C'Thun Blade: onlyPriest's C'Thun and fatigue deck

C'Thun Blade is onlyPriest's deck: two plans on one set of Shadow spells. The spells charge the cards that trigger C'Thun's abilities before C'Thun is played, and the same spells feed Blade of The Black Empire, which makes the enemy take fatigue at the end of any turn you've cast one.

#C'Thun, before C'Thun

C'Thun, Eye of the Empire (10 mana, 12/12) is an Old God: instead of attacking, it uses two of its four abilities each turn. If you've triggered all 4 C'Thun abilities this game, its abilities are tripled. The abilities:

• Wrath of C'Thun: deal 7 damage randomly split among enemies.
• Glare of C'Thun: Lifesteal. Deal 5 damage to an enemy minion.
• Domain of C'Thun: give two other random friendly minions +2/+3.
• Servants of C'Thun: summon two 2/3 Fanatics with Taunt.

Six cards in the list trigger one of them before C'Thun arrives:

• Dark Deacon (3 mana): Battlecry, if you've cast 2 Shadow spells while holding it, choose a C'Thun ability to trigger.
• Spawn of C'Thun (4 mana): Battlecry, if C'Thun started in your deck, choose one of its abilities to trigger.
• Gargantuan Slitherer (6 mana, 6/7 Taunt): Battlecry, choose a C'Thun ability to trigger.

Two of each is six triggers, and picking each ability once sets up a tripled C'Thun.

#The Shadow spells and the Blade

Thirteen of the spells are Shadow spells: two each of Elder Word: Flay, Entropic Rift, Twilight Influence, Devouring Plague, Elder Word: Foresight and Shadow Word: Ruin, and an Elder Word: Manifest (a 5/5 Voidwing with Lifesteal). They charge Dark Deacon, the Elder Words repeat with the next Shadow spell, and each turn one is cast, Blade of The Black Empire puts the opponent closer to fatigue. Shadow Word: Ruin destroys every minion with 5 or more Attack, your own Slitherers, Soothsayers and C'Thun included, so it's best before they land.

#Zer'Ontu

Zer'Ontu (8 mana, 3/3 Taunt) summons a 0, a 1 and a 2-Attack minion from your deck and gains their stats: Befuddled Summoner (0), Arachnathid (1), and Crystalline Golem or Spawn of C'Thun (2).

#Play it and track it

If you try it, save it as its own deck and log your games against it in the Tracker, so its record stays apart from your other Priest lists.
