With the rise of Death Rattle hunter and all the counter decks,grinding the ladder has become rather difficult in the meta. This deck is just a fantastic deck. I took it from rank 10- 5 in 2 hrs. The deck has enough of a aggro core that you can easily gain early advantage, and a fair sized mid game, and several end game win conditions that will push you to victory. Now because this is a priest, you can easily drive your opponent crazy.

From IceGirl

This priest deck starts off with what makes the deck so amazing: Cabal Shadow Priest, Shadow Madness, and Sylvanas Windrunner give the deck the ability to steal your opponent’s minions. Normally, such tactics would need a control deck.

In the case of this deck, because of a very aggressive opening that includes Undertaker, Zombie Chow, and Haunted Creeper, its early plays are as fast as any aggro. To play this deck vs. an aggro matchup, you can trade your aggro minions for their aggro minions.

Versus a control deck, use the speed advantage in the early game to damage their life total and then use your control card to prevent a comeback.

Against a midrange or combo-style deck, use your early game for favorable trades and hold onto key cards like Shadow Word: Death, Auchenai Soulpriest, and Circle of Healing as solutions for falling behind on the board to the opponent.

A last word of generic advice: try to not play the card Thoughtsteal on turn 3; it is usually better to play a minion. Thoughtsteal is best played when you have excess mana and no better plays. Also, you can play Thoughtsteal as a way to get information about your opponent’s deck if you are confused in the matchup.

The final thing I want to say is a possible replacement for Sylvanas Windrunner would be The Black Knight.
