No, but he contributed to victory against a Renolock with Tickatus who even milled 10 of my cards. He helped create board pressure and in the end I had exact lethal that I might not have had without him. And he seemed good in other games as well. Overall it's a good change, I have tested it and even replaced it in the out of cards deck list. Thanks again for the suggestion!
I removed Wardruid Loti, Teacher's Pet synergises with both N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Hadronox and has been performing well as a stand alone turn 5 play by itself. First game testing it out with Greybough it beat an aggro demon hunter so badly, Reno was not even needed, it was a board based battle and Primordial Drake and then Dragonqueen Alexstrasza tempo won the board. It’s different from a control reno deck like reno control mage, I like both types of reno decks but you are right that this one is for people who like fighting for the board with minion based value.
Hi Pezman! That’s actually a great idea, what would you take out of the deck for it? I’m thinking Guess the Weight, since the deck’s mana curve is relatively uniform it doesn’t draw you an extra card that often.
I am on the NA server. If you want to add me my battletag is Swizard#1993. I will write a detailed guide for this deck within a few hours, thanks for commenting!
Vicious Syndicate put Highlander Priest in tier 4. However, I played their featured list with only one card changed 21 times and won 18 of those, I faced a lot of aggro demon hunters and somehow won against all but one of them. They didn't seem to make any misplays. This deck also won against other decks labeled as tier 1 in vicious syndicate like pure paladin, evolve shaman, and highlander hunter. This was in platinum, I haven't played standard for a long time, but since I was wild legend consistently probably my mmr would be high for standard as well. So, overall, even if the deck isn't tier 1 I think that if people play a good version of Highlander priest and play it well it is definitely higher than tier 4 and may even be as high as tier 2.
If you have played Highlander Priest in standard recently, or can try to play it to have a higher sample size so we can see if it's really underrated or not, or just have some thoughts please let me know because I usually play wild only but based on the vicious syndicate standard report I thought this might be interesting to people who want to play some other decks than demon hunter, shaman, paladin, and hunter. Vicious syndicate puts Highlander Priest in tier 4 and calls the class a trash tier class with no good decks but please give it a chance, because I'm not even that familiar with the standard meta so someone who knew the opponent's decks better could have had an even higher record with this deck. And most of all, out of all the standard decks I have tried to play so far this is by far the most fun and engaging deck to play, you plan ahead your turns and make decisions in a fun way, in my opinion at least.
I'm glad you like it! Renounce Warlock is one of my top 3 favorite decks of all time and it will keep getting better for each expansion. Now that all classes have more possible cards the chance of having active highlander cards after renouncing will increase. Especially for demon hunter the number of cards is a lot higher than with just 2 expansions and the chance of having no duplicates will increase.
Compare this to Rin, the First Disciple which was played in some reno warlock decks. This is a lot better, they both come out late but you don’t need to play so many weak cards to get it and you weren’t discarding more than 10 cards with Azari, the Devourer when you got to play him.
In reno warlock this plus brann or this plus zola to burn 10 of your opponent’s cards makes the matchup against control decks like reno mage and odd warrior much better. Plus you can burn the deck of a dead man’s hand warrior and stop them from going infinite. Plus turn 8 against reno priest or any other combo deck to burn 5 of their cards or turn 10 with brann can destroy one of their combo pieces if you are lucky. The downside is it has anti synergy with void caller and archwitch willow. Maybe it’s worth it to try some new disrupt based reno warlock without as many demons?
I don’t play standard but how often does your opponent have 5 or more minions in play? I know control decks probably won’t. All those cards are good to see play in a tempo warrior deck and maybe if you see you are against an aggressive deck just use the combo pieces early on but otherwise you can try to save them for a potential combo on turn 9. Or even if you save part of the combo pieces and deal 24 damage on turn 9 that’s still a good finisher for a tempo warrior.
How about some otk deck involving making copies of this with faceless manipulator, getting a lot of minions on board, and giving them all rush with animated broomstick? It won’t be competitive but if I get this card that would be a fun way to use it
You could use mad summoner to guarantee both sides having a board, then kill one of your imps with inner rage. Then play broomstick to get 7 guaranteed attacks, assuming you have 2 god of metal that would 28 damage, if you have 3 42. The 28 damage combo can be done with a Thaurissan tick, the 42 damage combo with Thaurissan and Drakkari enchantress
Right now when looking at duels decks in the front page, it has duel decks. But when doing wild decks, some of the same duel decks appear. I think that duel decks should only appear when duels are selected and only wild decks for the wild format should appear when wild is selected. Right now actual wild decks are being diluted.
After the rotation standard brawl became a lot less enjoyable and I stopped playing MTGA completely. I hope for historic brawl to be permanent eventually

Hi I am still writing the guide, but I will definitely post it sometime tomorrow and let you know.

It was 7 stars for standard
Try switching the 3 mana priest legendary for the priest prime minion in the list. That’s what I did and it worked well for me.
I’m on NA. Also, when you say wild ladder I think you mean standard.

You can do a 28 damage combo with Inner Rage and a single Emperor Thaurissan tick on 4 cards: This, Faceless Manipulator, Mad Summoner, and Animated Broomstick.

Yeah, I just like to add people who like off meta decks in wild, my battletag is Swizard#1993 if you want to add.
Are you on NA?

Try this warrior deck with it, you can get a one turn kill
