So im updated my dragonpries with which i goth legend in season 21 for Old Gods card.
Im testing it only 2 days and have only 60% winrate with 30 games.
They didn't add a lot of good cards for dragon priest and i think he`s really rip for legend MM. But 60% winrate is still good.
Here we go.
The first of big daron we have a Deathwing, Dragonlord. For me its to slow card. ITs really good deathrattle for dragondecks but when its used we still lose or already win.
BTW im not put it in my deck cus have a Museum Curatorwho can give Deathwing, Dragonlord to us
Darkshire Alchemist: im just used it for heal( the best priest heal only for c`thun) cus sometime i really need that vs aggro.
Midnight Drake: I really like this new dragon. Good 4 drop, always 5+ atack. But its only 4 hp so i preffer use it with Power Word: Shield.
Faerie Dragon just a 2 drop dragon.
Excavated Evil is standart Lightbomb version ( the best replace i think)
Shadow Word: Pain cus a lot of new 1-3 atack cards.
And now new cards which i think which I think are the perfect complement dragon priest.
1) N'Zoth, the Corruptor. You think we have only 1 deathrattle(Chilmaw)?No
Cus we have a Museum Curator which have a lot of good deathrattle (The new cards to). And Second Chilmaw is still good. ( 5-7 N`zoth -3 chillmaw aoe still 5-4 n`zoth)
2) Shadow Word: Horror I love this card cus its help me win a lot of mage (2-4 Flamewaker) and zoo decks. The same vs BabblePally.
So here the OldGods dragon priest as i can see. If you have a new good idias comment below, if you like it => upvotes, if you have questions or need more guide comment it below. Thx for viewing this deck.
Old guide or card expansions you can see in spoiler below.
Good luck have fun and get Legend!

OldVersion Card explanations
1. Power Word: Shield+2 hp for better exchange, draw,

MIX IT
Zombie Chow,Twilight Whelp,Wyrmrest Agent2xZombie Chow/Twilight Whelp, Museum Curator/Wyrmrest Agent1xNorthshire Cleric, 1xZombie Chow, Power Word: Shield.
Also try to get a dragon synergy at start like Twilight Whelp,Twilight Whelp,Twilight Guardian (skip only Ysera or Chillmaw)
with coin the same and + 1xVelen's Chosen, always 1xTwilight Guardian.Strategy: Control early board, taunt ur face, and heal urself when health drops to 15.Never atack with ur taunt when hunter have a secret cus its probably Freezetrap.
SecretPally:
Same as hunter
w/o coin:
Zombie Chow,Twilight Whelp,Wyrmrest Agent2xZombie Chow/Twilight Whelp, Museum Curator/Wyrmrest Agent1xNorthshire Cleric, 1xZombie Chow, Power Word: Shield.
Dragon synergy like Twilight Whelp,Twilight Whelp,Twilight Guardian (skip only Ysera or Chillmaw)
with coin the same and + 1xVelen's Chosen, always 1xTwilight Guardian + Mass Dispel.Srategy: Same as hunter as all aggro. early control before NoneofURbusiness. Try to save ur Lightbomb before opp use Dr.Seven.Beware of secrets. Sometimes better do not atack him when its SeecretCeeper + Other minion + Secret or Minion+ 2 secters cus you know what is this.Its fine to use Mass Dispel. for opp boosted minions.
MidrangePally:
w/o coin 1/2 turn minions and Northshire Cleric. Power Word: Shield is good.with coin 1/2 turn minions + Power Word: Shield + Twilight Guardian + 1x Blackwing CorruptorStrategy; use ur tempo, use Blackwing Corruptor on Piloted Shredder. Beware of Equality.Silence or SWD Tyrion and win.
Warrior:
Strategy vs patron same as midrange pally, Azure Drake+ HolyNova and Lightbomb help u with patrons.ControllWarrior is hardest mutchup. Just try to rush him because you anyway lose in late. Beware of Brawl.
Mage:
Mechmage or tempomage same as hunter.Freezemage - concede. You have no chance. Maby 10% to win. Only lucky. Try 2 face them. Use MassDispel on Doomsayer Cabal on MadScientist. Sometimes its fine 2 use Cabal on Doomsayer, but these are very specific moments
Druid:
Favorited mutchupsAlways muligan ShadowWordDeath cus they probably have Fel Reaver or early Dr.Seven or somethink like that.
w/o coin
Zombie Chow,Twilight Whelp,Wyrmrest Agent2xZombie Chow/Twilight Whelp, Museum Curator/Wyrmrest Agent1xNorthshire Cleric, 1xZombie Chow, Power Word: Shield.
with coin always 1xVelen's Chosen, always 1xTwilight Guardian.
Rogue:
Same as midrange pally. Keep Mass Dispel. for Malygos or Gadgetzan Auctioneer if you cant kill him.Safe ur hp 20+ Vs OIL rogue use ur taunt fasted as you can do. Make him to use Sup before OilCombo
All reno decks:
Rush your opp (exception Warriors and priests) to six turn. If he used Reno then play like control. If he cant use Reno just FINISH HIM.
