I don't take any credit for this deck!
Zetalot currently plays it on the EU server in top 16 Legend.
I wanted to share this deck with you guys to show you that priest is more than viable with Naxxramas!

I'm sure some people want to know more about this deck. Like basic mulligan strategy and how to play this deck.
Basically you want to mulligan for Undertaker, Zombie Chow, Loot Hoarder and Dark Cultist.
You want a strong turn 1 and turn 2 opener every game. This is deck is all about momentum and not a control deck.
This deck is, like zoo, a minion based control deck. Of course you have some great board clears Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing and Holy Nova but in generel you want to trade favorably with your minions.
The card that seems to give many people who play it the most problems is the Deathlord. Deathlord is NOT a turn 3 card unless you play against an aggro deck. If you play against a control deck you want to use him smart. Play him to protect lethal, your other minions or when you know your opponent has no removal.
Baron Rivendare can be used for some amazing combos in this deck:
- With Auchenai Soulpriest + 2x Zombie Chow + Circle of Healing for 20 damage
- With Dark Cultist for two times 3 Health on your minions
- With Sylvanas Windrunner to steal two minions from your opponent
- With Sludge Belcher to get two token taunts after he dies.
- Or, if you like a challenge, with Deathlord to give your opponent two minions on the board!
Replacements:
A lot of people ask for a replacement for Sylvanas Windrunner. While her effect is unique you can replace her raw stats with Loatheb. Of course Loatheb does have a total different effect but can help you in different situations than Sylvanas Windrunner.
If you need to replace Cairne Bloodhoof i would suggest Argent Commander for good trades or Boulderfist Ogre for a big body.
I dont have x2 Cabals nor a sylvanas. Any replacements?
Passable deck, but its lack of a finishing punch is a large determent
This is not a control deck. You don't have to punch anything. The point is to wear out your opponent with superior and healthier creatures.
Just trash
Why you gotta be so rude?
What are you suppose to do against zoo lock? I'm fighting about 40% zoolock 30% aggro hunter, the hunters are a bit easier but not by much. I notice that the instructions mention deathlord, but the deck shows no actual deathlords in the deck. Would swapping the two injured bladesmen for them be appropriate? I've been searching for a deck that can get me past rank 9 but I keep hitting a wall of zoo lock, dead by turn 7. What to do when they have powerful 2/3 and 3/2 at 1-2 cost usually two every turn past 1?
I highly recommend using 2x Deathlord for the current zoo meta. Its a tempo killer and small minion eater. very few times can a warlock deal with it well/quickly. I run a 9/4 variant with Deathlords in them. i really like how they play.
That's the easiest match up. You had to mulligan for Zombie Chow or Undertaker, but once you got to turn 5/6 it's over. Belcher and Shadow Priest take care of the rest. Turn 4 Soul priest is also good. Turn 3 Cultist is not bad either.
I don't know how this deck will work now that Undertaker can't defend the early game.
LOL
Yup, never go full Northshire. :)
Another prime example of this...at around 7:00 you can actually FEEL the smile on my face growing :D

Aaaand this happened
I don't have Cabal Shadow Priest and i'm thinking replacing it with Baron Geddon and Hogger.What do you think about that?
What do you suggest instead to Cabal Shadow Priest?
This is what I want to know about.
Maybe a Shadow Madness
I'm playing something similar to this. Climbed from rank 15 to 6 so far.
Get rid of Rivendare and the defender of argus, add Kel Thusad and a second shadow word death.
You need the hard removal from shadow word death, one is not enough. and Kel Thusad is amazing if used correctly. I think a much better card than Rivendare
honestly, even at awful ranks this deck stalls out every goddamn game, what are the win conditions for this, you have to draw the perfect undertaker opening and hope the opponent has zero answers?
Horrendous deck, doesn't beat anything
If you had every legendary, would you have traded one of the current cards with one of them?
