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.
Ayt so comment section is a clusterfuck right now tbh so please comment all you suggestions on how to improve it without any babyrage etc down here. This deck has great potential and flaming me for weaknesses of this deck wont help much since as I explained in the introduction, this deck has flaws and they need to be fixed.
maybe you should put two acolytes (idk how, I don't understand how priest works in general), bc only two shields and drakes is not enough
dragon priest has terrible late game
Well you can explain everything by saying its not working because you don't play well ahahah. I play well, i played since alpha and hit legend 13 times by now. My main class has always been priest. All i can tell to you is the same thing i told everyone who brings negativity, this is not perfect yet but it is already great and it brings a lot of potential. Before criticising me please first show me that you are better or relatively as good as me, for now u are bringing some useless unconstructed criticism.
This is just a poorly built Dragon Priest, nothing to see here move along folks.
I don't understand why everybody took what he said this way. He wasn't implying that there was some secret, unexplored priest deck archetype. He was just stating that he doesn't think every priest archetype has been thoroughly tested in the current meta, and that there might be a successful priest deck out there somewhere. Ben Brode was not and is not keeping some amazing priest deck hidden from us.
Also, biggest click-bait title in the world. It's not new or insane or revolutionary or some previously undiscovered priest archetype. It's dragon priest with Prophet Velen and Mind Blast strangely added.
I dont get it... This isnt new or revolutionary its just dragon priest with an otk burst which really isnt consistent. Sure you had a good string but I can pretty much assure you that this is not what ben was hinting at. If you're going burst with embrace or soulpriest you should have Justicar as well.
not working, to slow, not enough draw, no removal for taunts unless you give up burst...
tempo priest with otk finisher in case you were outtempoed
0-5, not bad
then you are just not playing correctly
no, the deck just isn`t as good as you would like. Not everyone who is losing with it "is not playing it correctly". You have no board clearing potential at all and if you are losing hold off the board you will suffer hard. ;)
PS: downvoting my comments won`t make your deck good.
Keep in mind he is also using twilight drakes with little to no card draw and his board clear amounts to BWCs and Chillmaw with no other high cost dragons meaning Chillmaw will often only be a 6/6 Taunt.
Want to try this out but still need Velen. I think building around Shadowform hasn't been experimented with enough and with the amount of heal priest received in this expansion makes me believe it's more viable. With the addition of C'thun and his cohorts would make longevity pretty great in a shadowform deck.
shadowform is a good idea!! I remember shadow priests being very good! definitely will try it out now!
Pls use punctuation and remove the typos. 300 DMG made me laugh.
Also 7-2 can be just a good run. Without enough games played, lets say 4 games (3 win; 1 loss), any deck can have 75% winrate.
Your deck looks cool. I'll give it a try. Good days.
I went overall 37/9 with it by now. Woking on a new video and will be up soon
"Pls use punctuation and remove the typos."
I, personally, find this hilarious. Asking somebody to correct their grammar and using "pls" in the sentence.
At which ranks did you go 37/9 with it specifically?
7-2 IN RANK 13 THIS HAS TO BE NEW META!!! IM POSTING TO TMZ RIGHT NOW!!
