Deck Description:

This deck is a different take on Priest Undead synergy in the new Lich King expansion. The idea is to cheat out Undead threats on the board with summon and res effects on cards like Flesh Behemoth, Bonecaller, High Cultist Basaleph and Amulet of Undying, and complement them with Undead synergy cards like Undying Allies, Grave Digging, Shadow Word: Undeath and Invincible, overwhelming your opponent into submission in classic Big Priest fashion.

There is plenty of sustain on the Undead cards themselves, with taunt, lifesteal, AOE damage and big creature removal on a stick.

Overall, this is a reasonably competitive deck for the competitive meta. It's not a T1 deck and definitely has weaknesses (spell-based decks, big minion counters like Objection and Freezing Trap, OTKs if they can sneak by your hand-disruption, very fast aggro/tempo decks like Implock). Play this deck if you're looking for:

  • A flavorful priest deck that makes heavy use of the new Lich King expansion cards (18 Lich King cards).
  • A non-aggro shadow deck.
  • A fun deck that's different and can surprise your opponents on ladder.

Mulligan:

In general, try to hit your low-mana cost cards in your opening hand, though you might want to keep cards like Undying Disciple if you know you're up against aggro, Tenacious San'layn if you know you're up against a face-damage deck, or Plaguespreader if you know you're up against a slow deck with a minion finisher.
