A TheoryCraft Reno Priest OTK deck. The OTK plan is easy but requires preparation.
Play style
First you want to draw alot of cards with your low drops like Loot Hoarder, Northshire Cleric and Acolyte of Pain can also draw extra cards with Kabal Talonpriest and Wild Pyromancer.
Then play Raza the Chained, Justicar Trueheart and if necessary Emperor Thaurissan. Now for the one turn kill you want to play Auctionmaster Beardo with Embrace the Shadow then pump out spells like Mind Blast, Flash Heal and smorc free hero powers between each spell to his face. You can also combo it with Prophet Velen for some extra damage. This deck can reach insanely high damage, so even Warriors shouldn't be a problem OTK'ing.
I am most interested to see how Kazakus, you will probably find yourself picking Damage to all Minions, Draw cards, Gain X armor and the Deal X damage. 1 mana Deal X damage can also be really good for your OTK since it just doesn't deal damage to his face but also gives you another hero power.
Mulligan guide
coming soon
Cards that didn't make the cut
Entomb, strong card against control decks but way to slow and a dead card against aggressive decks. Steal minions by Pint-Size Potion with [card]Potion of Madness[/card] [card]Cabal Shadow Priest [/card] instead. [card]Potion of Madness[/card] will also be good early game against aggressive decks and it is a spell that can help with the combo!
Purify, really good card and good synergy with Kazakus, and even with Potion of Madness
Cards that can be good
After testing the deck now, there is some cards that you might like in the deck aswell, if you feel like some cards is not working.
Holy Nova is good against aggro and possible jade. Have synergy with Bloodmage Thalnos, Northshire Cleric and can work with Prophet Velen.
Shadow Word: Horror can be good against aggro, even better with Pint-Size Potion
Dragonfire Potion, is bad against dragon decks but is great when you do not play against all the dragon priest, but I feel that this card might be to inconsistent.
eZ legend, if 50 up votes i do mannequin challenge!
Change log
27 November, developed the guide.
28 November, - Thoughtsteal, + Gnomish Inventor, deck will need more draw to get to win condition.
1 December, added Harrison Jones removed Gnomish Inventor. Because of the god Damn aggro pirate warriors.
Purifying enemy minions, the dream...
Greater healing potion?
Only works on friendly characters.
The same reason no one ran Clockwork Giant in mill decks. It doesn't contribute a lot to the win condition.
Seems more expensive than it needs to be. I like the previously front paged- OTK with velen and a bunch of draw mechanics and emperor T to discount in order to do 20-40 damage in a turn.
Lots of Kappas
Ah, the good old Auchenai Soulpriest + Reno Jackson combo :3
Lmao please tell me it nukes you down for an instant lose! I would die laughing!
Only if you are 15 or less, cause reno heals you up to 30, but auchenais make this heal damage
If I remember correctly Reno always tries to heal for 30, meaning auchenai + reno would always nuke you down unless you're a warrior with a lot of armor.
2-card OTK, what a bargain!
Forsen pro player really? This is an insult against all other pro players. He's just a clown.
Regardless of how you or anyone else feels about him, he technically is a professional player. He makes his living from playing this game.

I'm seeing a lot of OTK deck builds out there for highlander priest, and I just don't see it working too well. One of decks are so inconsistent
-excavated evil
+ dragonfire potion
pros: 2 extra aoe dmg
cons: 1 turn slower
i think you can afford that extra turn just to have a better removal i know turn 6 is a very important turn but if you can clean everything on the board [looking at the actual meta only survives thunder bluff valiant people dont usually play it turn 5 since they want to tap same turn]
You have to consider though that dragon decks especially dragon priest are going to start off very popular until the meta settles so Dragonfire Potion might not be as effective since it won't damage any of the opponents dragons. But then if you aren't facing many dragon decks then the Dragonfire Potion would be better.
well i based my comment on the actual meta i dont know if dragon decks will be that strong because of midrange shaman anyways we will see that soon!
I think there's a lot of wishful thinking here. I have at least 1,500 ladder wins with Priest Burst/OTK decks and even more loses than that. Usually with a lot more card draw than this and less pieces to get in hand and none have ever been consistent. From early days Alex to say Azure > 2x Mind Blasts > Holy smite to using Brann > Shadowbombers as part of a combo to the newer Velen> EtS > Flash Heals > Mind Blast all proc'd down etc. Fun yeah, consistent enough to climb easily past 9-10, no.
This seems way more convoluted than previous OTKs imo. Of course I'm going to immediately run a deck with Karakus/Raza/Beardo when it comes out. But I'm still pretty sure something like this will have a hard time working even 40% of the time past rank 12. You get a couple or even one key card stuck at the bottom chances are you're gonna lose, especially with only 1 of everything.
I do think a new Raza/Reno deck can do alright though. But imo it'll be with Shadowform or a deck that runs both forms, more board clear, value out of inspire minions, instead of looking for the more normal OTK approach. Could still put up some big damage using Beardo with 2-3 dmg Mind Spikes and a bunch of cheap spells. Karakus is good for that 1 mana spell that can help in that on the fly or even more so with emperor.
Raza will have more value in using Shadow Forms than Justicar and heal. Being able to freely ping for 2/3 damage every round just seems much stronger most the time, considering Priests heal spells/minions and having Reno.
