Hey Guys and welcome to another Guide by me, Uldarius!
Today i want to bring to you the Deck i went Legend with, the Ez Big Ez Priest! What actually started as a Meme turned out to be really effective in the current state of Meta.
So what it's about?
This Deck uses Eternal Servitude to bring back the big minions with full stats you got out earlier with Barnes or Shadow Essence. The cool thing about this deck is that the bunch of spells you have in this deck like Spirit Lash and all the shadow words make this deck pretty good vs AGGRO (i had 100% winrate vs token druid and token shaman due to Shadow Word: Horror) while you can create a lot of pressure vs CTRL too.
MULLIGAN:
Usually, you hard mulligan for Barnes. If you get him out on the early turnes and resurrect the outcome, its usually autowin. Anyways, vs. Warrior and Shaman you can keep a Potion of Madness, Spirit Lash and Shadow Word: Pain. I didn't meet a lot of hunters but i think you can do this for them, too.
GENERAL GUIDE:
Early Game:
You usually don't play anything until you find Barnes or Shadow Essence vs. control and keep removing the board vs. aggro. You will have to think good about when to use Shadow Word: Pain as for example vs. Paladin, you might have to keep if to remove a Murloc Warleader or vs. druid for Vicious Fledgling. Anyways, usually the early game is just healing up yourself and wait for Barnes or Shadow Essence. You can play Shadow Visions to find it but i recommend to wait with it until the turn before you are actually able to play the Shadow Essence. The reason for that is if you draw it until then, it's better trying to find another Eternal Servitude with it.
Mid Game:
Time to get some big Minions out! You usually just start resurrecting with Eternal Servitude whatever you got out of Barnes or Shadow Essence. Sometimes, vs. priest for example, you don't want to many The Lich King but should wait for Ysera to resurrect her as often as possible. Same counts for other hard control decks like Paladin or Warrior, as you can get more Minions out of her.
End Game:
If your big Minions are not enough, you still have the Shadowreaper Anduin. The heropower can actually deal a lot of damage in the control matchups as you usually keep a lot of the cheap spells you need vs. aggro.
Important Cards and Combos:
Pint-Size Potion : Good card to combo out with Shadow Word: Horror to clear the board or Potion of Madness to get a good deathrattle or something. I often get Aya with it and play Shadow Word: Horror then, also it can be used to get rid of 4 attack minions.
Potion of Madness : This card can be your key to success in mirror matchups. If he plays Barnes you can get his outcome, but you should also consider getting his 4 Attack Minions (or 5 Attack with Shadow Essence ) and let them die on your side.
Shadow Visions : If you don't need any removal, you usually want another Eternal Servitude out of it. If you don't find your Shadow Essence you can also get this out but i would wait until the turn before you can play it, because if you draw it (or Barnes ), another Eternal Servitude is just way better.
TECH SPOTS:
There is actually some spot in the deck for tech cards. If you face a lot of aggro, double Spirit Lash should be good, versus control you can put in double Free From Amber. I found a good card in Silence versus cards like Doomsayer (Freeze / Quest Mage), Gadgetzan Auctioneer or Obsidian Statue. You can also take out Smite or even put a second copy of Smite in your deck (could be good vs. the Murloc Tidecaller as you want to keep your Shadow Word: Pain for the Murloc Warleader)

is there a good replacement for y'shaarj that is literally the only card im missing or is it worth investing the dust on y'shaarj any suggestions?
isnt that Onyx Bishop rly bad when u r playing Barnes?
Just because a pro player plays it doesn't mean it's the best deck.
i think Shadowreaper Anduin deals with Jade druid? i don't know what your'e saying never had a problem with them.You have to pace out the game and play smart not going all in at once
great deck. got me to 5 after a stagnant spell at rank 10
Mountain Giant is really good in this deck
Fun deck but I cant seem to beat jade druids and unfortunately, jade druids are very popular in the current meta.
I have a Jade Druid Killer Called Jade Teardrop.. I was also having problems with them and quest mage, so I made a cheap priest deck to deal with them. I'm currently 28-3. This deck here is also useful depending on what you are running into. You have to swap in tech cards, or build different types of priest depending on what you are running into. Typically on a day where I want to grind I keep track of what I'm seeing the most of and what specific combos, problems are.. Then you make a deck to combat the meta and rip up a few levels on the ladder. That's how climbing is done.
Oops multi posted that.
I am facing jade druids about 55% of my games at R10-R7. However, I did manage a 9 game winstreak last night and even beat a jade druid! I switched over to aggro paly in the meantime for my R5 push. I do love this deck though. It is insanely fun and creative.
I'm having a blast with this deck, first time playing it i went 7-0 at rank 15. I recommend it 100%
I have a question, what do you think about running N'Zoth instead of Ysera? The idea of course is to bring back statues with Eternal Servitude and then checkmate with N'Zoth. In many matchups it won't matter, but I think that against control is gives you the firepower you need to close it out.
in my opinion ysera is way more versatile (deal 5 dmg, or return a minion, etc) than n'zoth, and he is a really bad target for barnes
Played 2 games, got barnes in opening both times and drew a eternal servitude by turn 4/5. Both barnes pulled out Y'shaarj, hilarity ensued.
What do you think about replacing one Free From Amber with Cairne Bloodhoof? It's not uncommon to just get a vanilla 8/8 or worse with Free From Amber. You get better odds to not pull Barnes when you don't get him early. And occasionally you have something to play on turn 6. You usually lose game if you get Barnes from Shadow Essence.
I'm running it with Cairne Bloodhoof instead of a second Dragonfire Potion and Alexstrasza instead of Ysera, since I'm missing these cards. Cairne is a nice drop for Barnes since it leaves you a Baine Bloodhoof on the board. Both cards are occasionally great but sometimes also useless...
Hey man,
I tried your deck out a few days ago and finally came around to make a guide on it. Congratulations on the build it is working so smoothly, as long as your starting hand is not too crowded with cards for the late game. These were literally the only defeats I got! =)

With all respect to the deck creator, I'm not too sure I like this type of deck becoming popular. Might be a fun meme deck but if something like this ever becomes high tier it's going to be very frustrating to play against. General consensus seems to be that an RNG-fest is not a good thing. Flip a coin for an early Barnes or a good token spell to win or lose. Drop a full sized Ysera or something on turn 4 and the game is usually over. Doesn't make it a lot better than quest rogue in a way...
Except the deck isn't really "RNG" based. He is setting up for any of those minions to come out and doesn't really care which one it is. Bringing them back from the discard pile is using discovery but again it's controlled. You have to play very carefully or you can end up messing up the entire synergy of the deck by putting targets in the discard pile that you don't ever want to bring back. I hope a deck like this DOES make it's way into the competitive meta because it's certainly not like the straight aggro/control decks we see.
Kill me.... FINALLY got barnes and the mulligan the other 3
