ok i suck with priest in arenas, highest wins i've done with priest was 2, lol
i easily do better with other classes effortlessly
so i decided today let's play the weakest link - priest...
and i think i drafted an awesome deck with awesome mana curve
noticable cards are 3holynovas, 2 northshire cleric, circle, injured blademaster, oh and as for the 2 mind control yess i wanted 2, i could've only picked 1 but i wanted 2 lol, could possibly be a bad choice
my guess is other people would go 10+wins with this deck, but i'd guess myself winning 3-6 max coz i suck with priest arena deck
anyway, going to start playing it now, and see what happens lol
2x Mind Control and 3x Holy Nova? This deck has a terrible curve imo. You have decent board control for early stages but by turn 6 you will be dreading having to choose between Holy Nova and Archmage.
I always pick priest when it comes up in arena, and this is a pretty good deck. Preferably 2 or maybe even 3 deaths would've been ideal, but I like the 3 holy novas. They will help you secure the mid/late game.
I also agree with your prediction. I'd expect this deck to go ~10+ wins. The losses only being from terrible draws/hands.
Tehstool can you please explain to me why having 3 5 cast AoE cards that do 2 damage is good for a curve? With all of the Deathrattle critters running rampant now, you would have to hold turn 5 and turn 6 to board clear, giving your opponent a huge curve advantage, and that is only assuming that they don't get a Belcher out too.

Not sure what you mean by the deathrattles. You are not always going to be put up against deathrattle minions, and you can also have deathrattle minions of your own that your opponent has to deal with. Holy Nova is very good because it gives you another way of dealing with the deathrattle minions. If anything Holy Nova has gotten better in arena. For instance, if that deck didn't have any holy novas, but instead had 3 high value cards, I would trade almost any card in the deck (except for lone death) for a nova.
first 12 wins run ever.... the highest i've done was 10 wins runs, quite often never over 10
this is my first 12!!!!!!!! i knew this deck was good since the moment i finished drafting it!!!!!!!!!!!
i was praying to god too that this deck so good should deserve something good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh i never expected myself to get 12 wins with priest, i always sucked with it, i always stay away from it, usually paladin is my top choice and the most consistent
they were awesome, i kept drawing into them, it helps me clear the board while healing my minions
multiple times using it with cleric(s) to draw multiple cards as well
they were the game winner of this deck, including spectral knight+temple enforcer
multiple times i was running into mages with huge amount of removals including a guy with 2x frost bolts, 4x fireballs, 2x polymorphs, spectral knight was the only guy stopping these removals
pretty much game was over once i reached into mid/late game where i start to regain control of board, and holy nova is an insane helping hand to allow me to regain the board
the early game of this deck only helped me sucked up damages/removals, the mid+late game was where this deck shines
I know Tehstool will disagree with me, but I totally did not expect that deck to go 12-0. I did not think the curve was that good and I expected your hand to get clogged with some of your higher mana cost cards. Regardless, grats on your wins!

Looks nice. You have a good early game presence and also good late game cards.
Good luck getting a lot of wins and also nice cards in the pack you'll open

thank you all for support!
Wowzers O-o congratulations!
I practically never play priest arena (as well as warlock). Maybe I should try it out more.
warlock is fun in arenas, i always try my best to draft a zoolike deck(low mana minions)
imo voidcaller is probably the best minion in warlock arena
they were awesome, i kept drawing into them, it helps me clear the board while healing my minions

Amazed that deck went 12 wins; garbage curve, short on early game and with a strong chance of your hand getting clogged by situational cards.
On another day that deck could quite easily go 0-3.
Seems like drawing cards through your Clerics with Novas and Circle of Healing would be critical to your success. Did it play out that way?

Card draw smooths out any mana curve ;)
drawing cards with clerics definitely helped me won games
but there were games without clerics as well and did perfectly fine from the value of mid/late game cards
