I've been hearing a lot of frustration from priest players about inadequate control decks in this meta. I'm not normally a priest player but love OTK decks. I've had a ton of fun (and success) lately with my OTK Injured Priest. It's not necessarily a new concept but I've taken a number of strong priest board control and healing tools and thrown in Injured Kvladir and Injured Blademaster as well as an OTK win condition of two Mind Blasts, Prophet Velen and Malygos (potentially subject to removal).

The beauty of this deck is that you can clear early with Auchenai/Circle and Pyromancer + Spells or you can get some nice board presence and/or card draw with your Injured's and Circle. One really cool combo I've been loving lately is using Circle of Healing on damaged minions with Northshire Cleric and Shadowfiend. It can give you a mini-emperor effect, lowering the cost of your key combo pieces. Even Power Word: Shield is a nice play on the fiend for a 3/5 and one reduced card. Regardless, the point in the early game is to survive (fairly easy) and draw a ton of cards to reduce with Emperor Thaurissan.

The COMBO:

It used to be that OTK priest could only pump out around 20 damage with Velen + Mind Blast x2. This would be problematic in this meta as control warriors can jump above 20 easily while Healadins abound in numbers. Keeping someone at 20 health isn't a guarantee anymore. So instead, we have a much stronger combo. If we can get some Thaurissan ticks off, we can do this combo:

Prophet Velen + Embrace the Shadow + Flash Heal + Flash Heal + Mind Blast for a total of 30 damage for 13 mana. With a tick on three cards we can pull this off.

Now this combo won't be necessary for every opponent (zoo, hunter, most rogues, most shamans) as they will already be low on health by the time you pull it off. So sometimes you can use a Flash Heal to keep yourself up instead. If you can get a Malygos to stick on the board for a turn (very likely against aggro if you live that long), you'll be in an even better spot.

Has anyone been playing around with OTK priest? What has your success been like? I'll post my deck as well in case you have some constructive feedback =)

I tried out the version that Trump made, and it's a lot of fun. You don't even need to win with the combo!

Do you mind posting the decklist on here? I'd love to try some more lists.

I'm having trouble actually putting a picture on here, but hopefully that link works. I called it OTK priest based off of Trump. It's pretty close to his deck, there might be some changes. You could also watch his video on youtube, I think it's called Embrace the Exodia. Hope that helps!
