81% winrate in 32 games (26 wins) with an old variant of this, but it started to run into problems when the miniset was released as the meta started to change pretty quickly. This deck allows for better card draw than the last, and more of a consistent feel when coming up against even counter decks.

OTK warlock in standard?
Really?

That ain't no OTK. Still, this deck seems to be equipped against that. It has 2xShadow Word Ruin to mess up with giants, 1xHysteria, and the Wave of Apathy board clear combo. And of course, Xyrella and Samuro.
Don't get me wrong, this deck has quite some problems... but I think warlock is not that problem.
Very weak against new 6 turn OTK Warlock...
Well against any OTK 6 turn deck, anything is going to have problems... I highly doubt the consistency of losing on turn 6 but even if that is the case there should be ways to adapt if you analyse the decks setup and try to work out how to beat it.
I thinks this deck has a lot of potential, just needs very minor fixes, plus people that say this deck is slow clearly don’t know how to use priest
ppl who say its not slow clearly don`t know how to play priest.doh.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I agree it could use changes with the constant meta changes after a new mini deck is released, I personally havent made any changes though as I think it works very well against the current meta. This might change though in the future. Cards I would look to take out if I wanted to make changes would be Wandmaker as its potentially unnecessary, archdruid naralex as I still cant decide if its value outways how slow it is. And devout dungeoneer because the deck has 5 shadow spells in it which kinda makes the value go down alow when drawing, but in my opinion its still a good card to have in the deck for now as it puts a strong body on the board for 3 mana, while also drawing you a card which has the potential to be reduced in cost.
Priest has always been a reactive class so I guess saying its slow is fair, although with early draws like sethekk, there are options to have some strong early plays. also cards like palm reading and venomous scorpid seem to consistenly fill your hand with low cost spells and a dangerous minion on the board early, this pressure can really influence a game.
Can Headmaster Kelthuzad be subbed out? I dont have him and I really don't feel like hes worth the dust
think he`s a big part of the deck together with ruin.
the problem is to stay alive until u can make that combo.
Realistically yes, you can sub him out, but its a hugely powerful card especially in this deck, if you know what your doing with it, you can bring agro decks to a halt with them desperatly using important cards to kill it even if you dont have a combo in hand. And it can entirely change the momentum of a game if pulled off correctly.
Unless up against a very agro deck and you draw poor removal, you shouldn't have too much trouble out surviving many of the current agro decks, thats why this deck is in my opinion so strong. Alot of small units to put on the board that also generate you cards (more value) and alot of removal that suits the current meta hitpoints. Also the kethuzad combo can be done with all sorts, if you have spells in your hand throughout the game being lowered in cost by palm reader (happens way more often than you think) you can end up with 2 mana ruins, and 3 mana against all odds, not to mention if you combo against all odds with wave of apathy its a complete board clear and will give you their entire board. Also if you have soul mirror when the enemy demon hunter has a ace hunter kreen, you kill their entire board and keep their entire board on your side. ITS INSANE, its happened to me twice now but I confess its a rare occurance.
