    Can someone explain the win condition? I alway make it to the final cards, but not sure how to play to guarantee the win

    1. Prood

      You play reckless experimenter, coffin crasher, ticking abomination ticking abomination with Mecha’thun in hand in that order, end turn and you win

      1. Myself

        Doesn´t work. Reckless Experimenter has 6 life, he do not die with Ticking Abomination.

        1. Myself

          My bad, you have to play both abomination.

    2. Benou

      Reckless --> coffin --> Abo*2 --> done (with c'thun in hand and nothing left in the deck.

      Just tempo with ur spell, vision for scream, cleric+shield+pyro+circle for mass drop (with elem if u can)

      Hemet to clean deck (best before drop with ur board)

      Work well against control deck, 90% winrate for me. Against aggro, im +-50%

    3. Mr Bump

      Yeah, what Prood said - the deathrattle minions die in the order you play them, so the coffin crasher summons Mecha'Thun and then the Tickings kill him.

  2. Moltar

    Seems like a lot all-in, is this deck reliable?

    1. Edward s Anderson

      I've done great with it so far

    2. Marxx

      If you get Hemet early enough, you can consistently win by turn 10 or 11. Even if you don’t get Hemet until much later, incredible drawing power has still won me many games. Interesting and fun drawing management is required, and being able to get around curveballs. So it’s fun to play, but it must be frustrating to play against. Sometimes turns 8, 9,10 go psychic scream, psychic scream and heal, combo and win. Not that interactive when the draws hit, not much you can do. However, interesting specific interactions, like Gnomeferatu hoarding could make it fun to play against.

    What if you play a Gnomeferatu after the Priest plays Hemet to burn one of their win condition minions? Or play a mana wraith once they have the win condition cards ready to play?

    I've played Savjz version of the same combo, but with quest, and so far have done really well and gone from rank 3 to 1. The real problem is that if people figure this out, it is possible to ruin the combo with gnomeferatu after you play Hemet, new warlock spell that turns minion in hand to daemon, or for mages to play explosive runes. I think people just have not seen this on ladder yet, so they dont know whats coming

    Been playing this without psychic scream and instead 2 silence.
    Would crafting psychic scream up the chance of winning?

    1. nicodiangelo

      Absolutely. Psychic Scream is one of the best Priest cards in Hearthstone and an incredibly powerful removal. Usually I wouldn't recommend crafting epic class cards unless you plan on building 2 or more decks for that class, but Psychic Scream is worth crafting even if you only have one Priest deck.

    2. Best Austria mid

      Yes 1000 Times netter

  6. Doomsday012

    Usually not a fan of OTK decks but this one is definitely fun to play. No worrying about how much armor they built up or defenders they have hanging around. Gnomeferatu is definitely going to be an issue so play the heck out of this deck until people realize it is a thing.

  7. usebluemagic

    really dont like circle of healing... pref mass dispell

  8. Lunachic

    I have had more of a success rate with Mecha'thun Priest vs. the Druid and Shaman version. Psychic Scream has been phenomenal with handling all the magnetic minions and murlocs as well as keeping Big Druids at bay. Personally, I think this deck works best without having to get to fatigue like the druid or having your 1 cost cards destroyed by Geist. With that being said, Gnomeferatu and Wraith could shit on your parade, especially after you play Hemet. The deck is still pretty new and a lot of people haven't figured it out yet. I took out Bloodmage Thalnos and put in Shadow Word: Pain just for a little back up until I get to 7 mana for Psychic Scream.

  9. chestermjr

    This deck is super fun. Great combo with enough tools to deal with aggro.

  10. Moltar

    Got rekt by Lich King's Death Grip.

    Still fun deck.

  11. charliedastrike

    I have yet to play this myself, but i have been watching a lot from different parts of the ladder. Looks like an awesome deck, just curious though what is people's take on dealing with Tempo Mage? It appears that has picked up the most momentum then expected.

  12. IllusiousSmile

    Emm guys, I don't have a single shadow visions and I don't have enough dust to craft even one of them so... What should I put instead?

    1. HolyCrusader

      Are u new player for HS? If so, I don't suggest any new player, who not willing spend money for gathering the proper amount of popular cards at first, try to build a control decks or complex combo decks (Unless the deck is fun orientation instead of ranking purpose). Shadow Vision is a quite old (it is from Un'Goro expansion) and commonly used card. You may just looking for some cheap aggro deck. The control decks is easily becoming boring after several games and many of them are heavily impacted by card draw order.

    2. huggybear

      You should put a couple of dollars into the game if you are looking to play this deck ;)

  13. Linkingirl

    Man.... I saw a clip on Twitch of Amaz going against a deck like this and losing with an amazing combo, but it must be hard to manage to get the combo..

    I don't have the shadow visions or bloodmage. What would good alternatives?

    1. Jerem2g

      If you don't have those cards might as well never make this deck swapping those cards will never get you to your combo pieces

    2. nicodiangelo

      Thalnos can be replaced by any card draw minion. Dead Ringer is a sound option since you draw deathrattles only. Novice engineer is another one.

      Shadow visions is overall an important and powerful priest card that's pretty much run in every priest deck that's serious about climbing. If you wanna play more priest I highly recommend investing in Shadow Visions. That said, there isn't a proper substitution that does the same thing. Just add more card draw since that's what matters for combo.

    3. MalygosDruid

      Dalaran Mage is a perfect alternative for Bloodmage Thalnos! and shadowvision is needed ^^ i hope its not to late i have really fun with Mecha'thun Priest so i hope you too my friend!

  15. Dutch

    Replaced Circle of Healing cards with Doomsayer cards; do NOTMulligan for Psychic Scream or any high value cards; hopefully, you'll get all 4. Do NOT Mulligan for Hemet either; let it come to you in play. Try your best to get more Psychic Screams with your Shadow Visions.

    Do not play Hemet until turn 7 or later, just keep clearing the board with your psychic screams, and have fun.
