slow and has only a few targets for more defense.
Version 1/Past version:
The first version had to do with resurrecting Zerek, Master Cloner as many times as possible with the help of various spells ( decklist will be at the bottom) and this one aims to do the same (we win through attrition of 5/5 most of the time) is even better. WIth the new changes to Da Undatakah on the latest patch, our goal is now to summon a bunch of 8/5's instead of 5/5. From now Da Undatakah will ressummon himself when he gets the deathrattle of Zerek, Master Cloner and it's safe to say that the same applies to the new ROS card, Recurring Villain

You can leave your suggestions and questions in the comments below and if you like the deck don't forget to give it a +1, thanks. Note that the deck is subject to change in the process of fine tuning it for ladder.
just learn to play and dont whine ♥
Thank God we have a few tech cards to counter Rez Priest now...
Just hope that Hecklebot doesn't summon Zilliax, Zerek, Master Cloner, Convincing Infiltrator, Dead Ringer, Catrina Muerte or Recurring Villain. and of course hope that Unseen Saboteur doesn't cast Mass Resurrection :)
You forgot Mad Summoner :)
making them cast Mass Resurrection when their pool is empty, or filled with bad targets (like Nortshire Cleric), would actually be beneficial. The problem is, even if you play it when he has it in hand, Priest is gonna play a number of spells other than Mass Ress, protecting it a bit...consistency will be an issue, and we know how cards that aren't consistent in HS end up.
Cairne Bloodhoof fits perfectly in this deck. Especially with Shadowy Figure. Nice deck !!
Interesting!!
Interesting deck, I feel may insta lose vs aggro though.
Let's wait until the xpac goes live, okay. This deck is very similar to Wall Priest and they have a healthy winrate don't they?
To be fair Wall Priest summons taunt only. Zerek, Recurring Villian, Da Undertakah and maybe Catrina Muerte (depending on what she summons) do nothing against aggro. Also, Priest is losing spirit lash, shadow visions and psychic scream which helps a lot against aggressive decks. Your defense against aggro starts at t5 (t4 with the coin) compared to Tar Creeper at t2/t3.
Point being: you can't compare the two decks because the current versions of Priest has better tools against aggro than post-rotation Priest decks.
Besides, you are also taking a risk by adding Dead ringer and shadowy figure with a deck that runs Mass Resurrection as you might summon those two minions. I think your decks looks interesting but it seems you underestimate how fast aggro can kill you without early defense.
that's not necessarily a bad thing. LOL
Another way to get Da Undatakah to return is use Recurring Villain, but either way he won't have the Deathrattle when he comes back. I think Convincing Infiltrator, Recurring Villain, and Mechanical Whelp are probably the best rattles to have on him, drop the Dead Ringers so they don't make the pool bad for either Da Undatakah or Mass Resurrection.
Da Undatakah won't return even with the deathrattle of Recurring Villain, how do I know this? Because when it gains the deathrattle of Zerek, Master Cloner, it still returns Zerek when he dies. Zerek, Master Cloners deathrattle can stack on Da Undatakah and you can summon 3 at a time, that's the path I want to take this deck. For Mechanical Whelp I think it's just too slow compared to Zerek, the card everyone wants to ignore.
I am sorry, your deck is still great but you are wrong.
I literally just tested this, played Zerek, Master Cloner had him copied and died 3 times. Played no other DR minions.
Played Da Undatakah (who gained 3 x Zerek Deathrattle) with Seance, he died next turn and created 3 copies of himself with no deathrattles.
It's a huge play, (and may be better with Shadowy Figure methinks, 6 copies possible) but using either Zerek, Master Cloner or when we can Recurring Villain just re summons a "Vanilla" Da Undatakah, you won't get any more after that.
So, Recurring Villain will do the same thing with Da Undatakah but without the cast a spell on it requirement as he is 8 attack. This allows a Shadowy Figure same turn for up to 6 Da Undatakah after a clear to deal with.
Actually, if you had Regenerate or Topsy Turvy you could play Zerek, Master Cloner plonk a 0 cost spell on him and 2 x Shadowy Figure on turn 10 to get 3 back instead of 2 when using Vivid Nightmare. Topsy Turvy will also allow Recurring Villain to come back. Banana Buffoon may also be a good fit in this deck, helps Grave Horror, allows you to "activate" Zerek, Master Cloner on a Mass Resurrection turn and will "activate" Recurring Villain too.
Again, love the concept, just trying to help.
Really?, they must have changed the interaction then. Gotta test this asap.
OMG you're right, they fixed the interaction, it seems to be have been changed in this latest patch. This changes everything, Thanks a lot man, I think no else else in the hearthstone community knows of this change but you. Will update the deck soon with your recommendations. Thinking of putting in Banana Buffoon but don't know what to take out so for now, I'll wait.
Doesn't anyone read the patch notes? 😁
I like the idea, but I'm kinda worried about cleric and ringer polluting the ress pool
The ress pull won't be polluted by those cards over the course of the game. That is the main reason for Zerek, Master Cloner. All you have to do is slap a spell of him preferably Vivid Nightmare or Power Word: Replicate for more copies. It'll die so many times that it won't matter, don't worry.
and bananas. Better cut ress and add spirit of the death Kappa
good deck i play a similar one in this meta and its very fun
