Hey, HellsF1rst here, I am doing a contest on my stream to give away 50 card packs once I hit 50 Subscribers!!! To enter just subscribe and follow on my stream!!! I will be playing this deck tonight at 9:30pm (MST) live and will be climbing to legend! Come hang out and ask any questions you mat have about how to play it.
This is my rendition of a Raza the Chained priest. Most of these decks use Spawn of Shadows but in my opinion you cannot beat the super armor heavy druids or warriors with it. You also have to rely on having more health then the opponent with this which isn't always the easiest thing to do. With Prophet Velen you can do more damage earlier in the game or take down the biggest pools of armor with the ability to copy him and bring him back from the dead. I pushed for Legend at the end of the month with 3 and a half hours. I made it to Diamond 2 with all 3 stars and ran out of time. This deck eats the meta alive!! Try it out for yourself.
Proof of 70% WR
10 Upvotes and I will write a guide.
As promised here is a guide on this deck.
Raise Dead - This card is used for many reasons in the deck. Get a second Reno or Zephrys or even a second Velen. So many uses for it when played properly. It can also be used to refresh your hero power when you've played Anduin to do more damage to possibly win the game.
Northshire Cleric - Some board presence and card draw potenital.
Potion of Madness - A quick way to get rid of a small minion or use it to finish off that little health the opponent has left late game.
Renew - A chance to get a spell to help for the turn or even more healing when needed. Great little card that always has a use when played.
Mind Blast - With the full Velen combo you can do 20 damage with this card. It is definitely a win condition card that murders fast.
Penance - Some removal and healing wrapped into one card. Great to help get you to late game against some annoying aggro decks.
Seance - This card not only copies the minion on your side of the board but allows you to steal a minion they have on the board as well. Swings games tempo almost immediately.
Shadow Visions - Find a spell on the spot to help in any situation. It is making a copy of it so you do not waste the real spell.
Shadow Word: Death - Staple card in priest.
Shadow Word: Pain - Another staple card in priest.
Spirit Lash - A quick way to ruin a pirate warriors day as well as heal you for big amounts. Especially when played with Thalnos.
Breath of the Infinite - More board clear to help get to late game.
Gift of Luminance - This is part of the game winning combo. Cast this on Velen to get 2 of them on the board and your spells and hero power now do 4x the amount of damage. IE Mind blast for 20 damage.
Mindrender Illucia - Quest mage, Mecathun Warlock, Raza Priest, Aviana Druid, This card completely wrecks their gameplan if you play it and use a card they really wanted to play next turn to get an OTK. I have used this to steal Time Warp and Kings Bane so many times and it is the greatest thing to see them quit immediately!
Mass Dispel - Card draw and an enemy board silence. Just key card to wreck certain decks.
Shadow Word: Ruin - This card is a Warlock and Embiggen druids worst nightmare. just slaughters the board!
Mass Hysteria - Make all minions wreck eachothers faces. Great mid game board clear.
Raza the Chained - Key part of the combo. Make your hero power cost 0 all game. This allows Anduin to do his thing.
Prophet Velen - My favorite card the priest has. So many uses but in this deck its making your hero power stronger and using Gift and Mindblast to murder face. You can do 42 damage with the full combo.
Psychic Scream - Return all minions to your opponents hand is broken! Just ruin their plans with this everytime.
Shadowreaper Anduin - Destory all minions with 5 attack or more and set you up for the combo with your hero power to extinguish life of the enemy.
Bloodmage Thalnos - Big Thalnos providing card draw and extra damage with the AOE spells in this deck.
Loot Hoarder - Card draw. Thats all this is for.
Novice Engineer - See card above. Same thing here.
Zephrys the Great - The ultimate highlander. Sometimes hes dumb as F**k but he gets the job done. 60% of the time he works every time.
Gluttonous Ooze - Just destroy weapons for fun and armor.
Kazakus - Create them spells to help decimate.
