Well thirteen days later I almost complete it, I just miss the Mindflayer Kaahrj

.

I'm still learning how to play it, I have a hard time against DHs and their Magtheridon because I always revive their 1/3 Warders instead of my minions. And against the rogue if I don't get some [card]Breath of the Infinite[/card] or Holy Nova in the first turns. The same with shaman, if I can't do it in the first turns those totems already have health 3 or more and they stay at 4 attack then my Shadow Word: Ruin doesn't catch them.

Well, try to mulligan for Kharut, Inflitrator + those AoEs spells. Otherwise, you are on mercy of RNGJesus with card draw...

Thank you.

If I notice that, it is a deck very susceptible to RNG in the draw. I guess most decks are.

I go 4-12, 25%, and every time I learn why I lose.
I think for the most part my opponents on Plat 10 know my deck more than I do.

For example:
Priest, copy my deck with Psychic Conjurer or Thoughtsteal and use the combo against me.
Mage, they summon spell damage minions (Astromancer Solarian, Wand Thief, Firebrand, etc) and wait and attack until I summon an Convincing Infiltrator or Khartut Defender, then they use Devolving Missiles or Polymorph, and when I resurrect, I get only sheeps

I guess this deck worked two weeks ago when everything was warlock and rogue. Now then...

In 16 games I have only used Shadow Word: Ruin once or twice, Galakrond, the Unspeakable once. Most of the time those cards are in my hand doing nothing. Because there are many minions at the table or they all have attack less than 4.

When I use Soul Mirror I know that in the next resurrection I will get ...

 

This is the BEST deck I ever played in this meta, no doubts. Since the release of new ranking system in april I've tried many different decks, including some priest variations. But nothing even came close to this one - this version with slight changes (I'll write about them later) can defeat any other deck currently in the meta. Rogues with their ability to SMOrc your face (they are better than hunters with this) can be bit troubling, but if you survive to turn 5, you're golden. You can outlive kael'thas druids with board full of 10/10+ minions and outtank 6+ bombs vs bomb warriors with that deck, this is crazy :D Bonus points for playing priest - sometimes other players just concede at start xD

Currently I have "only" 56% WR, just because RNG can f***k you with card draw, and I'm still bad (plat1 right now). Yep, this deck is not for players that just started to play HS - requires extensive meta knowledge and 13k dust price is high. But if you can afford it and you are into 20+ min matches... Try it. You wont regret :)

My changes: - Breath, - Kaahrj, + Penance, + Reliquary of Souls

Why? I do not have Kaahrj, also additional healing sometimes (+ direct ST removal) is handy in specific matchups (rogues...) like someone wrote elsewhere here. Plus taunt with lifesteal is super good in lategame, esp. when you copy it a few times :D

I am having reasonably good results at Diamond with a similar deck: I have removed Galakrond, replacing him with the quest and replaced a Shadowy Figure with a Reliquary of Souls

 80+ wr % with this

 

Yep, deck is only for experienced players. I am at 60% win rate with this deck and I did make some changes cause there was a great need of removals for the first 4-5 turns. I took out one Psychopomp and mindflayer for 2 penance. The strength of a Rez Priest is it's res pool. When you mass rez or when catrina muerte summons a psychopomp..well you know the feeling. So one is enough. Soulmirror can be a polluter depending on what's on the board when you use it...bear that in mind. A good mulligan is key to success and that's where what v1ci0us said is true: having a good player experience and meta knowledge. Ex: I like to keep Shadow word ruin or mass dispel against libram paladin..works very well most of the time. Bear in mind that you need to heal frequently to reduce the cost of Flesh giant.

Here is an example of what this deck can do against the top tier deck. Was not a good match but it shows that this deck can come back from a tough situation.: https://hsreplay.net/replay/hZ755BvERkA4Cn5eQP5p65

How can I win against a Hunter who summons three 10/10 from his hand? How?

Priest is only good for high Legendary or Diamond, but not for scrubs like me; if experienced as I am

Deck is cool. But you are such a dickhead, the way you behave and BM.

I like the deck idea. Personally, I don't find it to be even remotely competitive in nature. Great idea though! Keep it up!

I have a 65% WR with this at D-3 after making a few modifications. Like everyone says, this deck has little/no early game and you can fall behind fast. The WR massively improved for me when i tweaked 3 cards:

-1 Mass Dispel, -1 Mindflayer Kaahrj, -1 Breath of the Infinite

+2 Penance +1 Reliquary of Souls

Reasoning: Having penance serves two purposes: Removes early threats or stuff that survives Nova/Breath, and reduces the cost of Flesh Giant by 1. Getting a giant early can make a huge difference, not to mention making the Grave Rune + Shadowy Figure come faster. Also, Reliquary sometimes helps absorb damage to aggro early minions, not to mention each time you attack and heal with it, thats another -1 to the Giant's cost. The prime can come in handy too!

I removed 1 breath because a lot of aggro decks have minions with 3+ hp now, and they survive this. Also, Mindflayer is too unreliable, and messes up the rez pool. And finally, i feel like Mass Dispel competes too much with Shadow Word: Ruin and Plague of Death. If anything, maybe you can keep Mass Dispel and get rid of 1 SW: Ruin.

This deck DOES work. The author even has a video proving it. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you understand what to mulligan, you see more consistent results. Pretty even WR across the board. I only lost whenever my opponents high-rolled me to heaven and back.

 can u share mulligan?

 Honestly, you always want to keep Khartut Defender and Convincing Infiltrator. I often keep Psychopomp too. Rezing either one of these two cards has a huge win rate against aggro. Against rogue/hunter/dh, (almost guaranteed aggro), also aim to keep Penance and Holy Nova. But even then, I'd still keep the two taunts over these cards. If i get a Khartut rez chain going (Through Psychopomp, a turn 8 Psychopomp into Grave Rune, then Mass Rez, etc), its a guaranteed win. Aggro cannot sustain enough damage/card draw to deal with infinite Khartuts, or even Infiltrators.  Against control/tempo or any non aggro, it becomes a value game. The mulligan has way less impact. Mulligan is only important against decks that want to eat your face by turn 6. Otherwise, this deck can outvalue pretty much any non-priest deck. Win rate against pure paladin is pretty consistent.

We've found the #DeletePriest player, who didn't even craft any of the cards and is just here to complain about Priest.

I don't feel this deck is THE deck. I mean you have:

- 0 one mana minions
- 1 two mana minion, which needs other deathrattles to set up, so no early game option.
- 1 three mana minion
- 3 four mana minions of which two you cannot play unless you have a dead minon, which is not likely the case with this few early game minions.

If you don't draw your early removals, you're done.

 can u share mulligan?

it is as easy as any other mulligan, dont keep 4+ mana cards, depending on aggro heros like hunter/demon/rogue/paladin keep clears the rest mulligan for low mana cards

No, you will often keep Khartut or Inflitrator based on the matchup

exactly what v1ci0usss said

i dont haveSoul Mirror, its the only one i dont have and wanna try deck, how important is it, dont wanna craft.....any replacements....thanks

Soul Mirror is a double-edged sword in this deck. it can save your life or outright win u the game, but if used incorrectly, it can f up ur rez pool. More often than not, its your rez pool that nets u a win here. Mass Dispel may be a decent addition (a second one if u already have one)
