Who said Priest was a wimp? A thief? A slow Motherfucker?
Having just won my Golden priest, i wanted a change of pace. Faster, Stupider, FACER! Also, one of my friend dared me to play Shadowbomber in Ranked... So i built a stupid deck around this useless piece of crap and for some unknown reason i've been winning a lot with it.
Everyone is surprised. You know why? Because no one expect the MOTHERFUCKING FACE PRIEST! Normal people mulligan to play against control priest. But when they get downed from 16 to 0hp turn 6 with the dreaded Double Mind Blast and Double Shadowbomber "combo", they crumble and hide in denial.
This deck is pretty simple :
- Mulligan for Leper Gnome, Worgen Infiltrator and Shadowbomber since they're really good source of early damage for 1 mana. Abusive sergeant is good to play turn 1 only if you're the first to play or if your opponent isn't Mage, Druid or Rogue.
- Forget all you know. Don't use Power Word: Shield to trade, but only to draw or to get your minion to survive your opponent turn. Don't be afraid of using it on enemy's minion if you don't have any.
- The only kind of trading the Face Priest does, is when he use his Shadow Word: Pain or Holy Smite on ''big threats'' such as Knife Juggler
- If you're healing things (including yourself) then you probably doing something wrong or have already lost. You should always prioritize playing a minion or using face spell instead of healing.
- If you have a lot of cards in your hand, always play charging minions first and keep spell for the next turn in case he use a taunt. If he does, you'll be happy to see your lethal face damage floating over his taunt wall, hitting face for a deadly finish.
Then you go face with all your might.
Manage your mana to deal the most damage within your turn and the next one in mind.
Example : You got 5 mana, you've allready Shadowformed and you've only got a Wolfrider and a Bluegill Warrior in your hand. Use the Wolfrider with your Hero Power Mind Spike since you have no more card to play next turn anyway. Unless your opponent have no board which is unlikely.

Q/A
Q: WHY DO YOU PLAY WITH A Shadow Madness ?
A: What's the best answer to a Sludge Belcher that is stopping your charging minions from hitting face? EASY! Subdue the puke machine and hit the face of his own master with it! Great Sucess!
EDIT: I removed Shadow Madness from the deck, i had great win with it but it seems kinda situational and all. Try it yourself ! It's a fun card and nothing beats winning with someone else minions!
Q: DO YOU USE Holy Smite TO HIT FACE?
A: I use everything on face unless a obvious trade is better (Knife Juggler, Whirling Zap-o-matic or Cult Master)
Q: WHY DID I LOSE? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
A: This is not a 100% win rate deck and a simple Healbot or taunt can ruin your game. A very bad draw early can be devastating (if you get Leeroy Jenkins, Shadow Madness and Shadowform in your starting end it's pretty much GG)
Q: WHY DON'T YOU USE *RANDOM CARD* OR *TECH CARD* IN YOUR DECK?
A: I tried half of those recommendations and the other half is simply too slow. A lot of people ended up adding me after a game to know my decklist and they almost always ended up changing a few cards. One dude went from rank 12 to 5 in a day with a variant of this deck. Try it for yourself and comment below with your feedback!
Don't bother commenting without testing, cause for fuck sake, even i would've died laughing if someone showed me that stupid deck a week ago. Try it for yourself! And have fun!
2015-05-06 CHANGES TO THE DECK :
I removed 1 resurect cause it was too random but 1 is still crazy good sometimes. Added a second Worgen Infiltrator for a good Velen's Chosen target. Could be Gilblin Stalker if you like tankyness and suvivability to dudes and traps.
I am also testing Blingtron but he look slow as fuck and TOO RANDOM!
Ok after some test BLINGTRON SUCKS! Yeah it can be fun but RNG is unreliable. I replaced him with HOLY FIRE!
Credit to Dasso for adding Coldlight Oracle in the deck instead of Jeeves.
Credit to Theomancer for the latest change (as of 2015-04-28)
Credits to Seijou for nothing, He just added me to watch me play it and i find that funny. HAI SEIJOU!!
LOVE. THIS. DECK. Even Face Hunters are left stupefied. Gone from Rank 17 to 14 so far.
I replaced King Mukla with Old Murk-Eye. No luck with it yet, but I figured if there's any deck to make sense of it... Well... Maybe this is it? :)
there is no shadow madness in this deck
I'm going to try this, but I have to ask - Resurrect in a deck with such a low curve? Why?
so you can re rez a charge.
Kinda expensive for an aggro deck.. sadly I cna't even test this deck since it's core is made of epics I don't have.. anyway I like the idea the element of surprise is it's biggest factor as it seems
I have my doubts about shadowform though.. isn't it a bit slow for a face deck? you waste 3 mana whcih are worth 5 damage more or less on changing your HP to hunters' HP..
As a player who basically plays agro every class besides priest and paladin I really would like this to work but I fear its just a bit of a gimmick (which OP probably realizes as well)
Paying 3 mana just to have the same hero power as a hunter essentially and no weapons really hurts.
Main problem with this deck: Face hunter is better, and costs less. No point crafting expensive shit for unreliable win rate.
I tought about it but... It's random and late... But it give the other player a chance to HIT HIS FACE on your minions instead of trading his minions. What did you change to put Bling bling?
Yeah, it's like a mini Mind Blast for half the mana.
I just can't bring myself to spend 800 dust on.... shadowbombers.
i had TWO gold ones from packs and AREN'T I Kicking myself now!!
i replace 1 Resurrect and 2 Bluegill Warrior with 1 Auchenai Soulpriest and 2 Holy Fire and try to deal with it. 5-1 in ranked, i think thats good for fun deck
Glad it's working for you mate!
Gameplay??
Not OP but I would recommend turn 5 where you can both Shadowform and hero ability :)
It's like you said, it's like a semi guaranteed 4 damage. Having 2 silence can be devastating early game. But whatever float your boat mate!
Take that exact same set of neutrals and replace the Priest cards with 13 class cards from Hunter, Mage, or Rogue. Win more.
half the win of this deck is probably from control mulligan from the opponent though.
Maybe take silence
I would pay to see a Control Hunter vs Face Priest matchup.
