Hearthpwn

OVERVIEW:

This deck uses the popular Reno Dragon Priest shell as a backbone for a Control Shadow Priest. Clunky inspire cards such as Kodorider, Nexus-Champion Saraad, and Confessor Paletress are supported by Fencing Coach, Maiden of the Lake, and Raza the Chained to help smooth out the curve. Sir Finley Mrrgglton, Garrison Commander, and Shadowform help shoehorn the deck's inspire cards into one of many different win conditions.

WIN CONDITIONS:

• One Turn Kill

This deck is capable of dealing 28-32 burst damage by using Spawn of Shadows along with Garrison Commander, Finley, and Shadowform after playing Raza. This combo requires many pieces, and this deck has very little draw. More often than not using combo pieces to achieve one of the deck's other win conditions is the correct play. However, even without the full combo, burst damage from Spawn of Shadows can be used to close out games.

• Brann Value

With 15 battlecry cards, Brann Bronzebeard has a plethora of targets to gain value from. Specifically, Kazakus OR Drakonid Operative with Brann is often enough value to win the game on their own versus midrange decks. Add on to that any one of Museum Curator, Netherspite Historian, Jeweled Scarab, or Kabal Courier and you now have enough fuel to go to fatigue with even the slowest decks, save Jade Druid.

• Inspire Board Flood

Probably the easiest and most consistent win condition. Paletress and Kodo Rider combined with Finley, Garrison Commander, or Shadowform often create a do-or-die situation for you opponent.
