Hello All!
So once I reached rank 5, I decided to explore more decks. I came across a silence priest in ranked and I thought, hey, I'll make my own! Sooo few games later, i climbed from rank 4 to Legend in a short amount of time. This is my first deck that I'm sharing on here and I hope you guys will enjoy it!
I went 37-13 from rank 4 and to Legend 22 currently. From the stats, you can see that the deck is really strong against Shaman (mainly Elemental Shaman). The deck is also strong against Taunt warrior. Pirate Warrior is a hit or miss, depending on your starting hand. Quest rouge is an issue if they complete the quest and play it by turn 4 or 5.
It's hard to pinpoint if the other person is aggro or control in the current meta, so mulligan based on aggro.
You want a combination of the following cards in your starting hand for the most part:
- Northshire Cleric
- Humongous Razorleaf
- Ancient Watcher
- Acolyte of Pain
- Silence
- Kabal Talonpriest
If you know you're against a zoo like classe like Warlock, Druid(new aggro druids), or Pally (new murloc pallys), then you would want to try to aggressively mulligan for Circle of Healing and Auchenai Soulpriest combo to clear their board in the early game and win by them having used all of their resources early on.
If you have coin, keeping Purify and Ancient Watcher is a very strong combo.

EDIT:
So the meta is always changing and I decided to change a few cards to the current version i'm running.
Changes:
-1 Acolyte of Pain
- 1 Sunfury Protector
- 1 Bittertide Hydra
- 1 Auchenai Soulpriest
- 1 Kabal Songstealer
+2 Shadow Visions
+1 Lyra the Sunshard
+1 Embrace the Shadow
+1 Mass Dispel
Explanation for changes:
Shadow Visions is a great card and adding two of these has allowed for the other deck changes. Shadow visions allow you to dig for situational cards based on the current board state. You can create another Divine Spirit for when you need a bigger taunt or Embrace the Shadow for when you have Circle of Healing but no Auchenai Soulpriest and need to clear the board.
Shadow Visions also creates the ability to have more potential Silence in your deck, which allowed for room to take away - 1 Kabal Songstealer and - 1 Sunfury Protector (because more minions will be used as big threats instead of defensive targets.
Mass Dispel is specifically teched in for Taunt Warrior. Many times there are multiple taunts in the away and the combo is in hand, so Mass Dispel helps with that. It also helps to free up the other silences in order to save those for your own minions and not have to use them on the enemies.
Lyra the Sunshard is a great card to get more situational cards and because of all of the cheap spells in the deck, it tends to get a lot of value.
If you want to see me play a few games with the new updated deck, I have made a highlight video from a stream I did!

So wich 3 did you change?
As much as I want to like this deck, it is kicking my arse all over the place.
My problem with this deck is, it is far too slow if you don't get your combo early.
Most of the times I cannot really do anything as I don't get the rare card combination you'll need early game.
Placing a minion at turn 2 or 3 and not have the 0 mana silence ready is devastating for your game.
I hope others are able to get this deck to work but unfortunately I have not been able to. 2-9 so far. I'll go back to the other decks again.
Couldn't agree more friend. Too slow and way to combo reliant. I had a game where i didnt draw a minion until turn 6!
I made these changes and felt it made the deck a lot more consistent:
-1 Bittertide Hydra (just too big and awkward)
-1 Auchenai Soulpriest (often just felt like a dead card in my hand)
+2 Injured Blademasters (Synergise with circle of healing, which you're able to pick up more of with Shadow Visions, and act as another accessible tool to combo with)
Would recommend them if people are finding they can sometimes reach turn 4 without drawing a useful minion.
I like the sound of Injured Blademaster in the Circle of Healing version.
How is it playing out for you?
I llike the idea too.
It is more consistent with Blademasters.
Just a comment to make your change even better than it already was. Injured blademaster is very hard to remove for priests. As priest are a lot more common nowadays, It's a very strong minion against them. Bittertide will be removed easily by them.
Just to followup on that post, I found the blademasters helped but didn't fully solve my problems. I ended up rather radically restructuring the deck to deal more efficiently with hunter.
That's the list if anybody was interested in the comparison.
Hey thanks for the inspiration, I've made this wild version if anyone is interested. Currently 10-2 from ranks 5 to 3.
Zombie Chow is boss as it allows for an early buff target with an added bonus to combo with Embrace the Shadow.
If only you could put Ancestral Healing in this deck, would be insane!
Very cool deck. My problem is that i am facing too many rogues. Waaaay too many. Like 8 out 13 matches. I am playing Bingo Priest. I need to have the combo pieces by turn 5 all on board or it's a loss.
Rank 5/4/3 back to 4
Rogue is actually one of my best matchups. Because their board is relatively dead in the early game, you can set up the combo no problem. Then, just before they kick off, bam, 32 damage.
I have to disagree here. If you dont draw the exact right cards even 4 turns isnt enough.
I never actually thought this type of deck could be competitive someday but it looks like it does quite well :D If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot! I made a short video showcasing the deck which I definitely hope you guys enjoy.

i man ... if i play like this i get punished so hard.
and hes like rank 10.. HOW?
ps: ok i guess pirate warrior and face hunter style ... aka nobrainer.
Yeah I hate this guys videos he has no personality and is a terrible player. Just wish he would stop posting.
Kiwi is friendly, positive, and found himself a nice little niche giving people a basic idea of how a deck plays before they decide to craft cards for it. This was obviously his first attempt at playing a new archetype in a new meta. Even if you were a high level player, and Kiwi were the worst player, I'd still value his presence and input over yours. You have some growing up to do.
Oh look, Kiwi made an alt. You really showed me, huh sweetie?
I went back in time 8 months, made an account, made a couple other posts that have never referenced or interacted with Kiwi before to remove suspicion, waited patiently for you to be a jerk, then pounced. Guilty as charged, and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you butthurt kids!
