This is a more refined deck build to demonstrate a Bolf Ramshield/The Jailer combo.

The main strategy of this deck is to draw The Jailer and Bolf Ramshield so that by turn 11, one becomes immune to damage. I believe this is a new strategy I have come up with for priest, and that it doesn't fit into previous archetypes.

Handicap should be for The Jailer or Bolf Ramshield under most circumstances, though having Lorekeeper Polkelt, Taelan Fordring, Insight, Shard of the Naaru, Illuminate, Amulet of the Undying, Handmaiden, Educated Elekk, or Sunwell can all be useful.

Lorekeeper Polkelt, and Taelan Fordring,  are primarily to insure one has both The Jailer and Bolf Fordring by turn 10. Illuminate, trading Shard of the Naaru, or trading Amulet of Undying can be useful for either getting Polkelt & Fordring, or The Jailer & Bolf Ramshield.

The biggest challenges to this deck are: any very aggro deck for the early game -- the goal here is to keep the enemy at bay until turn 11; any build that uses Mutantus, Mad Duke, Dirty Rat, Far Watch Post, Deathlord, Hecklebot, can cause problems before turn 11; any build that does mass polymorph type spell or battlecry, or The Amazing Reno's poof battlecry can cause problems after turn 11. There is a limited protection against mass destroy spells, or destroy battlecries after turn 11.

After Bolf is played it is very helpful to play Seance or Grave Rune immediately on the same turn in case Bolf is destroyed. If Bolf continues to be destroyed, it is most useful to resurrect him with Eternal Servitude or Raise Dead.

This likely may be improved on, but the concept works with this deck in ladder play. This deck has 30 cards, but it's possible a 40 card Prince Renathal deck could exist.
