Hey everyone, this is my take on Dragon priest. I used this deck half way through day 1 and had great success with it, climbing to rank 5 by the end of day 2. This guide currently includes the most common match ups for mulligans, but a full mulligan guide will be added in the near future.
Pirate Warrior
Pirate warrior will try to rush you down. Clear the board, you will want to prioritize clearing pirates to prevent card synergy. Try to avoid using Acidic swamp ooze too soon if you think you can handle the early pressure.
With the coin : Keep Wild Pyromancer, Twilight Whelp, Wyrmrest Agent, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Netherspite Historian Twilight Guardian. If you have Wild Pyromancer : Keep Power Word Shield, Potion of Madness.
Without coin: Twilight Whelp, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Netherspite Historian, Wyrmrest Agent.
Reno Warlock
You will want to be proactive in this match up. If the game gets drawn out and he plays Jaraxxus, it will be tough to recover. Try to put pressure on the board early, but do not over commit to the board, as Reno warlock has strong board wipes.
With the coin : Keep Twilight Whelp, Twilight Drake, Shadow Word Pain (For Doomsayer or Imp Gang Boss). You can also keep Wyrmrest Agent and Netherspite Historian, if you already have a dragon in hand.
Without the coin: Keep Twilight Whelp,Twilight Drake, Shadow Word Pain (For Doomsayer or Imp Gang Boss). You can also keep Wyrmrest Agent and Netherspite Historian, if you already have a dragon in hand.
Priest Mirror
Fight for the board, If you suspect they run Ysera try to save entomb for her.
With the coin: Keep Twilight Whelp,Twilight Drake, Shadow Word Pain (For Kabal Talon Priest, or Twilight Guardian). You can also keep Wyrmrest Agent, Netherspite Historian if you already have a dragon in hand. If you have a good opener consider keeping Drakonid Operative. This card is great, typically you will want to try and discover Drakonid Operative or Netherspite Historian, creating a loop of value.
Without the coin: Keep Twilight Whelp, Twiliight Drake, Shadow Word Pain (For Kabal Talon Priest, or Twilight Guardian). You can also keep Wyrmrest Agent and Netherspite Historian if you already have a dragon in hand. If you have a good opener consider keeping Drakonid Operative. This card is great, typically you will want to try and discover Drakonid Operative or Netherspite Historian, creating a loop of value.
Jade Druid
Try to flood the board early and play around swipe when making trades and heals. Put lots of pressure on Jade druid before they can set up a strong late game.
With the coin: Keep Twilight Whelp, Twilight Drake, Twilight Guardian If you are already holding a dragon Keep: Wyrmrest Agent and Netherspite Historian
Without the coin: Keep Twilight Whelp, Twilight Drake. If you are already holding a dragon Keep: Wyrmrest Agent and Netherspite Historian
TLDR; Fight for the board. Don't trade unless you feel you have to, since you're not really a control deck. You need to push face damage especially against Jade decks. Try to think of dragon synergy during mulligan phase and throughout the game.

I am sad to hear you haven't had any success with the deck, I am not sure what the meta currently is around rank 18 but i imagine it's quite varied. If you want send me a private message with your battlenet ID and i would be willing to help out with the climb
Work great ! Any hint for build a less "budget friendly" version of this deck? What upgrades are more usefull?
Thanks :)
I am glad the deck is treating you well! :). I think if you are seeing more control, good (less budget friendly) upgrade options would be to cut -1 Potion of Madness -1 Wild Pyromancer and add +1 Ysera +1 Ragnaros. But if you continue to see more aggressive decks, i wouldn't make these changes.
Does this deck work without Twilight Guardian ? I don't have it and its rotating out soon...
Hmm, Twilight Guardian is a very strong card in this deck. It has good stat value, dragon synergy and it's a taunt minion. But if i were to replace them, +1 Faerie Dragon + 1 Defender of Argus would be my budget replacements, cheap cards and you still have some dragon synergy and taunts. If you aren't seeing a lot of aggro (pirate warrior) adding a +1 Azure Drake, and +1 Entomb instead are some budget options for the late game.
Thank you! I will try it!!
What are some replacement cards if I disenchanted every single priest card i own?
Murlocs. Replace all the priest cards with Murlocs.
Make sure to get rid of some murlocs like Murloc Warleader and replace them with Magma Rager and Am'gam Rager because those cards are amazing.
Kappa
Firstly, why on earth do that. Secondly, at least do it for the classic cards only. Keep all the common priest cards from expansions etc at least!
