This deck is probably a little expensive and a little nuts but it's as intense as it is nuts! Let me know what you think if you try it. It is a wallet deck with many legendary cards. Some of which are mandatory. This deck also requires some calculated plays to get optimal results.

Card Breakdown | |
---|---|
Awaken the Makers | This is a powerful card to throw into your strategy with being such a heavy control deck. With the synergy backing this up it's easy to complete. |
Loot Hoarder | A reliable card to play early and gets you that one draw closer to the crucial cards of this deck. |
Potion of Madness | There's no question that this card can get a lot done, and there's some great deathrattles to steal. |
Shallow Gravedigger | A nice 3 drop to supplement deathrattle synergy. |
Shadow Visions | This is a fantastic highlander tool, allowing you a second copy of a spell of your choice. |
Shadow Word: Pain | Straightforward removal. |
Spirit Lash | Love this card. Easy to combo with spell damage, can heal a lot, and has double synergy with Velen. |
Shadow Word: Death | Straightforward Removal. |
Thoughtsteal | Some may suggest Curious Glimmerroot. I prefer this so it will not pollute your summon/rez pool. Can always use more cards in the long game. |
Eternal Servitude | Epic card! Varies in power depending on what minions have died before you play it, but often you can get ridiculous value for 4 mana after your opponent just struggled to remove that minion! |
Shifting Shade | Serves the same purpose as Crystalline Oracle. |
Tortollan Shellraiser | A very nice taunt to have at your disposal to stifle to protect friendlies or trade with small minions. |
Dragonfire Potion | Seeing some more minion-heavy decks lately, so i decided to run this aoe again. |
Holy Nova | Classic double whammy priest aoe. |
Onyx Bishop | Re-summons one of our numerous valuable minions. Love this card; just time it right! |
Raza the Chained | This is a core card. Makes Shadowreaper Anduin insane, and is the entire reason this is a highlander deck. One of my favorite cards in the game. |
Shadow Essence | Barnes as a spell, but better. The fact that it is summoned as 5/5 is great because it matters a bit less which minion it is. Very useful. |
Prophet Velen | This card adds a lot of fuel to the fire. Most often you will be taking advantage of hero power bonuses, but cranks up aoe as well. |
Shadowreaper Anduin | God damn this is a sweet card. Gives you huge board control power and allows you to really spam shadow damage all over the place. A win condition. |
Obsidian Statue | This card is insane, it does so many good things. Then you can bring it back multiple times, and get another from Stonehill Defender! Key card. |
Bloodmage Thalnos | Not crucial but helps progress the quest and flow of the deck. Spell power is always good. |
Polluted Hoarder | Taking advantage of the deathrattle card draw with this card. It may not seem worth it at face value, but it is very nice to re-summon afterwards. |
Spiritsinger Umbra | I decided against this card in the past, but now i have thought about it some more and it can get value often with all the deathrattles. Does not work with Skelemancer. |
Arfus | So cute! Woof! Death knight cards are really powerful, why not have more?! |
Barnes | Progresses the quest and also creates copies which increase resurrection chances of a minion. |
Kazakus | Tons of value. If i am going to be running Raza, there's no reason not to run this as well. |
Skelemancer | I was originally skeptical, but this card is sweet. Just leave it on the board and let it intimidate. They will have to think twice about using aoe damage! If you get a chance, taunt the bastard up! |
Cairne Bloodhoof | Classic and timeless value. Sweet card in a mirror match as well. Not mandatory but very good. |
The Lich King | The king, man, you have to have him! Copy him, resurrect him, serve him. Death knight cards will give you a lot of power. |
N'Zoth, the Corruptor | Hell yeah i am going to play this. Look at those deathrattles! You can play this earlier if you had some good minions die, but otherwise it's better to save as long as possible. |

