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 :)
Anduin is very useful against Shaman, Jade druid and mirror while silence sometimes helps with that outrageous Van Cleef or something crazy out of evolve :)
1 amber 1 spirit lash 1 shadow word death 2 healing potions 1 potion of madness no holy smite :) there you go
YES I totally understand you but it’s Hearthstone... No one uses fun decks in ladder unfortunately :(
Sharee where?
The death knight should be in this deck, it often cloggs up your hand, when you main concern is getting BIG on the board.
I use the death knight in another version! Too many aggro decks out there so most of the time Anduin is a dead card in your hand
Lmao I wonder if he got my sarcasm or not :) Death Knight is over there lol
Glad to hear that ypu like it :) an upvote would help so much and a share ;) Keep us updated on your records with the deck! Cheers mate!
THE GUIDE ARRIVED BOYS!!!!
Why only one Shadow Word: Death? Been playing a different big priest deck for some time now with mixed results. Will give it a shot and let you know!
It’s start of the season so not much of a control decks on ladder :) 99% are aggro players so most of the time death is useless card in your hand :) Sure! I’ll be waiting for the results bro)
Share a mulligen guide if you got the time.
At the moment I’m at work :) I’ll share the guide as soon as I get the time :) Saturday and Sunday are my day offs so :)
That’s a huge MISSUNDERSTANDING of the deck!!! You can win without barnes turn 4! Mulligan guide is needed but unfortunately I have no time atm!
Thats interesting, i'm expecting Barnes on all hands regardless. Its the other cards I thought would depend on which class you are against.
YUP thats correct :) Barnes turn 4 wouldnt hurt you but you can still win without him :)
I did this at rank 1 just for fun and went 0-11, it doesnt work and the probabilities are against you.
Stop it Garrosh, you're not a priest!
