I cant wait for Raza to rotate, I hate that deck so much. I sometimes play it too, but that deck is the most unfun deck I have used in HS, waiting to draw two cards is just stupid. Even playing against quest mage is more fun than this.

sadly, i enjoy playing wild, and it's forever fucked by the priests
Raza Priest isn't very strong any more. And certianly isn't as cancerous to the state of the meta as CubeLock or Aggro Priest currently are (the two most boring and infuriating decks to play against).
Anyone who is still moaning abiout Highlander Priest these days are probabyl just still butthurt about the previous expansion - or have been living under a rock since December. Maybe it's that...?
I disagree. It's a very strong deck, but on average performs poorly because it requires thinking multiple steps ahead to make it work well.
In short, it's exactly what the Hearthstone developers want, a deck that rewards skilled play with a much higher win rate than average.
In before the comments about how much skill this deck actually requires... XD Pass, pass,card draw, card draw, Raza. Card draw, card draw, Anduin Machine gun, Machine Gun.. Velen, Mind Blast... gg

Much game, very skill. :-P
The "skill" required by this deck is to draw RAZA and ANDUIN on time .
Just LOL. Raza-anduin-kazakus-velen + any random package (card draw, dragons, keleseth...) is the most OP deck right now. It has good chances vs any deck and destroys a big group of them. You need to tech vs any deck because you face it a lot? Easy, just swap a pair of cards for tech and continue smashing oponents.

OK, so why do some players achieve 60% win rates over the long run with the deck when the average is about 51%?
The skill is knowing when to prioritize holding responsive cards over card draw to survive vs. faster decks, and what to go fishing for with the Discover mechanic. Done right, it often doesn't matter how late you draw Raza and Anduin.

The deck has a fairly large room for improvement, no doubt. But you can achieve WAY more than 51% by just auto piloting it, assuming you are halfway experienced with combo decks in general. And by the way, drawing raza on 5 and anduin on 8 means you just win the game on the spot in 90% of scenarios. It is true that a good player will be able to navigate games where he doesn't draw them on time better, but there really isn't much you can do when one or both cards are at the bottom of your deck.
Now, let's be real here. The deck is fun to play, and people are free to play it as long as blizzard allows them to do so, but it needs a nerf BADLY, not just for the sake of standard, but wild too(the deck is somehow even more broken in wild, due to the existence of cards like lightbomb, reno jackson and brann+kazakkus).
Disclaimer: I currently main Highlander priest, played it until rank 4 last season and got to legend with it a couple of months back.
