The Super Shadow Reno Priest
Difficulty level: Hard
Challenging and fun. Packed with value and loads of synergy - this is my updated Super Reno Priest deck. The strategy is to survive until late game, because that's where the forte of this deck is.
Mulligan
Top priority: Raza the Chained & Reno Jackson
Holy Smite, Potion of Madness, Shadow Word: Pain, Shadow Madness, Shadow Word: Horror, Mistress of Mixtures, Dirty Rat, Doomsayer, Mind Control Tech
Depending on your opponents class pick the necessary cards to survive into late game.
Some of my favorite mulligans to stop opponent early game aggro:
Potion of Madness & Shadow Madness = Run your enemies into each others
Shadow Word: Horror = Wipe a shamans board full of totems and other low ATK minions
Doomsayer = Always good to have for eating up 7 DMG or wiping board
Best combos
Raza the Chained + Confessor Paletress = 1 summon/turn! [Level 1]
Raza the Chained +Garrison Commander + Confessor Paletress = 2 summons/turn! [Level 2]
Raza the Chained + Garrison Commander + Confessor Paletress + Shadowform = 4 summons/turn! [Level 3]
Medivh, the Guardian's staff Atiesh + high mana spells (like: Kazakus spells & Mind Control)
Brann Bronzebeard + Kazakus = Get em awesome spells!
Youthful Brewmaster + Reno Jackson = What's better than a full heal? Two full heals.
Youthful Brewmaster + Kazakus = What's better than kazakus spells? More kazakus spells.
Youthful Brewmaster + Brann Bronzebeard +Kazakus = Because more is more.
Azure Drake + Chillmaw + Dragonfire Potion = Dragon synergy! Have Azure Drake in hand and play Chillmaw for that AoE, or wipe the board with Dragonfire Potion and have your dragons rise from the ashes unharmed!
Quick guide updated 14.3.2017 - more to come later!
Really fun deck, enjoyed playing with it a lot. Building up a crazy board with Kodo Rider / Confessor Paletress and Garrison Commander combo then watching your opponent srcamble to search for removal is extremely rewarding :). I'm not 100% sure about the Shadow Word: Horror inclusion especially without Pint-Size Potion, but in the games i played it actually turned out pretty well.
If you want to check out my experiences with the deck I'll link the video below :).
This deck looks awesome !! GJ on this mate :D
Why not Nexus-Champion Saraad Instead of Kvaldir Raider ? I get that he gets big with free hero power, but is that really better than a random spell?
I would not recommend it. Played a variant of this deck the last 2 seasons. The rider is very important to put bodies/pressure on the board and two to three 3/5's are often hard to deal with. On the other hand Saraad often just gives you crap.
While every turn rider lives is a huge value component, Saraad could live 3 turns and maybe give you unusuable or pretty bad spells...
Every lategame deck loses to Jade Druid xD. This deck's fun to play.
Medive Renolock deck can win against jade druid
No Kabal Courier for that chance at Coldarra Drake? Or maybe even Lord Jaraxxus.
Can you record a video guide?
Terrible deck.
Replacements for Chillmaw and Paletress?
Chillmaw can be any other 5-7 taunt minion.
Paletress isnt really replaceable for what this deck does, maybe Saraad.
did you consider to use Justicar Trueheart?
Useless with shadowform
I've been messing around with this in Casual mode and had problems with nearly every matchup I had. It's especially weak against aggro. I feel like it needs less dragon, less inspire, and more board clear and healing. I also have issues with Raza the Chained since he's not too consistent - if you can get him out on turn 4 or 5 he's great, but if you get him much later than that he's not that special, and I feel like the deck is mostly built around him.
That being said, it is a fun deck, as long as things go your way. Just needs more consistency.
Looks interesting, but realistically what kind of win rate are you seeing in the current meta with so many aggro Jade / pirate decks?
EDIT: So far it's actually been a pretty fun deck. Put a damper on some Pirate Warrior and Jade Druid parades. Only change I've made so far is swapping Mistress of Mixtures for Greater Healing Potion as I have found it allows me to stall longer for board wipes and late game control
