Hello guys..
I'm Rase... a Brazilian pro player
Free agent at the moment and looking for a new team =)
I always go for #1 and this season already got it with Jade Aggro Shaman
But now.. i was trying to make a new Priest
Dragon Priest is really good at the moment.. but the Ladder is infested with Renolocks and now some Rogues too (2 bad matchups)
So to improve this matchs and still good against others... I cut a few cards to use the combo: Velen + Smite + MindBlast (14 dmg)
Because with Dragon Priest, a lot of times you can pressure but don't have how to finish... So if you lost the board you probably lose the game.
So I did 87.5% W.R with this deck (14/2) and got #8 Legend -Proof of it - (probably going for #1 later)
Somethings about the deck choices and possible changes:
Smite and Mind Blast: One of each is just enough... don't need to use 2.
Twilight Wheelp: Good card but i have to cut somethings to use the combo. And you always want this on turn 1 but many times on the mid/late game you hold this to have a Dragon activator. So playing Alexstrasa, many times you already have one Dragon stucked on your hand.
Shadow Word Pain: Great card and have a lot of targets on this meta. If you don't wanna play the 1 mana potion or the Book Wyrm... Should play 2 pains.
Northshire Cleric: Must have 2... contest board against pirates and draw against others.
Potion of Madness: I really like this card, but you can change for the second Twilight Wheelp or the second Shadow Word Pain.
Brann Bronzebeard: Very good card with synergy in most of your deck.
Holy Nova: Really good against aggros and possible draws with Clerics too.
Book Wyrm: Some people are not using it at Dragon Priest... but i really like one.. because there is a lot of targets for it now. But maybe 2 is too much.
Prophet Velen: If you don't have it.. just play the Standard Dragon without the combo pieces :P
Alexstraza: It's a Dragon... Good after Reno and can heal you against aggros (won me some games doing this)
Dragonfire Potion: Like everyone, I started this expasion playing 2 of this on my Dragon's List... but now i realize that isn't so good... And Holy Nova is doing better for me.
Update: Now... there is a lot of rogues on ladder too... so DragonFire Potion can be a good choice. So you can replace potion of madness to play one of this.
The other cards i guess it's core.. and good to use 2 of each.
So you have any question... I'll try to answer as many as I can.

I've only played about 5 games with this deck but so far I'm loving it. I really like playing dragon priest but in the current meta I was finding it hard to finish off some games. I'm currently running double Twilight Whelp and only one Netherspite Historian but otherwise keeping it the same for now.
Love this deck! I won many matches because people think I don't have any burst/damage without a board, so they gamble going low health and them die to this magnificent combo.
Of course it isn't a perfect efficient deck. Without some draws in the start of the game, it may be really difficult to win. You have to understand when to control and when to go face. Some weird plays can win you games if you do enough face damage or control well enough aggro decks.
31-11 now, 73% winrate. Ok winrate, great creativity and a very fun deck. +1, bro!
Brazilian fag here by the way
Dragonfire Potion instead of Potion of Madness?
I don't know why people seem to think Dragon Priest is strong against aggro decks. If you don't a board clear and curve out you lose. If you curve and get board clear you sometimes win if they don't kill you fast enough. Priest is.still trash. Come back next year
Idk man, 2 mana 2/4 and 4 mana 3/6 taunts are preeeettyy good against aggro.
I'm playing with this deck last 2 seasons i had %62 win rate i did some changes still best dk Priest ever.
I am enjoying priest again. Thanks for the deck
nice deck, but really unstable. I played 11 matches for now and here are the troubles.
1. Starting hand is really bad in half of the games. There are 3 states of it. 1) Normal hand (u have all creatures for tempo. Like cleric, historian and another dragon) 2) Hand full of spells. And its nice if u have at least swd and swp, but usually its nova and madness. 3) Full hand of 4-6 manacost cards. 4) Normal hand, but w/o dragons. I saw it twice till 11 games. In one of them i drawed first dragon on 5th(!!!!!!!) turn. It is the turn when pwarr have a lethal btw.
2. Missing dragonfire potion. Now im trying to play with it instead of one corruptor (he is not the dragon and plays same role).
Hope that it is my temporary unluck.
PS https://hsreplay.net/replay/wvwywTaHkakQSFy64Jk9vQ I love operative so much=)
same. Any ideas, what should be replaced to include it?
Best deck at the moment. Started 10-0 before Christmas and continued playing yesterday. Destroys Shaman, beats Mirror Priest and Mage. Ok against Warrior, Rogue and Druid.
I tried to make some changes, cutting 2 Northshire Cleric and 1 Power Word: Shield for Wrathion and other more expensive cards but failed against Aggro...
Deck lindo, muito bom ver brasileiros profissionais, competitivos, e que ainda ensinam! Ta de Parabéns, sou seu fan Rase!
pow.. valeu! brigadão mesmo pelas palavras! tamo junto!
Replacement for twilight dragon? I don't own them, I don't wanna craft em (I know they are insostituibile, in theory). Ty
So just don't play dragon decks =P
Twilight Drake is a replacement but not worth
I meant Twilight Guardian, was a mistake.
I just hit legend for the first time with this deck. In three days I was able to make it from rank 7 to legend. This deck is incredibly versatile. Tye discover mechanic synergy is amazing. Netherspite with one dragon the requires holding garuntees having a dragon for it.
I played this deck for 3 days now from around rank 17 to rank 12 currently 16-2 with it...it works very good against a lot of popular decks right now it looks like the 2 games i have lost with it were bad starting hands vs good starting hand jade druids....in the 16 wins I didnt really need the prophet valen let alone the combo at all to win the game...try to control the board at all times and get good dragons from pick cards to finish the game...Im thinking about taking out Prophet and adding in Rend Backhand it feels like its a way better drop over Valen...Thanks for the deck man this is the first Priest deck i have been successful with since the game came out lol.
Actually u can play any deck to go from rank 17 to 12, literally any, if u have some brains and exp in the game.
Literally any is a bit false, I think many legend players would struggle even with some slow gimmicky decks nowadays. But the premise of your point is true. Not everyone has a good collection and/or enough time to play effectively however
0-6 with this deck :)
getting recked by aggro and renolocks
