Once again, early meta has been taken up by the tried and true Reno Priest, who not only were top of the game last xpac, but had some new tools come their way.

This list is my new version of one of my favorite decks, who with Cloak of Shadows and Swindle have the staying power and draw to edge a positive win-rate against the priest overlords. The extra draw also allows us to put in more cheap anti-aggro tools without fearing brick hands.

Against Warrior, other Rogue, Druid, Shaman, Paladin, and DH mulligan for ant-aggro tools. Against Priest, Mage and Warlock, look for draw and combo enablers. Chaining Doomsayers with your Depth Charge is extra powerful, and when possible play doomsayer first, Depth Charge is really only good in empty boards. Be smart when playing Vanish, using it after playing a Coldlight for the free Shadowstep is extra strong.

Flex Spots are Depth Charge, Eviscerate, Dirty Tricks, and Brain Freeze

Cards to consider are a second Depth Charge, a second Eviscerate, a second Dirty Tricks, Cheat Death, Daring Escape, and Tengu of the Red Mists. For full on Priest Hate, drop Doomsayer and Depth Charge for another DIrty Tricks, and 2 Daring Escapes so Swindle gives a guaranteed combo piece.

+1 Gang Up

This is for further minion draw consistency with Swindle. You still want one Lab Recruiter to be able to go infinite.
