Total Deck Rating

A deck for those who have Activate the Obelisk but none of the most expensive Priest cards (e.g. High Priest Amet or Psychopomp).
Strategy
You want to mulligan for your card draws, unless you have something like Circle of Healing and Injured Tol'vir.
Turns 1-5: draw as quickly as possible - you could win the game then by going full combo, but it's very unlikely.
Turns 5-8: Complete the quest. This should not be too difficult if you have many cards in hand.
Once the quest is complete you can usually close the game easily. Just make sure you don't overstretch yourself too much on the board. There are only 16 minions in your deck, hence you always want to keep at least one in your hand in case your board gets cleared.
Possible card replacements
If you don't like Test Subject, you can replace both copies with: 1x Beaming Sidekick and 1x Acolyte of Pain
If you have Zilliax, it might be worth adding him too (remove Hench-Clan Shadequill)

Posted Sep 12, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)It plays very much like a combo priest until you complete the quest.

Let me know how it goes if you try it.

Posted Sep 12, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)Interesting, thanks for adding the replacements for some cards, I have Zilliax and I don't like Test Subject much. Do you think Lightwarden could be worth it?

Posted Sep 12, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)If you are adding Lightwarden then you pretty much have a Combo Priest build - only without High Priest Amet and Psychopomp. Not sure it will work very well.
Worth testing as it might give you more options to finish off your opponent. But the problem with Lightwarden is that they tend to die very quickly - no-one wants to leave this minion on the board for too long.

Posted Sep 12, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)I see... however, if healing is a main objective, I can see why it could work. Or you could Extra Arms and add health to it as well. How would Test Subject work with your deck? What's the idea, to buff it as much as possible I guess?

Posted Sep 13, 2019 (Saviors of Uldum)Test Subject is a bit of a meme - that's why I suggested replacements.
Test Subject does not work very well if you don't have buffs in your hand (before you complete the quest). You don't want to drop it on the board if you can't buff it straight away.
But it can be great as a turn 2 play with Power Word: Shield. Followed by Extra Arms the next turn and your opponent has to remove it. If it does not get silenced (not many decks include them atm) you get all your spells back (Power Word: Shield and Extra Arms) while your opponent had to use loads of resources to remove your buffed up Test Subject.
