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.
Seriously loving this deck. Maintains board control so well :)
Went from rank 10 to 7 with this deck in just over an hour. It may not be the optimal deck to play, but it seems effective against the hunter meta of the moment. More importantly: it's just plain fun! There are so many combos you can pull off, you actually have some freedom with how you play - that's refreshing when so many other decks seem to be be built around just spamming face.
I did replace Sylvanas Windrunner with Loatheb though, but only because I don't have that card yet. I'm considering using Ragnaros or Mind Control instead, any thoughts?
You can try Stampeding Kodo to kill the minion rather than take it.. it has a similar effect but it's just not the same
I played a few games with this deck at rank 10 tonight. I'm not super thrilled with it. I won 2 (including totally trouncing a control warrior) and lost 3. I feel like it needs more taunt against aggro and that there are a lot of dead cards. Deathlords can be terrible if not used in the proper situation and Baron Rivendare, Feugen and Stalagg aren't particularly exciting on their own.
Zombie Chow is hilarious when you can Power Word: Shield it and keep it around for like 5 turns taking out minions and then healing right back up. There are other fun combos to be had, but in the end it all comes down to consistency. I'm not convinced that this deck could be a consistent choice for ranking up, especially in the current warrior/hunter climate.
Lost every game I played with this deck....so ehh not impressed. Ok maybe I should of been more informative about my concerns. I apologize to the deck author just seems to me im running out of cards and am getting cleared fast by Shammys, warriors, mages. Rogues not so much came close but still lost.. And I know each deck has a learning curve..so ill just shut up and keep working with it. Once again I apologize to the AUTHOR of this deck for my rash comment
So you're bad and think it is the deck's problem? LOL
If you want to be "impressed" by a deck that you can win with but takes no skill, go back to zoo you scrub.
Lol kids ^^^^^
No need to follow up an non-constructive post with another. Your original post could have been better if you explained the short-comings of the deck to get some help from the author or others.
i have to say the guy has a point. judgeing from your previous post on other decks. it dosent sound like your the best of players. and this deck is a bit complex to pick up and play. while you can do that with the new hunter and zoo deck. this has to be learnt through practice
hi! this look very nice, but i have a question! Can replace Sylvana with 1 mind control?? This worth? Thanks!
most fun deck i played since the beta ended!
Feel like this deck deserves more up votes.
Seriously fun to play and very destructive.
