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.

Cool.. keep going for legend and GL =)
Im too! ^^ From 11 to 4.
Nice! keep going and the legend is coming! =)
I like the deck, but found it didn't work well enough against the heavy Pirate Shaman/Warrior I was facing so I switched some things up.
-Potion of Madness
-Netherspite Historian x2
-Book Wyrm
+Shadow of Pain
+Acidic Swamp Ooze x2
+Dragonfire Potion
Still do well against Priest and Renolock and have a much better win rate against Pirate with my changes.
I have not won even once with this deck hahaha I suuuuuuuuck XD
i guess potion of madness... or maybe alexztraza
This deck has 50% winrate just from the current metta and how efficiently it's build. If you actually use your head when playing, you can easily get to 70+%. I've never played priest, but this deck is really enjoyable, mostly you either loose because you have extremely poor draws or you made a mistake somewhere, which makes playing this deck a lot of fun if you like to think the game through.
Also to add, this is probably the first deck where after ~50 plays I didn't feel the need to substitute something, it's good as it is.
Pretty good deck:

8D
with malygos you will need thaurissan too.. so can combo with mind blast and smite
but probably too slow
Can Deathwing replace alex?
you can try it.. but probably too slow
maybe another 2/3... another 3/6.. another nova.. or dragonfirepotion is better
B-.. Brother? Is that you?
I'm 0-7 with this so far. I honestly tried and even if those stats are not quite enough to fully judge a deck; I'm not waiting another few losses for the one combo in ten. There are better priest decks imho
This deck is so fun to play. The combo is so satisfying even if it is so simple to complete. Dragon Priest FTW
Fukking 3:0 start on Rank 5! This is really good :)
So much fun when I pulled out the 14-dmg-burst Combo vs Renolock and he had no idea what was going on xDD
This is a Zetalot deck stupid thief
just because he streams and only plays priest.. don't mean every priest deck is made by him
Haven't won a single game of that burst combo. It adds 3 dead cards in a deck that desperately needs more removal and AoE.
3win 4 loss atm
Are there good substitutes for wyrmrest agent and twilight guardian? I don't want to spend my dust crafting TGT cards that are the soonest to expire.
