Mulligan Guide

General

Always keep quest even vs aggro. Keep kazakus and sometimes raza, but only both vs control.

Vs. Aggro

Keep Quest. You can consider to keep PWS if you have radiant elemental or Cleric. Potion of madness and spirit lash is expected to be great vs most aggro that will come. Crystalline oracle is meh, but gives you quest progression and something for aggro to trade into. Happy ghoul should be amazing.

Vs. Control

Usually we still want to go for early game, but Kazakus and Raza are just so strong to get of early that you should usually keep them. I think Shadowreaper Anduins is such a slow play, especially if you haven't played Raza yet, that i don't think its worth keeping in starting hand even in a control matchup.

Deck Description

Mulligans:

Aggro: Awaken the Makers Northshire Cleric, Crystalline Oracle, Potion of Madness, Radiant Elemental, Spirit Lash, Happy Ghoul and Kazakus

If you have Radiant Elemental you should keep Power Word: Shield, but only then.

Control: Awaken the Makers Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield,Crystalline Oracle, Radiant Elemental, Happy Ghoul, Kazakus and Raza the Chained.

Deck description:

A Hilander Quest priest that is based on a cardgenerating and value over dragon synergies. Uses Spirit Lash and Happy Ghoul to strenghten the early game, Shallow Gravedigger for more quest progression and Bone Drake for high value card generation. Embrace Darkness is added for a value removal and Obsidian Statue to make N'Zoth, the Corruptor more playable (Tortollan Shellraiser, still works ok, but Obsidian Statue is just so much better). Shadowreaper Anduin works as an additional board clear, and is also great if you have allready played Raza the Chained. Arfus is a uncertain card, but the strenght of the DK cards + the value of getting another DK card with n'zot, should put him over the top, one could consider changing this for a stronger anti aggro card.

You might want to switch Archbishop Benedictus for The Lich King or more defensive tools depending on the meta. Maybe also Skulking Geist if there is still a lot of jade druid around after new exp.A lot of the control matchups this deck will go for fatigue, so Archbishop Benedictus should actually work, just do not deactivate raza and/kazakus with him. No need too play him before super late game if you dont have too, anything above 5 cards from him would put you in a great place, and you do NOT want to delude your deck with cards from another deck for unsynergetic draws and hilander deactivation.
