Hello All!
So once I reached rank 5, I decided to explore more decks. I came across a silence priest in ranked and I thought, hey, I'll make my own! Sooo few games later, i climbed from rank 4 to Legend in a short amount of time. This is my first deck that I'm sharing on here and I hope you guys will enjoy it!
I went 37-13 from rank 4 and to Legend 22 currently. From the stats, you can see that the deck is really strong against Shaman (mainly Elemental Shaman). The deck is also strong against Taunt warrior. Pirate Warrior is a hit or miss, depending on your starting hand. Quest rouge is an issue if they complete the quest and play it by turn 4 or 5.
It's hard to pinpoint if the other person is aggro or control in the current meta, so mulligan based on aggro.
You want a combination of the following cards in your starting hand for the most part:
- Northshire Cleric
- Humongous Razorleaf
- Ancient Watcher
- Acolyte of Pain
- Silence
- Kabal Talonpriest
If you know you're against a zoo like classe like Warlock, Druid(new aggro druids), or Pally (new murloc pallys), then you would want to try to aggressively mulligan for Circle of Healing and Auchenai Soulpriest combo to clear their board in the early game and win by them having used all of their resources early on.
If you have coin, keeping Purify and Ancient Watcher is a very strong combo.

EDIT:
So the meta is always changing and I decided to change a few cards to the current version i'm running.
Changes:
-1 Acolyte of Pain
- 1 Sunfury Protector
- 1 Bittertide Hydra
- 1 Auchenai Soulpriest
- 1 Kabal Songstealer
+2 Shadow Visions
+1 Lyra the Sunshard
+1 Embrace the Shadow
+1 Mass Dispel
Explanation for changes:
Shadow Visions is a great card and adding two of these has allowed for the other deck changes. Shadow visions allow you to dig for situational cards based on the current board state. You can create another Divine Spirit for when you need a bigger taunt or Embrace the Shadow for when you have Circle of Healing but no Auchenai Soulpriest and need to clear the board.
Shadow Visions also creates the ability to have more potential Silence in your deck, which allowed for room to take away - 1 Kabal Songstealer and - 1 Sunfury Protector (because more minions will be used as big threats instead of defensive targets.
Mass Dispel is specifically teched in for Taunt Warrior. Many times there are multiple taunts in the away and the combo is in hand, so Mass Dispel helps with that. It also helps to free up the other silences in order to save those for your own minions and not have to use them on the enemies.
Lyra the Sunshard is a great card to get more situational cards and because of all of the cheap spells in the deck, it tends to get a lot of value.
If you want to see me play a few games with the new updated deck, I have made a highlight video from a stream I did!

Correct, i'm not a fan of it.
He means when used in conjunction with Acolyte of Pain
That's actually not what I meant. Imagine you have 2-3 minions on board and you throw down pyro and Northhshire, cast a spell, then circle. That's what I was referencing in generating card draw.
Glad it's working for you!
Nobody cares about your bad decisions, especially when you passive aggressively try to pin the blame on some deck you found on Hearthpwn.
Instead of dusting your collection at the drop of a hat, you could learn to practice some self control...
Hello! I'm not the best expert at Hearthstone, or even this deck, but I managed to climb with it to Rank 5, and I could try to offer some tips. What exactly are you struggling with at with this deck?
Why not Arcane Giant?
Bittertide Hydra seems too risky to me.
Bittertide is 5 mana so you could drop it fairly early unless you have thrown a lot of (7) spells out for Arcane to be the same cost. Then you can silence it, faceless, the turn after as an 8/8 is fairly threatening.
I am having an extremely hard time with this deck. On a 10 loss streak at, I am rank 15 and it seems like my hand is always full with spells and no creatures. When I finally do get a combo going the other player usually has a removal and then I quickly loose.
Is Lyra the Sunshard worth disenchanting some cards or is there a replacement option? Thx fir every answer ;)
Shes nice to have, but not THAT important to the strategy, I replaced her and the Shamblers with 2 Defender of Argus and another bittertide, (I don't have shamblers) and been doing fine
it is a must have in this deck
Thanks for the answer, I'll replace one Ancient Watcher and Lyra the Sunshard with one Defender of Argus and one Frozen Crusher which I think is a really strong card in Silence Priest. I'll share my experience here in the comments after testing it.
in 24 games Lyra wasn't really useful once yet... so I wouldn't say it's a must have. Definetely depends on the matchup I guess. I mainly got aggro/zoo, quest warriors and other priests.
This deck is a hit or miss for me. I either start with all spells or the perfect hand.
What do you think about switching one Ancient Watcher with one Lightspawn. It costs more mana, but I can immediately pressure with +hp spells without the need for a Silence and Inner Fire? Haven't tried it yet, but that's an idea that came repeadetly when playing the deck.
Hilarious and strong deck truly a blast to play thank you XD !
