Deck Overview:
Dragon Priest really popped off after the Blackwing Adventure but this deck got kind off forgotten when the Old Gods spread their madness around. Now it's back stronger than ever :) I'm happy to show you my new version of Dragon Priest!
Key cards & Controversies:
You always want to play on curve, that's the key of this deck. As long as you keep board control you're on the winning side. This deck has a few comeback cards like Chillmaw but I wouldn't count on those too much. Keep your minions alive and trade efficient.
Mulligan Strategy:
Twilight Whelp is the best one drop for sure! It's like Zombie Chow without deathrattle! Against aggro it trades 2 for 1 or eats away a spell.
Other cards you might want to get are: Blackwing Technician, Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield, Wyrmrest Agent for the synergy.
Major Revisions:
nothing changed yet

Thanks for all the suggestions you made. I really appreciate it!
I love dragon decks and finally one on a Priest and the new exp. Cant wait to try this when I get home! After I open my 50 packs. Hope I get something good. But this looks exciting.
Replaces for Ysera? :)
Nice to see an update for TGT. Really enjoying where TGT is heading to add even more to dragon priest. Having an ultra high chance for a two mana 2/4 taunt and a four mana 3/6 taunt just gives the dragon synergy a lot more. Dragon priest had a somewhat unreliable early game as it was too reliant on a few specific cards, but with these 2 fine additions, dragon priest would be a lot more consistent and thus a lot more viable. Hoping to play this deck soon (but getting the upcoming cards would be the obstacle).
I use Deathwing instead of Ysera.
This deck is awesome.. I climed rank !now!!
I simply changed Thoughtsteal to Deathload ! It is more stable!
substituting -1 Lightbomb with +1 Holy Nova due lacking of that card :(
and -1 Ysera with +1 Antique Healbot / Faceless Manipulator, Because sometimes i find Ysera only standing on my hand when facing aggro opponent
Anyway this deck is really awesome and fun to play!
Thanks
Hey dude, pls, write section about change of some cards. I just have no Sylvanas and Ysera (I replace them Thaurissan and Nefarian, but I want to see your opinion about replaces).
9 Drop*... Speaking of Ysera, have you tried any Divine Spirit and/or Inner FIre shenanigans? ALso potential for Lightbomb...
I think there are a few spells that would be better than Thoughtsteal, but it depends on how much you like hoping on RNG. I mean, sometimes you're gonna get epic comboes, but this doesn't strike me as a deck that's just for fun and IMO you're better off with direct removal, combo pieces or specific counters than 2 random-as cards.
As for Dragonkin, I do think Priest is the place to make use of him, but I don't think your deck is set-up to use both of them effectively. A nice option, but I don't see the second providing as much as an Azure Drake would, personally. Some Spare Parts capacity might help him out, even.
I found the deck was too slow.
Hi there!
Thanks for posting that deck!
Well, my luck (or skills?) in HS so low, that I decide to make some vids with top-rated decks from here. Let's go, 1st video. Current position in Rating - 15
I made an account just to comment on this deck,
Playing from ranks 17-11, I'm winning about 65% of matches and I like the creativity a lot. It's a very fun deck.
I made a few changes due to me being a F2P player and wanted to know your opinion on them.
I replaced Big Game Hunter with Shadow Word: Death out of preference. A lot of decks in the current meta attempt to have all it's creatures below 7 attack just for the purposes of countering BGH.
I replaced Sylvanas with Emperor Thaurissan. Not only do they have the same stats at 6 mana, but I find that between Chromaggus, Northshire Cleric, and Thoughtsteal that my hand fills up rather quickly and having Thaurissan allows me to put more threats on the board without danger of getting milled.
Finally, I took out Ysera for a Nefarian. I don't own Ysera, and I think because they're both 9 mana dragons that fill the hand with spells that it was probably the next best thing.
I'm having a lot of fun with this deck, thanks again!
I completely agree, and I probably will craft Ysera since I'm working on a Dragon Pally deck atm as well but Sylvanas > Ysera so it'll just take some time.
Thanks for the feedback!
any thoughts on adding a Resurrect into the deck?
Dragon Priest decks needs a lot of buff spells to work at all, and it will then lack removal combos, to make any decent headway.
Only 2 spells are cheap enough to be cast on Dragonkin Sorcerer before it dies, which is the weak point of this deck. So either add more low cost spells that buff or drop the Sorcerers.
The deck is still too slow, your 3/5 is dead, before you can buff it next turn, because the opponent will have minions on the board to clear it with, because you will behind from start.
Its not a matter of whether i like the card or not, the card is awesome, however your deck isnt working out in my tests of it. If its working out for you, great. But there is nothing in this deck that counters AoE clearing opponents. Spells nuke this deck to pieces.
Holy nova as the only board remover, just isnt strong enough.
Lightbomb doesnt work well with this deck, because your own minions have high attack aswell.
It doesnt really matter whether i like the deck or not, its a simple fact, that the deck is inconsistent, as many others in this thread have pointed out aswell.
Inconsistent!
Does it make any sense to put Rend Blackhand in this deck? Instead of Big Game Hunter maybe, or another card.. suggestions?
This deck is too weak against the aggro meta. it is fun, but just too slow for face hunter
This deck is terrible against the current meta.
100% thrash.
