Quest Priest has attracted a lot of Renathal enthusiasts, with the deck thought to benefit from going 40. Small pockets of Naga and Boar Priest remain, mostly at top legend.

Renathal seems to be a good addition to Quest Priest. The deck has finally become competitive on ladder, with a positive win rate all the way through Diamond. It does dip at legend, with Druid's popularity becoming a big problem at higher ranks as well as relatively limited player agency. We suspect that this deck will get worse over time and settle for mediocrity.

Quest Priest is another good home for Renathal, and the reasons are easy to understand since it is very similar to Prestor Druid, but less extreme.

First, its win condition is always drawn on turn 1, it gets discovery draw effects along its quest phases, while Purified Shard can also be easily tutored, so its game plan is not hindered as much by its decreasing draw consistency.

Second, its play pattern is clumsy and inflexible, making it likely to be outpaced by a more efficient opponent, so having extra health means it can more easily bridge into its stabilizing plays on turn 6-8. It has some removal but it's still weak defensively.

Third, the cards in the deck don't matter as much as their cost. Quest Priest doesn't rely much on power spikes, so it's happy to play any card if it helps progress its quest. This negates the drawback of having a bigger and weaker deck on average since “the cards don't matter”.

The featured build is a tweak on Meati's #1 legend list. We've cut some spells to increase early game consistency. We also added Okani because it's Broke-ani. We like the single copy of Amulet of Undying. It's an alternative wincon that works well with Spirit Guide. Finley is very good in this deck. It helps you reset bad draws and can be used to dodge Mutanus or find Purified Shard in some unique situations.

Don't take this list as gospel though. There are many cards you can put in this deck and not see widely varying results. A Highlander Reno version of Quest Priest isn't even that much worse. That should tell you all you need to know.
