Hey guys! This is TrAcErHS and I’m back at posting some cool a.s decks! But today it’s going to be a deck of my friend that just got legend from rank 3 with an insane winrate of 76%!!!!

Strategy and Gameplan
All you need is to survive and clear the board frequently until turn 6 if you don't get Barnes early.
Against aggro decks you should start to spam as fast as possible. It doesn’t matter how big your minion is! 1/1 or 5/5. All minions are super valuable in the deck. Lich King and Ysera could give you a great AoE spell to shut down early aggression from opponent and Obsidian Statue has own hard removal ability besides 4 or 8 heal! great tool for you to stand against aggro decks. The tricky ones are Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound and Barnes. Pulling first one out can give you the game and the other one can lose you the game.
Against control decks take your time, move slowly and do not overcommit the board then get rekt by massive AoE cards like Twisting Nether.!
Mulligan Guide
Barnes is a must keep card against all classes and decks. If you get him at start hand better to keep 1 Eternal Servitude too. If you don't get him at start hand then you can keep 1 Shadow Essence against aggro decks and 1 or 2 of them against control decks, because that card is your second "Barnes".
I am not gonna spam same cards, just keep Barnes and if he is missing then keep 1 Shadow Essence against all decks. And mulligan list is mostly for aggressive and tempo decks. Against control decks (if you are sure) always hard mulligan for Barnes.
* Druid: Potion of Madness - Shadow Word: Pain - Shadow Word: Horror
* Hunter: Potion of Madness - Spirit Lash - Shadow Word: Pain
* Mage: Shadow Word: Pain
* Paladin: Potion of Madness - Shadow Word: Pain
* Priest: hard mulligan for Barnes
* Rogue: Silence - Spirit Lash - Shadow Word: Pain
* Shaman: Silence - Shadow Word: Pain - Shadow Word: Horror
* Warlock: Potion of Madness - Shadow Word: Pain
* Warrior: Potion of Madness - Spirit Lash - Shadow Word: Pain

Some people say that this deck is doing bad against Rogue. I don't aggree with that. As you see i only lost 1 game to Miracle Rogue and won 4 game against Keleseth Rogue. This deck has tons of early and mid game removal/AoE which helps you clear the aggressive opponent's board.
Bad Matchups: Weaknesses of the deck are having no super late game win condition. You have to gain board advantage at turn 8-9-10 (if you get 4 drop its game at turn 5 or 6 usually ) then finish opponent with slamming down big threads and smashing his face. So you should win quickly against Jade Druid before going infinite, Kazakus Priest before Prophet Velen slapping your face with 32+ damage and Quest Mage before collecting all pieces of forbidden one and summoning unstoppable EXODIA.
Another weakness is “Dragon” card. We always throw Dragonfire Potion into mid-big boards, BUT what if there are Dragons flying around? That's why Handlock is a bad matchup for this deck. Beside the 2 Twilight Drake they also run 2 Mountain Giant and enough of removal/AoE cards to beat the hell out of us :)
Thanks for the attention! Enjoy the deck :) May the RNG be with you :)
Id need to craft yshaarj, all 6 purle, anduin shadowreaper and many blues. I have 7800dust thats means I can afford the complete deck.
Do you think this deck is still rrally strong for ladder climbing in this season? I normally get around rank8 with my misrange hunter every season but id rly like to get legend at least once!
Tks for feedback!
So I'm currently lacking Y'Shaarj and Shadowreaper.
I can craft 1. Could I cut Shadowreaper? How important is he here, not playing any other priest, so I'd prefer Y'Shaarj incase I ever feel like big druid.
Are you kidding? Y'Shaarj is essential.
Sorry fot the late response I was very busy these couple of days... Yshaarj!! Anduin is not as important as Yshaarj
Since mage and hunter are such a pain how about adding an Eater of Secrets and remove 1 of the healing potions?
That will ruin your barnes and 6 mana spell :) you dont want to pull him out :D
This deck is insane man. Just had a 14 game win streak and went from rank 12 to 7. So many people get mad and leave the game too when you have a turn 6 board with 4+, 9+ mana minions.
Glad to hear it :)
Went from 10 to 5 with a highlander deck and i seemed to hit a wall then tried this deck and went from 5 to 2 and still climbing.. Really nice and fun deck. I run a mass dispell instead of 2 silence and 2 shadow word death instead of holy nova.
Did you make it to legend? :)
I guess I should down vote this deck, because it's winstreaking me like hell and nobody else should use it.
But as it is already out there I can up-vote instead :D
I'm usually not much into ranked as I like priest the most and games take long at priest hadn't that good scores in the past.
But I gave this a try yesterday as I try to finally gather my golden hero and it really surprised me.
With only a few losses I climbed to
121110 today and still no end in sight.I've been up to rank 5 in the past, usually I only play up to 15 to get my golden card.
Yeah this deck is crazy :) this will probably be my last season in hearthstone if they dont balance the game with new patch :( one last legend and i will be done for now
NOT much instruction? If you need more instruction than i gave you about THIS deck then you need more instruction about the game) this is literally the most easiest deck ive built/played for last 4 years
LUL turn 5

Congratz!) Hope you liked it)
wait, why would you just copy that guy NeZoStone's deck and just re-post it?
HE IS NOT JUST THAT GUY TO ME... He is my friend... He is very new to hearthpwn so he doesnt have that much of an audience while i on the other hand already had 3 decks with a lot of viewing and upvotes! I asked him if he wants me to post it to get more views on his side and he said yes pls! Why is that a problem for you huh?
duuuuuuuuuuude
Ez legend with rank 7 to legend!!!
This was my 1th time
Glad you had success with the deck :) keep up
