Thanks for all the tips. I think you made some great points. I am running deathrattle version. And as you mentioned, I am running Prophet Velen without Mind Blast. I can see how this is less than optimal. Here's the deck I am using. Any suggestions to make space? Should I switch out Mass Dispel for Silence. I like the card draw....

hey, thanks for the good word, in your particular deck i think you could trim cabal shadow priest for more card draw, in the forn of gnomish inventor for ex., and mistress of mixtures could be eliminated for mind blast, as it would give you a one less bad target for n'zoth and priest tends to stay afloat without her anyways, and this way you know you have an out even if you are coming down to the last card and your opponent is at 30 health still

What about Lich King or Ysera? Sure they cost more, but they give much better value cards.

I'm surprised there aren't something like 10 different guys in here trying to tell you how good their Dragon N'zoth Quest Razakus list is

Priest was my first legend class and I've been playing mostly Razakus since I got tired of druid this expansion. Your post is exactly everything I would say about the archtype if I bothered to write on it. Well done :)

reason i try to stay away from those, is because if you draw them early they might really hurt your game. the deck is pretty much made up of barebone necessities of the win condition, board clears, and card draw right now. changing anything out to include cards that out value the opponent would have to be reflected in the entire deck, i.e. a better curve, minions to stand up to midrange/aggro game, skulking geist to make sure jade druid isn't an auto concede since we are playing midrange now, and overall a better consistency deck then we are afforded by Razakus' battlecry conditions.

the way Highlander priest wins is by staying alive long enough to kill your opponent, with absolutely deadly results. the way n'zoth priest wins, even if it includes raza and kazakus, is by outvaluing the opponent. to me, they're 2 completely different game approaches, and mixing them is going to produce worst results then running a single variant in its purified form.

which is better? depends who's stats you read, apparently haha (but imho highlander)
