I've been trying to push for an OTK Priest deck ever since the reveal of Flash Heal. Well, my friends, the day has finally arrived for this deck to shine.
Just to make things easier for me, I'm going to refer to the core cards by some abbreviations:
Prophet Velen = PV
Embrace the Shadow = EtS
Flash Heal = FH
Mind Blast = MB
Emperor Thaurissan = ET
How does the deck work?
The main idea of the deck is to draw. And draw. And draw. You want to keep drawing cards because, well, the faster you get ET, the faster you can kill your opponent. Now, you also have to make sure you don't die first, which is why you have cards like Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing, Wild Pyromancer and Excavated Evil.
You want to play ET when you have AT LEAST 3 OR 4 of the following cards: PV, FH, MB, or EtS. If you have 2 MB in your hand, you need to get ET to hit 4 cards. Otherwise, hitting 3 cards will be enough.
Once ET hits the correct amount of cards, you just need to keep drawing until you get the cards you need to kill your opponent from full.
Why is -this card- in the deck?
- Circle of Healing - Board clear with Auchenai/EtS, card draw with Cleric, and an activator for Wild Pyro.
- Forbidden Shaping - Filler for empty late-game turns and an activator for Wild Pyro.
- Flash Heal - Staple for the combo. You can use one for something else, but if you do, you must not use MB or FH again unless it's for the combo.
- Holy Smite - Small removal, an activator for Wild Pyro, and extra damage with PV.
- Power Word: Shield - Card draw by itself and an activator for Wild Pyro.
- Northshire Cleric - Good stats to contest aggro and card draw.
- Embrace the Shadow - Staple for the combo. You can use one for something else, but if you do, you must not use your other EtS unless it's for the combo.
- Mind Blast - Staple for the combo. You can use one for something else, but if you do, you must not use your other MB unless it's for the combo.
- Shadow Word: Pain - Removal and an activator for Wild Pyro.
- Loot Hoarder - Small mana investment that can potentially kill something to keep cycling your deck.
- Bloodmage Thalnos - Small mana investment to keep cycling your deck that also buffs your damaging spells to help clear the board or squeeze in an earlier lethal.
- Wild Pyromancer - Works with spells to clear the board, activate Acolyte, or damage Cleric to follow up with heals.
- Shadow Word: Death - Removal and an activator for Wild Pyro.
- Acolyte of Pain - Card draw that works with Wild Pyro.
- Auchenai Soulpriest - Removal with Circle and can be used in rare cases for the combo.
- Excavated Evil - Board clear and delays your opponent from drawing their own cards.
- Emperor Thaurissan - Staple for the combo. You must play this only when you have the right cards in your hand for the combo.
- Prophet Velen - Staple for the combo.
Other things:
- If you manage to get Thaurissan to hit PV, both FH, MB, and Auchenai, that's another 10 mana 30 damage combo.

So how is this deck...? Just got Phrophet Velen
What about Alex in this deck?
Alex could work... I'll mess around with adding her and see how it goes
C'Thun Druid: Fairly difficult matchup. You just need to be very greedy with Auchenai + Circle, and you NEED to hard mulligan for card draw cards.
C'Thun Priest: Among the top hardest matchups. Most priest C'Thun cards (or even priest cards in general) won't die to Wild Pyro shenanigans or Auchenai + Circle. You wanna be able to get Wild Pyro and card draw in the mulligan because the only way you'll win this is by getting the combo very VERY early.
Shield Paladin: Fairly easy matchup. Just get Wild Pyro, Acolyte, or Cleric in your hand and you're all set.
Dragon Decks: 50/50 matchup. Save your Deaths for the big dragons and don't be too greedy on the board, since they'll just clear it with Equality + Pyro.
Why one loot hoarder and two acolyte? I'm currently running a very similar version (slightly less focused on the mega combo) with the opposite (2x hoarder 1x acolyte). Are you comboing pyro enough to make this worth it against like zoo?
Acolyte has potential for being able to draw more than one card, where its only a 1 mana difference from Hoarder. And honestly, I believe that one of this deck's best matchups is against zoo, so adjusting a card for that deck seems unnecessary.
That's too slow; the turn you play Velen is the turn your opponent should be dead.
is there a reason you arent using thalnos to replace one of the loot hoarders?
I don't have him and I don't want to craft him haha. But he would be an objectively better replacement for one Loot Hoarder, I agree.
I ended up crafting him; he's added to the decklist.
thanks for the decklist btw
im not planning on climbing with it but its fun to blow the FUCK out of people when they arent expecting it because youre playing priest
haha, this deck is very strong i used it to beat my friend uma rk in a tight battle(tight as an 18 yr old xD)
sounds like you are a 15 year old still having wet dreams.
