This is an early revision of the control priest I will make when Witchwood is released.

 

You'll notice I have a lot of 1 copies in certain slots.  This is because I really don't know yet which cards are going to be ideal at the release.  The 3/12 with taunt seems fantastic, but perhaps the deck will need more value to compete.  Well then Devour Mind will give 3 more cards.  Maybe you need more value but also need removal?  Holy water will do the trick.  Or maybe you desperately need more aoe with most of the aoe being removed?  Holy nova fits then.

Also one of the biggest changes this expansion is a dramatic reduction of healing.  Potion of Healing is gone, which is a big hit.  This basically forces you to go down different routes for healing:  Lifesteal or Quest.

I'll make a quest deck later, but this is a control priest so I've chosen to go the lifesteal route.

 

Another big change is a dramatic lack of ability to reduce the attack of other minions.  Unless you are going dragon priest, Cabal Shadow Priest has 0 synergy with any cards outside of Crazed Alchemist and its 4 mana double.

Time will tell what replacements are suitable.
