A TheoryCraft Reno Priest OTK deck. The OTK plan is easy but requires preparation.
Play style
First you want to draw alot of cards with your low drops like Loot Hoarder, Northshire Cleric and Acolyte of Pain can also draw extra cards with Kabal Talonpriest and Wild Pyromancer.
Then play Raza the Chained, Justicar Trueheart and if necessary Emperor Thaurissan. Now for the one turn kill you want to play Auctionmaster Beardo with Embrace the Shadow then pump out spells like Mind Blast, Flash Heal and smorc free hero powers between each spell to his face. You can also combo it with Prophet Velen for some extra damage. This deck can reach insanely high damage, so even Warriors shouldn't be a problem OTK'ing.
I am most interested to see how Kazakus, you will probably find yourself picking Damage to all Minions, Draw cards, Gain X armor and the Deal X damage. 1 mana Deal X damage can also be really good for your OTK since it just doesn't deal damage to his face but also gives you another hero power.
Mulligan guide
coming soon
Cards that didn't make the cut
Entomb, strong card against control decks but way to slow and a dead card against aggressive decks. Steal minions by Pint-Size Potion with [card]Potion of Madness[/card] [card]Cabal Shadow Priest [/card] instead. [card]Potion of Madness[/card] will also be good early game against aggressive decks and it is a spell that can help with the combo!
Purify, really good card and good synergy with Kazakus, and even with Potion of Madness
Cards that can be good
After testing the deck now, there is some cards that you might like in the deck aswell, if you feel like some cards is not working.
Holy Nova is good against aggro and possible jade. Have synergy with Bloodmage Thalnos, Northshire Cleric and can work with Prophet Velen.
Shadow Word: Horror can be good against aggro, even better with Pint-Size Potion
Dragonfire Potion, is bad against dragon decks but is great when you do not play against all the dragon priest, but I feel that this card might be to inconsistent.
eZ legend, if 50 up votes i do mannequin challenge!
Change log
27 November, developed the guide.
28 November, - Thoughtsteal, + Gnomish Inventor, deck will need more draw to get to win condition.
1 December, added Harrison Jones removed Gnomish Inventor. Because of the god Damn aggro pirate warriors.
This reads like you copied the deck list somewhere and then BSed a guide using your own inexperienced knowledge. One of the more glaring examples is:
Silence has never worked with the stealing effects (Potion of Madness and Shadow Madness) and this shows that you haven't played that much priest yourself and possibly haven't even used this deck list at all. Hardly in the position to write a guide.
Proof silence gives back minion:
I saw someone use a similar deck as this, but they included Confessor Paletress as well to combo with Auctionmaster Beardo. Made for difficult game.
Replacement for Prophet Velen?
Honestly, I love playing this deck. Its difficult to play but rewarding to win with. Its all about the cycling!
Closes tab
You steal their minions and use it on them.
Amethis thats exactly how it works bud
No it isn't. Just vsed the inn keeper to be sure. Silencing off the spell effect gives the minion back.
This video proves it too:
I would sit tight and see how this kind of deck performs. Everything is so new, that the top tier decks are still being figured out. The card is an excellent combo piece, but right now, I do not know of any other major deck using it.
Just wanted to brag about using Coldarra Drake with Raza in shadowform.. Soooo epic. Also why not add Garrison Commander as he can be a 1 turn 4-8 damage or heals.
This deck is really bad. You need a perfect draw to make this work and usually you wont get it. This deck takes time before you can make your combo and doesent have tools to deal with big board. Yes, you have auchenai + circle and Yes, you have excavated Evil, IF you draw them. And what if minions have more than 3 or 4 health, you cant really do anything. This deck doesent really have any minions with good body to make good trades. The few minions it has, opponent can remove them easily, since he likely has some removals, beacost this deck doesent have pressure at all. And for combo you need 3 legendarys (4 if we count thaurissan, 5 if counting velen also), Embrace the shadow and puch of random spells, so you can make this combo happen. And you only have one copy of everything.
maybe if you put entomb, holy fire etc you can stay alive longer. But then you need to remove cards from your combo and that makes getting combo even harder.
most combo Otk decks doesent need as many cards to work and most of combo Otk decks also have two copies of everything, except legendaries. Wich means you have higher change to draw the correct cards.
I'm not that lucky as you guys I guess. For me the deck is bad. On EU most decks on ladder are aggro. I have nothing against them. Crafted this deck for like 5000 dust. Deleted. Bye.
Not enough board clear? Kazakus is a 5 mana 4 dmg board clear + more
Deck looks awesome on paper, however, this isn't an easy deck to play, every move counts.
That's how most Reno decks are. You have limited options every turn that require actual thinking. As I saw someone say in a different thread yesterday, Reno decks aren't "throwing down the most obvious card, ending your turn and frothing at the mouth until the next one". Sometimes you have to take 10 damage and bait your opponent into overextending since you might only have 1 board clear left and need to make the most of it.
Don't have Velen. Substitute?
.... That's a joke, right?
Its troll deck right? 8 loses. Wasted dust for nothing. Should remove that pro from his name.
