It's actually a deck that can have very different strategies and outcomes from one game to another. Totally depends on your opponent.
Yes, it can high roll and you can get the god draw and OTK on turn 7/8/9. But other times it's about utilizing your Lyra properly and manipulating the right minions to rez, choosing the right spells from Shadow Visions depending on the match-up / situation.
When facing aggro, play control. When facing control, try to get your combo going asap, save your burst at all costs (it'll be armour warrior of some sort I'm sure)
Honestly, the best advice you can be given is to keep practicing, it's a fun deck :-)

it loses 100% of the time against aggro and has limited damage so it cant even beat warrior. you need to extreme highroll this deck to even have a chance. how the hell is this considered good.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
Against aggro, you want to get a zilliax or witchwood grizzly and Rez it as much as you can. Against warrior, you want to try and combo off by having malygos and Velen die and resurrecting with spellstone, into mindblasts for 20. I prefer to cut the gargoyles for more anti aggro on ladder. I’m not the best with the deck, but I’ll try to help if you want to add me. ibbinx#1475
like what the fuck am i supposed to do with this? this is very common to have absolutely nothing to do.
Oh no, how will you ever survive that 4 attack board presence.
the point is i have to waste a high value card or risk burning something.
in this case, i opted to burn anduin.
i think this deck is just overrated trash.
You just don't know how to play the deck man.
You burned Anduin to not play a card right? Why would Mass Hysteria be a must keep against a defensive warrior deck? Why is a 2nd one and a psychic scream not enough?
When you're playing a deck with a high curve you need to quickly distinguish what is a throwaway card and a must keep. That's just one of the aspects of playing this deck, a deck which I believe is one of the harder to play in the meta. Because the deck relies on resurrection of minions and comboing your opponent, every microdecision matters. Do you tempo a velen to get it killed? Do you hold onto it for guaranteed burst? Do you shadow visions for burn or a spellstone?
I really think you need to watch a streamer play this deck to get a sense for it. I always thought this deck looks like it doesn't make any sense and shouldn't work, but in the hands of good players it can do amazing things.

A bit like OTK Paladin. I can play Gallery Priest but not that deck, though to be fair it's only because I get pretty lucky with Lyra the Sunshard.
I've played between 20 and 30 games and have lost most of them.
for the record, ive been playing priest regularly since gvg and have nearly 3k wins with the class, so control decks are not new to me.
edit: just queued into what should have been an extremely favorable matchup, tess rogue. i drew no mass hysteria, no spirit lash, no psychic scream. my big swing turn was cloning gallery on 9, but i was already dead on the follow up turn.
i've lost every game with it.

Your inability to pilot a particular deck does not make it trash.
then help me out here, most of the time you will not have the answers and shadow visions will usually be a complete bomb.

Give up
Really? And how many games did you play with Gallery Priest?
This looks like salt, but I'm pretty sure you already know the path to the salt thread, Kaladin. XD
Made me laugh :-D
