Very strong against the current aggro meta. The worst matchup is probably Tickatus warlock, but not unwinnable (mulligan heavily for Galakrond/ Kronx for that matchup).
Shadow Word: Death, Shadow Word: Ruin, Blood of G'huun, Kronx Dragonhoof are flex spots.
Update 1: Switched Shadow Word: Death for Gift of Luminance. With all the discount cards, it is easily possible to play the card with Catrina Muerte or Blood of G'huun in the same turn. Plus, if there is already a card on board, Grave Rune and Gift of Luminance combo is nutty.
Update 2: Switched out Kronx Dragonhoof for Hecklebot (Credit: Shao23). Great against control and combo decks, and solid against aggro.
Potential substitutes: Psychopomp, Idol of Y'Shaarj, Raise Dead, and Sandhoof Waterbearer. Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate is also good for fun games.
Mulligan Guide:
Keep Palm Reading and Insight for all matchups, this card combo is very strong. Archmage Vargoth is also generally good to keep too. Below is matchup specific cards to keep for each class, ranked roughly in order of importance:
- Demon hunter (Great): Breath of the Infinite, Holy Nova, Penance, Renew, Hecklebot
- Paladin (Great): Convincing Infiltrator, Penance, Breath of the Infinite
- Hunter (Even): Penance, Breath of the Infinite, Renew, Convincing Infiltrator
- Shaman (Good): Penance, Convincing Infiltrator, Breath of the Infinite, Holy Nova, Soul Mirror
- Mage (Even/Good): Penance, Breath of the Infinite, Renew, Convincing Infiltrator
- Warrior (Unlosable): Hecklebot, Galakrond, the Unspeakable, Plague of Death
- Druid (Good): Convincing Infiltrator, Shadow Word: Ruin, Soul Mirror, Plague of Death
- Priest (Good): Galakrond, the Unspeakable
- Rogue (Good): Breath of the Infinite, Holy Nova, Penance, Renew, Convincing Infiltrator
- Warlock (Even, assuming Tickatus): Galakrond, the Unspeakable, Hecklebot, Convincing Infiltrator
Big tip against ETC warrior: If you didn't pull their combo with Hecklebot and you think they might have the full combo in hand, just make sure to never play minions with health total above 7 (lower is better). Their combo requires at least 7 health of minions on board to do the OTK. Just keep passing turns until they die to fatigue, and if they commit you can just clear with Plague of Death. It can also be good to not play Galakrond, the Unspeakable in this case, since the heal hero power would be more useful here.
I hate playing against to this deck
10/10 Very fun deck. Potential combos are amazing! Still trying it out in ranked. so far 100% WR. Thank you for this!
It is a great deck, thanks mate.
I did already play a lot of res priest in the past and this version is really good.
Btw I reached Legend today with absolute ease and I even went on 13-0 streak today with this deck.
However, I did substitute Hecklebot with Bonewraith because other than against Demonhunter OTK I am not concerned about the Warrior's combo pieces. But other than that imo it is a dead card that can even backfire in some match-ups.
Thanks again :)
got legend in two days with this list, easy vs face dhs
Thanks for posting this deck. I took a solid 2 expansion break from standard and when i seen this i said i must give it a go. Super fun. Can beat any deck. Struggles against OTK but not unwinnable.
Currently at diamond 4 EU. Can see it reaching legend easily if i continue to meet aggro decks.
Thanks again.
"Legend Control"
when i read somethin like this, i just have to smile. You know, i can play literally any deck @ Diamond 1 to reach "Legend" hoping for a streak, so basically you can call any deck out there a "Legend Deck"
I reach Legend every season cause its easy as fuck, BUT this Deck is NOT a legend deck, its sucks pretty hard vs nearly everything and Priest is hotdog water atm.
there is no streak after diamond 5, edgy
when i speak of streak, i mean that its possible to reach legend with any deck if i have enough luck and win several games in a row because there is no further way to legend. Each Deck is able to have a positive winrate in a short period of time. But to say this is a "Legend" Deck to clickbait ist just a joke
This Deck sucks dude, its not your fault, its just because this decktype atm is completely a joke like priest in general.
I play Priest since Beta i have 2K wins with priest and a full golden Priest collection. All you need to win with this deck is just luck, luck and luck with your carddraw.
You can downvote me as fuck guys i dont care, thats the truth
Priest is really funny to play because each match has different mechanics, unlike all those boring aggro decks which in my opinion are impoverishing the game, but I agree with you. It's not a deck capable of reaching legendary level. Perhaps it was the first few days.
bullshit deck
If you’re asking me... I play a Highlander Priest that’s pretty fun. I would share directly but I honestly don’t know how. It’s not exactly the same as the HL decks on here but pretty similar. I also play an aggro-ish deck with several low attack/ high health minions and lots of buff spells. It’s a face hunter’s worst nightmare... you can literally feel their excitement dwindling by turn 3.
Update there, i might just try and take out Psychopomp that i added instead of Shadow Word: Death and use Gift of Luminance seems a fair trade, not trusting much on the robot tho
Hecklebot is realy good if you run into alot of Combo Decks in higher Rank but beside that you are better off playing other Cards.
Psychopomp has the Problem that it is a 3/1 Body who might get revived insted of a big guy, but again it can be clutch early on when you realy need more of the 4 or 5 cost taunts on the board asap.
I think the deck has a few cards who can be changed depending on the meta in your rank.
Yeah i know that, was diamond 5 last month but still plat this month, gonna play a bit more and see what fits me better, anyway thanks for your help :)
Deck absolutely garbage at Diamond 5 and below. Beats nothing, way to slow, 90% of the time you draw to much late game, can't control the board at all. This is a troll deck, total crap, doesn't work in the current aggro meta.
you sound very mean but i agree, too slow
It's Rez Priest, it is meant to be a very slow, control centered deck where you stall until the late game and take control with Mass Resurrection
someone doesnt know how to control aggro/face decks, this deck is pretty cool, you just gotta push for a good mulligan and have luck
Nah... it’s a good deck but I have a feeling he’s garbage at playing it. It’s a deck that everyone hates but I don’t understand why, I don’t like playing against it anymore than some other decks. I can’t disagree that it doesn’t take a ton of skill but neither does any aggro deck... that’s the direction HS is going so I’m still trying to reconcile that. I’m a Priest player but I prefer my HL deck.
I dont like to play aggro decks and i think alot of mid game decks are the most fun overall.
But playing Priest and watching aggro decks struggle and die a slow death has a special place in my hearth so i realy enjoy these kind of decks.
Whats the other Deck you are talking about?
