Working on V.2 with the Switcharoo ban
I made this crazy Giants Priest deck. Climbed from ~900 Legend to 500 with this deck going 20-7. It feels a lot like Darkglare except instead of killing yourself you heal yourself. Youre looking for pop off turns with the new Priestess Valishj and seance to do some crazy turns. The deck seems quite strong and a lot more reliable than the Darkness Board since you don't have to worry about drawing your minions.
Mulligan:
Always keep: Radiant Elemental, Handmadien, Switcharoo
These cards are what make the deck tick. Radiant is great to coin on into switcharoo or palm reading. Handmadien refills your hand after you vomit spells which then lets you vomit giants.
Almost Always Keep: Priestess Valish
She is the star of this deck. I recommend keeping her in the mulligan especially when you have things like radiant and power word shield or renew. Its also never a bad idea to have her and seance in your hand as this lets you cheat out a lot, a lot of mana.
Tips:
Illuminate is a very powerful card, and you want to find the right time to play it. One of the best plays I seem to make if I have a bad hand is to illuminate on turn 2, and then play shadow visions to get a 0 mana copy of whatever it is. Then you can have 2 0 Mana switcharoos or Palm Readings.
Loatheb timing is always important. This deck can be a lot of counting with the new legendary, and being able to know when to hold spells to perfectly drop 4 giants and a loatheb on turn 5 can be tough. I will also note that Priestess Valishj REFRESHES mana crystals so if you coin on turn 4 and pop off, you wont be able to play loatheb which makes it kind of a bummer.

Nice Deck. Wish i had seen it before the nerfs.... 6-3 at the moment
I replaced switcheroo with insight. Not that bad but i think switcheroo is king. Damn Blizzard. Change the card to "draw 2 minions"
*** Update *** 44 - 17 at the moment.... 70% Winrate. That`s not bad :-)
I must be really unlucky 1-4 in first 5 games and zero chance on the 4 losses
Deck's seems a bit slow to not contain board clears...
Well you dont need board clears when you are dropping 8/8s and 7/8s with taunt and then your opponent dies. If you are struggling vs decks like pirate warrior. Really try looking for the new legendary and radient + power word shield. The have a hard time dealing with a 2/5 on turn 2 or turn 1 and then you start cheating out cards faster then them. Hope this helps!
switcheroo is exactly what this deck needed. good stuff man
Its a shame its getting banned... I really like this card and wish that it could stay without boar priest existing. It feels good when my Priestess is a 0 mana 8/8 on turn 3.
yep, a perfectly balanced card dying for the sins of The Darkness as per usual. lol
Got 75% winrate so far (21-7). Diamond 3
Replaced one Gift of the Naaru with Whispers of the Deep which is great for clear opponent's board as well as return original stats to 'switched' minion
I actually had that card in an earlier version of the deck. Its a great deck card against board based decks, especially if your giant has been switched to a 1/1 or a 2/3. I liked it but I was facing a lot of priests and druids where I just had to get giants out as fast as possible. But
Im glad you did well with the deck! Ill be updating it after the switcharoo ban.
