they appear to be variants of mind blast shenanigans or mechathun. velen and malygos (future hall of famer) difficult to beat but some warlock variant can stop it (demonic project well timed) as can mage with secrets , but basically tons of armour is the main way

It won't be Hall of Famed simply for RPG reasons. They might nerf it to Spell Damage +3 or something, but they will never Hall of Fame just 1 of the Dragonflight cards.
Just wondering if anyone wants to share some tips / decklists to counter priests.
been getting destroyed by them on ladder, cheers
From the statistics I've seen, the best decks to beat priest (and still remain competitive vs other classes) seem to be:
Against clone priest: midrange hunter, even paladin, odd rogue, even shaman
Against control priest: OTK paladin, odd rogue, secret hunter, odd warrior, odd quest warrior
Other than that, I'm going to take this as an opportunity to promote my decklist, as 25% of my matches have been vs priest so far and I've been able to win 83% of them. While the sample size is still small, I can tell you from playing the deck that you're favored against them. It's in my signature if you want to check it out.
I personally play Odd Quest Dragon Warrior. I believe that matchup against Control Priest is extremely good for you and against Clone Priest you can remove their stuff (thanks to the Dragon Package, normal Control or Quest Warrior has problems mainly with Malygos), pressure them and also get a lot of armor. This is at Rank 2.
Its control priest, I can seem to win the game early enough before they wipe the board, summon all their deck, resurrect all their huge creatures, make all my creatures attack each other and die etc etc.
I just came back to hearthstone so these new decks are hard to full grasp how to play against.

That would make it absolutely useless :( I’d rather they hof than butcher the card like that!

Odd rogue is pretty good
what deck you usually encounter, big? clone priest?
Not sure of the type, just controls early game hard, then combos me end game. I have encountered 5 out of 8 of them.
Odd Rogue and odd warrior.
One destroys them before they can do anything and the other armors up every turn and gets out of reach of their mindblast shenanigans.
Could you describe their decks a little? Dragons? Mindblast? Something else?
I know a couple of off meta rogue decks that really punish priest right now.
You can probably play a pretty standard Odd Rogue though and have some success.
I had trouble beating Jaina's lifegain with my control priest. You might try one of those decks.

The cloning gallery version hates zoolock. The other versions can be easily out armored with warrior.
Play hunter like everyone and their mother. Just go secret-secret-double spellstones and zul jin on curve.
Midrange Hunter is good against both Dragon and Clone Priest, since you can either go wide or tall and dodge their AoEs
Can't really win if they just highroll you to death though
I tried having fun once. It was awful.

I love using this deck against gallery priest ->
quick mountain giant + marin are the keys for victory
