Hi guys, i recommend you try this deck out. It's the ultimate control deck, with plenty of early game to beat all aggro decks as well as Pirate Cancer.
Updated for Gaz: +2 Dragonoid Operative = Best new Card. +2 Dragonfire Potion = Best Clear in the game. -1 Azure Drake (doesn't combo with potion) +1 Book Wyrm, as there are many 3/4 in the current game.
+ Brann Bronzebeard because we are greedy for more Draknoid Operative combo.
You will never run out of cards using this deck. Just focus on clearing the board each turn and mounting control of the board.
So far i have climbed rapidly, including a 9 game win streak
Mulligans:
Fairly standard in this deck. Usually we want to keep Zombie Chow and Twilight Whelp regardless of who we are playing.
We can keep Northshire Cleric, but we only play her turn 1 against heroes that can't destroy her. Warrior, Druid, Warlock, Mage, Shaman can clear her mostly. Great to play turn 1 against Pally.
Twilight Guardian I nearly always keep. We usually draw another dragon by turn 4. With coin Azure Drake is also nice to keep. We really want some dragon action early, a had of spells could mean you begin to far behind.
Museum Curator is ok turn 2, but I prefer to draw him rather then keep him in starting hand. He is a good card when we don't have much of a play and can provide us with what we need. Sometimes a 2nd Chillmaw which is handy to keep in hand.
I hardly ever login to upvote decks, but this is a super fun deck that has dragons and elise which are both really fun to play. ty.

Works really well. I had to dump the 2 Museum Curator and Chillmaw though.
replaced them with
Silence extremely powerfull against secret pally f.e.
Chromaggus can easily get out of line when played right
Acidic Swamp Ooze Harrison might be an alternative but all you want is destroy weapons. so im cool with it
This is a great deck. Enjoying it so far!
Is it ok if I replace Chillmaw with Baron Geddon? I don't have Chill ;( or do you think Excavated Evil would be better? I just figured Geddon because it'll still give some board state and hate while still doing AoE damage?
just a thought
Playing this deck in ladder the last couple days. First day I went from 25-15. The next day I went 15-8. I stood at 8 for 2 days. Then on the 5th day I hit rank 5. This deck has worked very well at all ranks so far. 8 more days this season, lets see if this deck can take me to legend. This deck is the best dragon priest I have used so far. I replaced chillmaw with deathwing though. People keep arguing with me that this deck doesnt work in the comments here but in 5 days I went up 20 ranks.
Hey Demaier, great results.
Can i ask why you use a Deathwing? If the game goes to fatigue (usually when Deathwing is played), won't you be dismissing the cards we earned from Golden Monkey?
I have a bit more time this week and might push for Legend also. I'm at rank 6, exclusively using this deck.
Firstly I never play Deathwing unless I have no hand, or its my last hope. I use it very late and remember that you don't throw the cards in your deck away, only your hand. I keep Deathwing in my hand for a while meaning that all my cards that get buffed from having a dragon get their buffs. I found that Chillmaw tends to harm me more than them. They just target with a spell when I have control. I actually don't often play theDeathwing. Games that run long and I run out of cards in my hand, and I let them play their hand to get control, next I play Deathwing and they can't kill him, and I sacrifice nothing to summon him. This deck lacks enough board clears.Deathwing has let me beat jaxxarus a few times. I beat shaman,pally,priest,mage,warrior,rogue,hunter. Druid beats me a lot. Lots of otk with savage roar. Pretty much they put shade of naxxramas out, (I hate having to wasteHoly Nova on him), then they put 3 treeants with charge and savage roar and otk. The warlocks you cant get early game or they swamp you with giants. If you wait until later on you will need to face jaraxxus. I have found that the best way to fight them is to attack them to about 20hp , and not finish them until you can otk them with your control and maybe a Blackwing Corruptors battlecry. If you cant achieve this then save your empower to take giants late game and Lightbomb when there are 2-3 big minions on his side, then Deathwing to get rid of the rest once he plays a few minions, Deathwing can hit 12 dmg so you just need to find a way to deal 3. Those 2 classes are the hardest, warlocks I lose most of the time but can sometimes win. Druid is hopeless though.
Hey! Played this deck. Went 6-1, 2 vs legend warlock and patron warrior. Deck is good, the only weakness is that you have spare your taunts, play monkey only if you ran out of fuel. I substituted Chromaggus for Chillmaw because I don't have it and lost to murloc paladin because of that. Make sure you get it!
Any replacments for chillmaw?
I like this elise/dragon priest deck, the only change i made was adding in another light bomb for a holy nova. you should've have the early game pretty often, well i think light bomb makes more of an impact than holy nova.
Been playing exclusively priest lately, only deck I've actually been able to climb with. Well done.
this deck is crap
Yes Chuck. My original version had him in, instead of Entomb. I just found that he would often give me trash that i couldn't even use more often then not. He and Confessor Paletress sometimes slow the deck more than it already is.
I cant wait for use this Deck...but i still have to craft some cards..
matches are very long, not effective for the ladder.
Long? You are not playing right. This is a very fast deck.
thats hilarious, priest games usually take longer than "face decks".
yes this deck is useless.
