Tired of losing to aggro?
Sick of losing to control?
Bored of losing to OTK?
Maybe this deck is for you.
6 creatures, 23 spells and Galakrond is all you need.
The deck requires skill to be played well, but if you master it can provide a lot of satisfaction against any other deck.
Excellent resistance against aggro thanks to the countless removals, great chance to break the opponent's combos with Illucia and the double Hecklebot and thanks to Cthun and Galakrond not even controls will be able to do much.
Fortune Teller is a great card in this deck and is capable of winning certain matchups by itself, like Van Cleef
My winrate with this deck is 15-5, 13-4 since diamond (and the last game I lost because of my missplay).
This is my decktracker report:
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
I haven't tried Raise Dead yet but it might find a place in the list.
Hi!
I really like this deck but I'm trying to figure out the best mulligans for which matchups and general play. Would you be able to put up even just a small guide? That would help immensely, thank you for the deck!
"Tired of losing to aggro?

Time for a new Game!
But, great deck, having fun
I've played 5 times and lost all games. I played againts oponets with lots of weapons. The deck was able of holding the ground for a few turns but after that just broke. I don't know if I'm playing badly or I don't get the mechanics of the deck propertly but it's frustrating. Could you share a game to see what I'm doing wrong?
Hi, I haven't encountered a lot of decks with a lot of weapons, so I'm not sure I can help you as much as I'd like.
I linked you a few games below but I doubt they are that useful (maybe mulligan?).
If you want you can link me some of your games so I can take a look at them.
Having said that the deck is by the nature of construction very meta dependent, so it pays to be flexible and modify the deck to fit. In my opinion the easiest card to remove is definitely wave of apathy.
If you don't encounter combo decks even Hecklebot [/card]can be removed, although it's not completely terrible against aggro.
I've seen [card]Kobold Stickyfinger played in lists with a similar concept in the past (few servants with Insightin control priest) and the general winrate of the card is back up on HSReplay in the last days. So it could be a great replacement.
I generally try to make HP every turn starting in midgame and try to put presence on the board when I can. If I can I try to punish them with an early Fortune Teller and "me go face" to get them in trouble and close the game right away (some ex. in the games below).

Fun deck. I'm still trying to figure it out but I'm doing okay with it in Silver.
this deck is great fun to play, and feels so good against combo mage and other decks. vs tickatus/c'thun warlock it can be frustrating because it's hard to disrupt all their plays that could and will inevitably ruin our deck. to consistently screw over warlock it feels like a raise dead is needed to copy those hecklebots and that illucia. I'm facing warlock every other matchup atm and can say with certainty that they are lame.
Against Tickatus warlock I hold to mulligan any minion that isn't Illucia. Fortune Teller [/card]isn't the best card in the matchup even though it might surprise a warlock with a bad hand, but I keep it to make it easier to draw the other minions that allow you to break the opposing combo. (illucia I want to play it at 1 mana).
Sometimes I play him at t4 if I have a 5 mana follow up removal in hand.
If you happen to discover [card]Raise dead is a great pick; Silence and Soul Mirror can be useful against the legendary that puts the primes in the deck if they play it.
If the opponent plays Cthun it can be an idea to keep a Hecklebot in hand to play it only once his Cthun is in the deck. (the strategy is counterable by the opponent if he is good and knows the deck) You don't need to use your cthun to win so you can play Illucia even with cthun spells in hand (even if it has some drawbacks).
If you have a good hand at mulligan (and don't encounter zoo) you can also keep Galakrond to ensure you have the value you need to win.
Certainly also keep Insight, Thoughtsteal, and Palm Reading, which are generally the best spell to have at mulligan.
Have fun!
* to keep at mulligan
Illucia isn't even good vs Tickatus... In fact, it's generally quite bad. By the time you can play it + their Tickatus (turn 9), they've already corrupted it, or played it. If you play their corrupted Tickatus, you're still milling your own deck.
Yes, clearly playing Illucia at t9 there is a strong chance of milling 5 cards.
That's why I want to play it at 1 mana at t7.
The point is that even if you play their corrupted tickatus they can't play it a second time. With 5 less cards in the deck you can win, with 10 less cards it is much more difficult.
There is not a single Priest Deck atm wich can deal with Corrupt Warlock.
It doesnt matter if you play Illucia or The Nameless One vs Prime Dude. And it doestn matter if its @ Silver, DIamond or Legend. Warlock Control > Priest.
You can build your Deck as much control as possible and you will still loose to Warlock.
Blizzard desicdes to give Warlock a 5 Mana Wincondition, wich is everything Priest ever needed.
MPAMPAS and FourmiRouge was zoo, the others are control lock.
Is that not 3 losses in a row or am I missing something?
The shortest game is at the top, the longest game at the bottom, all to the right are the turn numbers.
In any case, in the meantime I have lost two games in a row ;)
So you lost 3 in a row
No, as I just said the games are not in chronological order, they are sorted by the increasing number of rounds/turns. Just look at the numbers to the right or the rank at which the game was played. I lost three games between turn 15 and 16, but they were not played in a row.
I apologize for my broken English, but why do you ask if you don't listen?
Found the leftist! (again)
cool deck, although im losing a lot to secrets
Yesterday I had some problem too against secret Hunter, is certainly the most difficult among hunters.
Maybe you can cut Wave of apathy for a Forbidden Words if you meet a lot of them, but I don't know if is enough.
Great deck, so fun to play :)
