So this is just another deck I've thought of. My honest hopes for this coming year in standard is the gradual eradication of aggressive decks, with a new wave of control decks. I think with priest being fitted out with more powerful deathrattle minions, a quest to match and the continued support from N'zoth. I like to assume that the deck has solid millions and the ability to clear the field in a variety of ways.

So one card I think is a definite want is Elise Trailblazer which can prove to be excellent in control match-ups and ensuring card advantage, both you and your opponent cannot predict.

Along with this another card which strikes me as a real gem and first genuine tutor card, is Shadow Visions. This allows you to pull pieces from your deck to help fix a tricky situation while working as an extra copy, reducing fatigue I  the late game. The possibilities of this card are potentially limitless, especially in the wild format where otk priest is receiving lots of hype as it allows an additional Mind Blast or Flash Heal.

On to the deathrattle interaction we have a rather good quest, which almost acts as a (dare I say) better Reno, which not only restores you to full health. The card gives you a permanent 10 additional health and gives you a fairly formidable taunt minion, for one mana less too. While it's not something you can simply draw the other methods of board clear and straight removal will ensure you survive to a point where your quest will be completed.

So amongst the board clear we have Dragonfire Potion which will be so effective now Blackrock will be leaving the standard format. We also have the old reliable Auchenai Soulpriest and circle combo. Which can be even easier to achieve thanks to out ability to tutor.

Please browse through the deck and tell me your suggestions, I'll be making viable changes as cards continue to be revealed. I feel that Priest may receive an additional deathrattle as it's second legendary. So until then we'll just have to wait and see. 

In light of recent card releases I've made some changes. (-1 Auchenai Soulpriest, -1 Northshire Cleric.) This has been done to allow more deathrattle interactive cards to go into the deck. With the inclusion of Shadow Visions you are able to potential discover Embrace the Shadows when seeking large scale removal. The main reasons for removing a cleric is due to Potion of Madness being so helpful in trading up early threats. 

(+2 Mirage Caller.) This is quite a powerful minion and is fantastic for completing our quest. Also with use of our oracle and shade we are able to get even more card advantage against our opponent, with Cairne as a cool interaction in the late game. 

(-1Entomb +1 Gluttonous Ooze.) This change has been made for a couple of reasons, the first being the fact that entomb will no longer be in the standard format and an unplayable card as a result. The second is that Gluttonous Ooze will be essential in shutting down enemy weapons. Whether that's in hard hitting warrior deck or a hunter who's happy to get more durability for his bow, by use of secrets.
