EDIT: A change that I have been experimenting with that is actually quite good, is to replace the Gluttonous Ooze for a Mind Control Tech. It helps a lot vs aggro as well as jade. Also, as the meta is about 75% priest & druid, there are very few weapons being played.
Hi all! This is my current Highlander Priest that I have been piloting for the last week or so. After achieving legend with this deck, I played it for the first 3 days of the current season and was able to get rank 7 with a 90% win rate. To be exact, the numbers were 19 wins out of 21 games.
This is your standard Highlander Priest deck, however, myself and a friend of mine teched in a few cards to help against the current meta. Here are a few changes and some matchups.
Changes :
Elise the Trailblazer : Can be changed for The Black Knight or Harrison Jones. Another choice would possibly be Lyra the Sunshard. All 3 cards do similar things in the sense that they cause a nice swing and can cause you to turn the game if played in the right position.
The Lich King : Can be replaced with Ysera or Medivh, the Guardian. However, I would recommend crafting The Lich King if you don't have him.
Cairne Bloodhoof : Can be replaced with The Black Knight, or even Bone Drake. Cairne is mostly used for getting a nice big creature that takes multiple cards to remove, but also giving a beautiful N'zoth target. Bone Drake is mostly for those who don't wish to craft Cairne for a single deck, which is completely understandable.
N'Zoth, the Corruptor : Can be replaced with a big threat such as Ysera or Prophet Velen. However, N'zoth is one of the reasons this deck works. If you don't have him, I recommend looking at the Highlander Priest listed on Tempo Storm.
One possible change that I might experiment with, is replacing Bloodmage Thalnos & Spirit Lash for Auchenai Soulpriest & Circle of Healing. I believe that this change would be good vs tempo decks, or slower aggro decks such as hunter.
Match ups : (WIP)
- Druid :
Jade : Jade is possibly the easiest matchup for this deck. Mulligan for early cards like Northshire Cleric and Stonehill Defender. Keeping Raza the Chained is also a good idea if you can. Getting his active off asap is very helpful. Skulking Geist is your bread and butter in this matchup. Get it out as soon as possible to ensure he can't cycle jades. Save your clears for when you need them. Don't use a Shadow Word: Death on a 5/5, if you know he can make a 6/6 and a 7/7 next turn. Save Shadowreaper Anduin for when you can get a big clear and swing the game. Kazakus is going to almost always be used for a 10 cost, and look for polymorph and deal 6 damage. This is your backup board clear.
Aggro : Aggro is one of the more difficult matchups, but if you can handle the early game flood, you should win by 7/8 turns. Mulligan for early removal such as Spirit Lash, Shadow Word: Horror, Potion of Madness, Shadow Word: Pain, and possibly Dragonfire Potion if you feel like it fits with your curve. Kazakus is also a fine keep if you can get him out on 4 and look for a 5 cost potion. 4 damage to all is almost always a board clear vs aggro. Use your AOE conservative if you can. If you can take one more rotation of damage to ensure that you can kill more minions, do it. You're playing a control game, not an HP game. If he doesn't have any flood, you win.
Terrible deck to really try ranking. Fun for a while. Lots of "win more" cards. Getting destroyed even by basic decks.
I'd recommend to give it a try for the laughs, not for serious playing.
You must be joking... Amirite??
Sure, from 15 to legend with this. Good one.
The greed is strong in this one... Good deck im going to give it a try. Have you tried this deck in wild? what about Nexus-Champion Saraad in wild?
Wallet Priest
Very good yes! Still think big priest is better.
well either i need tutoring with this deck or it is just crap nine str8 losses good luck with this deck !!
Hate to burst your bubble, but it's the player not the deck. Could just be your highly unlucky, but I have 4 people on my friendslist who've piloted this to rank 5+
Hate those clickbait Titles...
The only people I can see winning with this deck is a rank ten or under as those are all young geniuses I played five games got smoked five games in a row! Been playing since day one so i am not a newbie rank 13 is myall time best! Im gonna stick with aggro way better win rates!
Please do us all a favor and piss off. Aggro cancer.
youve been playing since day one and your best rank is 13? ive been playing since june and ive made it to 3 lmao
I feel like this deck could really benefit from Barnes, but there may not be enough good pulls for it.. Anyone tried it?
Ran Barnes in the original version of this deck. Unfortunately it mostly pulled vanilla 1/1s. You can definitely have some good moments, but it's not really worth it.
Such a greedy deck... and i love it
how can u be so lucky? this deck has no duplicates and u still had answers in 90% cases? it is ridiculus.
my deck has so many options and draws but i am still addicted to topdecks VS aggro.
i have problem with card draw? Do u guys have the same problem?
nice highlander deck, love it especially because use N'zoth XD
here my 3 games vs priest, mage, and hunter (lot used in the meta) should win vs hunter if he didn't get 2x owl -- enjoy :)

How do you guys handle against arggo decks? im finding it a little bit difficult
I'll be putting up an extensive guide on each matchup tomorrow, but the gist of aggro is this;
If you see that you're fighting warrior, druid, paladin, or shaman, mulligan for any sort of early removal. Horror, potion of madness, pain, spirit lash, kazakus, stonehill, etc. Be conservative if you can. Don't be afraid to take another rotation of damage if it allows you to kill a bigger board. Oftentimes vs aggro you have to be as greedy as possible in terms of your removal. If you have any specific matchups, feel free to respond to this comment and I'll try to give a detailed response.
