...you had to be there, history has been made.
REPLACEMENT
Ysera -> Nefarian Nefarian is faster ( higher attack and 2 cards) but risky (BGH - SW:D)
Vol'jin -Boom or Sylvanas (if you play boom than you better use Nefarian too). Harrison is ok, Loatheb would be a bad filler and Thaurissan has no place here.
Twilight Guardian - Mandatory 2x. Taunt+dragon has no replacement
Cabal Shadow Priest - You need at least one cabal to steal opponent's minibot, hounds, acolyte. Replace the second at will. MCT and Sylvanas are quite obvious. One more dragon can help, lightbomb is bad.
How is this deck supposed to deal with Quartermaster + muster? Or Dr Boom? Pray for a SW:D? Seems unreliable.
Normally by the time they get those down I have a couple taunts and Whelps that are buffed, I normally buff my taunts with Velen and then Shrinkmaster to preserve.
SW:D is pretty reliable if you are running 2 on turn 7. By then you are a minimum 3rd through your deck, often more. Quartermaster+Muster is pretty well countered by the fact that you have a strong board on turn 8. Lots of taunts including a 3 damage taunt to soak at least 2 buffed minions. There are a few ways to get spell power in this deck. Spell power holy nova also clears out that nonsense.
I subbed in Wild Pyromancer because of the high number of paladins and token druids I've seen. That could help you out as well.
If you have Vol'jin he's really great at dealing with boom as well. Sacrifice pretty much anything you have on the board to boom and you have a 6/7 of your own to show for it.
Never once had an issue with boom. You have two cards in your deck that are hard removal for him and you also have cards like Voljin and corruptor as soft removal options as well. As for QM + muster, if your opponent is a paladin and you only have to deal with QM + Muster, then two things happened. Your opponent didn't already play muster (meaning you probably got board at some point) and they didn't play the best card in the game (Tirion). There are also plays like velen's nova that work well enough if you have something on board (or something cheap in hand on a later turn) as an AOE.
So most older decks ran 1 x BGH to handle DR. BOOM. Now this decks run 2 x SWD and you are worried?
Currently having a blast with this deck! I've tried some builds of dragon priest before but this one has been my most successful so far.
I replaced Vol'jin with Nefarian like some people suggested here and it's worked wonderfully! nefarian rng stole so many games I'd have lost otherwise. If I get Chillmaw I'll make sure to try it out in the deck.
I'm missing a Vol'jin and Cabal Shadow Priest. I was actually a little shakey on Vol'jin with what I've been running into. I mostly run into secret and rush paladins, hunters, and token druids. Their minions just don't have big health, but there's a lot of them. I thought about subbing in MindControl Technician but felt that this really doesn't do much when there are so many 1/1 tokens floating around the board. I settled on a Wild Pyromancer and Sylvanas Windrunner but might ultimately go 2x pyromancer because of how many games he's won me.
I substituted Vol'jin (because I didn't have him either) for Rend or Chillmaw. Rend didn't work to great because I never pulled him when the other opponent had a legendary but I did and I had dragons in hand so I couldn't play him. Chillmaw has been more successful imo. I don't run any Cabal Shadow Priests either. I just use the Dragonkin Sorcerers and a Mind Control Technician when I'm overwhelmed. Worth a shot possibly.
I've heard good reports on running Lightbomb too.
any possible replacement for vol'jin?
Vol'jin - he basically deals damage from hand, so his replacement is already on the list (Blackwing Corruptor). Replace at will with: kezan, harrison, dragonkin sorcererx2. Boom is fine too since we may lack some power
really nice deck , just have to mulligan for dragons !! even if it is ysera , there are many games when I just have Ysera in my hand and don't even need to play it , just use it to to trigger battlecry mostly , made some changes subbed 1 cabal shadow priest with sylvanas , - 1 shrink master for lightbomb, -1 volljin for chillmaw , works great for me , I didn't play this game for an while , so today I was ranked 19 , after 10 hours of playing only with this deck did get to rank 10 easily
Any suggestions for counters to this deck? 80% of the people I played against on ladder today are running it.

A dragon deck without Chillmaw? Interesting.
Chillmaw is bad
It's great....just not in a mid-range list.
Most of the other lists out there are great but tend to lose the spirit of the priest I know and love. Leave it to Kolento (the world's greatest priest player) to build a true dragon priest.
Strong deck, I took out a shrink in favour of one lightbomb. Need aoe options in this meta!
Kolento easily got a 37 win streak, and Blizzard still keeps on sending him "watch and learn" quest..
This deck rocks! I subbed in one Confessor Paletress for one Shrinkmeister to amazing results! Gives me 2 late game threats with Ysera as well to make my opponents surrender and/or quake in their boots :)
