[21.03.2016]: Swapped Nefarian with (Golden)  Alexstrasza. Sometimes against control or midrange decks you had no real chance to hit enemy face even for these 10 damage, or it was healed. Against some aggro-zoodecks there were a lot of times when i had like 1-3 hp, had no Justicar Trueheart but Nefarian. I regretted that i had no Alex. So The Lifebinder gives you a very powerful tool in manipulating with health. Also it will counter Reno Jackson, which should rise due to healing and taunt issues in Standart Format.

Swapped Sen'jin Shieldmasta with Twilight Drake. Additional Dragon Activator, also that deck tend to have a lot of cards in hand due to Chromaggus, Northshire Cleric. Good card in the deck.

25.04.2016: Great addition.

Sen'Jin Shielmasta was changed with Twilight Guardian. That card outperformes the basic one in most aspects.

Twilight Whelp changed into Chillmaw. In late game whelp felt odd, and one more mass-removal is preferable against zoo and aggro dekcs.

Shadow Word: Death got melted into Ysera. Cause why not, i do have her.

31.07.2016: A lot of changes. Will be edited later.

 

Greetings. Since i've heard that Standart format is coming this spring, I decided to create a deck that would be viable that time, to be prepared. I have 3 Priest decks, and that one has shown itself the most efficient and winrateable. Firslty, let's clarify some cards.

Flash Heal: Against aggro keeps you alive(May be even used with Prophet Velen if things are going bad). Against control - does great job with Auchenai Soulpriest with damaging minions or pushing for lethal.

Twilight Welp, Blackwing Technician, Blackwing Corruptor - regular Dragondeck stuff.

Azure Drake: Dragon Synergy activator, also helps you to find the combo we'll be talking about later.

Drakonid Crusher: That card goes better than i expected, sometimes you get yor enemy down to <15 hp by turn 6-8 and that guy just crushes the match. Also a dragon.

Nefarian, Chromaggus: Lategame dragons. Help you when you are running out of cards, sometimes duplicates/gives some really worthy candies(Like 3rd Mind Blast from enemy priest or your own duplicated).  Note: I do not use Ysera here because that deck needs high impact on lategame, and The Dream Quieen is too slow for it. Our goul is take our enemy down to 10-20 hp and use our secet weapon.

UPD: Alexstrasza; Read the changelog(21.03.2016)

Emperor Thaurissan, Prophet Velen, Mind Blast: The Combo. 10-20 damage strike outta nowhere. I call him Prophet Ceena. Or John Velen. You'd better not to use any of these cards before actually finding the entire combo of 2x blasts and Prophet. Note: You can drop Emperor if you have at least 1 card out of 3 to make the finishing move possible. He also discounts lategame dragons to make some manipulations possible(Like Chromaggus + Northshire Cleric + Hero Power)

That deck has no Shadow Word: Pain because i didnt find the replacement in the deck. All small stuff gets wiped with mass removal or early game cards. Maybe i will find what to replace one day.

So, to sum up, I would like to say that this deck is kinda fine to play even in Wild Format(right now). In Standart Fromat it should shine. I beated some usual Dragonpriests with it mostly because of the Combo. Velen is cool, guys, dont underrate him.

Substitutional cards:

Twilight Drake: Twilight Guardian(pro: taunt+dragon. Con: weak by himself.)

Prophet Velen: Malygos(Con:will make you drop Emperor to discount all the 3 cards for combo, not only 1, cuts out +4-8 hp heropower. Pro: Dragon, a lot of health.)

Justicar Trueheart: Sylvannas Windrunner(pro: steals enemy stuff. Con: limits your healing potential a lot, very weak against swift of midrange decks)

Alexstrasza: Nefarian(Pro: Gives cool spells. Con: Limited health manipulation) or Ysera(Pro: sometimes gives cool cards. Con:Slower damage potential)
