Hi, not sure if this belings here or in priest sub forum
playing this silly endless deck hakkar gimik priest deck, and while i acknowledgethe decks bad, ive always been bad at deck building and tend to want too much or commit to a gimik to hard.
Im lookinh for some general tips that i could improve this deck with. Take out something useless? Add more clear? Any tips are great.
Cards that i wont be removing: Hakkar (for obvious reasons), benidictus, the shrines and cloneing gallery (im just having fun with these), awaken the makers and seance
oh zolas a great idea. Gravediggers make sense. Yeah thalnos isnt doing much tbh. Scream is mostly to stop big minions. Maybe ill swap thalnos for silence.
thanks!

If you have a deck idea might as well go full ham on it.
Spirit Lash is a card that never did much for me in a deck like this. It works in decks that amplify it, like with Malygos or Wild Pyromancer, but if you only have Thalnos to boost it, it doesn't do enough.
I know the shrines are on your "keep" list, but I think you should reconsider. You have decent but not insane card draw with this deck, so shuffling in a bunch of 1/1's makes your deck worse. With Benedictus, you're not going to run out of cards anyway.
As for cards to add: second Psychic Scream and Mass Hysteria increase your chances of survival, same for adding a Shadow Word: Death.
For extra memery, add Spiritsinger Umbra: she's great if pulled early by Cloning Gallery.
Da Undatakah could also be worth considering, since you'll likely have played 3 deathrattles by turn 8. If you're afraid the deck becomes too top-heavy, maybe trade in one Obsidian Statue.
Hi there! Haven't tested your deck, but my best guess would be to cut 1 Seance and 1 Obsidian Statue. These 2 cards will probably be really cluncky and very often just rot in your hand. You could then add 1 Mass Hysteria and 1 Shadow Visions - shadow visions CAN get you a seance if you want it, but is just more flexible. In my book the identity and potential of the deck stays intact. Other than that: good job - looks pretty funny ^^.
@batterystaple. Yeah i think i will cut spirit lash and thalnos for mass hysteria. The shrines are more for fun, never used then before. Ill prob cut them when i want to start winning.
Swapping an undertaker could be a good call. And definatly need a death.
Thanks for the input!

I would consider dropping some of the weaker minions from your deck. You've got the possibility to summon about 16-18 deathrattle minions, including the 4 from Twilight's Call. I haven't factored in Zerek's Cloning Gallery here because it is a dice roll anyway. But if all goes right, that card is an instant quest completion.
Crystalline Oracle and Tortollan Shellraiser are on my hit list for this, since, for the first one you're not a full-blown thief priest and you've got enough deck refill with Archbishop Benedictus, and for the second one, there's enough ways in the metagame to ensure that the deathrattle doesn't benefit a minion. Hakkar, the Soulflayer is clearly the win condition, so I would have fewer draw engines. Dead Ringer has the off-chance of tutoring Hakkar from your deck early, so I would keep those and drop the two Loot Hoarder. I concur with the suggestions to drop the second copy of Obsidian Statue. There are probably better cards to include than Rotten Applebaum, but I can't think of any at the moment.
Replace these cards with more solid board clears and you'll be fine. I would consider adding an Eternal Servitude or two, since you will now have enough big minions in your resurrection pool for a solid board swing.
@Sundarkssh thats a fair point actually they serve no purpose. I admit the loot hoarders are my weakness as i put them in every deck XD. Eternal sevitudes a good call might try that out.
THanks very much!

If you're going to use Cloning Gallery for quest completion as sundarkssh suggested, it may be a good idea to include a second Shadow Visions, to make sure you'll have Cloning Gallery by turn 9. And there are enough other useful targets for it if you already have Gallery in your hand.

Have you tried Princess Talanji ? I would definitely add more removal too
Spirit lash to Zola and maybe hoarders to shallow gravediggers or cubes. Possible alsaw thalnos + psychic scream to shadow visions
legit forgot about her, yeah Ill throw her into try!

gallery and archbishop? trash for a hakkar deck. You only need to complete quest and seance amara.
Cutting shadow essence would fine here.
