Hey Guys, 

Any Priest mains might have seen a few of my guides before, I'm a religious Priest player (around 8k wins) and try my best to make the class relevant every expansion with a unique Legend deck.

Apologies that I don't have the stats from this deck, I played nearly all the games on Mobile over the past couple of days! I exclusively played this deck from D5 - > Legend and will play and gather some stats if any naysayers poke their heads in.

Priest is in an ok spot at the moment against most classes, but any Priest main will agree that the Warlock matchup is simply unwinnable because of Tickatus. Tickatus may not be a problem card in the meta (as most classes have an aggro deck that can deal with it), but people are just being blatantly ignorant if they think it's not a problem for Priest.

I was close to giving up on making a viable deck for Priest this expansion, when I noticed a deck by this absolute genius 'BeastPriest', where he adds Elekk into a spell Priest list. I think the deck was more of an anti-Tickatus meme to be honest but I wanted to give it a go to make it viable so I made my own variant.

The result : I've only played against around 4 Warlocks but this deck has yet to lose against one. One Warlock even played Tick, Ysharj, Jaraxus (early), Neeru Fireblade , Envoy Rustwix AND Vectus (which summoned another Envoy). Probably the greediest deck I've played against this season and we STILL won in fatigue burning the Warlock out.

I'd say all matchups are favoured or even (including Pally or Mage, which is what I mostly played against to get to legend), with C'thun Priest possibly being the worst (still possible to win but it does turn into a bit of a memefest as imagined)

Elekk doesn't feel like a total downer against other decks either as you guys will figure out. If you're a Priest main and sick of the auto concedes please give this a go, any questions feel free to ask below.

Just as a disclaimer, I think this deck is really quite difficult to pilot and will take a lot of getting used to, but those are my favourite kind of Priest decks and I'm sure a lot of you guys prefer those too. I think a deck like this will become super relevant once Mage/Pally is nerfed and Warlock play will likely rise.

If this gets some attention and people are struggling I'm happy to write a guide like on my previous decks.

Good luck and I hope you guys enjoy!
