Hearthpwn

This deck is designed for newbies who don't have enough cards for building top deck and don't know how to play against top decks in ladder. With it you can reach 12 rank easy and maybe can even reach rank 5 or legend!

About deck:

It doesn't contain any epic or legendary cards and any cards of expansions too. Craft cost is only 1400 dust, however I can assure that deck is pretty powerfull, have enough to win in ranked and looks strong against most of todays decks. This deck is easy and while playing with it in ranked you will learn basics of Hearthstone like other archetypes and cards.

Parting words:

This deck needs careful consideration about every turn. If you will stupidly start to play minions with highest cost - you will get nothing. Mana curve of this deck is very low so you have big choose what to play and this choose will affect on the game result. It is necessary to think a few steps ahead and choose variant where your opponent might have biggest troubles to clear your minions. 

How to play:

Dragons mechanic is not very difficult it doesn't need any explanation. However, I will give a few tips. Firstly, Dragon Priest is more midrange deck which means that your peak of power is mid-game. Secondly, don't play with Dragon Priest like Face Hunters or control deck - never go all in and never forget about playing a minions. And last, think about every your turn very carefully. You must think not only about what can you do, but also about what can do your opponent. But fot such calculations you need to know most of cards and archetypes, for this you need play a lot in ranked. 

Usage of cards:

Northshire Cleric - Good card draw, but use it wisely.

Potion of Madness - Very powerfull removal and have lot of using variations. You can use it for minion change or for stealing deathrattle, for instance gain card from Loot Hoarder

Wyrmrest Agent - One of the best 2nd drop against agro decks. Search it when play vs agro archetypes.

Thoughtsteal - My favourite card in this deck. You can found many interesting cards with it. For instanse Ragnaros the Firelord for lethal or some dragons. I add it because there is no any legendary cards and steal is your way to found it!

Drakonid Operative - The best Dragon Priest card which plays in any Dragon Priest deck. As with Thoughtsteal your Drakonid Operative can found lot of goods for you that can help you win.

Holy Nova - Good AOE spell to clear table.

Defender of Argus - Best answer to agro decks. 

Twilight Drake - Sticky minion, good when you have many cards in hand. 

Azure Drake - Increase the power of your AOE and gain card.

Possible replacements:

1x Holy Champion  and 1x Kabal Songstealer can be changed on 2x Twilight Guardian  if you have enough dust. 

Summing up:

My Dragon Priest is very good deck for new players who don't have lot of dust and any expansions, but wants to play on a par with other players in ladder. 

Enjoy deck and like to thank me. ^_^

UPD. Statistic of my 55 games from rank 16 to rank 7. Changed 2x Faerie Dragon on 2x Acidic Swamp Ooze because of lots of warriors.
