Topsy Priest: A Labor of Love

A long time ago, when Stonetusk Boar and Topsy Turvy were in Standard and Blizzard still had a fraction of their positive reputation, there was a deck; a deck that was so powerful yet so difficult to play that an entire combo-simulator was programmed to help players increase the consistency in which they were able to go off with the deck. This deck was none other than Topsy Turvy Priest, and this is my attempt to bring it back.

The deck centers around using Test Subject to copy our combo spells (Vivid Nightmare and Divine Spirit) until we have enough to turn our Stonetusk Boar into a 16/1 that can be copied for lethal. More specifically, the combo is as follows:
TS = Test Subject DS = Divine Spirit VN = Vivid Nightmare
Required: 1 TS + 1 DS + 1 Topsy + 1 Boar + either 2 Elementals and 1 VN or 1 Elemental and 2 VNs
TS --> Boar --> Elemental --> either 2nd Elemental or VN copying Elemental --> DS on TS --> VN copying TS --> Topsy on TS copy --> DS on TS --> VN copying TS --> Topsy on TS copy --> VN copying Elemental

Once we get our Test Subject to 16 health, we can start throwing our [Hearthstone Card (Divine Spirits) Not Found] onto our Stonetusk Boar while copying the Test Subject to gain more Spirits and more Vivid Nightmares. Once our Boar is at 1/16, we can Topsy Turvy it and then copy it for lethal. Furthermore, if our opponent has taunters in the way or an excess of health, we can tailor the latter half of our combo to focus on making more Vivid Nightmares so that we can create more copies of our Boar to knock out anything blocking us from lethal. The combo can be extremely difficult to perform, but has enough versatility that, with practice, it can be quite powerful in a number of matchups.

All of this being said, this deck has not been relevant in a long time, despite a fair few new cards to help it out. This decklist is my attempt at changing that, but I don't think I've succeeded yet. I'm posting this to encourage others to try the deck and experiment with different card combinations so that one day Topsy Priest can rise from the ashes. This is almost certainly not a perfect 30, but I think we can get there together.
