Hello guys, I'm in love with Shadowform Priest since I saw Kibler playing against one. With Shadowreaper Anduin rotating into the wild, Shadowform can be a thing again. I was never a competitive player, just playing the decks I found fun and enjoyable I dont want to play a deck which is unfun to play against but I also want my decks to be at least playable in ranked for at least few ranks. So.. I build this deck even though I suck at deckbuilding but, the real reason why I build this deck is, maybe some people can give me some ideas about which cards to put or which cards to remove/replace. In case you have any question about why added which specific card feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to help me to make this deck better. So.. here's Shadowform Control Priest;
Changes/Theorycrafting:
-1 Mossy Horror +1 Madame Lazul
I guess we have enough board clears, I tested Mossy Horror and it end up a dead draw on most match-ups, I am currently 4W 0L against Zoolocks at Rank 15 if you want you can put Mossy Horror for extra board clear. I think Madame Lazul can help us in control match-ups, will test it and then I will tell you my opinion about this replacement.
-1 Felsoul Inquisitor +1 Mind Blast
I put Felsoul because I though we need extra life gain when we are in Shadowform but I also realized that, we dont have much synergy with Archmage Vargoth. So I ended up adding 1 copy of Mind Blast for 10 damage plays.(maybe 12 or 13 with shadowform hero power)

-1 Thoughtsteal +1 Acolyte of Pain
Deck requires draw so, I removed 1 Thoughtsteal because I was never lucky with it and replaced it with Acolyte of Pain.
-2 Grave Horror +2 Earthen Ring Farseer
Grave Horror was a good but dead card early in the game, because I face lots of aggro decks I ended up putting 2 Earthen Ring Farseer because the lack of heal after using Shadowform.
-1 Madame Lazul +1 Alexstrasza
Madame Lazul was not good as I thought she would be. She may be good in control matchups but I dont play against control that much. With the removal of 2 Grave Horrors I decided to go big and give Alexstrasza a chance again. After putting some early game minions into the deck, I hope that those minions will hold this deck a bit against aggro until the late game.
-1 Earthen Ring Farseer +1 Shadow Madness
Shadow Madness is pretty good against deathrattle hunter for example Mechanical Whelp
-1 The Black Knight +1 Shadow Madness
For last 2 days I cant seem to use The Black Knight and he end up dead draw for me, so I replaced him with another copy ofShadow Madness
I made a variation and used Lazul's scheme and Cabal Shadowpriest for some fun and surprisingly large swing opportunities
The alpha version of the deck had that two cards. I faced lots of aggros and 6 mana was a bit much so I decided to remove them. But might try them again now that meta settled.
I'd be interested if you both have been able to theorycraft any further on this deck. Been craving a shadowform deck since anduin went to wild
Hi, I've been making changes to this deck for a while, and I will keep doing it until I am satisfied with it. If you get a chance to play this deck it would be awesome if you can make a comment / give a feedback about it so I can improve the deck for better. You can also check Wiiry's Dragon Shadowform deck here;

I've seen good results with this list except I changed Madame Lazul for a Sand Drudge. I feel it gives more survivability against things like murloc and such and it's been working well. I've beaten every silence priest mirror too^^
Also considering replacing a pyro for something. I've had many times where it was a dead draw
Mazino#1000 is my discord - add me and lets talk about it
Thank you for your comments, I added you on discord. I did some changes on the deck but I didn't posted here since no one saw or commented about the deck on the hearthpwn. Write me when you are online so I will send you the last version of the deck. Also I thought about adding Sand Drudge before, but having few spells was the thing causing me not to put it to the deck. Maybe we will work together to make a better version of it. Thanks again for your reply.
