A very successful build of a dragon Priest deck.
The cards have great synergy with each other. In the 50 games I played I almost always pulled off a 3 damage Holy Nova. I included 2 Shadow Word: Pain because of the huge influx of patron Warriors and lingering aggro decks currently on the ladder.
After heavily testing the deck and figuring out the most efficient dragon to have in the 8/9 mana slot, I have determined Chromaggus to be the best option. In most of the games I played with him on the board I was to pull a duplicate card. When you see him in action you will fully understand his place in this deck.
EDIT 1
I have tested Ysera in place of Chromaggus . I suppose it could be a viable replacement however I greatly prefer Chromaggus for the 1 mana discount. If you feel more confident in Ysera 's instant value but higher mana cost, feel free to replace.
EDIT 2
Now with Dragonkin Sorcerer . This card is absolutely incredible.

Let me know what everyone thinks. I am very open to criticism/suggestions.

Greetings!
Had a priest daily, so poked around on HearthPwn and found your deck! Not a priest player so
- Vol'Jin + Loatheb
-Cabal + Blackwing Tech
-Cabal +Mind Control
Worked fine! Got my two wins in 3 games! Thank you sir!
Nice mate! I'm glad you are enjoying the deck. Those are some interesting changes you made; I may try experimenting with them.
I wouldn't bother, I think yours is better I was just missing Vol'jin + Cabals.
What is the "chinese archetype" you are referring to? I made this deck myself two weeks ago.
I don't see the slightest resemblance between my deck and the one you linked. In fact they are so different, that if you click the "similar decks" tab below my list, his does not appear.
Love Dragonkin Sorcerer, want to build around.
Thanks for the deck! I got beat by a mage who got really lucky with flamestrikes and unstable portals, but I roflstomped a mid-range hunter who also got great luck getting two beast legendaries off his webspinners. A solid deck and I haven't even gotten to use a buffed dragonkin sorcerer yet!
Thanks mate glad it works for you! The more games you play with it the easier it becomes to adapt to even the most unfair situations.
Thanks mate! Maybe Rend has a place in this deck but definitely not instead of Holy Nova since it's our only board clear.
Instead of 1 Cabal or 1 Azure though? Thoughts?
The beauty of Twilight Whelp is it can be played during the late game without penalty. Having him in the mulligan with another dragon is a bonus in my opinion.
His ability is very unique so it will be hard to. Try Loatheb.
Played 5 games (around ranks 13-12). Worked pretty well, i'm 4-1 with it. If Chromaggus is not killed the turn you summon it, the game is won. Rellay powerful minion for a Priest I think. I'm just wondering about replacing 1 Azure Drake by 1 Shadow Of Word Death.
Thanks for the feedback! I will test that replacement and see if it's viable :)
why dont you just use lightbomb for the grim patrons and why arent you using blackwing technicians the synergy with the dragons makes it a sticky early game drop
and do you think chromaggus is better then ysera?
I did use the technicians but recently switched to Dark Cultist. It is overall a better 3 drop and doesn't require a dragon to be on hand.
I played ten games with this deck and my record was 3-7. Most of my losses were against aggro decks. I am either terrible, or extremely unlucky.
For aggro try to mulligan for Northshire Cleric, Shadow Word: Pain and Shrinkmeister. That usually assured me to stay alive until the later turns.
Spell power does not affect the heal on Holy Nova, why would you kill your credibility by saying that?
I use it as a board clear rather than a heal. Please excuse my typo :)
