Introduction:

Hello i'm Thornstaff some random legend player on the eu. I usually finish bottom of the ladder every season and never really managed to win any big tourneys, but i just managed to reach top 5 legend with my totally overpowered priest deck, i know it might sound like a joke "Priest top 5 legend" for sure seems impossible, but i have all the proves i need in the below wall of shame, so what u have to do now is waiting for me to write up a guide and go copy the decklist into ur account.

Deckidea:

This is a pretty simple priest deck, it’s suppost to be able to stop aggro wirh cards like holy nova, zombie chow, sludge belcher etc. While still providing a pretty consistent late game. It’s not dependant on late game cards like ysera, which means u don’t need to run heal in order to survive vs aggro, cause u will rarely find urself in problem with winning board if u mulligan correctly.

Tech Choices:

Big game hunter:

This is a very strong clear which also provides a decent body for 3 mana, mainly in here cause I got no vol’jin and insane vs handlock. Nearly everybody runs dr boom and here this guy is just a demigod.

2 Deathlords are good :D!

These wall-lords provide an easy opportunity to win vs aggro when u play this card vs hunter you will usually find urself in the situation where ur enemy owl it cause it kills all their chargers and cards like knife juggler are pretty hard countered by this guy aswell. This guy is also a beast buffed cause usually enemy don’t want to silence due to it’s deathrattle but a 4-12 which can be healed every round is so frigging impossible to remove if ur not warrior or paladin. Never play this vs warrior if u got no backup plan, in case he executes it and get alexstraza or grommash. I also like to play sylvanas behind this guy when enemy got no board, cause most classes cant unlike mage clear a 5-5 behind a wall. If they manage to kill the wall-lord, they will get you a minion for ur sylvanas to prey on.

1 MIND CONTROL

Insane value do not question it. Vs control huge temposwing.

1 Lightbomb

This card won me so many games, especially vs druid who tend to overextend with their ancient of lores shredders etc. also good when your enemy double molten giant, taunt up and healbot as handlock. U will not find a matchup where this card is useless.

Shadow madness

This is the card which should make ur enemy regret they played their sludge belcher, u can use in nearly every matchup such an op card with huge value potential.

Mulligans:

Aggro matchup:

Keep ur chow, deathlord, cleric, pain. You can keep dark cultist, it’s hard decide when to keep and when to throw the cultist.  The reason I do not keep shadow madness, is because u do not need it when u got board advantage. I would only keep power word shield if I got an early game minion to use it on and velens chosen only kept when I got deathlord in hand already, remember even though u got deathlord in hand velens chosen still not a guaranteed keep.

Control matchup:

Keep buffs, chows, clerics, dark cultist, (bgh vs handlock) (pain vs rogues) don’t drop a chow or cleric vs a warrior without buffing it turn 1, since it will just die to his fiery war axe.

Playstyle:

Aggro matchups:

Fight for board, get ur minions out as fast as possible and if ur dropping low against a face hunter try to use ur heal as often as possible. Always play deathlord when u get the opportunity and keep it healed. Get ur taunts up as fast as possible and keep buffing those.

Control matchups:

Play around execute n equality on your deathlord. In this matchup, the buffs are pretty good. You generally don’t want to throw a zombie chow or cleric into a coined fiery war axe or a coined knife juggler (well chow to juggler is nice).
