Purify full

Silence Priest or Purify Priest is a Priest deck type that is characterized by using Silence effects on one's own minions to change cards with serious drawbacks (such as "Can't attack") into cheap high-stat minions. The deck type has been tried at least since the Karazhan expansion, with people trying to make a deck around One Night in KarazhanPurify, generally considered a very bad card, but it gained enough popularity to become part of the meta after the release of Journey to Un'Goro. ,

Gameplay

The idea of the deck is to play cards that cannot attack (such as LegacyAncient Watcher), which then are silenced with Silence, One Night in KarazhanPurify or other silence effects, and/or receive taunt through cards such as LegacySunfury Protector. It also often uses the LegacyDivine Spirit-LegacyInner Fire combo, which can turn a high defense minion like Journey to Un'GoroHumongous Razorleaf into a giant powerhouse.
