Having played around 20 games with Galakrond priest.
I noticed that while he is really strong in mid late game in early in lacks power and when you meet an aggro you don't get enough time to do something about it.
This is a (early) version of my Galakrond priest that I will keep on working the next days.
If you got any tips/improvements please let me know

Guide :
Generally you want to go for your low cost cards in order to have an early game and try to avoid having more than 1 dragon in your hand since you might get Frizz by turn 4 and the more dragons you have in your deck the greater the value becomes.
Whle you want to do the invokes asap since you will get another priest minion in your hand you want to keep Madame Lazul for late game since at that time it is the most beneficial to know your opponent's cards.
Legendary replacements :
Kronx Dragonhoof : Honestly do no try to replace that card.It's the best card in the entire deck and it is a really good for a lot of different situations.
Madame LazulFrizz KindleroostMurozond the Infinite : While all of these cards are great and each card has a role to play in case you don't have 1(or more) here are the replacements I recommend.
ChameleosSeancePrincess TalanjiBrightwingEvasive FeywingMindflayer Kaahrj
In Depth Guide :
Ok first things first.This is not an easy deck to play.I would advice some practice in normal games before going to ranked.Since the early game of the deck is neccessary to be as flawless as possible to have a good mid/late game.
Cards to keep during a mulligan :
Any invoke Cards like Disciple of Galakrond and Shield of Galakrond since they help you upgrade Galakrond and refresh your hand at the same time.
Firetree Witchdoctor,Madame Lazul,Divine Hymn,Scalerider
Cards to always Mulligan :
Forbidden Words,Fate Weaver,Omega Medic
Special Mulligan :
Frizz Kindleroost,if you have her in your opening hand mulligan all your drakes and play her asap even at turn 3 with coin if you can.Since it will give you a huge boost in your deck.
Playstyle :
Generally try to simply answer the board of your opponnent in the early game while invoking Galakrond.
When you have upgraded Galakrond to his second of final stage wait for the right moment to play him since he is a board clear and start pushing the board and game.
Also since Murozond the Infinite can't activate battlecries keep him mainly for strong bodies or board clears.
(When the meta settles in a few days I will have a playstyle for each class)
Card Replacements :
Madame Lazul : Seance,Thoughtsteal,Princess Talanji,Siamat,Barista Lynchen
Murozond the Infinite : Mindflayer Kaahrj,Princess Talanji,Plague of Death,Siamat,Archmage Vargoth
Frizz Kindleroost : Mindflayer Kaahrj,Plague of Death,Crowd Roaster,Siamat,Barista Lynchen
Many thanks to KDK for the deck spotlight even though he got really unlucky with his matches <3
Don't waste your time with galakrod priest. It will get you as far as rank 5 at best, and only because the better decks have already climbed the ladder. Quest Priest is far better.
In order for Galakrond priest to be any good, his bonus minions should cost 2 less.
I'll add another autolos for this deck: Dragon Reno Mage, its autoscoop, you just can't keep up tempo.
But quite fun to play with i have to add
Having a blast with your deck. I almost beat shaman. My board is so far ahead until he pull 4 8/8 rush at me. That was so bullshit.
Anyway, I have a lot of fun and not a bad winrate with this deck but I feel like seance is really good in this deck. You should consider adding it
It will be added.
Gonna hit rank 5 today/tomorrow and then will be able to test the deck to it's fullest
imagine if we had Duskbreaker PepeHands
It was actually my first though when making the deck.
Such a beast card :'(
62% so far in 24 games even though im missing Murozond the Infinite, Madame Lazul and Frizz Kindleroost.
i replaced with:
Thoughtsteal, Plague of Death and Seance.
I guess the Deck works fine for me expect against Aggro Decks like Pirate Warrior and Cancer Shaman..
I would recommed Madame Lazul for gathering intel, huge Value if you can steal a Galakrond, but Thoughtsteal can also provide huge value. Murozond the Infinite can win you games - a must have in this Deck! You cant really draw him consistent with the hero power, if you are missing him. I think Seance is a great replacement or addition to this Deck, since we got a lot of high value/impact minions right now, that can turn games.

I Replaced Thoughtsteal, Plague of Death and Seance.
Next Battle with a "Super-A.I.D.S-Cancer Shaman" ........ He leved because I copied his cards xDDD
Corrupt Elementalist xD
The shaman match up is always hard good luck xD
Once you get how the deck works it should be easy to pilot it.Still really happy to see you're doing well with it <3
Currently waiting for the Shaman overlord to drop so we can see how I can make it better but I got high hopes for it
(Ignore the other comment just a bug)
Not working against Shaman, 100% of loses...But it's true that actually on 20 combats I fight against 20 shamans ...
Edit: I confirm the more I play, the more I lose with this deck against all other class too, when the others are at turn 6 with cards ith 5 and more attacks, I cant do anything as there is only 2 AOE in this deck ....
I won some shamans but I will do some changes once shaman is nerfed
I don’t think any decks beat shaman
You got a -1 because this deck has 6 AoEs and not 2 ...
Well it has helped me a lot but as I have mentioned it's an early version and will be changed.Also everyone is free to take the core and work with it to create something more to their liking
If it not working for u make some changes and share.
I change the Deck for more healing in Early game.

It's not a bad version I will do changes as well but for now I am waiting for the meta to settle
My most profound desire is to have a Control Priest deck working, i've tried some of them now.
So, if you don't mind me trying to contribute, i'd like to present some points about the deck structure:
1. Hopefully i think the meta won't have many early decks, but the low mana cards don't seem to stand versus aggro or tempo decks.
2. Why not include Plague of Death? You only actually have Mass Histeria as a decent board clear.
3. Is Frizz worth in this deck? I've seen other decks with more valuable dragons and not including it.
4. What is the lategame value of the deck?
My biggest problem with similar decks is simply getting threat after threat i can't deal with, like Galakrond Tempo Warrior, or some Paladin archetypes.
Mine included 2x Plague of Death and more Rush minions, and that is what makes me think this deck wouldn't stand a chance versus strong midgame decks.
Hope nobody take my words the wrong way, i just want to help (and get helped) to make a good Control Priest happen.
