Resurrection priest focused on cloning Zerek, Master Cloner as well as resurrecting him and other valuable minions.  

The strong combos in the deck are:

  • Velen pulled by Jepetto combined with Archmage Vargoth and Mind blast
  • Archmage Vargoth and Power Word: Replicate creating 2 5/5 copies of Vargoth
  • Mass Resurrection reviving Archmage Vargoth who will cast it again resurrecting more things
  • Zerek being copied effects like Vivid Nightmare as well as Shadowy Figure + buff to resurrect as a full 5/5 Zerek.

There’s 8 spells that can be played on Zerek to trigger his cloning effect: PW:Shield, Seance, Vivid Nightmare, and PW: Replicate.  

Jepetto has multiple valuable targets to draw such as Zerek, Velen, Archmage Vargoth and Catrina.  These 1 mana versions should work well with the cloning effects as well as potentially providing a lot of burst damage if Velen is pulled.

Control tools like Forbidden Words, SW:Death, Mass Hysteria and Convincing Infiltrator should help keep boards under control. Convincing Infiltrator can also be a target of the duplicating effects to help manage boards.

Dead Ringers are at risk of being the ones that get resurrected, but they are also useful for thinning the deck of minions by tutoring up the Infiltrators, Shadowy Figures and Zerek so that Jepetto more consistently hits things like Velen.

If more cloning is desired, Faceless Manipulator could be included and is a decent pull off Jepetto.

If more survivability is needed, minions that also make good resurrect targets are Zilliax, Damaged Stegotron, Witchwood Grizzly, and Tunnel Blaster. Divine Hymn could also be a consideration and combos well with Archmage Vargoth and Velen for a burst of healing.

    Malygos with Smites is also a possible include, perhaps removing the Dead Ringers to ensure the resurrect pool is only high value targets. It would hurt the draw potential, but the high roll of Jepetto hitting Malygos and Velen might be worth it since you would now have several ways to potentially boost the Mind Blast damage.
