THIS PRIEST ZOO DECK JUST DOESNT LOSE (Experiences May Vary)

Hey guys, LiquidSora here with another deck guide. Iam a 9x Legend, hovering around 100-200 legend for the majority of this season, here to show you a crazy resilient and consistent priest board control deck!

Heres the Decklist: http://imgur.com/8HkGbk5

Iam currently 10-0 with this list, and ill explain what cards I cut out and replaced with and why.

Cards that got removed: 2x smite 2x holy fire 1x mind control 2x wild pyromancer 1x holy nova 2x thought steal 1x Cabal Shadow priest

Cards that were added in: 2x Undertaker 2x Zombie Chow 2x Haunted Creeper 2x Loot Hoarder 1x Cairne 1x Sylvanas 1x Kelthuzad

REASONING:

Holy Smite: This deck plays like zoo, use ur creatures as removal spells. Creatures on board = top priority

Holy Fires: With how many creatures that you are going to dump out. 5 damage for 6 mana is not worth it, since it is achievable easily with creatures alone. You dont care about the 5 HP cause your the Aggro Deck.

Pyromancer: these were tough to cut out, but they simply are better in Standard Control Priest, than this more consistent zoo version. You have an abundant amount of ways to control the board with your early drops, and having creatures with deathrattle is utmost importance. There isn't enough room for the minimal effects of this card

Thoughsteals: You are NOT playing a slow game. If you cannot control the board early and win, well those games happens. You certainly do not want to spend your entire turn 3 dropping nothing on the board though.

GAMEPLAY + MULLIGANS:

Mulligans differ for various matchups, however in general you want to look for 1 drops in your opening hand. Undertaker, Power Shield, Draw Priest, zombie chow, are the best cards to keep.

Play creatures on curve every turn. However against hunters you have to try not overextending, at the same time put just enough amount of pressure on the board to make them worried.

Against almost all other classes, board control is one of your top priorities. Cairne, sylvanas, Kelthuzad are all amazing cards incase you run out of steam. Also , Sometimes, cairne and KT can end games by themselves if not dealth with.

Please feel free to discuss your opinions or suggestions!!! I am open to any ideas, advices or changes.

EDIT: When I made this deck, I did not use ANY other similar decklists or anything related to the work of others. Blizzard owns hearthstone and all of the cards, and this decklist is just my expression of Priest. Sorry for any confusion.
