Enjoy!
Control decks are weaker against combo decks that's how it it
I actually managed to win vs anyfin pally once. He plays Acolyte of Pain with 7 cards in hand. I do a wombo combo with Wild Pyromancer and make him burn 2 cards. 2 warleaders. then I entomb legendary and he conceeds. Guess he didnt want a 6 damage anyfin!
This deck absolutely EATS secret Paladins. Absolutely loving it. I ended up dropping 1 cabal for a another Entomb, Really helps out going late or removing larger minions while avoiding the the D-rattle.
Me 2
I made 2 changes
Cabal to Entomb and Harrison to Thoughsteal
Cool deck! Any replacement for Holy Nova??
Whata hell? You don`t have basic card, do you?

Can someone please write a guide for this deck instead of just posting a bunch of videos?
Well this isn't the exact deck but here's a guide for another variant of control priest: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/46ct7e/elise_control_priest_to_legend_from_rank_8_11475/
I have used similar decks and they certainly don't work in NA. They just never seem to deal enough late game damage, plus they lose to rush decks earlygame too.
If you're losing to early rush decks like zoo or face hunter it suggests you might not be mulliganing properly. The late game comes from your opponent's cards that you take with entomb, cabal and what you get with Elise.
Ultimately with control priest you don't want to try and kill your opponent but you want to effectively remove their threats and make them powerless. If you happen to beat down their health in the process then all the better but it's not your win condition.
If played properly this deck should annihilate aggro decks with ease. Now naturally if you draw horribly you can still lose but overall you should be fine.
Well with earlygame I lose on turn 4, turn 5 constantly. Late game you have to deal with threats like jaxxarus. I could not get past rank 15 with this. I switched over to a dragon priest deck and am now at rank 5. I have mained priest since the beta and my other characters have less than 10 wins on them. I am nearing golden priest. Trust me I used to use similar decks to this the last season. The only real difference I see with this deck compared to the one I tried is flash heal instead of Light of naruu.
I've stomped this deck with rush decks every time I've faced it since this post, just beat it with a season 20 mage flamewaker deck 0/24. He got both of his deathlords out, the first was a 4/10 on turn 3. The deck had a couple of surprises that caught people off guard before the deck list was posted at the top of the vote list. I have yet to see it win while playing as or against it. It slows rush down, but can't beat it without an excellent draw.
You need to also consider the rank you're playing at. Folks will see Kolento's Name on this and a high win rate and just make it without a clue about how to play it.
I'm sorry you feel it's not a strong deck but as a control priest player I see alot of potential in this deck. It's not flavored to my personal taste but I can see how it could be very successful.
Thanks for the share had much fun and some good games with this deck! Destroyed some Secret Paladins on my way, while losing to miracle rogue.

if you can counter this deck on Ladder, you are going to climb. Half of my last 50 matchup(rank 3-5) my opponent used this exact decklist. I was originally climbing with Zoo Control Paladin and Patron Warrior, and this completely rekt me at rank 3. Best chance I have was making the Priests Entomb Bolvar or get a really lucky hand as Warrior and rush the priest down. Though I recommend sticking to Ramp Druid or Secret paladin for the purpose of this deck, most other decks just get destroyed. Don't try to be a creative or be a hippie, this deck will destroy you.
