Hey Hearthpwn, I'm infernO 24 years old italian player for Team Prophecy. I made this decklist with my friend RickM 23 years old player for team DMTK Brawlers.
We wanted to build a meta broker list to climb ladder with an Elemental based Priest with Divine Spirit + Inner Fire combos.
We both achieved legend from rank 4 and 5. This deck is not that easy and direct to play, so we made this guide to explain how to use it perfectly.

-Questions;
-Replacements.
Gameplay:
First of all this is kind of Midrange Priest that generates a good board using the elemental sinergy. Is not a deck to play on curve, because you have to optimize the Elementals chain in order to activate their effects. Thanks to Radiant Elemental, Shadow Visions and Lyra the Sunshard it's easy to find out pieces for the combo.
Mulligan:
Generally you have to mulligan for the early game, which is Northshire Cleric, Fire Fly, Radiant Elemental and if you already have one of these you can also keep Power Word: Shield and with the coin Kabal Talonpriest.
Against aggro decks is recommended to hard mulligan for Tar Creeper also (with Fire Fly and the coin you can also keep the Tol'vir Stoneshaper).
Questions:
-Isn't Lightspawn a good value card with Divine Spirit and the Elemental sinergies?
I think Lightspawn is way too slow card and easily tradable because it has always its attack equal to the health and could be weakened by removals and easily traded by the opponent's board.
-Is there any sense to play this deck without Lyra the Sunshard?
Actually Lyra is a very good card, more than we thought at the start, because priest has such nice spells which cost very low that can help you cycle well with Radiant Elementals, she can easily help you to comeback lost games with nice picks (like Gadgetzan Auctioneer). She's also an elemental!
-Why no Ozruk? With that many elementals in the deck, Ozruk plus Inner Fire would just win?
Ozruk costs is way to high, and many times you won't have his body on the board for more than 1 turn since it can easily be removed from all the single target removals (like Hex, Execute, and so on).
-How does this deck perform against taunt warrior?
Against taunt warriors you need to be fast pushing face damage, using Divine Spirit and Inner Fire in the early game, in way to find out lethal using Lyra in the midgame.
Also you can beat taunt warriors using Potion of Madness on their 2-6 or 2-7 taunts to buff them with your spells and otk them!
Deck Replacement:
If you face many pirate warriors and generally aggro decks:
-1 Blazecaller
-1 Shadow Word: Death
+1 Tortollan Shellraiser
+1 Potion of Madness

I really like this deck. I'm not a very good player but I feel I get more and more confortable playing this deck and it actually took me from rank 20 to 13 with a very good ratio, the hardest match-ups I had were Elemental Shaman, and Pirate Warrior when they had god-like starting hands. But honestly, I love playing this deck, thanks :D
Fun deck, which is working really good, if you are not getting too many taunt warriors or Quest Rogues in your way (which are kinda tough matchups).

how do you deal with quest rogues? This feel way too slow for that match-up
I feel, even with a couple of rats, that this deck is still too slow for quest rogues.
Anyways what to replace for rats?
Just mulligan hard for low cost minions. I have won most of my matches against quest rogues. They usually ignore your board the first turns. so you can get some pretty big minions
Actually, this deck is the only one that took me to victory against Quest Rogues ! It's essentially a matter of mulligan, and the spells you get from our dear favourite sunshard Lyra the Sunshard.
I think cutting one Tol'vir is reasonable. I don't think the deck needs two. A second Shellraiser is a fine replacement for it, or even a Fire Plume, since it helps deal spot damage (valuable in Priest) and can allow you to Kalimos on curve.
this deck is garbage
Care to explain why so? I've had the time of my life with this deck and I've been winning against quest rogues and pirate warriors.
found the pirate warrior
I swapped out 2x Fire Fly and 1x Radiant Elemental for 2x Crystalline Oracle and 1x Elise the Trailblazer and I've been flying up the ladder - I'd estimate approx 75% winrate. It's been lot's of fun! Thanks for putting it together!
14 spells and not playing Frost Giant?
You mean Arcane Giant?
I think u mean Arcane Giant
Thanks for the deck. Somewhat similar in gameplay with Silence Priest but discounts from radiants allow Lyra to shine even brighter. Really funny to play but requires some experience to do that more consistently.. Would recomend those who dont get essentials first try several casual matches, analyzing what went wrong (if it did) and then try this out. The only thing that I personally miss in this deck after silence priest are silences) sometimes Lyra corrects that.
This deck is so bad when you draw just spells. I can not prevent a 8 lose streak with this deck, there is nothing you can do with a hand full of spells, hearthstone is a game where board wins the game, not spells.
well bro, i've played almost every deck in this meta and it is clear that this deck gets destroyed by warriors and rogues. purify priest is one of my favorites this season and it requires much more brain than your defense on this deck. so stop being a cunt and let people make their own comments :)
ps: i have already reached legend with miracle rogue and aggro druid, and destroyed every priest that played elementals. board presence is important, learn to play.
Made an account just to say how amazing this deck is. Currently rank 15 to 11 with 0 losses. Versus Murlocs and rogues, a turn 3 10/10 tar creeper instantly wins. Pirate warrior has no chance.
Really nice work on the deck and instructions. Great of you to share!
This deck is absolutely insane, went from rank 15 to 10 without losing once. Plus it's really fun to play!
