    Any replacements for Vol'Jin and Justicar?

    1. Evident

      Sylvanas and BGH or second Death for Vol'jin.

  2. Cenobite

    Any replacements for Entomb?

    1. Evident

      Second Shadow Word: Death.

  3. Cleggman

    Just wondering what's the point of Thaurisan? Is it just there to draw out hard removal? Because its ability is practically useless because theres nothing to buff. Wouldn't Loatheb or Sylvanas be a better replacement? Also I was thinking of bringing back Ysera and/or Paletress, would this be the right deck to do that in? (Just replace Thauisan)

    1. Pentagram

      Remember thoughtsteal.
      And remember that you would probably use your hero power every turn.. And x2 entomb have also heavy cc.
      Thaurissan has "taunt" ;)

    2. Vandheer

      Thaurisan in my opinion helps with playing two 6-cost cards in a row, your variation is also quite fine if you don't struggle with playing 7 6-manacost cards

  4. Hannes

    Dont bother most of the time you die before even playing a card.

    1. Baws

      What do you mean? Are you getting bad mulligans? I feel like the timing is everything when sweeping board with priest. I'm currently running museum curators in a similar list. If you can get a turn 3 death rattle you won't get run over

      1. Sancho

        Aren't Curators too slow? What if you get bad death rattle card.
        Just wanted to know your thoughts on it cuz meta seems to be still quite fast (I'm facing a lot of combo druids nowadays) .

        1. sayn0thing

          I've been pulling really good deathrattle cards from Museum Curator. Glad this deck introduced me to that card.

    By Far my favorite version of control priest, so much utility between healing card draw and removal using LoTN, and Flash-heal, Emp is really good in this deck too because it helps curve out your hard removal better! Highly recommend for anyone familiar with control priest! 10/10

    I Subbed out one Thought steal for Voljin to add a removal + beefy bod.

    Save entombs for high priority targets like Ysera and Tiron/ Golden Monkey

    1. sayn0thing

      Entombs are also really handy to remove pesky taunts so you can go in for the kill

  6. knifeaidan

    tips for mulligan/general play style?

    1. Nanormalyphoras

      Most important thing to know is when to concede Kappa

    2. Joel

      I would look at normal Control Priest Deck List it says this in the Control Priest Mulligan Guide and Strategy: Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield, Wild Pyromancer, Deathlord, and Zombie Chow are great against aggressive decks. Museum Curator should be kept against just about every deck. Circle of Healing and Auchenai Soulpriest are kept against aggressive decks, and you can keep or look for Circle of Healing/Injured Blademaster against control.

  7. sayn0thing

    Gawd damn, I love this deck!

  8. Volcanic

    Wouldn't Frost Giant be good in this deck?

  9. extramadcow

    is justicar really needed for this to be worth playing?

    1. Evident

      It's worth playing, but you can replace it with Sylvanas or a second Cabal.

  10. Rae

    5:0 instant priest domination quest :)
    Great deck.

  11. Somethibg2

    Shouldnt there be some kind of legendary that creates consistency?

  12. Deathstrke

    Can we switch out justicare with sylvannas?

    1. Evident

      That's fine.

  13. kingpawn

    So i run a similar list but no thought steals but with elise and belcher
