Hello!
I'm Sneaker
Here I present to you Quest Priest with which i managed to achieve 78% winrate (28-8) on ranked standar in low legend (climbed with it from 4k to 2.9k legend).
Currently my winrate dropped significantly due to the fact that i started facing more and more OTK decks like OwlLock and Garrote Rogue.
If the deck reaches 50 likes I'll make full guide with matchups and mulligan
It seems like I've reached my goal for 50 likes (which i did not expect at all) so here comes the brief matchups and mulligan guide
Paladins: The best possible matchup so far. Focus on completing quest and dealing with his board. Try to find some silence cards form discoveries, always try to get maximum clear value from Xyrella. Hysteria is the best removal here, always keep it in mulligan. The Nameless One is really good, expecially after the play Lady Liadrin. U can even try to snipe her with Shadow Hunter Vol'jin or Mutanus the Devourer which can be really helpful.
Celestial Druid: Kind of hard matchup. If they play Celestial Alignment we can not finish our quest, so the best way for winnin is to keep Palm Reading until they play Celestial Alignment and try to find with discoveries mass removal like Shadow Word: Ruin or another copies of Soul Mirror. it is hard matchup but not immpossilble. Again here Mutanus the Devourer can come in handy when sniping Lady Anacondra or Malygos. U can try to be greedy with keeping some big taunts for alignment turn, but don't be crazy with that, Palm Reading still gives more value. Sometimes u can try to race them with ur quest reward vs they alignment turn, but it happens rarely
Freeze/OTK Shaman: Kinda of similliar to Paladin matchup, u have to stabilize and control the board until u finish ur quest. Try to keep Hysteria for freezeing elemental turns. Against OTK Mutanus the Devourer is really good - if u manage to eat Bolnar or Y'Ashharj you just win. In mulligan try to find good curve for quest, but u can keep Undying Disciple to make sure u will be safe. I like to keep Xyrella too coz its amazing removal.
OwlTK Lock/Garrote Rogue: One of the hardest matchups. Seems like your only wincon is to keep Mutanus the Devourer and try to snipe their combo pieces, but the time is limited. So in mulligan try to find combo disruptors and thats all u can hope for.
Burgle Rogue: Similliar to Shamans and Paladins. Try to live, control the board and eventually you will outvalue them and manage to finish the quest. Mulligan for quest qurve and early Hysteria for removal.
Aggro Decks (Face Hunters, Pirate Warriors, Aggro Druids): Here u need to forget about good curve and quest at all. Just try to live and stabilize. So u need to mulligan for Xyrella + some healing, Hysteria and hope to draw taunt bois early on. Here u don't really need to trade Amulet of Undying (maybe once in early game) coz ressurecting even 1 big taunt gives you value. Most of the times games ends after clearing their board 2/3 times, you just simply outvalue them with big taunts.
Cheers!
I play a similar Deck. Instead of Quest I use Yogg for those rare control matchups.
I find Xyrella really weak because u need to wait till turn 5-6 to use her, same as Nameless one, which is onlz good vs Pala.
Managed to win some games against pirate.. but sure need to be lucky. and most of the time aggro just rapes you as priest. you struggle hard most of the time. When I switch to shaman or something aggro I get mz 3 win streak super fast..
Xyrella, the Devout is extremely strong if you use her right.
On turn 5 (or even turn 4 if you have used Palm Reading on turn 3) with Gift of the Naaru she can do insane amounts of damage. She is a guaranteed full board clear most of the time.
The Nameless One can also be very good. Don't only think about using it on the enemies minions. You can also put it on your Venomous Scorpidfor example. And yeah, sometimes he is just a 4/4 doing nothing special. But every kind of board control is good, as all you do is trying to complete your quest and trying to stall the opponent.
Pirates is indeed a very, very hard match against this deck. Just hope for a PW nerf soon :D
I like this deck a lot. However, I also lose a lot.
I just can't seem to win against decks like Pirate warrior. Once they complete their quest - which is very quick - and get their unkillable boat?, which gives infinite weapons, damage and minions it's basically game over. Aside that, their pressure is insane. far too powerful.
OTK decks also slaughter this deck.
I will keep playing the deck, as I find it very fun to play. But it won't bring me to legend.
I've had good luck with this deck, the only changes i've made personally is ditching Shadow Hunter Vol'jin. I really just didn't find him that useful and found other control tools (Even such as an extra scorpion) more useful.
I also found some decent luck with replacing him with the Cthun the shattered. Which gives us more control pieces (Since it also gives us a second win condition)
Pretty good deck, didnt have nameless one, so i replaced it with the 1 cost aoe silence, works like a charm.
Wow. This deck is actually really good. Made it just for fun, ended up with a very strong 50:38 winrate across Diamond 5 - Diamond 2. Absolutely destroys Shaman and Paladin, good against aggro. Worst matchup is Pirate Warrior, but I haven't faced many, fortunately. Warlock sucks too, but OwlTK is not as common after the nerf. Great deck, really fun experience.
Trash, trash, trash, updates, still trash, take notes everyone...
Why?, I play and climb this deck from ZERO ranked to Diamond 2, and need 5 wins to legend ranked
and every thing is fine with me except Warlock,
Cant climb out of Diamond 5 with this
Man ! This is the deck u should play...no need that much legendarys. Just play my deck ! And subscribeon Youtube..SEARCH .. itsin

Now, THIS DECK??? First attemt.... SOLID VICTORY!! Plays and feels like QUEST, but also feels like you can abandon quest and still achieve the Win if card draw isn't in your favor
I wonder how many times you win with quest. And i mean against good meta decks while playing at a good legend rank where ppl are able to play well.
To be honest most of the controlish matchups ends up with me winning with quest reward. So far I am 11-1 against Paladins and most of those matchups ended up with quest reward. Other like vs other quest priests, control warriors or shamans are simmilar.
Basically against aggro decks like face hunters, pirate warriors, aggro druids and so on u just simply forget about quest itself and focus on staying alive and stabilizing.
at what legend rank you did those games if i may ask? With proof of it as well :) screenshot ecc... should be added to description since it have more than 50 upvotes please. Im afraid it doesnt work at all vs otk decks that are the strongest decks atm ( not only my personal opinion just look at the data to understand otk are a lot popular and the strongest non interactive decks atm ) cause is much slower compared, they win t 8 and you have no pressure to win before.... forget mutanus it will eat relevant minion maybe 1 game out of 10 so that's why im asking more data ecc... please.
This deck is so much fun. I've had more than a few quest warriors concede on me as games stretch on (especially after amulet resurrects multiple lightshower elementals). I even won a few games substituting Mutanus for Nozdormu for the mid month quest (with it triggering even!). That was a fun game!
how do u kill turn 1 trogg?
The only good way is to Hysteria or try to kill it with 2 and 3 drops.
there are many ways, i run similar deck with some minor card changes. Just today I had a pally go with turn 1 trogg on me. so on turn 4 i used the new 4 mana legendary that steals the minion - this was basically gg for the pally and won me game few turns after :P.
You can run shard for silence and shuffling, you can run faceless legendary, you can run the new 4 mana guy and many more to counter trogg.
Paladin games are by far easiest :P
Get rekt by 70% of diamond 8-3 (most aggressive Quest Warrior). At least it was fun until I face 8 warriors in a row. :D
Love the deck man. My only concern is against OWLTK warlock. Because the deck is slow, OWLTK warlock usually wins. Any tweaks to win against them?
