So i have been playing priest pretty much since hearthstone came out, and it is my main class, so i know the class inside and out, trust me. Some of you probably know me from my last, semi- popular priest deck, AnduWIN  http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/245413-anduwin-priest-perfected

I made this deck with the thought of "why aren't these cards good again?" specifically shadow boxer, and resurrect seem very strong, and i have no idea why they aren't played more. I playtested the deck for quite some time, and think I like the end result quite a bit. It has been performing far better than I had ever hoped, and it feels possibly as strong as AnduWIN, which for me is a tried and tested deck. Keep in mind that like any deck, it is still a work in progress, so feel free to make any substitutions that you like, and put in the comments what you did, and how it worked out. 

Strategy

  • This is a minion- heavy deck, with strong minions for all mana costs, so mulligan for a strong curve. As I have said in previous decks, the most important rule when mulliganing is to have a gameplan. Plan out a few turns ahead, dont just roll for low cost cards.
  • The playstyle for this deck is very similar to shaman. You want to take board control early, and then snowball, and make efficient trades. Priest as a class is great at snowballing since you can heal your minions.

Card Explanations

  • Resurect- This card is the main reason i build this deck. It usually gets crazy value, especially when in a deck made for it.
  • Shadowboxer- Honestly i don't know why people don't play this card in priest as a staple. Traditionally, priests tend to have very few two mana minions, and this is a wonderful, solid two drop.
  • Dark Cultist- this is another great, just extremely solid minion for its cost, and it can often give you great value as well.
  • Sen'Jin Shieldmasta- This minion is in here because there aren't many other solid four drops. there is auchenai, but that's about it, and of course its great against aggro.
  • Lightbomb- I personally run a lightbomb in all my priest decks. There are just so many situations in witch it is better than holy nova, especially since almost all of your minions have more health than attack.
  • Chromaggus/Ysera- These cards are your late game fuel. Obviously resurrecting one of these would be amazing, but that is not usually going to happen, and that's now the game plan, although its great if it does. these cards are in here for the sole purpose of giving you fuel late game.

 

Thanks for checking out my deck, I hope you enjoy it! If you liked it don't forget to leave a like, and please put any suggestions, of feedback in the comments, I read them all, and almost always answer.
