How to get started with this unlikely new deck!
Our Mech Zoo Priest deck list guide features the best Rise of Shadows deck list for Season 64 of Hearthstone (July 2019). Our Mech Zoo Priest guide also contains Mulligan advice, card combos and strategy tips.
Mech Zoo Priest is an interesting new deck to appear in the second half of the Rise of Shadows meta, and sees the Priest getting their own piece of the mechanical action that’s dominating the ladder right now.
As this is very experimental right now, the first edition of our guide focuses on bringing you the latest competitive deck list, a few tips on Mulliganing your opening hand, and how the combos in the deck work.
If it proves successful in the long run, we’ll overhaul this article with all the extra strategy advice we feature in our other Hearthstone guides.
UPDATE – JULY 2019 #1
Mech Zoo Priest is unchanged for the start of the July season, and the formula overall seems pretty well established. We’ll see if we can build on this one with the release of Saviors of Uldum!

Mech Zoo Priest tips, combos and synergies
Here are the fundamental combos you need to be aware of when playing Mech Zoo Priest:
– Whenever a minion is healed while Northshire Cleric is on the board, an extra card will be added to your hand. This effect stacks with Circle of Healing and multiple heals occurring.
– Upgradeable Framebot is one of your prime targets for empowerment via both Extra Arms, and also the evergreen combo of Divine Spirit and Inner Fire.
– Any time Acolyte of Pain takes even a point of damage you’ll draw an extra card.
– Cast a spell will Wild Pyromancer is out in play and all minions will take a point of damage. The damage is applied after the effect of the spell has been played out.
– Unpowered Steambot is another great candidate for the big combo finisher you’ve been drawing into your hand.
– When Mass Dispel is played, all enemy minions are silenced, and lose any special effects beyond their core stats.
