Hello there!!!! I'm back again with a new OTK Priest deck which includes the forgotten Prophet Velen!!!!
Lets talk about the build of the deck... As you can see, there are 10 ways to clear the board, many cards that gives you draw and also an amazing combo burst damage!!!! With this deck you'll have most fun...
Explanation of cards:
- Circle of Healing: Only for clear with Auchenai Soulpriest
- Flash Heal: Convert to dmg with Auchenai Soulpriest (also deal 10 dmg with Prophet Velen)
- Power Word: Shield: Draw 1 card
- Northshire Cleric: Draw as many cards as you can
- Mind Blast: 5 or 10 dmg with Prophet Velen
- Shadow Word: Death: Kill a high threat minion
- Auchenai Soulpriest: Make you heals dmg
- Excavated Evil: Clear board
- Holy Nove: Clear board, also heal
- Lightbomb: Clear board
- Prophet Velen: Double dmg
- Zombie Chow: Maybe best 1 mana minion, also combo with Auchenai Soulpriest
- Acolyte of Pain: Draw as many cards as you can
- Big Game Hunter: Kill a high threat minion
- Wild Pyromancer: Extra 2 board cleaners
- Emperor Thaurissan: Improves the combo's mana pool
- Justicar Trueheart: Increase to 4 heal/dmg with Hero Power
Playstyle:
The playstyle is simple, but dont use your spells worthless... Try get the max value of each card... Try keep the board clean and also draw as many cards as you can to get in to your hand the full combo and then play Emperor Thaurissan... Next turn you have OTK!!!!
Combos and Damage dealing to Opponent:
The combos of this deck is (Included previous turn Emperor Thaurissan):
- Prophet Velen + Auchenai Soulpriest + Flash Heal + Flash Heal + Mind Blast = 30 Dmg (10 mana)
- Prophet Velen + Mind Blast + Mind Blast = 20 Dmg (8 mana)
- Trade each Zombie Chow with Auchenai Soulpriest = 5 Dmg each
- Hero Power (after Justicar Trueheart) + Prophet Velen + Auchenai Soulpriest = 8 Dmg each Hero Power
If you get too much presure from aggro decks, dont wait to use healing spells for dmg... Just heal yourself to survive!!!!
Replaces:
If you dont have Prophet Velen, put in Malygos (but it's not the same value)
Muligan:
Keep low mana cost Cards and Draw... Zombie Chow, Northshire Cleric, Acolyte of Pain, Power Word: Shield
The deck is still on Testing and also has high win ratio at Ranks 5+!!!! Feel free to suggest new replaces and ideas for this deck...

That's like freeze magy or maly lock(rogue) thats rly interesting deck. i have a lot of fun with this one
trying this out now but appears to be exactly what i wanted
1 priest down
1 warlock pwned me no luck getting velen - he seems key
yeah I am having no luck - never seem to have any with OTK decks sigh
The decks not bad but it does lose to quite a few matchups in particular like control warrior, combo druid, freeze mage and maybe secret pally if we don't get clean board clears while they refill their hands with divine favours. I would say the biggest weakness to this deck is whether or not we can get enough draws in from our clerics and acolyte it does require a bit of luck.
So you win if you draw 6 specific cards, wait one turn for Emperor to lower cost and next turn you win ? Gotcha. Bad deck.
That's how combo decks work in general though.
Remember, card draw is more important than your life in this kind of deck.
If you really want to use Brann, I think adding healbot could be nice. I play a different style of OTK and wonder how easy it is to meet your win conditions, considering there's no smite, thalnos nor alextrasza. Could you exlpain me why you opted for this style, is it just to test OTK with the expansion cards or do you think its better than older priest OTK decks?
Thats not really an explanation. Any OTK's deck goal is to keep the board clean and draw for your kill combo. Holy Smite and Bloodmage Thalnos allow you to get a 30 damage combo in one turn. I also use Auchenai Soulpriest and Flash Heal but in my experience its harder to meet the conditions to OTK with them because Auchenai Soulpriest costs 4 so you would need to have Auchenai Soulpriest, Prophet Velen, 2 Flash Heals and a Mind Blast in your hand to play Emperor Thaurissan. With Holy Smite and Bloodmage Thalnos it suffices to have 4 of your 5 combo pieces and you dont have to save Auchenai Soulpriestwhich is a major board clear in these decks.
I only played a couple of games with your deck, and don't play a 100 games a day, so can't really judge but having played a lot of variations of OTK priests I'm doubtful about consistently reaching lethal range with this deck and the use of Coldlight Oracle as card draw because it helps your opponent. Acolyte of Pain with Velen's Chosen and Wild Pyromancer gives you at least 2 card draw if played well.
Now I have to admit my deck risks card burns more because I rely heavily on Acolyte of Pain and I don't use Justicar Trueheart which must give you an edge in long games (however Holy Fire and Alexstrasza help in that department).
EDIT: Sorry didn't notice you changed your deck, GL with the try-outs! I'm considering trying zombie chows as well because they don't need another combo piece to be played.
Did you make it to rank 4?
good to know. ive been struggling at rank 5 (keep dropping back to 6) and priest was my original class and i often get my best results from priest so I'll give this a shot
