Intro

Hi,

My name is Stepwood, I'm a player on the EU-Server and a passionate deck-builder. Welcome to the Wild Version of Shadow Priest.

My interest in Shadowform began after Kibler was defeated with a version of Senfglas’ season 22 Shadow Priest deck:

http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/senfglas-season-22-shadow-priest/

Although TGT failed to hit the mark, Kodorider, Nexus-Champion Saraad and Confessor Paletress were cards that proved the inspire mechanic was at best a glorious failure. Glorious mainly because of the synergy with Shadowform.

KotFT has changed the Shadow Priest archetype entirely. Although the Highlander spine of the deck still persists, the deck can no longer be called a Shadowform deck due to the anti-synergy between Shadowform and the latest Priest legendary Shadowreaper Anduin. Shadowreaper as a card is nuts.

Key card decisions:

The card library in Wild is expanding with tremendous speed. So many cards to choose from and as a deck-builder the hardest task is not to give into greed; always to consider the mana curve and card draw, a deck full of legendaries is tempting but will guarantee a negative result.

For early game we have Zombie Chow, Wild Pyromancer, Tar Creeper, Potion of Madness and Radiant Elemental.

Of course since this is a Highlander deck we have to include Kazakus, Reno Jackson and Raza the Chained. For card draw we have the usual suspects Power Word: Shield, Northshire Cleric and Loot Hoarder.

Gluttonous Ooze and Harrison Jones are tech choices against the weapon-wielding maniacs in Wild and Elise the Trailblazer for an extra win condition since Shadowreaper Anduin itself isn't enough. Barnes for the opportunity to summon an inspire minion.

Velen's Chosen and Lightbomb are some of the best Wild Priest cards. It would be foolish not to take advantage of them. 

Good luck and have fun!
