This deck is awesome! Lady in White is very powerful heading into the late game, giving big minions that are hard to deal with.
Add the OTK combo of Divine Spirit + Inner Fire and we have easy win condition
Mulligan:
We want to start with our Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield, Radiant Elemental, Nightmare Amalgam or Duskbreaker.
Start:
Making trades with our Northshire Cleric to get extra draw, we are looking to draw into Lady in White or Duskbreaker for board control. We can use Radiant Elemental for trades, as the OTK combo will come later in the game anyways with the big minions.
Midrange:
Ideally we want our Lady in White to start drawing into our large bodies that will hold board control for us going into the later stages. In the midrange fight, we have Witchwood Grizzly, Wyrmguard, Twilight Drake, and my favorite priest card Nightscale Matriarch!
With the large taunts in the way, forcing our opponent to trade and exhaust his minions or use their spell removal if they have any. We want them to use their resources on our first couple of minions so we are clear for OTK later.
Late:
Ysera can offer some powerful cards for control or good bodies for board presence.
Dream, Ysera Awakens, Nightmare are all powerful cards for this decklist. Dream removes a body from the boare, Ysera Awakens clears board and hits face for 5 + Ysera herself hitting for 4 or 12+ with combo. Nightmare can be used for lethal or risky removal on the following turn (not recommended).
When to combo?:
With Lady in White and the combo of Divine Spirit & Inner Fire also Power Word: Shield and any copies of either from Shadow Visions, we have huge pieces to take out our opponent with one shot.
Setting it up is the key.
This is why we have the large taunt minions and semi board-control cards in; Twilight Acolyte, Duskbreaker, Ysera, and Mass Dispel.
Keep in mind Inner Fire can be used defensively as well, by trading one of your minions into an opponent's and making it's attack lesser. Used almost like Twilight Acolyte
To give us the edge in controlling our opponents board, so we can set up the combo pieces and pew pew one shot. We use the set up when we have total board control, or have the pieces in our hand without an enemy taunt in the way for lethal.
Nightscale Matriarch + Divine Hymn:
This is a little extra beef to our board, if we have multiple minions on board that are damaged, we can play Nightscale Matriarch and with Divine Hymn to give us 1 or more 3/3 dragon babies that are hungry. The tokens at 3/3 stats are great for trading or adding more pressure to opponent.
I've played 10 games with this deck, as it stands I am 8-2. I've played against Shudderwock Shaman a couple times which seems like a sloppy deck and overhyped (yes I did), a bunch few hunter quests or Baku the Mooneater, and a Quest Lynessa Sunsorrow buff Paladin.
Edits:
-1 Twilight Drake / +1 Nightmare Amalgam
I feel the turn 3 minion is more consistent in trading into paladin, the Amalgam is still dragon type
-1Nightscale Matriarch / +1 Primordial Drake
Necessary for the possible 8/8 Drake, and the AOE effect from it against aggro like Paladin.
-1 Divine Hymn / +1 Holy Nova
The Divine Hymn can be powerful with Matriarch or healing the taunts; but the nova can trigger us a 3/3 token baby and also hit Paladin aggro for 2 damage (clearing divine shields aswell)
Great deck. Have you considered including Silence? In addition to its standard uses, you can drop it on a Witchwood Grizzly to set its health to 12. A turn 5 3/12 that can hide behind taunts while you wait for it to wake up and finish with your Divine Spiritx2 + Inner Fire combo has been a turn 6 OTK for me.
Yes I thought of using self silence. I got Golden Priest Class a while back with Silence Priest, still one of my favorite decks.
The reason I do not include this stratedgy in this deck is because of the Meta and the opponents. You never know what you will get; aggro, tempo or control, even mirror. So every card counts. Keep the deck stream-line so to speak and not try to get too cute.
Silencing the enemies is more important then our bear, and we need that taunt against paladin, hunter, tempo (rogue, druid, priest).
Glad You're having success, keep it up!

Is there any good replacement for Ysera?
- Primordial Drake
- The Lich King
- Nightscale Matriarch
- Cobalt Scalebane
Or any big body or taunt that could help in sustaining board like Rotten Applebaum etc
I've been using a sleeping dragon, a psychic scream and a cobalt scalebane for the cards i'm missing
Is Nightmare Amalgam needed?
Nightmare Amalgam is not needed for this deck to function. It's just a good body turn 3, and has synergy with Duskbreaker, Wyrmguard and Twilight Acolyte!
I recommend x1 if possible but can be easily replaced with other dragons like Cobalt Scalebane.
very interesting deck, would you recommend this over the ol' spiteful priest?
I haven't quite kept count but I've won against a lot of different decks now, many of them Shudderwocks, it's really powerful cause you have so many cards you can combo with. LiW is not the most helpful if im honest, she's better if the matches draw out longer (which they usually wont). Wyrmguard and Twilight Drake will usually have a lot of health, so you can 2x Divine Spirit them and then use Inner Fire for a quick kill. This works very well, because you have a few taunt minions to make sure they survive. If you use Shadow Visions you can get all the spells you need and Mass Dispell will remove all taunt minions and leave your opponent 100% open. I played spiteful before and it didnt work out at all, this one is amazing so far.
Reading your post, you understand the deck and can pilot it well enough to victory.
Keep it up and goodluck,
Cheers
unplayable at rank 5 right now, too slow
This kind of deck was played throughout legend for the past couple months (dragon/combo priest).
You aren't playing it properly or getting bad draws.
Duskbreaker, Witchwood Grizzly, any of the 1-4 drop minions (there are 12 of them in this deck loll)..
4 drop minions ? here is the problem, there is nothing to clean the board except two cards, and playing 4 drop minions after 4 drop minions doesn't get me anywhere when the board is flooded
just otked first try. amazing
What about 1x Unpowered Steambot in this deck in place of a Twilight Drake or the Chief Inspector?
I haven't updated this list since; but I wouldn't play Unpowered steamboat unless you are missing one of the other cards in my decklist.
The steamboat can buy time, but if you draw it beforeLady in White , you don't want to waste your Inner Fire on it defensively. It will just get chewed up quickly on turn 4-5.
Chief Inspector I put in for some Mages, Priest and Paladin. But the decklist I'm playing in Hearthstone right now is running Mossy Horror for the Paladin and hunter spam.
Ok, this is the first WW priest deck that really is working on the meta (rank 5). I did make a few changes, played and beat Odd hunter, Bakudin (baku dudes pal), spiteful priest and shaman....its 50-50 with warlock.
Cheers! Come back and update with further progress if You don't mind.
I have had good luck against Warlock (Mainly Cube), the Mass Dispel needs to be held onto until you know you can OTK the Warlock, then use your combo and clear taunts.
Maybe add another Mass Dispel or Spellbreaker?
Goodluck.
