Here's Satellite's big spell priest he piloted to #3 and #2 legend the first week of the Kobold's meta. (Pictures from Satellite are at the end, along with video footage from several Hearthpwn content creators.)

Latest Updates: Removed the nerfed cards and went with what seems to be the best list right now in ranks 5 to legend. Faerie Dragons are great but it turns out Cabal Shadow Priests are better. Use on big minions you weaken with Twilight Acolyte.
Basic plan with this deck
1. Play minions for tempo. Buff your other minions or refill your hand. Keep putting pressure on the board. Use Faerie Dragon to contest 3 health minions.
2. Bring out your dragons to contest the midgame. Have Duskbreaker ready/activated and use it wisely! Use Twilight Acolyte to neuter big threats.
3. Pile on with big dragons Twilight Drake and Drakonid Operative.
4. As early as possible, drop Spiteful Summoner for a free 8 or 10 cost minion and a devastating board swing.
5. Leverage your big spells further with Grand Archivist or play them from hand.
List updated on 12/13 with Satellite's latest changes.
Basic mulligan strategy
Always mulligan for Northshire Cleric and Netherspite Historian.
Against aggro always keep Duskbreaker and possibly another dragon.
Against slow decks (priest mirror, control warlock) consider keeping Spiteful Summoner.
With a good hand or the coin, consider keeping Kabal Talonpriest and Tar Creeper.
Alternate 2/3 mana cards to try/substitute
Faerie Dragon
Golakka Crawler
Curious Glimmerroot
Deathspeaker
Gluttonous Ooze
Mind Control Tech
Zola the Gorgon (reuse your Duskbreaker or Spiteful Summoner!)
If you want to run Prince Keleseth, Southsea Captain and his buddy Patches the Pirate like Firebat, check out: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1004039-big-spell-prince-tempo-dragon-priest (good option if you don't have Netherspite Historian)
If you want to run more board clears like Doomsayer and Dragonfire Potion, check out: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/999316-big-spell-dragon-priest
Here's both versions of the big spell/Spiteful Summoner deck (Satellite non-pirate and Firebat pirate) sitting in the top 5 of all priest decks in the rank 1-5 meta for the week of 12/13/17-12/19/17:
Enjoy the steamroll and may the big spells be with you!
Xixo won Seat Story VIII, going 3-1 in the finals with a similar deck and clinching with big spell hunter! He also brought big spell murloc paladin!

Thanks to Kadakk, Furo, and KiwiiNBacon for the deck gameplay videos below!

LOL
The decklistif you want to try : AAECAa0GBJG8AtnBApnIApziAg0IqAWNCPIMursC8LsCyssCps4C+9MCy+YC0OcC/OoC1+sCAA==
This deck produces some absolute blowouts. I'm pretty sure I've made a few Jade Druid players quit the game. 10/10 deck.
Replacement for [card]Netherspite Historian[/card] ?
Other deck. It's must have, you need this +2 Operative
im looking for that replacement too, ofc the deck wont be inviable without them lol.
Try the Firebat-inspired Prince Keleseth version. The link's in the guide.
Thia deck is absolutely murderous right now!

That's what I'm storming the Legend with right now; R3 and coming up!
No Kabal Talonpriest?
Already switched it in favor of Lich King. He's just awesome. Army of the Dead is incredibly powerful, AMS is simply great, and sometimes (only sometimes) you find yourself overwhelmed by some lucky jade druid, that's when death pact comes into play.
And a nuke is a cherry on top of it all.

You can always replace Lich King with, say, Ysera, but I prefer playing him.
Is your list the same or did you make some changes?
I like this deck with [card]Shadow Ascendant[/card]
I had a lot of fun with this deck! It is quite strong on the ladder currently, spiteful summoner can change the outcome of a game by itself and I am quite happy to say that it seems to be quite consistent. I personally prefer 8 drops over 10 drops but getting a deathwing dragonlord or a Y'shaarj can turn the tide. I recommend giving the deck a try if you haven't already + it's a pretty cheap deck to be honest.
I also happen to have made a video showcasing the deck in action which I hope you enjoy!

i like this concede EleGiggle
This deck is so fun to play and it actually seems to do well against aggro. Grand Archivist was my favorite card from the expansion and I'm glad to see it made it into a deck as fun as this one. Cheers.
did you mean this one?
