So I have always liked playing different types of OTK decks and I have been experimenting a bit with priest, after a couple of different versions of different combos i landed in to this deck which took me from rank 10-5 quickly and I am yet to climb further (edit: just reached rank 4).
Though the concept of the deck diden't come out of the blue but rather evolved while experimentering. I started off playing an OTK deck with Stormwind Knight faceless. But while playing the deck i realized in one of the matchups that i could faceles a stolen card with potion of madnes and the faceles then got charge. I tweked and added cards that synergyzed around the combo as well as bringing a lot of card draw to the deck and this deck surged.
So in case you haven't figured the combo its based on buffing enemy minions with high base health with more health then potion of madnes or pint and then madnes and then inner fire you can also faceles afterward for dubbel the damage. Not all combo pieces are needed and emperor is not really needed either and the combo is mostly only used against control decks. The deck fairs well against agro decks also though you dont try to ensamble the OTK.
Matchups
Against control: The OTK is usually a must. Your main objective is to cycle your cards until you have ensambled enough pieces, be mindful of using pint size to remov with horror or cabal since you might have to draw the second one or try to find a 2 or less atack target. Doomsayer make usually an excellent target since your opponent will play them on a clear board.
Renolock: Mulligan for greedy card draw. loot hoarder, acolyte of pain, nortshire clearic. Your oponent wont interact much with the board until turn 4-5. Hopefully you have a shadow word death in case of giant. Otherwise the matchup revolves around keeping his board under control while cycling. Keep in mind that the combos strenght depends on oposing minions health and renolock doesen't exactly stay at 30 health. You might have lethal before you think you do. Twilight drake and doomsayer are excellent targets.
Vod:
Renopriest: Relatively easy matchup, the presure is lower then dragonpriest and you can allow yourself to play greedy (waiting one turn extra before board clear).
Dragonpriest: Though they usually have a strong early game their minions dont really deal much damage which allows you to pass heal a couple of turns if needed. Be careful with acolyte of pain you do want to draw and not get it shadow word pain or bookwyrmed. You may play this matchup without the OTK though its slightly risky. Dragonpriest have no removal for 4 atack minion hence you can create a high haalth minion and leave the inner fire for the moment you have lethal. Drakonid operativ is your liability as it might reveal your combo or give them inner fire or pintsize to kill your high health minion but also grant them unexpected burst since they otherwise dont posses it. Your removal shadow word horror + pintsize removes anything they can play so let them overcommit to the board believing they are safe with high health minions and dragons.
Against midrange: This match up depends on your opponents ability to remove. You will usually be dead by the point you have a 28 or more damage combo hence its preferable to buff up one of your own minions. Though never if your oponent might have hard removal such as sap or hex. If im uncertain against removal i tend to buff a priest of the feast together with a faceless. Though if I have almost OTK i will wait and stale the game.
Against agro: Forget about the OTK and value (play northsire into a 3/2 for exapmple). Turn 1-3 are about surviving if you can survive withough having taken to much damage and without a disatrous board you can usually seal the game simply by playing a priest of the feast or brute + power word shield or divine spirit. Agro decks have no hard and this is the main advantage you have.
Have a look at the clip bellow includes some wins and loses at rank 5 (god dammit the last match up, watch it... it's so frustrating!). I will be upploading another video with climb to rank 4 after christmas.
I will edit this post and might include a guide and more if it gets upvoted.
Deck edit 1.1:
- 2 second rate bruiser

+ 1 shadow madnes
+ 1confuse
+ 2 cabal talon pritest
+ 1 doom sayer
Deck edit 1.0:
- 1 shadow word pain
- 1 holy fire
+ 2 second-rate bruiser
this deck has the right idea...but replace faceless with djinni and you are good to go.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definetly try it. Djini has more flexibility in some scenarios though for the otk djini will only be better as long as you steal a minion with less then 5 health.
the thing with faceless is, if you don't manage to OTK the opponent, he has a buffed up minion...with djinni, you can buff your minions instead.
also, how do you manage against SMORC decks and rogues? i get wrecked unless i switch in some more healing / taunt.
Anything substitutes for Shadow Word: Horror ?
Confuse, Excavated Evil
Stranglethorn Tiger could be useful...
I could not craft Cabal Shadow Priest x2 or Wild Pyromancer x2 so I changed those to my noob f2p Lightspawn x2 and Kabal Talonpriest x2. Deck is a blast to play ;)
Ok, this deck is like super hard to play...
I had only few dust and wasted them for that :(
You should definetly try it. I would like to but dont have the dust to carft confuse. It synergizes with pint size and its a 2 mana inner fire for OTK. Let me know how it work.
Hi Sueco,
I Iove to play OTK Priest and usually with the mind blast combo. Your deck is really cool and is so meme. Thumbs up!
This deck is amazing! But a guide would be much appreciated.

Haven't had that much fun in a while now. Thanks so much!
I did not like the pyros in the list. To few spells to make them go off and to often i had to many dead cards.
I feel, as there are 2 inner fires in the deck that substituted for early removal and a dirty rat, which i am still debating if I really need it, plus a shadow madness as it ads a little more consistency and allows you to steal even bigger minions. So fare im blown away with my results. 11/1 currently rank 7 with 3 stars, 92% win rate currently.
This is the list i came up with.
Inner Fire x 2
Northshire Cleric x 2
Pint-Size Potion x 2
Potion of Madness x 2
Power Word: Shield x 2
Dirty Rat
Divine Spirit x 2
Loot Hoarder x 2
Acolyte of Pain x 2
Kabal Talonpriest x 2
Shadow Word: Death x 2
Priest of the Feast x 2
Shadow Madness
Shadow Word: Horror
Faceless Manipulator
Holy Nova
Second-Rate Bruiser x 2
Cabal Shadow Priest
Still feel there could be a even better list out there. Anyway let me know what you guys think.
I felt the same way about the deck, so I am going to try your list. The only card I don't have is Dirty Rat and I don't have the dust to craft it, I don't really know what to replace it with because I am not super experienced in deck building. If you have any suggestions please let me know!
Edit: I ended up putting in a Shadow Word: Pain instead of dirty rat, it does well against Dragon Priest and that seems to be what I get matched against most
Thaurissan feels like a win more card and just adds to inconsistency. However, im not playing this deck currently. Im still stuck in rank 15ish hell and cant get past the "face is the place" type of players with this deck.
Also im still not sure if i want to keep the dirty rat in the deck. What is your experience with the deck currently?
Not easy to play but a lot of fun!
agree, i watched the replays and i see plenty of mistakes I make, would love to se a really good player play the deck :)
It is better to put Dirty Rat in this desk.
I've just started playing with this deck and feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. I really like how you've taken situational cards like Pint-Size Potion and Potion of Madness and enabled them to be used in multiple situations. It really helps prevent your hand from being clogged up with these cards and keeps the deck performing a bit more consistently. I play a lot of Priest and this deck will definitely be part of my rotation for the near future!
Hi,
as for with all combo decks there is no replacement for thaurissan though this combo deck does not need him to otk. So i would just replace him with some good card for the meta depending if you encounter agro decks or control etc.
You can't craft him anyway. You can only get him via purchasing the first wing of Blackrock Mountain.
