Hello Friend!

Welcome to the Introduction of the Egg Priest.
An eggsctreme and eggsciting eggsperiment about egg's.

 

 

 

First of all: What is this Deck Type about?

Its about Eggs 'n Combos. A lot of both.

The Goal is to create an insane amount of value at any given Point of the Game, starting around early-mid Game. While the game goes on you forge a consistent board that can hold AOE and even if its getting wiped the 'rattles will continue to refill and buff the board.
(As this is just a Deck-Type there is much room to play around to pilote whatever direction; if tempo, aggro, combo or late. My Decklist is more mid-game with late game potential. For more Information look at the Subs)

 

Lets go!
Your best friends are Nerubian Egg, Serpent Egg and Devilsaur Egg. They open potential to play around with a big variety of cards.

Usualy you have a Egg on your Hand or will draw one 2-3 Turns later according to the amount of Eggs.
You want to combine them asap with cards such as Mirage Caller, Wretched Reclaimer and Shadowy Figure.
These Combos will give you already usable bodys to trade and pressure with.

Second Choice to combine the Egg's would be cards such as Sunfury Protector, Grandmummy and very last choice if you struggle to find cards is Spawn of N'Zoth. But you should really save Spawn of N'Zoth for later as you wouldnt imagine how well this card can synergize with the Deck.

 

 

Cards; in depth Explanation

Sunfury Protector
The Reason to play Sunfury Protector is mainly because of Aggro Decks. There would be better Cards for the Eggs but right now i think its a lifesaver against Murloc-Sham or Spamadin, which both flood the meta.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grandmummy
Grandmummy seems small but does alot. Its able to make two Eggs usuable by buffing them AND most important of all; it counts as two for your Quest. In addition with Twilight's Call you can finish your Quest in lightspeed, while buffing eggs here and there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brann Bronzebeard
Easily one of the very best cards ever printed, getting stronger with each expansion. On first glance it looks like he would do very little but because quickly overlooked cards such as Mirage Caller, Wretched Reclaimer, Barista Lynchen, Zola the Gorgon and Da Undatakah he does a great job to create an insane amount of Value.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barista Lynchen and Zola the Gorgon
Still underrated cards i always loved to play will probably see much more play right now with the new Reno-Cards all around. In this Deck its mainly somewhat like Draw Engines and they can Copy Amara, Warden of Hope. At this Point of the game you have probably won.
You can copy Carnivorous Cube, Sunfury Protector for Taunts and combo stuff for the egg's. They getting realy important on late game where you want to use them (in best case) with Brann Bronzebeard to create Amara's.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sylvanas Windrunner
Still unique in what she does as a minion, this minion is worth gold against control decks with big minions such a big priest. You can duplicate here, cube her, copy her, revive here - what ever you need. Keep it on hand as long as you can especialy against big priest as this can carry the game on its own.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carnivorous Cube
Even if the combos and mechanics of the Cube in this deck is obvibious i wanted to name this card to explain that its many times not the best case to copy eggs; at least if your board is big enough. It happens quickly that your board could get filled with 0/2 and 0/3 bodys which would require alot of cards to get useful <- This is the reason aswell why N'zoth, he Corruptor isnt included. (Instead its Da Undatakah)

So keep in mind that it can make more sense to copy the triggered eggs; the 5/5's, Amara AND Spawn of N'Zoth.
Once your Carnivorous Cube + Spawn of N'zoth Train is rolling its getting hillarious.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Notes:
- Keep Shadowy Figure if you have other Options for the Eggs as Shadowy Figure is perfect to play with Da Undatakah on Turn 10 or also works with Carnivorous Cube and Sylvannas Windrunner.

 

Weakpoints:
You dont have any offensive Spells. What you have on Board is what you have to control the board. Keep that in mind. Its important to generate board presence as soon as possible. You kinda snowball at this Point.

 

 

Subs:

General Subs

These cards are playable no matter what and totaly to personal taste: Defender of Argus, Embalming Ritual, Shadow Visions, Northshire Cleric, Tortollan Shellraiser

You can sub many Legendarys to reduce the fairly high cost of the shown decklist

 

Crazy Endgame Options:

Spiritsinger Umbra, Baron Rivendare, Cairne Bloodhoof, Sneed's Old Shredder, Mechanical Whelp and similar cards.
^ These all are cards you can play around as you think the meta is getting slower or you are fast engough. They can obviously genertate a sick engame Value but potentialy end up beeing dead card in early when you would need something against Aggro. I realy wanted to make Umbra and Rivendare to work but reality is that they arent consistent enough, such as Sneed's. You can Sneed instead of Undatakah but just for some RNG surprise. Undatakah in this deck is way more consistent as he promises 2x 5/5 (3/4 or 4/4) and a 1/2, +2+2 usualy.
On paper Sneeds would need a very good legendary to pull of.

Seance [/card]is a card you can play to copy [card]Amara, Warden of Hope Brann or Lynchen - or whatever, even enemy Minions can be copied which makes Seance an underplayed card in general.

Emperor Thaurissan is a card that can open a lot of combo potential as it cause many cards to be played together in one turn such as Da Undatakah and Wretched Reclaimer and or Brann Bronzebeard. He can also be copied by Mirage Caller which would be -2 Mana on every Hand card. Thats a good deal, but overall to slow to compete with the meta.

 

Rushy Options

There is much room for more cards such as Extra Arms , Runic Egg [/card] or [card]Unidentified Elixir , Haunted Creeper, Scarab Egg , Fungalmancer and so on. With these cards i recommend to a more rushy deck-type.

 

Last but not least: This is a deck you need to play to see the potential as it may look small. But especialy overlooked cards like Spawn of N'Zoth can go crazy with the right support.

 

 

Have fun!
