I've been laddering with this deck today for a several hours and changed a few cards:
Trogg -> Dr. Boom
Piloted Sky Golem -> Light of the Naaru
Holy Nova -> Lightbomb
All the changes are due to increased activity of aggro decks at the start of the ladder. Dr boom is better than trogg vs aggro. Light of the naaru is a good tempo heal, and removing one 6 drop (sky golem) makes our hand less clunky. I also found that changing one holy nova for lightbomb helps as 2dmg aoe board clear just doesn't cut it sometimes.
Here's the most recent run:

Hi guys Jessica there. I've been a frequent legend player and first time managed to do it with control priest.
Proof:
So I've been climbing with this deck for the past couple of days (from rank 5) and the undertaker nerf finally gave me the kick to push for legend.
This decks absolutely MURDERS handlocks, warriors, midrange paladins (look at winrates) and other control decks.
2x swd, voljin, mind control + endless big threats = RIP in piece all other control decks.
It has great matchup vs midrange / aggro decks as well thanks to pyromancer, 2x nova, auch combo etc. You just wipe the board and drop big stuff ezpz. As you can see all matchups are at least 50%. Overall winrate is 70+%
How to mulligan:
1. Mulligan for: cleric, cultist, injured, pyromancer, smite and auchenai
2. If you have 2 of injured/cultist/pyro/auchenai you can discard one of them
3. If you have one of those: injured, cleric, auchenai then don't discard circle of healing
4. Dark cultist is usually better 3 drop than injured unless you have circle combo.
5. Circle + injured is MVP vs priest / druid. (they can't remove it)
6. Keep Power world shield if you already have cleric/pyro
7. Keep harrison vs warrior and pally
8. Keep SWD vs handlock
FAQ:
1. Why no Dr boom / rag?
What I noticed is that every time I would drop rag/boom it would get automatically killed by BGH. I found that trogg/sneeds/ysera are much more sticky.
2. Why pyro instead of shrinkmeister?
Because midrange decks are still a thing. You need something to clear the board vs unleash the dudes, mech mage and occasional zoo.
3. Wallet priest fag die
mad? RIP in pepperonis undertaker.
yo. thx for posting the deck. But i have huge problems with it. I own every card except sneeds (i use rag instead). But i always get rushed before i can play any card. Can u help me pls?
Am i allowed to add u that u can spectate a game or something pls?
Phenomenal Deck, bug thumbs up. Been playing with it since you posted it on reddit, I teched-in Lightbomb, but I see you changed it too, it improves aggro/midrange matchups a little more I feel.
Another strong addition is The Black Knight in place of Cabal Shadow Priest, but thats more of meta choice probably.
I'm not really happy with the dark Kultist. Still a lot of deathrattle hunters on the way- what do you thing about replacing him with the Lil'Exorcist?
really interesting deck will play more when i have the time good job
Any good remplacement for Harrison Jones?
My general experience with this deck: get only 5+ drops in the mulligan phase, lose board control immediately in the first 2/3 turns, waste ~5 turns' worth of my life trying to get back into it while gradually losing health, lose the game.
can u give me link for tracking stats like u have?
JessHS do you have a Twitch channel to watch you stream this deck?
Warrior shits on this deck sadly.
I just crushed 2 warrior with a similar deck,
try to get cleric + powershield on turn 2
How on Earth are you losing to Priest as Warrior bro? You have every single answer to all these cards in the late game?
Hey, i like your deck, what do you think about adding [card]Thoughtsteal[/card] ?
He's been getting tons of value for me. Try to save him for when you have established a solid board.
I would also very much like to get a comment about this from JessHS, cause I am also wondering if Troggzor is so valued? I can see the point with him, but I would like to get some practical feedback, if hes actually worth crafting to put into the deck :)
I've played around with Troggzor in various decks including variants of Control Priest. It's really not an essential card because the current meta has most decks cutting spells for minions. A few months ago when everyone was loading up on all the removal spells they could get it would have been insane. He can be replaced by a Sky Golem or any solid 6-7 drop and it is unlikely that you will miss him.
I would advise against crafting him if you don't have him. I got him off packs and while I love the idea of Troggzor I've struggled to justify using him in most decks.
Tumri & JessHS appreciate your answers! Interesting point of views..
that's what dezertstorm meant by "win more" card
Solid deck. Fits the meta well. Nicely done
Thx for sharing! Looks really great!
Also..why sky golem over Cairn? Isn't Cairn better suited for the hero power? Thanks!
