That entire big pause before Reno activated I was waiting for someone to realize there were duplicate bombs in the deck.  Missed opportunity :P

Im a bit bummed as well about the lack of competitive quest lists. at sub 5 I hardly see any quests. The only new deck is see at all regularly is highlander hunter and I'm pretty sick of playing against hunter.

I think others are right in that future releases have a good chance at making them more viable but man is that a long time to wait to play the main theme of the current expansion.

Ooof, I nearly crafted cards to make the combo priest, so glad I read this just before I did. I totally forgot about the nerfs coming.

SirHerpDerp,

Okay, I have played this deck-ish a lot. The truth is that I don't have Millhouse Manastorm and I am not going to craft him for this deck. I also only have one Cataclysm therefore I had to make changes to this updated deck (I know those cards didn't change.) I chose to add Defile and High Priestess Jeklik. I added Defile to deal with aggro decks and leaned into the quest card to help deal with more controlling decks. 

I have found this deck to be strong (around wild rank 10 to rank 8) but more than that it is fun. I will keep playing with it. Currently, I play this deck more than any other. Nice job SirHerpDerp!

1st game I destroyed a Big Priest - So I'm happy :)

Very Detailed guide! thanks!

Nerf is not necessary at all. It is a great card! Annoys me quite a bit actually, but it will rotate and all will be fine.

That satisfying feeling when you're playing against a mage, have them set up for lethal, and they start frantically trying to dig for their Ice Block, playing Ancient Mysteries followed by Arcane Intellect and after striking out twice, they throw down Arcane Keysmith, on the 3rd attempt, finally find their saving grace. Until you shatter their dreams instantly with an Eater of Secrets. Fuck you Jaina, no Ice Block followed by Reno Jackson for you this time!

I don't think it's possible to highroll better than this in a Highlander deck.

Thanks for the coverage! 

I feel like the quests have shaken up the meta somewhat. Shaman and priest I see a lot of. Sometimes Rogue.They are not all seeing play, sure. But more cards will come out to help these quests in future sets. (at least I hope so!) 

Just adding my voice to the praise. Great article; very informative. Kudos.

Stoked for this nerf! Very annoying card these days.

Very good article. Thanks!

I actually was refining though this week and what I realized is that following 3 cards aren't really good:

Neferset Thrasher - he gave my opponents more lethal then he gave me

Magic Carpet - seems to be just relic of the past and isn't all that good in current meta

Scarab Egg - well those 1/1s are literally not really good not to mention clogging the board.

I actually came up with my own homebrew variant which is somewhat different from lists on hsreplay (by at least 6 cards), I don't claim it to be the most refined, but it is pretty good and carried me to legend. I suppose it has some clanky cards like I'm not so sure about Sea giant, maybe knife juggler would be better in that place, especially now that Mage is getting nerfed. But here is my approach. Any thoughts on best Zoo tech choices?

that's hilarious

I love old school maly rogue

too bad this deck isn't competitive but looks fun!

The only place I've seen it played was in some deck WowHobbs made with Lorewalker Cho and a lot of cycle. I forget exactly what the point of the deck was, but I remember Shadowfiend was in it.

Try it out; it works pretty well. Zephrys is a plus, but Warrior has enough strong stand-alone cards to carry a good singleton tempo deck.

I think the tactic keyword might be more simple and easy to understand if it didn't also work as a battlecry and a continual effect, but instead was just a continual effect. right now it just kinda feels like a lot in one keyword. 

great article, i would like to mention this "art" wrapped around the class names, so simple and so cool

I'm curious, how does Nine Lives interact with Weasel Tunneler? Do you get a weasel and shuffle a weasel, or is the added weasel immediately shuffled in the deck?

I'm playing this Highlander priest deck. The quest should go (not good enough) but couldn't let it go yet. The mindgame might sometimes help win the game ;-) currently close to r5. The big damage turn (possible in multiple ways) is mostly missed/ignored. Damage can go upto 26 (when the stars align) in a single turn. It's not an otk (which is why I wrote "otk") but more a control/tempo deck with a burst finish.

Ow and it includes dragons because they are cool ;-)

I have a question. Why a highlander warrior? Just because of zephyr? I see no other highlander card.

Should have tried the combo priest earlier.. one big winstreak from r14 2 star to r10 4 star (yeah I know low level etc, still great stats..) could maybe an extra holy ripple and a grand mummy make it to the list after nerfes? It gives you some extra stats +heal fuel maybe?

Just beat a netdeck Control Warrior in casual with my homebrew Highlander Quest Rogue (in my signature), AMA.
