The wincondition is obvious to everyone so im gonna eloborate on loss condition.
If you dont draw dragonfire and/or kazakus aoe you might die sooner than you think.
Mind blast is overkill
Holy fire is a BAD card, elise’s 5/5 body is more relevant.
Tar creeper is a linear card, stonehilldefender, though, can create wonders
Pintsizepotion SEEMS good but one could change it with shifting shade or happy ghoul which may provide you with a tempo and snowball towards victory.
I don’t disagree with any of your comments but I believe that this deck was made specifically for top legend where Neirea knew the type of decks he was running into consistently.
e.g. if you vs alot of mirror matches than this deck is very strong. I would think that if you are not in the top legend ranks than you would tech differently for a more diverse meta.
This is the problem with netdecking in general. You don’t want to copy a deck which is made for a specific purpose if it is not relevant to your experience while laddering.
It’s clear that he has teched for what he expects to vs often which is why he has been successful with it.
Mind Blast is better win condition than Elise.
Elise is decent but I really want to draw to my win con Raza+Shadowreaper Anduin+Velen and I don’t like fattening up the deck. Out of 100+ games I’ve played with razakus priest this season there was only 1 or 2 games that went to fatigue where elise could’ve helped. This only happens vs decks running Skulking Geist. Velen and Mind Blast OTK combo is way more awkward to deal with than simply getting bunch of cards from Elise. It is simply very hard to know when to choose to heal.
hero power (2 )-> Velen -> hero power (4) -> mind blast (10) -> hero power (4) -> holy fire (4) -> hero power (4) is 28 damage. With coin, silence, circle of healing, or radiant elemental you can even do 30+ damage on a turn. It’s just way more powerful than Elise in my opinion.
Finally, a Razakus deck featuring ‘Holy Fire.’
I was thinking about adding it myself since the deck can only run 1 shadow word : death and it helps me deal with minions like Savannah Highmane, Despicable Dreadlord, and Cobalt Scalebane.
In addition, sometimes you just want that extra heal vs aggro or when racing another priest or control warlock with hero power because you can’t heal conventionally anymore after using Shadowreaper.
Seems efficient at what it does.