Lorekeeper Polkelt - This addition from the new expansion is golden! He lets you set the combo up so effortlessly its amazing. Just reorder the deck from highest cost to lowest and all the cards you will be getting you will be happy to see.
Emperor Thaurissan - Another part of the OTK combo. I will explain more down below.
Reno Jackson - RENOOOOOOOOO (ricola song ending song) is just a basic badass mofo. Heal for full life!? I'll take it.
Mulligans: low cost cards and Reno Jackson. You want to be able to survive the game to endgame to just control the tempo of the entire game.
The OTK Combo:
Turn 1: Emperor Thaurissan with Prophet Velen in hand along with either a Mind Blast or Gift of Luminance.
Turn 2: Shadowreaper Anduin hero power for 2 then Prophet Velen then ,Shadowreaper Anduin hero power for 4 then Gift of Luminance on Prophet Velen , Shadowreaper Anduin hero power for 8 then Mind Blast for 20, Shadowreaper Anduin hero power for 8. Thats a total of 42 damage in one turn!! If you have Raise Dead in your hand you can do an additonal 8 damage to get a 50 damage OTK!!! \
You do not have to wait for the Combo above to win. You can simply slowly destory your opponent with hits here and there to finish them off easliy.
Nope, not working well enough for me
I guess it's a matter of tastes but I rather to play more value oriented versions with Nexus, Confessor, Elise and value generation cards. At least games don't feel the same each time and for me it's a funnier experience. This combo versions feel so boring after a while.
This version with Velen just seems to win without the combo more often that not. It is also just a relaxed ladder climbing deck. Most games you don’t even feel pressured which I can see makes it a little boring. The main point tho is it does win more than it loses and thats what I was going for. Drop a deck code here for your version tho I’d love to try it on my stream.
I thought Reno was a wild card, this can be played in ranked? Trying to get the dust to create this deck will take me forever LOL...like the vid and the deck
Ranked doesn't mean Standard. You can play both ladders.
zzzzzzzzz
This is literally the only priest deck played in wild. Getting pretty boring sitting through these 20 minutes games.
That said, kudos to the deck creator, when everyone is playing your deck it means you beat the game I think.
Yeah lol I’m making a recruit warrior right now to dominate it. Thanks for the kudos man.
You have not much sustainability against Secret Mage (and your stats show only one match against Mage, which is a loss, even it I'm not sure if it was secret but it's definitely a weakness).
Yeah secret mage still sucks to play against. I beat every one i played and Above D5 last season I barely ran into any of them tho. They didn’t get any love from this expansion and then only people still playing them must not like having fun because it’s the most boring deck to play lol what would you suggest against them tho? I’m open to possible changes to make it better. The loss was to a time warp mage. Didn’t get Mindrender fast enough. 12% of those games were against mage tho if you look at the pie chart. You can only see 17 games on the list.
Thanks for your answer(s).
I actually removed Gift of Luminance because it feels like a win-more card. I’m now D5 and from the start of the month I’ve faced one heavy-armor warrior but I still won without luminance. So I actually added an Eater of secrets (I fucking hate that fucking deck) but only faced one Secret Mage since I added it...
So I don’t have a good answer, maybe another drawing card but the deck is solid as it is :)
What about Stickyfinger instead of Ooze? I haven't faces a Kingsbane this month but you never know...
I was actually thinking about that. I kept ooze just for more hero power use with Anduin but sticky fingers makes kingsbane quit immediately lol
please guide how to use lucia and velen
I just posted a video with a quick guide. I will be writing a guide later today when I have a little time.
Guide is written my friend
also can add Auchenai Phantasm and Flash Heal for another win condition
I like that idea!
Nice deck, however this freak Raza the Chained needs to be nerfed again... broken as hell, dominatig wild
the problem is not Raza the Chained
Platebreaker
Velen is good, played with it some time ago but usually it is bit too expensive unless you pull him off with help of Jepetto Joybuzz
