Story Priest is onlyPriest's deck: a control Priest that clears the board again and again, heals through whatever is left, and ends on Medivh and the two cards that come with it. Its name comes from Story of Amara, which sets your hero's Health to 40.

#Clearing the board

• Doomsayer (2 mana, 0/7): at the start of your turn, destroy all minions, yours included.
• Holy Nova (2 damage to every enemy minion), two Moonwell (4 damage to every enemy character), Shadow Word: Ruin (destroy every minion with 5 or more Attack) and Cease to Exist (Rewind; Silence and destroy a random enemy minion).
• Eternal Firebolt (Lifesteal, 3 damage to a minion) comes back to your hand at the end of the turn if the minion dies.
• Kaldorei Priestess gives every enemy minion -2 Attack until your next turn.

#Staying alive

• Story of Amara (10 mana) sets your hero's Health to 40.
• Two Greater Healing Potion (restore 12 Health, draw a card), Moonwell and Holy Nova heal; Lunarwing Messenger and Eternal Firebolt have Lifesteal.
• Flutterwing Guardian is a 4/4 with Taunt and Divine Shield.
• Eight cards Imbue your Hero Power: two each of Bitterbloom Knight, Lunarwing Messenger, Kaldorei Priestess and Flutterwing Guardian.

#Medivh, Atiesh and Karazhan

Medivh the Hallowed (10 mana, 7/7) is Fabled: Atiesh the Greatstaff and Karazhan the Sanctum come with it. Each one makes another free:

• Medivh costs (0) if you control Karazhan. Battlecry: Silence and destroy all other minions.
• Atiesh the Greatstaff, a 10-mana weapon, costs (0) if you control Medivh, and doubles the damage and healing of your spells.
• Karazhan the Sanctum, a 10-mana location, costs (0) if you're wielding Atiesh, and summons two random 8-Cost minions.

With Atiesh equipped, the deck's damage and healing spells (Moonwell, Holy Nova, Greater Healing Potion, Eternal Firebolt) do double.

#More mana, and spells twice

• Ysera, Emerald Aspect raises both players' maximum Mana by 5 at the start of the game, and its Battlecry gains 3 Mana Crystals: room for 10-mana cards with mana to spare.
• Tyrande (7 mana, 5/7) makes the next 3 spells you play cast twice.
• Shaladrassil (8 mana) gets all 5 Dream cards, corrupted if you've played a higher-Cost card while holding it.
• Two Intertwined Fate each Discover a copy of a card from your deck and one from your opponent's.

#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.
