The new ONIK cards have revitalized Priest Decks with the entrance of priest of the feast and onyx bishop.  

Immediately after WOTOG dropped I was having a lot of fun with a buff priest based heavily onDjinni of Zephyrs, which I have always firmly believed has had the potential to be the backbone of a buff based Tier 1 deck.  The problem was that I felt I often was too far behind in the midgame to catch up.  Now that resurrect provides a low card usage highly effective early game, Buff Priest Decks no longer get helplessly destroyed before they can play out their very fun very effective mid and late game combinations.  

 

Power Word: Shield has the unique ability to be a spell cast on your own minion that allows you to draw a card, and the synergy that is achieved with Djinni of Zephyrs has had me hooked for a long time.  It also combos incredibly well withChromaggus

My experiment has yielded me with this decklist which has been highly effective for me so far.  

Using Resurrect [/card]and[card]onyx bishop in the early game allows you to save your buff cards until you can combo them withDjinni of Zephyrs in the late game.  

Buffing Priest of the Feast hard in the mid game can save you against more aggressive decks if it looks like you are falling too far behind.

Sen'jin Shieldmasta is a very effective taunt card that curves into a resurrection byOnyx Bishop to help against aggressive decks.

 

The buff cards that you acquire in the early game give you the ability to create devastating late game combinations off ofDjinni of Zephyrs andChromaggus, which are supplemented byYsera andJusticar Trueheart grants you the most powerful late game hero power in Hearthstone, which is VERY effective with the high health late game minions you create.  

I believe thatMukla, Tyrant of the Vale andFjola Lightbane are very effective cards in this deck, but think thatFaceless Manipulator andShadow Madness would make adequate replacements.

 

Tell me what you think :)
