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.

EDIT: Unfortunately i don't have any gameplay with this deck to share. But "kiwiinbacon" is an youtuber that liked this deck and made a video playing with it. So i'm sharing it for who wanna see some gameplay.

replace Velen and Alex
but i guess it will be to slow
replacement for netherspite and book wyrm?
book wyrm you can replace with another pain
but netherspite is really good and hard to replace
This is a beast of deck. Nicely done.
What is the best replacement for Alextraza?
another wheelp.. another book wyrm... another nova... dragonfire potion... something useful
don't need to be an expensive dragon
Why mindblast?
Velen + Smite + MindBlast = 14 dmg combo
so you have burst for some matchs like renolocks
Legend capable as it sits. Solid deck.
This is a diverse deck and pulls his weight in meta... I find it to be solid :-)
If you dont have Velen, you basically cut down the intention of this combo deck. It is not replacable when you wanna play Mindblast + Smite. You should look for a Standard Dragon Priest Deck Imo, as you can save some of the more or less useless cards then. But Crafting a 2nd Operative is a Must. Same goes for Twilight Guardian and Wyrmrest agent to have a chance at the Aggro matchups.
Hey Rase, thanks for the deck! It got me from 5 to 1 loving it so far.
Great! Keep going.. the legend is close!
Climbed from 15 (didn't put effort in ladder before) to 5 with it. It's no autopilot kind of deck and you have a lot of value decisions to do, especially in the mirror match and vs Renolock, where the 14 Dmg Burst helps a lot.
I really like how the deck can adjust itself to different styles dependent on the match up with the discover cards. It can be really aggressive and tempo driven like you have to do it against Jade Druid, slow and value oritentated against Reno (finishing with the combo) or really defensive vs Aggro.
My winrate is 65% so far. I think this deck is a bit similliar to the old Patron Warrior and Miracle Rouge regarding the winrate. Almost everyone can achieve an ok winrate with it, but to really squeeze out the full potential you need a deep understanding of it and the different match ups.
So thanks for the great deck, I have a lot of fun with it. -Sincerely your latest Twitch Follower
I chose this deck as the 3rd deck of Xmas. It is a very fun deck which happens to combine both my favorite cards(dragons) and one of my favorite classes! Drakonid operative is extremely strong and can decide games on its own.
I made a video showcasing the deck which I hope you enjoy and in the meantime, Happy holidays!!!
yeap.. against rogue is really good
when i played this deck.. there wanst so many rogues on ladder.. and now... with people getting #1 with it... there is a lot
so is a good choice use dragonfire to have more chances against them
Zetalot was playing kinda exact list , I dunno who made this deck , he or you ??
if he was playing "exactly the same list"... it was probably my list =P
but when someone told me he was playing dragons with combo too.. i opened his stream... and he had doomsayers and others different stuffs
ah okay
.., im gonna try ur list ,hope it helps me get outta dumpster ;)
just build deck againts pirate warrior,maybe you loose againts others classe but they are so many ,so does not mather
