Came up with a pretty interesting alternative that I think some people will enjoy. I've been playing it all morning and I think it's a bit more consistent and a lot less clunky. It uses another raise dead instead of y'shaarj which makes the deck much more flexible and better against aggro. A couple other neat changes too, check it out.

Hey guys, figured I'd share a fun unique deck that I used to get to legend this season. I've had a really good win rate with it, and as someone who enjoys playing priest and control, I know these have been trying times for both. Below is a video of me going over the deck and explaining card choices and synergies.
A little side note -This deck can actually beat tickatus (about 50% of the time), which I talk about in the video briefly...
If you enjoy this deck and or have questions, please comment and like. Thanks and Have fun.

Wanted to post a little update...
So obviously I'm going to keep trying to improve this deck. Today I logged in to do some the weekly quests and figured I'd try some cards that have been on my mind lately, specifically wand maker. I decided to put in wand maker for the flash heal and claw machine. One thing priest struggles with is that a lot of it's cards are reactive. Both flash heal and claw machine are generally pretty reactive cards. Wand maker, is a card you can play whenever you want. Its a pretty clear mulligan target, applies early pressure/ board presence, and the priest 1 mana spell pool is quite small and good. I'm not sure if its "better" yet, but its sure looking promising... I went 7-1 in legend today (small sample size i know). Anyways, if you want to try 2 wand makers in place of a flash heal and claw machine, it's likely a safe bet.
Another thing, I haven't recorded any game play, but I will link some replays from the deck tracker if your interested in seeing how I play this deck. I guess I'll link the games from today.. the game I lost isn't really worth posting, I died on turn 5.

Well I played a little more because I wanted to really test out the wandmakers, and I think it is actually better so I've updated the deck list. I've gone 13-2 today, heres deck tracker with the match ups. Didn't hit much paladin (lost turn 5 to the one i did), but this deck generally performs very well against it. I think wandmakers should make it even stronger against paladin.
Hi all,
since the nerf I have been stuck between d10 and d6. I've tested different kinds of deck, but none really got me further. I've stumbled over this one, and thought I'd give it a try.
I play a slightly different list:
### CarnivalPriest
# Class: Priest
# Format: Standard
# Year of the Gryphon
#
# 1x (0) Raise Dead
# 2x (1) Holy Smite
# 1x (1) Renew
# 2x (2) Condemn (Rank 1)
# 2x (2) Power Word: Feast
# 2x (2) Sethekk Veilweaver
# 2x (2) Wandmaker
# 1x (3) Apotheosis
# 2x (3) Death's Head Cultist
# 2x (3) Hysteria
# 2x (3) Palm Reading
# 1x (4) Blademaster Samuro
# 1x (4) Shadow Word: Ruin
# 1x (4) Xyrella
# 1x (5) Taelan Fordring
# 1x (7) Soul Mirror
# 2x (9) Carnival Clown
# 1x (9) Malygos the Spellweaver
# 2x (10) Scrapyard Colossus
# 1x (10) Y'Shaarj, the Defiler

I kept the veilweavers and added some more targetted spells. To be honest...the List did not look stronger than any other deck i've played. And most of the games start with you fighting for survival. But what can i say - I started at the bottom of d10 and just hit d5 without losing a single game...
Thinking about dropping Maly... He never did anything for me... Either i have a full or an empty Deck. Maybe squeezing a scorpid in...
what about mulligans and what nots, just came back for this new expansion xDD
Missing Xirella sadly. Would love to try this one out
Nice version, it helped me to climb from D2 where I was stucked to legend, lost only one game against hunter, and won all the paly, warrior and mage matchups ( Was a little bit lucky against mage with my Yogg)
Thanks buddy

I've been playing a bit this morning and paladins have been giving me some trouble too, I've gone like 2-4 vs them today. I've died twice to alex which i think is kinda a new addition, after i was finally able to stabilize the board. I've been messing with the nameless one and it seems to help out a bit, silencing ogremancers, crabriders taelan to slow the alex draw, or some overly buff minion seems to help. I took out a condemn for the time being, not sure if its correct though. Thanks for trying out the deck
Any advice against paladins ? They are just destroying this deck over and over. I've lost all paladin matchups. I don't know if this deck is weak against pally or I am playing wrong.
10-0 losses so far. sorry, but this deck is completely useless in this meta.
Yes! Thanks for this! I don't have Blademaster Samuro so replaced that with Overlord Runthak and ran 9-0. Gotta keep playing before others catch on :)
Overlord Runthak feels insane on the clowns
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh makes the Clowns 7 mana, and sometimes with the discount from Insight
you can play the Clowns for 5 mana!### *tuesday Clowns (v1.0)

undeated so far with this version of Clown Priest......
looks really good on paper, but fails hard against thoese pesky hunters who are all over the ladder..
hmm I usually tend to do pretty good vs hunter. I went 5-2 vs them when i was climbing.. bad luck maybe. Thanks for trying it out though
finally a deck where you feel like you have a chance.
i most be better than you because i have 78% winn rate right now :)
:D
Could you make a mulligan guide? The deck looks super interesting. But are the point of the clowns just to fill the board with 4/4s? scrapyards to upgrade the clowns?
I might get around to a mulligan guide eventually, but I've linked some games from today (from deck tracker) so you can kinda check out what i mulligan for that way I suppose.
Essentially yes, the point is to make tons of clowns to the point where your opponent can't deal with them. With that said, different match ups play a bit differently and you can be more flexible in some situations depending on what your up against. Scrapyards are generally used to upgrade the clowns yep
any replacement for Blademaster Samuro and Xyrella ?
Thats a tough one, they both have a pretty big impact. Maybe a nova, drop apotheosis, and add 2 devouring plagues? that's just off the top of my head though
I swapped the nameless one for blade master samuro and it has worked well in the small sample size that I have.
