Intro

Hello everyone! I want to share my OTK Priest deck, which I played to Legend this season with 71% winrate (not clickbait). Hope you like it!

Overview

The main goal of this deck is to execute an OTK with Timewinder Zarimi + The Ceaseless Expanse + Delicious Cheese, dealing between 40 to 60 damage in a single turn.

Unlike the aggro version, this deck only includes 4 dragons. Two Clay Matriarchs ensure the activation condition for Timewinder Zarimi, while the cheapest dragon, Gorgonzormu, can be drawn reliably with Scale Replica and played as early as turn 3.

Ethereal Oracle helps with card draw and board clears, allowing you to survive until the critical OTK turn. Additionally, if needed, you can fully heal with Pendant of Earth by discovering The Ceaseless Expanse.

The deck plays great against both control and aggro decks.

Mulligan

  • vs Aggro 
  • Overzealous Healer, Crimson Clergy, Whelp Wrangler, Greedy Partner – for early board control.
  • Orbital Halo – if you have early minions in hand.
  • Ethereal Oracle, Fly Off the Shelves, Holy Nova – for board clears and card draw.
  • Scale Replica – if you have a good starting hand.
  • vs Control
  • Overzealous Healer, Crimson Clergy, Whelp Wrangler – for early pressure.
  • Orbital Halo – if you have early minions.
  • Ethereal Oracle, Scale Replica – for card draw.
  • Gorgonzormu – the earlier you can play it, the better.

Game Plan

  • Early Game (1-3 Mana Crystals)

Your strongest 1-mana drop, Overzealous Healer, helps both with board control and early pressure.

Don’t hesitate to play Crimson Clergy on turn 1, especially if you have Orbital Halo or Power Chord: Synchronize in hand.

  • Midgame (4-6 Mana Crystals)

By turn 5-6, you should have enough dragons in hand to use Ethereal Oracle + Fly Off the Shelves to clear any board.

Play Clay Matriarch on turn 6 or 7.

  • Late Game (7+ Mana Crystals)

Prepare for the OTK turn with Timewinder Zarimi + The Ceaseless Expanse + Delicious Cheese, and calculate your potential damage. Sometimes Timewinder Zarimi + Delicious Cheese is enough.

Remove key enemy minions with Aman'Thul and, if possible, copy it. Also you can save it for removing sticky taunt minions on the OTK turn.

Tips and Tricks

  • Don’t buff Overzealous Healer if its Spellburst hasn't been activated – it will silence the buffs!
  • Don’t waste the whelps from Whelp Wrangler unnecessarily – they are crucial for Fly Off the Shelves.
  • Ethereal Oracle works excellently with Fly Off the Shelves. The spell gets additional spell damage for each swipe. For example, with 3 dragons in hand, the spell will deal 8 damage.
  • Scale Replica guarantees drawing Gorgonzormu, as it is the cheapest dragon, allowing you to often play it on turn 3.
  • Pendant of Earth ⇒ The Ceaseless Expanse = full HP heal.
  • Don’t hesitate to use Power Chord: Synchronize on early minions, but it's better to save it for Aman'Thul.
  • First, draw minions (using Scale Replica, Pendant of Earth), then use Creation Protocol – this increases your chances of discovering additional Aman'Thul copies.
  • Remember, Power Chord: Synchronize can also be used on enemy minions!
  • Use Aman'Thul to remove key enemy minions (e.g., Zilliax, Ships).
  • Best Delicious Cheese are 8-mana and 10-mana versions.
