Tried it for a few games. Went 5-0, deck feels insanely strong. A bit short on card draw sometimes, but almost anything you have in hand can have such a high impact on the game and produce such big swings that it didn't matter. Psychopomp + Archmage Vargoth or Convincing Infiltrator is nuts, King Phaoris summoning 1-3 9-drops (and the occasional Wisp XD) is nuts. I didn't even use Mass Resurrection or Plague of Death ONCE in those first games, had such a big board advantage that they just weren't needed.
Maybe I'd play a second Topsy Turvy instead of the second Shadow Word: Death for more BOOM, but that's just a detail.
What do you guys think the flex spots would be in the deck? Would be nice to tech in Holy Ripple for the lackey spam from Rogue and Shaman, or Elysiana in control matchups.
your 9 mana spells are such big plays that you often want to save them for king phaoris, but I've found that even hitting one big spell with Phaoris is enough for a fat swing. Just dont be greedy unless it's a proper value off - and even then they'll likely have a counter anyway.
It's actually one of the highest played winrate cards in the deck according to HSReplay also - not worth cutting quite yet.

Nice deck to try if I open the Priest quest in a pack. I am not crafting it.
King Phaoris seems like it doesn't fit well. It could really dillute your rez pool with some bad RNG. Any experience with it in play?
Fun but expensive and not really efficient long-term.
I'd try this, but waaaay out of my price range.
I subbed in a Mass Dispel for one of the PWS, came in handy.
Think I've been helped a bit much by poor RNG shamans getting the wrong lackeys.
This decks fucking great. My kind of priest deck. Suuuuper slow though so make sure you have time lol.

Thanks for sharing!

I think King Phaoris is one of the weaker cards in the deck. You can put in one of those cards and sub him out.

Such an awesome deck!
