A new Hearthstone deck is shaking up the meta. The “One-Turn-Kill” Priest is on the rise!
Anyone who thinks that the current meta of Hearthstone is stagnant and essentially consists only of pirate warriors and jade shamans will be in for a surprise. Out of all the chaos from Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, a deck has emerged that no one expected: the “One Turn Kill” Priest deck from player rage_HS.
The Priest deck combines several new cards like Shrink Ray and Potion of Madness with old favorites like Divine Will and Inner Fire. The real kicker, however, is the Djinn of Zephyrs from the Explorer’s League, which benefits from a unique utilization of a mechanic.
The OTK Confuse Priest
When an opposing minion is taken over by Potion of Madness, this card gives that minion Charge as well. This is not mentioned in the description, but it makes sense, because otherwise, you couldn’t attack with the stolen minion. The trick is: If the Djinn is on the field when the potion is cast, it also gets Charge!
Now you buff the stolen minion with Divine Will and Inner Fire, creating two powerful Charge minions that can easily deal 30-50 damage, depending on the game situation.
The deck is relatively easy to play, but requires good planning in your head (and therefore also entails mathematics). However, it is necessary to keep many cards in hand and speculate that the opponent plays a minion you can take over – if necessary, you can first use the Shrink Ray to help out. Some gameplay scenes are shown to you by YouTuber and streamer Disguised Toast in his video:
What do you think of the deck? A fun change from the current pirate madness or just the next overpowered deck?

The hated Patches should have actually appeared many expansions ago – who would have thought?
