Hey guys and welcome to this deck guide! I personally love playing Priest since I started due to his position as an "underdog". Since the release of The Grand Tournament this changed drastically with the introduction of Dragon Priest! Don't understand me wrong I really like Dragon Priest, I laddered with it a lot and even wrote a guide about it, but I am really sad that the normal control priest I played before disappeared almost completely! 

So today I am going to present you a deck by Zetalot (know Priest Player) which he used to ladder in legend and also achieved #1 Legend in his stream with this deck!

 Zetalot Twitch

This deck is a standard control priest like it was used before TGT, spiced up with some additions from TGT, which makes this deck extremely fun to play and ladder with!

WARNING

This deck is not a easy pickup deck! You really need time to get used to play it correctly, but if you do it is really fun and rewarding to play! I would recommend watching Zetalots stream because he does a great job explaining every turn! And of course practise, practise, practise... and dont give up after losing your first few games!

Have Fun!

This deck tries to handle the early aggressions of Face Hunter or Secret Paladin with cards like Northshire Cleric, Zombie Chow and Wild Pyromancer!

Then you have Injured Blademaster combined with Circle of Healing (or Light of the Naruu/Flash Heal) to gain tempo in control matchups. In those matchups you can also use Thoughtsteal as a card draw! A Holy Championon turn 4 you can start pressuring the enemy and forcing out removals!

For the board clear you have the Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing combo, Holy Nova and a Lightbomb! You can also use Wild Pyromancer with one of your many cheap spells to wipe smaller boards!

Auchenai Soulpriest is really important in this deck, because it gives you so much burst if combined with your hero power, Light of the Naruu and even Zombie Chow.

In the late game you have two Cabal Shadow Priest (combo well with your Shrinkmeister to steal Yseras :D) , Justicar Trueheart to gain more survivability in the late game and also game extra burst with Auchenai Soulpriest. Sylvanas Windrunner is used to steal enemy minions (is a Mindcontrol with Shadow Word: Death) and in the absolute late game you have Confessor Paletress and Ysera!

To remove threatening enemy minions you have Voi'jin and one Shadow Word: Death.

Aggainst Face Hunter, but exspecially aggainst Paladin, Northshire Cleric does give you a huge advantage, because you can draw alot while Paladin can't deal with it until turn 3-4. In other matchups keep Northshire Cleric, but only play it along with Power Word: Shield.  

Zombie Chow is your second and maybe the best answer to all types of aggressive decks! You should always keep it!

Next on the list is Wild Pyromancer which can clear aggressive boards easily if you have some cheap spells in your hand.

If you are aggainst Zoo or Mech Mage, Auchenai Soulpriest combined with Circle of Healing can be kept in your hand too, exspecially if you have the coin.

Aggainst Paladin keep Northshire Cleric because you can draw alot while Paladin can't deal with it until turn 3-4. In other matchups keep Northshire Cleric, but only play it along with Power Word: Shield. 

You also want to keep Injured Blademaster with Circle of Healing to put so much pressure on your opponent!

You can also keep Holy Champion!

Holy Champion: This card is really effective in this deck, but you can easily replace Thoughtsteal if you are facing too much control decks! 

Vol'jin: This card is really important in this deck but you could use Shadow Word: Death instead

Confessor Paletress/Ysera:

Zetalot did swap those two cards very often! Confessor Paletress is really interesting and underrated! I know many people think it is too inconsistent (also Zetalot replaces it sometimes) but I really love this card: You are putting a 5/4 on the board and the enemy HAS to deal with it (or he probably loses) AND a big legendary the enemy also HAS to deal with! So your opponnent often has only a way to deal with one and not with both this card is so great and can easily win you the game! Ysera has a much slower way to win you the game, but is most of the time more consistent, but she can also screw you up really hard by giving you a Laughing Sister vs an aggro deck!

Overall Confessor Paletress is better in aggressive matchups because you heal yourself and you put more pressure immediately on your opponnent while Ysera is better in control matchups! If you dont have any of those you may try any other late game legendarys! Maybe Chromaggus?

The mighty 3 mana slot! Zetalot uses this often as the teck slot! You can use Deathloard to stop aggressive decks, Acolyte of Pain for a more consistent card draw or Thoughtsteal if you are up aggainst many control decks!

Dr. Boom: This card is op! The only reason not to use it is because this deck dodges Big Game Hunter completely so if you want to include it you should probably use some more Big Game Hunter targets.

Harrison Jones/Acidic Swamp Ooze: I think Acidic Swamp Ooze is better in this deck because it simply adds a minion to you early game, so you can add one if you face too many weapon classes!

Justicar Trueheart: This is a great card to survive the late game or burst with Auchenai Soulpriest! It can be replaced with a Flash Heal for the same reasons!
