This deck is an extremely aggresive deck which got me to legend with an 77% win rate.
Proof:
Win conditions:
The usual win condition is to just put high statted minions on the board and overwhelm the opponent. A lot of games are decided already on turn 3 if you have a taunt and the Dragonmaw Overseer out and the opponent can not remove it.
Do not be afraid to spend cards extremely liberally as you usually generate enough value with Sethekk Veilweaver and Voracious Reader.
Most important is to try as much as possible to stick minions on the board and play around typical removal.
Matchups:
Druid: 9-3
Usually beats ramp druids as you are just too fast for them. Mulligain aggresively for 1 drops and buffs. Sometimes Mindrender Illucia on 2 is a good play if you suspect that the druid has 0 mana spells you can waste.
Demon Hunter, Paladin, Rogue: 10-4
Pure tempo matchups. A good play can be a taunt plus Gift of Luminance as this is usually very hard to go through.
Warlock: 3-0
Should be a very easy matchup.
Other classes were not well represented enough but I suspect that the worst matchup will be Mage as this deck is very volnurable to freezes and has no answers to doomsayers.
Legendaries:
I think Mindflayer Kaahrj and Mindrender Illucia are vital for the deck. Mindflayer Kaahrj on 3 just wins the ealy game and Mindrender Illucia is an extremely good card vs all matchups. Because you have so many buffs in you deck, it can easily happen that you play Mindrender Illucia and the opponent can not play any card as he does not have minions.
The other 2 legendaries are not as essential but they boost the win rate. I would replace it with other tempo minions if you do not have those.
I wonder how a Quest version of the deck would do. Have you tried that at all?
Do i have any ideas on tweaks,well not really haven't put enough time into this deckAs many realize this deck is decent,has potential but needs a few tweaks.There is only one reload well 2 and that is the reader,if yo udon't get that card you MUST pray your board sticks around.
Players are not dumb soon they see that 1/4 they know something is up,they understand it is a buff deck.Actually any play that is not either galakrond or Dragon is a dead giveaway,this means they will very aggressively search or use answers.Example my Mage opponent used Evo right away for devolving luckily i got both readers o reloaded and won but if not for reader top deck i was done.
On the comment of "priest players",Priest has long been just a control deck or an otk deck,.this is NEITHER,so your experience as a priest player has nothing to do with it,well mildly so.As a control player you will have learned well control lol,meaning patience and resource management.The problem is that once this deck is in trouble yoru are simply guessing,you have no idea what your top deck will be and often i got the buff cards with no minions so then a DEAD turn.If yo ucan fidn the right tweaks then i feel this is a good deck.Perhaps Raise dead one Psychochomp.I removed 1 power shield because last thing i want in dire need of a minion is to to pdeck that spell.My take so far the legnedary and the Velkrekk card are the key to success.
Psychopomp could be a good addition?
Yeah combo priest might be back in standard, that's awesome
Hey guys,
I tried out this deck and made a showcase of it! If you are interested in a gameplay video with commentary you can check it out bellow. I hope you can enjoy it :)
Those who cant make this deck work are just not Priest-players, here are my stats between Gold 10 - Plat 10
Bonus-image, i won a game against warlock just after i took stats-screenshot:
I have 5000 Wins with Priest so i'm very well versed with it which might be why i'm doing well on it so far.
Update:
5000 wins with priest and still Gold? I wouldn't brag about being a priest player....
this deck just dosnt work. very clanky. gets stomped most of the time even by druid unless you get a perfect draw (which you dont)
You're just bad with Priest
yet you are in plat 10 and im in diamond 2... cant call it a good priest player lol
zoo warlock pogchamp
Mulligan guide, please!
1-drop minions and 2 mana buffs then snowball it from there :D
What can I replace mind flayer and mindrender with? i have everything else haha
I ended up crafting them :D but curious what could replace them
So far feels pretty inconsistent around gold, could just be my play style. I either completely overrun my opponent, or I'm stuck with almost no playable cards in hand due to my opponent removing my 3 early minions. Either way cool concept
Got totally clapped my a mage even though I stole his Moorabi with Illucia and left him with an empty hand. I'm disliking your priest deck more and more
Got totally clapped by a Raise dead brittle bone priest. I think that version of priest is better than this
BEST DECK I'VE EVER PLAYED, I'VE NEVER HAD THAT MUCH FUN
OF COURSE WHEN THERES NO MAGE
