With Deathrattle being likely heavily influencing the meta after Naxx comes out, I've decided to create a Anti-Deathrattle Priest that, that can still take advantage of the deathrattle meta. This deck runs 5 different silence cards, including the never used in the current meta, Mass Dispel. I feel like an opponent spamming deathrattles could better be dealt with by mass silence, rather than mass aoe. Obviously this is completely a theorycraft as I can't test this deck yet, and I might find myself wanting a few more spells and thinning down other cards for those.

Since I had a lot of silence, I figured I might as well make the deck feature two cards that are beneficial to silence yourself. Rag, and of course The Beast. With priest having a 0 drop Silence, you can drop The Beast on turn 6, potentially getting a Undertaker you played earlier buffed further, and then silence it, removing it's downside. Now you have a +3/+0 Boulderfist Ogre on turn 6. That just sounds scary and I really want to try that out. 

I'm looking forward to getting to try this deck out once the Naxx cards are all out, and I think it could be a fun little deck.

UPDATE!: After seeing this deck on the front page I realized I needed to update it, bad. I've thought more about the deck since making it originally, and this is the version I've currently come to. The addition of Holy Nova and 2 Abominations gives the deck much needed aoe, and Soulpriest gives you a little more control too. The one Cabal Shadow Priest and the two Thoughtsteal add in with the theme of this being a Deathrattle deck to counter Deathrattle decks. You can take your opponent's own Deathrattle's and use them against them, and a little insult to injury. With testing once the set comes out to see if there is room for Circle of Healing, Wild Pyromancers, and other current main Priest cards sure to happen, this deck will likely evolve further. For now though, I like the state that it is in.