I'm loving this deck. Played 10 games so far, won 8 of them. I managed to defeat even aggro decks thanks to AOE cards like Holy Nova, Spirit Lash (combo with Bloodmage Thalnos is awesome) and Dragonfire Potion. Let's see how far I will go in the ladder with this!
No offense to the creator but can anyone confirm this is a real deck? I keep feeling like this will get run over by every aggro deck as well as jade druid and murloc paladin (which is like, 50% of the ladder right now).
I tried this myself in unranked but my unranked MMR is fucked and I get matched against people whose entire deck may or may not contain any non-basic cards.
What does a real deck entail? Tell me more.
- thoughsteal
- onyx bishop
- prophet velen
- shallow gravedigger
- Arfus
- polluted hoarder
- skelemancer
+ crystalline oracle
+ mistress of mixture
+ volatile elemental
+ curious glimmerroot
+ happy ghoul
+ tar creeper
+ elise the trailblazer
Try the changes I suggested in my post below. It really helps with the early game. You don't necessarily always need healing so Greater Healing Potion could potentially just be sitting in your hand. However, with the changes I've suggested, you have minions for trading and for damage soaking!
Arfus isn't important. Just toss a comparable cost deathrattle minion in his place. As for Bloodmage, he's nice to have because you get three benefits (SP, deathrattle, draw) from him but you can replace him with another deathrattle minion or with a Tainted Zealot. As for replacing Lich King...perhaps Free From Amber?
Ideally Amara is your greater healing potion, I would not suggest fitting the potion in because this deck is already way too heavy on 4's.
Lich King can be replaced by Ysera but they don't exactly fulfill the same role.
I enjoy the deck! I felt it was a little weak to aggro in the first 4-5 turns so I tweaked it a bit:
- Spiritsinger Umbra (I love this card but it's just too slow...never seem to get much value out of it...killed as soon as it hits the board.)
- Polluted Hoarder (quite honestly there are just better cards...)
- Skelemancer (I like this card but people avoid killing it like the plague and I feel like I have to save it for the deathrattle for it to be worth being in the deck so I found other options)
- Onyx Bishop (I get it, great card to bring back more deathrattles, but this deck doesn't really need it. It DOES need Elise tho!)
+ Crystalline Oracle (early game minion + deathrattle + draw = win)
+ Mistress of Mixtures (early game minion + deathrattle + healing = win)
+ Elise the Trailblazer (this + shadow visions = win) (and you can get some helpful stuff for the late game)
+ Stonehill Defender (it's just so nice to have some early aggro tools...plus the battlecry can occasionally nab you a Lich King or the like.)
Is there a suitable card replacement for Prophet Velen? Is Archbishop Benedictus a viable replacement or is it a core card in this deck?
Velen isn't essential but it's very good and versatile. Maybe try a mirage caller instead. Archbishop is a bad idea in this deck. For example, if may be harder to find raza and if you found it you may likely now have duplicates in your deck. I wouldn't try that.
is this ok for wild?

Replacement for Umbra?
Acolyte of Pain
Hmm, can you explain latest changes? Is meta that different at your ranks now?
I can see Radiant Elemental thrown out for Shallow Gravedigger as we rarely have many cheap spells to play and no Lyra synergy. Although I still think an early drop is desperately needed. Might try Happy Ghoul or Mana Geode (both are bad Barnes pulls though).
But Stonehill Defender is a great aggro stopper, plus it gives more taunts, which can make massive difference in early-mid game (or an extra Lich King!).
I did play against a fair share of Jade Druids and I think Skulking Geist is not that helpful. Early jades are removed via trading and potions, mid-tier is cleared by Dragonfire and the final wave is destroyed by Anduin.
Yeah, you can get roflstomped early, but then Geist would not have done anything either.
Evolves - yes, kinda, but you will outvalue Shaman anyway if you live long enough.
Pirates - gotta live to turn 6 in the first place and then I'd rather play something else, and Stonehill is perfect against them.
Discounts do not count for Geist (checked by Toast in his video), so no value against Mage.
Paladins - may delete a Kodo secret to deny some Tirion value, but he either played it already or will generate more of those with that 2 cost card.
So unless you running into Jade Druid every 3 out of 5 games, I am very-very skeptical about Geist in this particular deck.
Gravedigger sure is valuable.
I recently decided against Skulking Geist after giving it a chance. I wanted more draw instead, so i swapped Acolyte of Pain with Polluted Hoarder, and the Geist with Spiritsinger Umbra to hopefully get additional draws. Of course, now i just bumped the deck up past 21k dust 0_o.
Stonehill Defender is great, and i do like it with the new Obsidian Statue, but i just don't like seeing it from a summon.
Great deck dude! Just wanted to ask for replacements for Onyx Bishop, Arfus, and Barnes
Keep up the good work btw!
very good da