Aggro Shammy:
So Shaman(SMORC) one of the best muchups for us. I really have no problem with them because they spend of their Tunnel Trogg or magic in my tauns. In the end of the game they have only 1 Lava Burst and 1 Crackle. Swap 1 MC for Ooze and destroy Doomhammer.w/o coin: Standart with 1 nuance. Always take Wyrmrest Agent.2-4 with taunt cant die 1 by 1 vs 3-4 totem. In my experience he always use Crackle or Lightning Bolt so in the next turn he have overload and its good for us.with coin Always try to get 2x Wyrmrest Agent 1xTwilight Whelp and 1x.Twilight Guardian. He lose a lot of face damage like Lava Burst, Crackle on ur tauns and its free wave to win.Mass Dispel is the situational card in this machup. I used it only when opp have Tunnel Trogg and Ferral Spirits on board.For now i have 12-4 winrate vs AggroFaceShammy.
Aaaaaaanyfin can happends:
Shitty cancer deck. I never win with it because this deck just cant evade turn 10 and turn 11 murloc rush.
Could you please update this deck?
im testing it in standart,
great deck , helped me broke the barrier to rank 5 finally, didn't have chill maw so replaced with Excavated Evil, still works great.
Agreed!
Brann is a must in this deck with that many low/mid cost battlecry minions.
Funny that you say smorc shaman is the easiest matchup when it counters this deck. Mech shamans can crush this deck before you have a chance to use fancy dragon combos
This deck is S. L. O. W. if you don't get a lucky draw. I laughed when I look at the cards you expect me to mulligan. 4 out of 5 times I mulligan more than one 4-6 gem card. Sometimes I only have 4+ gem cards and I'm already halfway dead by the time I can play a card. about 20% of my games end with me never drawing taunts before i get killed. I had a game where I had no dragons for the first 10 cards. Smorc shaman punishes this easy because its 100% luck (draw) dependant. I either win easy or lose hard.
This deck seems to be great for beating combo decks though, like Anyfin can happen. The opponent takes their time trying to build their combo, and you can save up your taunts then start sprinkling them onto the board to force them to clear. They wont have a chance to combo before they are dead.
Edit: January 6th: just got destroyed by a zoolock in 7 turns. Didn't draw AOE/taunt/removal the entire game. My minions couldnt keep up with his numbers, I buffed a minion and it got silenced. Got Ysera in my opening hand and had two azure drakes and a mass dispel when I died. Around a 45% winrate with this deck.
Edit: Feb 10th: 40% winrate with 30 games. Deleting this deck, plenty of better decks out there.
Smorc shaman isn't mech shaman.
And reading comprehension isn't your forte
Can anyone tell me how they find success against control priest? If anyone has suggestions I can come back tomorrow and explain why I feel I lose most games to them. Seems like when I play slow they can outlast me and when I play aggressively they have too many answers. I probably just suck lol.
Deck is really fun btw. So happy to find a viable dragon priest deck.
Try this one instead, it works very well against any class atm: Balanced Dragon Priest
Why no Ysera?? Other than that, I really like it.
in control match ups ysera does wonders but most of the times its a dead card in your hand. yeah i was uneasy about not using ysera in a dragon deck but dr 7 is not bad in its place and is always useful in just about any situation.
yep, I tried it again too and it's worse than ever. I'm deleting it after consistently staying at 40% WR. every other priest deck I've ever tried from a legend player has outperformed this. Sad because it gets beaten by shaman aggro even today. They just silence/frog/nuke your value minions and widdle your HP down.
I'm using this exact deck with no Chillmaw and instead of the two Zombie Chow's I've got two Dark Cultist's and it really struggles to get past level 14 or 15 in ranked. I can't believe those cards make that much difference.
I'm still saving for a Chillmaw and I absolutely hate giving my opponent an extra 5 health from Zombies, but maybe it''s worth it...I guess.
This deck is not aggro or tempo. We dont care about 5-10 hp fo opp. Atleast zombie is our early game. Mostly he healed 5 hp.
I'm using this deck and surprisingly it can win me games, at time I would be stuck early games cause my mulligan sucked. i wouldn't have a minion til turn 4 or 5. I would play this from rank 4 to 7 so I find it more consistent than the versions of Bran and entomb
you make it look so easy. I have a golden priest and i suck at priest so much still cant win anything
I liked the deck. However I have had great difficulty in achieving synergies with the Dragons . The deck has few dragons compared to other decks. (or I've been having no luck)
I keep trying
tsk for share =)
Thx for the deck. A nice twist on dragon priest. I think curators are a great add because dragon priest can run out of threats. I stopped playing dragon priest because I found the Reno match ups too tough but curators help. As others, I think entomb is a must. More than a tech choice, I think a staple switch is one entomb for one cabal. 2 cabals is too situational.
I too am a fan of mass dispel. It is slow but your opponent never expects it. I've used it several times just on a Sylvanas and found it game changing. And the card cycle is an upside.
You skipped shaman :) I've not found any priest deck that can reliably beat face shaman.
Oh, you also forgot Anyfin paladin, another not great matchup :(
Shaman(SMORC) one of the best muchups. I have no problem with them because they spend of their trogs or magic in my tauns. In the end of the game they have only 1 Lava burst and 1 Crackle. Swap 1 MC for Ooze and destroy doomhammer.
Murlodin = Anyfin paladin. Neverwin =\
I don't have the Chillmaw,Please tell me which card can relace it?what about Nefarian? I don't really like the Chillmaw,it hurts both,and only useful when you against Patron warrior.
