    I wonder why he's not playing crystalline oracle. It's a really solid one drop and in the theme? I get that holy smite fuels Lyra but it makes Elise worse (because of the shadow visions interaction) and doesn't trigger any of the elementals.

      I've used crystalline quite a bit in my attempted priest deathrattle builds and the card is pretty pathetic. The 1/1 body is obviously bad and the cards you get back range from okay to terrible. You don't want to power it up with health boosts and northshire can't get a draw out of it, so it's usually just a waste of a card slot. I'd rather go with a fire fly for more elemental triggering options or a pint size potion. The latter synergizes well with swp, Lyra and especially shadow priest.

        counterpoint: nah

          Oracle suffers in comparison to Babbling Book and Swashburgler for two reasons: Priest hero power doesn't support it as a turn one play and being a deathrattle rather than a battlecry makes it suffer in the late game.

    Raza replacement?

      There's none in a standard Kazakus Priest deck. If I had to find a replacement, I'd try the healing potion I guess. You really need a lot of healing now that Reno's gone

      Or, since you're running Medivh, you could try Holy Fire

    And how is it?

      It's a lot of fun and something refreshing. It's not really better than some other kazakus priest builds. The elementals don't offer too much value, but they perform OK. You can often find a second lyra and have fun with it.

      Is it meta breaking? No. Is it terrible? No. Is it fun? Kinda!

      I ran it from rank 14 to rank 6 and then switched to something else. Games take very long.

    it's way too slow to manage warriors and hunters or jade druid,

    So many things have to happen just right at the right time in order for this to work at all. Can I win with this, can anyone? Sure. You can also just close your eyes and use the deck helper. Or just have it autofill for you. About the same odds. Kaz can be fun. So is Lyra of course... My two cents is there are many better priest decks that will give you a shot better than shear chance.

      For example?
