This is my alltime favourite Hearthstone deck and i would like to share it with you. It is inspired by nosebleed7's Shadow/Fatigue Priest. For an introduction into the playstyle you may read his remarks.
Compared to his deck, this is more combo oriented. While it's a heavy control deck, you will be able to make powerfull combos with Shrinkmeister.
Warning: This deck is hard to master and needs a lot of practice. After playing ~300 Matches now, i can feel the real power of the deck. Reaching legend is absolutly possible.
Card breakdown:
Shadowform: One of the best lategame cards in this game. Your hero power becomes Darkbomb - that's insane! In Shadowform you can play hero power - Shadowform - hero power to deal 2+3 damage for 7 mana.
Against midrange and control decks, you can play it early in the game.
Doomsayer: For early control or behind taunt. Not bad against Mirror Entity. ;-)
Shadow Word: Pain: Remove Belchers for 2 Mana. Great eary control card. Combo with Shrinkmeister to kill a Twilight Drake.
Recombobulator: Combo with Shadow Madness or to buff your Healbot/Cabal
Shrinkmeister: Combo with Shadow Madness, Cabal Shadow Priest, Crazed Alchemist and Shadow Word: Pain. Best target is Ysera.
Harrison Jones: This Deck lacks carddraw, so Harrison is good in control matchups against Warrior, Rogue or Paladin. Decent vs Hunter.
Deathlord: Great against aggro decks. Against control you shouldn't play this not without a hard removal as a follow up. Nice card to make Lightbomb more juicy at the next turn.
Why i don't run...
Thoughtsteal: It's too random. This is a combo deck, so you want to draw your own cards.
2nd Antique Healbot: This card is mainly good against face Hunter.
Holy Smite: Too weak to waste a card.
Big Game Hunter With 2x SW:D, 2x Lightbomb and Mind Control you have enough hard removals.
If you have trouble with aggro decks, switch Crazed Alchemist and/or Mind Control for Sen'jin Shieldmasta.
Matchups
over 50% winrate: Control Warrior (>85%), Priest, Mech Mage, Face Hunter (>85%), Midrange Hunter, Rogue (>80%), Taunt Druid, Freeze Mage, Patron Warrior, Midrange Paladin, Raptor Rogue
50/50: Combo Druid, Demonlock, Freeze Mage, Tempo Mage,
under 50%: Zoo, Shaman, Jaraxxus, Dragon Priest
Mulligan:
generally: SW:P, Doomsayer, Deathlord and maybe Shadow Madness
Warrior: Harrison, Shadowform, no Deathlord
Druid and Warlock: Lightbomb, Shadowform
Hunter: Shadow Madness, Holy Nova
Priest, Mage: Shadowform
Rogue: Taunts
Shaman: Holy Nova
Paladin: Holy Nova, Lightbomb

which ranks did you advance this season with this deck?
did you make it to 4?
Nice idea (I have a similar crazy Priest deck, I love Crazed Alchemist interactions)!
The only thing I miss is card draw!
intresting, tnx.
I think part of the purpose with thought steal and no Harrison in the original deck was that card draw fatigue was actually 1 of the methods of winning he mentioned. (Thought steal gives you cards without drawing from your deck). However I'm going to try your version of the deck anyway because that seems like it wouldnt matter in most games anyway.
It looks like a lot of games do go to fatigue but this deck usually behind on the draw anyway so the Harrison Jones isn't a problem fatigue-wise
shadow priest are reactive by play style. I often find myself missing a lightbomb or shadow word death when I need it the most. As such, I always love having the 1-mana spell power word to cycle the cards. But I know we are spoilt for choice. =)
mind control worked wonders for me ever since I put it in. it gives me 2 easy ways (other than voljin) to take care of surprises like ysera.
the other problem I had was with the shredders and stuffs that i couldn't kill in one turn, which u have worked around with the shrinkmeisters.
good deck nonetheless, I will give it a try and compare it against the mech shadow priest I have.
Card Name
I am already a Fan of the original deck. Best deck ever.. i am gonna try this one out.
checked it out....the original is better. a lot. missing 2 taunts here. Mind Control is not needed and Thoughtsteal is really, really strong. Shrinkmeister is too situational.
I don't have the Harrison yet, it will be my next craft.
However, I put in a Chromaggus instead. Wow. Just...wow. He survives because I kill everything else on the board...
Also, two Doomsayers always kept be from really taking over a board, seemed one was always a dead card. So I took it out and put in the other Mind Control. I figured that since I go late game all the time anyway, may as well grab their Ysera aaaaand their Malygos.
Oh, and I once had 4 Mind control in hand from drawing when Chromaggus was out. Used a PW: S on him and it pulled a Mind Control, then my next draw (he couldn't kill Chromaggus), I drew another one. I grabbed any minion he put out there, large or small...for 4 straight turns.
He conceded.
