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)

Good guys, leave a subscribe for them :)
I put a lot of efford in this guide, so i would really appreciate an upvote! Thanks for reading and have fun with this awesome deck!
PS: Don't be mad at me if you get your 5/5 Barnes out NotLikeThis
EDITS:
-1 Holy Fire / +1 Pint-Size Potion
-2 Spirit Lash / +2 Free From Amber
-1 Free From Amber / +1 Silence
I like more mind vision. is better against aggro and has more synergy with shadow reaper anduin
Pretty cool deck. I dont have shadowreaper so I replaced with Velen and put in x2 mind blast and its working pretty well
I replaced Ysera (don't have it) with Free From Amber and after playing around 15 games I see why it was a bad idea. The chance of Shadow Essence Barnes is almost 100% and I'm constantly drawing all my big minions before turn 6 from my deck and then there is no target for Barnes, Shadow Essence or Y'shaarj. Still it's a fun deck, because most of the time you have enough removal to start playing your Ambers and minions on turn 8.
not in the slightest. The entire deck is built around barnsing out a 9 or 10 drop and then spending 4 more mana to reanimate it. If a deck says you should hard mulligan for a card, its very likely irreplacable
I have a question about playing Free From Amber. Is there a specific manna amount you want to try to play it at? As in, never for less than 5? 6? Or is it just entirely subjective to your current game?
Edit: I meant to link Forbidden Shaping, not Free From Amber.
My mistake, I linked the wrong card. I meant to ask, what is the ideal amount of mana to spend on playing Forbidden Shaping?
I think it should be 8 or 9; 10 cost cards often are battle cries like n'zoth, cthum, yogg saron OR you could get lucky and summon another y'shaarj :P
Love this deck! First time hitting legend. I took out Free from Amber and replaced it with thought steal. It helped get my over the finish line and push past rank 3.
Tried this deck, it seems too slow vs Exodia Mages, Maybe replace Holy Smite by Eater of Secrets? I dont really see the purpose of it in the deck, unless someone can enlighten me on the synergy of this card in the deck.
As far as I'm aware, Holy Smite is used as more early minion removal (in addition to the Shadow Word Pains') as this deck does take a bit to start doing its thing OR as another cheap spell to trigger your Shadowreaper Anduin Hero Power if you need it.
Not too sure on what else it would be included for, I'm sure you'll be ok swapping it out but just remember, adding in other creatures does lower the high impact of Barnes and Shadow Essence. Considering Eater of Secrets has a battlecry effect, it wont do much for you being summoned any other way. It's kind of a feel bad moment when you get that off of Barnes instead of Yshaarj, Lich King, etc.
I'm not advising you to NOT do it, just making sure all the info is out there :) Enjoy the deck though!
I played a lot of Highlander Priest and having a 1 mana spell to trigger Shadowanduin hero power recast is fine but not really in this deck (at least in my opinion). I played a game vs an Exodia mage, beat him on turn 8 with lucky summon from Shadow Essence and eating away his Ice Block and Ice Barrier
This deck sure is something! I love these kind of high-roll decks because you're either just demolishing your opponents or you're just sitting there looking at the screen thinking why me! Well, at least when I played the deck.
The only problem I found with the deck, and it's not even a real problem, is that against other control match ups, if they're not playing minions and you don't draw barnes, you're just not doing anything till maybe turn 6 if you get a Shadow Essence and that means these games take a long time. However, the deck I think has to be this way since if you add minions to have more earlier game then that makes Barnes and shadow essence less impactful, again, this is just my opinion from what happened with my run through with the deck.
This deck is still really fun though and I'm definitely gonna be playing it!
Here's a video of the deck being played against Handlock and the Mirror match if you want to see more gameplay. :)
This deck is pretty much a rip off from ThijsNL his deck that he was using in his stream, to bad u take the credit.
What is Shadowreaper Anduin for? I have the card but have yet to find a time to play it.
Shadow essence is fine tuned to summon Barnes at least 70% of the time. At least.
is ysera replaceable ? i have every single card but her any suggestions ? ty <3
i reach legend with this :)
hi i want to try this deck but i dont have ysharj and if i craft t its gonna rotate out soon so can you give a replacement thanks
I might get super unlucky playing this deck but god is it fun to play. Nothing like turn 4 Barnes into Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound into Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound
So far, I have a 74% win rate with this deck, 11-4. 100% against druid which is all that matters to me
