Hi guys, thank you for your curiosity and interest to check this deck! I gotta share that this deck list popped up in my head out of nowhere while doing nothing. Definitely the 2/5 minion with charge was the eureka moment. I just have a feeling that this deck might prove to be good, or at least viable to be classified as tier 3 at best but still has that fun element for those who enjoy OTK decktype.
Disclaimer: This deck list is still under experimentation and prone for further revisions in the future. Keep checking up the priest deck section for updates! If you had tried this list for a few matches and observed potential improvements, please do share your thoughts below so we can improve this deck list together.
Here's what I've learned so far:
The Combo
Scenario 1
Discount your hand twice with Fate Weaver for this combo
Stormwind Knight + Power Infusion x2 + Power Word: Shield x2 + Inner Fire + Psyche Split
Maximum potential damage: 36 dmg (+5 with equipped weapon from Galakrond)
Scenario 2*
*Discount your hand at least three times with Fate Weaver and Dragon Breeder combo
Stormwind Knight + Power Infusion x2 + Inner Fire + 2x Faceless Manipulator
Maximum potential damage: 51 dmg (+5 with equipped weapon from Galakrond)
Scenario 3
Discount your hand twice with Fate Weaver for this combo
Shadow Madness + Power Infusion x2 + Inner Fire + Psyche Split or Faceless Manipulator
Maximum potential damage: at least 26 dmg (+5 with equipped weapon from Galakrond)
Otherwise, the alternative winning condition is by utilizing the 2x Power Infusion + Inner Fire combo on your board. With the cards generated from invokes, there should be some decent board pressure you could give at times.
Notes
The scenarios mentioned above may not occur every time due to not all pieces may have been gathered. It is more important to focus on winning than assembling the pieces (unless you're dedicated to witness the perfect combo. I can totally relate, though. It was glorious). Fate Weaver can be used if at least Stormwind Knight, Faceless Manipulator OR Psyche Split, and Power Infusion are already in hand. Always calculate the burst damage given your hand condition and please don't overcommit for the full combo. It may cost you the match. Good luck!
Let me know for suggestions in the comments below :)
Revisions
First Revision - 16/06/2020 (v1.1):
-2 Power Word: Shield since it usually sits idle in hand, reducing hand size
-2 Psychopomp too slow
+2 Cleric of Scales important to draw the combo pieces
+2 Novice Engineer faster card draw
Second Revision - 17/06/2020 (v1.2):
-2 Cleric of Scales overcommit for the combo pieces leads to a very weak board
-2 Renew turns out to be a very slow play and the RNG statistically did not give much power for survival
-2 Holy Nova its mana cost at 4 leads to a very passive gameplay without much initiative on the board
+2 Disciple of Galakrond accelerate invoke count to trigger Fate Weaver
+2 Dragon Breeder to get another Fate Weaver for a maximum discount of 4 mana
+2 Faceless Manipulator versatile minion. Works as another Psyche Split or copy opponent's minion depending on the situation
Third revision - 22/06/2020 (v1.3):
-1 Dragon Breeder too often becomes an idle card in hand and filling hand space.
-1 Aeon Reaver expensive removal. One is enough.
+1 Kronx Dragonhoof synergy with Galakrond
+1 Shadow Madness Additional win condition or board control. Inspired from MarkMcKz's Shadow Madness OTK Priest deck
Great idea might give this a try!
There is so much pressure in the meta, that OTK decks don't have time to set up things.
This deck especially needs too much set up to be even somewhat viable.
Below cards are also dead cards when not in meeting the criteria.
- Dragon Breeder while not having Fate Weaver
- Fate Weaver while not having invoked twice
So you need to have the 5 card combo + discount cards in hand before doing the otk next turn.
Aside that, you need to answer your opponents turns.
That's just too much to ask.
I agree. More often the deck will face hard-to-answer board pressure, especially from aggro and tempo. I don't deny that the RNG and top-decking play a big part to ensure survival. However, also remember not to overcommit with the full combo since it takes a lot of turn to pull it off. I have only been able to pull the full combo when my opponent is having a slow game (priest is a favorable match). Always look out for alternative winning condition, especially knowing the Power Infusion, Faceless Manipulator, and Psyche Split could pressure your opponent quite hard without the OTK combo. Of course, this is given the dire situation when facing aggro and tempo. Overcommit for the combo could lead to many losses.
Oh sh*t here we go again.
