Are there any viable counters against Reno-Priest?

1/3 of the hole ladder is Priest atm and I see no viable counter against it - but Priest has counters against everything.

I am allready playing an ultra-aggressive deck in the hope to rush the Priest down - but this doesn`t matter  against infinitive removals and infinitive heals. :(

    There’s plenty. Most control decks have the option of teching in a combination of grizzled wizard and sir finley to get rid of their hero power. Alternatively you could tech in an ambush as rogue or even the darkness or bad luck albatross to get rid of their highlander cards. Gnomeferatu almost guarantees to destroy shadowreaper anduin if you play it right after they play lorekeeper polkelt. And dirty rat, deathlord, and loatheb are always available in wild

    I've seen People tech in Mischief Maker to counter Lorekeeper Polkelt. Mindrender Illucia is also pretty decent.

    If you manage to get rid of Spawn of Shadows, Reno Priest becomes actually pretty tame imo.

    Wizard, Finley and The Darkness found a place in my Cube Lock Deck without much problems in other match ups. Albatross might be better Tempo, but The Darkness is safer because it grants one more disruptor and I just love the flavor.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Any card that shuffles in his deck, Dirty Rat, Grizzled Wizard, Mindrender Illucia...

     

    And, maybe, Void Contract or King Togwaggle+Explore Un'Goro.

    By The Holy Light!

    Your best bet is Sir Finley Mrrgglton and Grizzled Wizard. Also works great against Odd decks and other Death Knights.

    However, there's only point in teching if your deck consistently draws at least 2/3 of your cards, so something like Renolock can play it. Aggro decks are better off making their decks more consistent with synergistic cards and trying to race bad matchups before they draw their answers. Loatheb is the only one I'd recommend, because it's all around good.

    Put your faith in the Light!
