WARNING BEFORE YOU READ THIS DECK!!! This deck wont get you to legend in 2 days (at least for now). This is a deck which is very good and competitive but it has a lot of room to be still perfected. We as a community are exploring an unknown archetype of priest on this page and every single opinion on this deck matters! What I got so far is an unusual priest list which works unusually well on ladder. With the help of the community we are improving this in order to achieve perfection. If you are here for some ez pz ladder climb then its a wrong page for you (at least for now once again). This a brainstorm of the Hearthstone community in order to create something new, something that can make priest great again. So please don't bitch in a comment section that this is incomplete or that it isn't 100% good because in reality it really is no perfect right now BUT with your help and contribution we will make it perfect.
Now please enjoy your read, guide is coming soon
Well here we go guys. After Ben said that there is a type of priest deck that is not explored yet I, as a massive fan of priests, decided to find it! After a whole day of figuring out I finally found it (i think). So what is OP nowerdays ? Tempo and aggro. Regular tempo priest is quite well known as dragon dragon priest and aggro element of priest is present with mind blasts and damage versions of flash heals. So i decided to combine these 2 together and create this masterpiece. I did not expect much from it but i played a few games and i won 37 and lost 9 for now! Most of games that i lost were entirely because of my missplays so i am sure this deck has a lot of potential. You fight of the aggro decks with your tempo dragons and you push damage on control decks with your tempo dragons! You finish them off with an easy combo and you have many of them! Win conditions are countless and no1 ever expects insane one turn bursts you can make (e.g. Velen + embrace + mind vlast + mind blast + flash heal = 30 dmg but its not the only combo! there are many more of them!) Video of me playing this deck will be up soon! Please give it a try! Its new, its fun and its potentially new meta!
Sorry of my bad english but it isn't my first language!
Nox is currently playing similar type of deck : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiavnpqnVr8
Criticism is always welcomed and I really appreciate it! This has a lot of potential and you can help us perfect this deck and create new priest archetype.
I am working on more videos and a new one will come out soon (as soon as i reach a good wifi spot, I'm on a holiday right now)
Upvotes are highly appreciated ! I will write a guide on it if i see that you guys enjoy it!
P.S. please alwas keep flash heals and mind blasts for a combo with auchnai/embrace the shadow + 1 flash heals or Velen + mindblasts

quick update! Guide is almost done, I've been experemnting a lot with shadowform and it is working great so far as well as injured + circle (which are not working that well so far tbh) so expect addition of shadowform soon.
Yo !
Really, your deck was interesting me caus you said it was a new archetype... but i dont think this is The new archetype... It's an OTK Tempo ? Its really difficult to do well with tempo (when i played, i could'nt use all the mana on my turns, really not). There is only one card with potential draw and four others that are just cycling the deck.. I don't think it's suffisant for an OTK deck (and with the missing draw you play cards like twilight drake ..?) i don't know what you're searching with finley aswell.
If you want to create an OTK deck, caus' here it is your win condition, you MUST have more card draw or your opponent will draw his win condition first. And its really important to have more options in your hand for a tempo deck.
So, i think you have to choose between OTK and Tempo (But maybe im wrong) ; and for both you MUST :
-add more card draw (not just cycling cards). The acolyte, to be good it has to get 2 cards not just 1 and for this you can add pyromencer and clerc wich are good draw combos for priest and good aswell against zoo and their 1 or 2 health army.
- add removels ; you can't pressure the enemy if you always trade your minions... and after come the late game to do your OTK combo, but if you cant defeat late game minions, you can be sure, you won't have the time to do your combo.
Thank you for trying to make interesting decks, (this meta is poor in my sense) good luck to make it perfect ^^
with standard mode we lost Malylock (warlock OTK dragon) and it was a really interesting deck (if you look at it, it can possibly give you some inspiration (dont forget card draws, malylock was really good caus it has card draw for 2 mana each turn so we use to have more place in the deck to add cards with hard pressure, not the priest)
Just to say it, Blizzard doesn't like OTK decks, that's why they have nerf the arcanic golem (and destroyed malylock), so when he was talking about an archetype non explored yet, I dont think he was talking about an OTK deck (which is an old priest archetype)
mmmh just saying... in your video, you play cards which are not in the decklist... i dont understand..
Dude, no.
Velen was too slow before this deck, and he is still way too slow.
Did you guys ever stop and think that maybe he was full of it and that there is no "hidden" Priest deck? Some classes just are weak at certain times, and Priest is the worst in the game right now. Zero professional Hearthstone players are bringing Priest to tournaments for a reason. There isn't an unknown archetype, we can see all of the cards and they suck.
It's literally the start of the third sentence. Did you bother reading the guide or just come to comments to argue with people?
When a deck is considered very good and competitive, it better be actually competitive. This deck is not. It beats a few matchups when you catch them off guard.
Is dragon priest decent? Sure, but if you don't get perfect early draws by turn 5, you are basically in the dumpster. Other classes can at least hang around. And your only tempo swings are prophet Velen if you drop Thaur while it's in hand to combo with embrace, flash heal, and mind blast on turn 8.
So you need
Turn 6 emp (With Velen, embrace, flash heal, mind blast in hand)
Turn 7 chill
Turn 8 Velen combo
If they dropped any minions on turn 7 after killing chill, your Velen is instantly dead, especially if they have removal, which most classes have now.
Velen is the biggest joke of this deck. It has like 1-2 cards that it is good with at like turn 9. 8 if you drop emp on turn 6/7 and have those 3 other cards in hand.
One did, Heisnotaxel brought a priest deck. His deck is so far the best one that can work.
I didn't know about that, thanks. But still, not a "hidden" archetype just N'Zoth Priest.
Have you tried this deck with Alexstrasza?
If so what were your results?
Faerie Dragon is not a tempo card. A 3/2 doesn't mean anything these days,it can't be targeted, that's right, but it dies to 1-drops and 1/1 token minions. A Shadow Word: Pain would make a much better job here
In the current meta, a 3/2 that can't be frostbolted after a turn 1 mana wyrm or that can challenge tunnel without being lighning bolted trogg is very impactful.
If you want to make tempo priest , you should cut the combo with velen,because you lose tempo when you're trying to gather all pieces or just some of them
took out one abusive, put in ysera. she's just too good
Great deck! I've tried my own take on Velen combo deck, focused on this combo more. I'll be glad if you check it.
omfg, r u serious SUPER NEW TEMPO PRIEST exept it's just another dragon scum
Ey why am I not surprised Mr Mlg420noscope is another annoying kid who can't read description
He's right IMO, dragons and velen combo don't make a new meta deck
I would rather focus on draw than dragons if you want to play velen
Sorry but this deck just seems to me like a control dragon combo priest with 3 draws
Maly for sure, it's a great card for this deck as well
What about Corrupted Healbot?
Might help during early game and work well with Soulpriest.
