No. This deck is currently the best-performing Priest deck in the game according to HSReplay, including on higher ranks (Legend-5). Sure, any deck can be improved with sufficient testing, but there are no easy improvements to this one at the moment.

 In the first day of a season - 5th rank.
Truth. It seems to me it is a maximum for this pack. As you think. On it it is possible to reach a legend (5 rank - N - legend)?

And last.
what to replace - mind blust

This deck as such was obviously killed by Mind Blast going to Hall of Fame. I thought it killed the whole archetype, but I was eventually able to find a way around it.

I played this as part of my Legend climb this season (from rank 2 to rank 1; guide coming in the near future):

Are there any high value legendary or epic cards that you would put into this deck if you could?

No. This deck is currently the best-performing Priest deck in the game according to HSReplay, including on higher ranks (Legend-5). Sure, any deck can be improved with sufficient testing, but there are no easy improvements to this one at the moment.

THANK YOU for posting this deck! I am a f2p player and struggle to find good cheap decks. Since i created this one ive been wiping the floor in ranked!

How are you supposed to play aggressively with a deck that has 2 2-cost and s 3-cost threats? What are you supposed to play before turn 4 if you don't get a good draw (which you won't most of the time)?

You hard mulligan for your early game minions, and simple math can tell you that you get them most of the time.

I disagree (not trying to be snide here, legit, and I did try hard-mulliganing and had one game where I had a solid attacked before turn 5):

1 - (20 ^ 6 / 30 ^ 6) ~ 11/12. Seems good, but we're including Northshire Cleric as an early body, which in my experience, is a desperate move as Priest, particularly if you have nothing else. So...

~ 6/7

But now we're assuming that playing Librarian on its own as a crappy cousin to River Crokolisk, or Magma Rag....excuse me, Faceless Rager, on its own, isn't essentially a concession...

And so on, and the odds get BAD if you want to trade well before turn 5. The problem with "Mulligan for your early drops, and do the math", is that your early drops SUCK. 1 is a 1/3 without any useful abilities if you play it turn one, 1 is a 2/3 for 2, vanilla if you play it before turn 4, and even then, you NEED another card, 1 is a vanilla 5/1 before turn 4, and again, you NEED another card, and 2 are worthless without another card, because you have no way to taunt them up. You need, minimum, 2 of your early drops to have a hand with any board presence, and even then, you simply can't attack until turn 4.

The other popular Priest deck (rez) has the same problem, but it swaps those useless minions for removal, which I think may be the way to go. Honestly, though, I think Priest is just in a crazy bad spot right now. Again, not calling you out. I have plenty of deck building experience myself, and couldn't come up with better, until I took in the meta at my Rank, and even that wasn't good. There is just no synergy or value, beyond individual cards (like Muerte), except you need explosiveness if you're 15 life behind. I feel like you need good matchups and lots of luck to get anywhere with Priest right now.



 

Uncommon decks can be cheesy

Really good now in the post-buffs meta, where silence is the most important ability!

OG, the deck rocks! Please add it to Out of Cards when you can. I would add it for you, but sometimes you are Ornery Guardian.

This deck is awesome, man. Thanks to this deck i reached my first 5 rank ever. And this in on the new acc i created 2 weeks ago. It has good winrate(67% according to Deck Tracker) vs popular decks, except shamans(~30%). Very satisfied with the results. Thanks again and sorry for bad English KKomrade

Thank you very much for posting this deck. I played some silence decks--mostly druid and shaman--way back before the first standard rotation: my experience is people hate using removal on Ancient Watcher and Arcane Watcher even when it is the best play.

I played it at low ranks and had a nice 7 match win streak (had "play 30 priest cards" quest).  With a good mulligan, you can really out-tempo the fast decks in the meta before they know what is happening. I ate a couple of mech hunters alive.

what do you thick about gadtezan auctioneer in here?

There are not even that many spells in the deck. Auctioneer is not a good fit.
