Played a lot of Quest Priest with Prince-Higlander Version and Prince-normal version.
I saw good synergies in highlander and combined it in a non highlander deck.
Detected many issues so I designed a version which want complete the quest and play the Big Shard asap.
Issues with normal version on hs-replay:
-to less card draw or snipping the right cards to complete the quest.
– Big issues to complete the 5-cost, 6-cost step
– Big issue to get the big 10 mana shard with 40 cards
Little Spells Cards (under 2): I removed the desperate prayer for for gift of naaru to cycle faster through the deck, I add Illuminate to discover the next cost card minion or little spells also add cleric to discover the big shard at late game or get good options at midrange state of game.
2: Like the old version, condemn is replaced for tuskarrrr to discover the next card that I draw. Condemn often to weak for aggro decks (deal 1 to all enemy minions is pretty bad, In late game you have taunts and enough heal)
3: First I improved the card draw and canceled the discover at this step. Discover is often too slow and too random, often spell cards doesnt fit to the control game. “Devout Dungeoneer” is the pretty awesome, if you draw a holy spell it is a cheap one for always zero mana, if you draw a big spell like “drown” or Elek you get a next quest step. the 40 health is good for surviving this turn because you have less tempo and no poison on board. The disadvantage of this style but the 6 mana taunts help you surviveability 2 or 3 turns after.
4: like the old version. “Drown” to have the “Devout Dungeoneer” synergy. School Teacher and Okani is replaceable. At 4 mana there is nothing good for fight back the board (expect maybe xyrella aoe), but there are many 4 cost tech cards which can be also used. Here I will try different things in future but this worked pretty well.
5/6: I cut off 6 mana cards to have for faster cycle and for a 5 mana card. 5 mana cards a big problem to complete the quest. I choose Lyra because there are many cheap spells in the deck to Highroll a good control/buff spell. Also Lyra is like a taunt and get priorised to remove. Spammy often does nothing. Also a “Priest of An´she” can also pretty good its a taunt to defend you and maybe you highroll it to an 8/8. 6 manas as always, mida was to slow for me. with 3cards /3cards is a pretty roll to complete this step.
7: I wanted a third 7 cost card and the only option was elekk mount. The minions are pretty trash and sometimes you draw or discover the elekk mount with your cards from you deck. It can be bzw pretty hard to cast it on your own minion, but its the best option. The other 7´s as old version.
8: Like the old version. Whirlpool is THE Card to swipe the board, because now your opponent is way ahead on board. You can dredge it with “Illu” to remove the opponents board at 5 against aggro.
Big Shard: Discover or draw it with cleric, thrive(with illuminate 0-mana and otk), spirit, illuminate and so on and at this state you have so much value to control the opponent ´til you draw the shard.
!!!: This deck is more focused to cycle through your deck, to complete the quest and play the shard asap. It´s a bit slower than normal version and not so control focused. But fast and control focused enough to defend yourself and the quote to complete the quest is turn 10 to 11 instead of turn 14/15.
I played it on legend 5000 with a result of 14w/4l, this deck will be meta and I will climb with it in nxt time.
edit: I forgot to say, you will overdraw with this deck, but believe me this is no problem with this deck.
