Hello guys..
I'm Rase... a Brazilian pro player
Free agent at the moment and looking for a new team =)
I always go for #1 and this season already got it with Jade Aggro Shaman
But now.. i was trying to make a new Priest
Dragon Priest is really good at the moment.. but the Ladder is infested with Renolocks and now some Rogues too (2 bad matchups)
So to improve this matchs and still good against others... I cut a few cards to use the combo: Velen + Smite + MindBlast (14 dmg)
Because with Dragon Priest, a lot of times you can pressure but don't have how to finish... So if you lost the board you probably lose the game.
So I did 87.5% W.R with this deck (14/2) and got #8 Legend -Proof of it - (probably going for #1 later)
Somethings about the deck choices and possible changes:
Smite and Mind Blast: One of each is just enough... don't need to use 2.
Twilight Wheelp: Good card but i have to cut somethings to use the combo. And you always want this on turn 1 but many times on the mid/late game you hold this to have a Dragon activator. So playing Alexstrasa, many times you already have one Dragon stucked on your hand.
Shadow Word Pain: Great card and have a lot of targets on this meta. If you don't wanna play the 1 mana potion or the Book Wyrm... Should play 2 pains.
Northshire Cleric: Must have 2... contest board against pirates and draw against others.
Potion of Madness: I really like this card, but you can change for the second Twilight Wheelp or the second Shadow Word Pain.
Brann Bronzebeard: Very good card with synergy in most of your deck.
Holy Nova: Really good against aggros and possible draws with Clerics too.
Book Wyrm: Some people are not using it at Dragon Priest... but i really like one.. because there is a lot of targets for it now. But maybe 2 is too much.
Prophet Velen: If you don't have it.. just play the Standard Dragon without the combo pieces :P
Alexstraza: It's a Dragon... Good after Reno and can heal you against aggros (won me some games doing this)
Dragonfire Potion: Like everyone, I started this expasion playing 2 of this on my Dragon's List... but now i realize that isn't so good... And Holy Nova is doing better for me.
Update: Now... there is a lot of rogues on ladder too... so DragonFire Potion can be a good choice. So you can replace potion of madness to play one of this.
The other cards i guess it's core.. and good to use 2 of each.
So you have any question... I'll try to answer as many as I can.

Reno locks are tough but you should not be losing to aggro this deck just destroys the aggro decks
Twilight Guardian is core on any dragon priest deck... so craft it =)
If you don't have Velen.. you don't need to play Smite and MindBlast... just play something like Ooze.. Argus..
And then... you can replace Alex with second Whelp or Dragonfire Potion
The guardian is pretty needed but i literally dont need valen ever im taking him out just because and i have not really needed the alex but shes so good against reno decks right now so she is pretty needed you might have a spike in loss rate with her out. but honestly the deck controls the board so the 2 that arent really needed are not really board control cards just replace them with high health mid cost cards or anything that insures board control
I know this sounds like shitty advice, but without Velen or Alextranza, you should really just try to play a different deck. Perhaps regular Dragon Priest, it is likely stronger than this deck anyway.
play reno lock that heavy tech aggro keep punish by greedy reno deck list or bad draw vs aggro deck
swap to dragon priest really op in this meta, i use thijs list.
11-1 with dragon priest,
work well again greedy deck. can end the games before 10 and a a lot value from discover dragon and dr 5 steal confirm get value.
and vs aggro deck, taunt OP
too strong! Thanks
Played this deck and very much fun with a little change
Look what I got from "discover a dragon" and it's very delighted :)

alex can be useful to heal against aggros or burst against controls.. but you can replace with dragonfire potion
in the 20ish games iv played alex was not really needed because you already control board even if they reno it puts them behind and u just start bashing on them again. you also can get alex pretty easily from your dragon draw cards i seem to get deathwing or alex 1 time every few games.
Had very little success dealing with aggro shaman with this deck, any tips?
Have you climbed up to legendary with this deck yet? I've played this deck for two days, about 60 games. From lvl 10 to lvl 5 is pretty easy. But now I seem to be stuck at lvl 5. Not sure if it's because I didn't play to the full potential or it's just the limit of the deck.
just mulligan for early game and control the board
maybe you can add dragonfirepotion to help against shamans too... can cut alexstraza (better against renos and controls) or potion of madness (but this one is good against aggros too)
im not a pro or anything but i typically save your power word cards for high value like the 4 mana 7/7 and you eventually win the game on control
Love this deck but could not imagine playing it without 1x Dragonfire pot. Find something to drop for it IMO. Going to use this deck for the final push to legend.
dragonfire is good again.. with rogues on meta... you can cut the potion of madness or alex
No Dragonfire potion?
you can cut potion of madness to play one... but is not core
Thanks men for this great deck ! I climbed Legend today with this wonderful list. I did no change to your original list and it works very well !!!
Second month since I started playing HS and this is my second time legend. Thanks to you this time :) !!!
gratz man!
Hello ! How do you deal with Jade Druids ? I've been facing quite some of them at rank 3 and the match up seems quite awefull.
