So I'm going to go ahead and preface this by saying I am very new to this game. I got hooked and was grinding all the way from Apprentice to Gold over the course of about 2 weeks (which is when I first started playing the game). I've played Priest exclusively through the ladder as well. So when I got to Gold, I was initially doing ok with Res. Priest but when the meta shifted I was getting destroyed by Rogues, Shaman's and Warlocks (and the occasional DH). With that being said, I threw together this deck based on:

1) Some of the key cards I was seeing in Tabbue's deck because that seemed really popular. 

2) Some of the cards I feel like pop up in just about every successful Priest list (i.e. Renew, Penance, Nova, etc.).

3) Cards that I felt like would give me an answer to some of the things I was seeing a lot from my opponents that were giving me a lot of issues. Lol I seriously would wake up every morning and just keep trying different decks every day (some from the forums, some I made myself) but this is the first one that has been very consistent. 

Ok, results.... It's not a huge climb to legend or anything but I went from Gold 10, 1 Star and an extremely long losing streak (seriously was like 0-12 or 1-14 or something crazy I didn't keep track) to G5 3 stars, which is a PR for me. If this deck can help others at any level please let me know. I'm having a lot of success with this list and it seems to give me answers for a lot of the stuff out there. Additionally, when I make it to the end game I just have way too much value for my openers to sustain (even if they get me pretty low on health, once I weather all their attacks I take over and cruise). 

If there are any questions about cards or anything or if anybody wants a detailed write up of anything let me know and I'll do my best. Good luck. 

Edit: So I removed Vargoth and added Mo'Arg Artcifer. Gives me another minion to use early game in combination w/ Sethekk Vielweaver to get even more value out of him. Seems to be a much better fit because an active Sethekk early can win you a good amount of games.
