My optimized version! If you find this deck helpful, please don't forget to upvote and comment so more people will see it!
This deck mainly consists of powerful minions and card-generating minions. It only contains 4 spells. The mana curve is extremely smooth. If mulligan is done properly, few manas should be wasted. Unlike traditional Raza Priest, my deck has no "combo pieces". We keep dropping minions on curve before and after we upgrade hero power, since we almost never run out of cards to play. Once hero power is upgraded, simply overwhelm the opponent with board and face pressure.
Card Choices
Why Recruiter>Spawn of Shadows?
Typically Spawn of Shadows allows priest to deal 26 dmg if 3 other cards can be played with 6 mana. Recruiter can solo 14 dmg which can be freely distributed among enemies. Spawn of Shadows requires a very healthy HP. Recruiter has no requirement at all. Recruiter generates 15 board attack and usually clears the opponent's board, putting huge pressure on the opponent. So the only advantage of Spawn of Shadows is its higher lethal range, which is not a big deal considering Mage's Ice Block and Druid's armor.
Basically 3 mana 3/5 stealth with soft taunt, since it returns at least 1 mana to us later. This card helps us mana jump. For example, play it on turn 6 so we can play Shadowreaper Anduin on turn 7. Another important example is against Darkest Hour Warlock (one of the strongest decks in wild). If opponent Warlock goes first, plays perfect combo on turn 5 and pulls 1 Nerubian Unraveler, normally nothing can beat that. However, if we played Manasaber on turn 4 and get 6 mana on turn 5, we would be able to play Shadow Word: Ruin and win the game.
Why
This deck is not very good, sadly. It's far too reliant on getting Raza to really gain much traction. The moment your opponent gains any sort of advantage it's very difficult to gain it back until you get Raza, and even then good luck cuz you have limited removal.
What is your main win condition. Seems like you dont have enough burn
NO luck for me with this deck. Switched from dragon Version to this and went down from Rank 2 to 5 with no win :(
You can add me if you are on US server. Maybe I could help you by spectating.
okay, what is your tag? I am BigDaddy#13238
nvm, I need to wait until after my 90 packs open. I have no dust, and I need 4 cards
Unfortunatly I'm on Europe
hey there. Interesting deck, but i dont uanderstand the use of Vulpera Scoundrel, Arent there better card genserator like banana buffoon or infested goblin. I guess versatilelety? is it that important?
thank you for the advice i will give it a shot seems very promising :)
getting killed by aggro
Would you ever put in Grand Lackey Erkh and Whispers of EVIL for some hero power shenanigans?
Also, do you just hard mulligan for raza or try to go with the curve?
Recruiter gets the job done alone. Only hard mulligan for Raza against druid. Otherwise mulligan for curve.
How important do you find Madame Lazul? is it for stealing quest from quest mage or just for pure value?
Madame Lazul is for the card value and strategic information. We can estimate enemy lethal range, removal ability, etc. She also helps us plan ahead what cards we want to copy with Murozond the Infinite. She can be replaced by Stonehill Defender or Kabal Courier.
I usually kill Reno quest mage before they complete the quest. I beat cyclone quest mage by having full board control when they complete the quest.
isn't it Chameleos serve the same resaon? without having a self body on the board and the discover thingy?
whats the point of Manasaber in this deck?
Answered in Card Choices.
What is the Recruiter for? Anduin combo? if so, does it work better than Spawn of Shadows
