Hearthpwn

Not raggin' on the person who built THIS deck.  But the encounter changed (I guess the first boss is now a lot harder or has better AI at least, but the big change is that Prince is now vulnerable to insta-kill with sacrificial pact) and what I described above is by FAR the easiest way to beat this encounter now.  That's all I'm sayin.

Don't bother using this deck or any of the others listed on this site.  The best strategy to use is to play Warlock Zoo with Grand Archivist and 2 Demonic Pact.  Just Kill the first chick on turn 7/8 with an archivist in hand (or earlier if you have a pact in hand).  Malchezzar will show up, cast twisting nether, and it'll be your turn.  If you have sacrificial pact, just cast it on him and you win.  If not, play Grand Archivist and you have a 1/3 chance to win (oh yea, make sure the only spell in your deck is sacrificial pact).  This is how you beat him after the "buff".

 Oh, wow... I was there watching when you guys were just 1 game away (a few times?) from legend with Mech Priest!  Looks like things took a turn for the worse after that ,since I see that linked VOD starts at rank 3 :/.  But I'm glad you got back up there, esp with a counter deck you guys created yourself!

For anyone just doing this encounter in late 2018 or 2019, I made a few alterations/updates that allowed a first attempt kill.  May be worth a try if the other one doesn't work for you.  Mine is much less forgiving of your own hp, but as long as you survive with a few hp when you stabilize, you're golden anyway.  I'd suggest swapping the Homonculii out for 2 of those new 2mana 2/4 gnome taunts from the Rasta xpac.  I would have if I gave it a bit more thought, but it worked anyway.

Just in case anyone decides to finally get around to this in 2018 or 2019, here's the list I used.  It should work way better, although it could still be improved.  I tossed this together and it was a joke, but I realize Shaw is probably worse than rhino, and if you have that dude who spawns a 5/5 as his battlecry obv use him (i dusted mine :x ).

Not sure if you want Leeroy over a Highmane though, considering how amazing highmane can be at holding down the board. 

 Old school Leeroy + unleash with hyena, lol.

You think double Rhino is better than 1 Shaw 1 Rhino?  Or is this a "budget" deck?  I'm just looking to make the best aggro/beast hunter deck possible atm...  Rexxar also confuses me a bit. 

I'm going to try your exact version out first, but the changes I have in mind are -1 Rhino -1 Rexxar -1 Baited Arrow +1 Shaw +1 Highmane +1 Leeroy.  

meh. deck doesn't work anymore.  went almost 20 games before seeing my 2nd loss. all ranked games besides 1 casual and 2 brawl (which i never finished cause the damn thing ended).  Then I got back on the ladder after almost 2 days of not really playing and today I am getting the sh*t kicked out of me by every archetype.  Even durdle do-nothing decks like kingsbane who doesnt have any board or more than a  1 power weapon til turn 6, etc.  I guess I got insanely lucky with those games where Hemet was in the top 10-12 cards a lot of the time.  It's simply not realistic, though.  Was a fluke.

May i ask, how do you mulligan this deck, are you going direct for Hemet, Jungle Hunter 

Thank for sharing..

 From my experience playing the deck, basically yea, you do.  I will always mull right for him in just about any non aggro matchup.  If I know I'm up against something like odd paladin or zoo and I have a Pyromancer or spirit link in my hand prior to mulligan I usually would keep that and ship the rest back.  If it's vs. something like Druid tho, I'm always going to want Hemet as a first priority.

This was my very first game with the deck.  Was the first and only game I played in casual mode, as I always do this with odd/combo decks before jumping on ladder, but should give a good general idea of how to play everything out, and it also shows how strong it can be vs odd pally (dude had level up the entire game and never really had a chance to play it).  Also note - I did play the combo minions in order from left to right in this game but in future games I did not and it still works; just make sure you play them in the correct sequence (as Eemphy put it: "Reckless coffin goes boom", lol).

EDIT:  Here's another game (vs. Secret Hunter).  Shows me playing the combo minions with different positioning, just to clarify.  Game got a little hairy at the end when I forgot to hero power heal myself on one late turn and almost died, lol.

Quote from Eemphy >>

Remember it this way: 'Reckless coffin goes boom'.

That is: Play reckless, play coffin, then play the two ticking abominations. It has to be in that order, from left to right across the board.

 Don't think the positioning makes any difference.  I have never paid attention to position and the combo always went off correctly.  Play order definitely does (at least I'm pretty certain it does....but I never tried doing this out of order, heh).

 Oh, I don't take credit for the list.  I got it off hsreplay by sniffing around for high WR decklists.  I should update my post to say that.  I just like to list the decks that do well for me on here, even if it's something someone else built.  I have no clue who originally tuned this list or I would thank them.  I am glad you are doing well with it, though.

As for your success with the deck, I'm not surprised.  It just seems incredibly good, and not only "in the current meta".  It seems to be able to beat just about any archetype.  I played 4 more games with it today and won every game, with 3 of them feeling like complete free wins.  The 4th was one of only types of games that can get hairy, which for me are games vs Zoo (or zoo-type aggro - odd paladin is easier since basically everything has 1hp prior to buffing) where you not only don't get much removal within the first few turns but when your Hemet is also way towards the bottom of the deck.  I started a brawl with the deck and my first game was vs a legend zoo player with a fairly early Keleseth.  I still ended up winning but it was a little scary.  (replay - https://hsreplay.net/replay/BeXfiQeu96xkf8LWkkSEni)

EDIT:  Here's my 2nd game of that same brawl.  Again vs a legend player (legend cardback) but this time playing Quest Rogue.  Rogue usually gives Priest a hard time, but this game just showcases how insanely easy many of the games with this deck are vs slower decks.  Notice my back to back Psychic Scream turns with nothing on board, lol.

https://hsreplay.net/replay/MJWzmPSfeGqWZ449AkyzoD

You could.  Shield Slam is premium removal, though :x..  but I guess there are a lot of ways to fit her in, but honestly the deck feels great as-is.  It's possible Zola would make it better, but I think it might also slow it down for little gain.  But, like I said, I just got back so I haven't had too much time to experiment with all the new cards/lists.

I just wanted to post this as I found it on hsreplay.  If anyone wants to experiment and post results, that'd be cool.  Not sure if I'll have the time to play enough games with an altered ver of this list before the new set/season, tho. 

also, imho, this is not a "get me to rank 5 deck", either.  Not at all.  This would be post-5 at the very least, if not even lower.

Nice deck. Is Gheist necessary?
