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.

-Mulligan;
-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

The access to multiple Lyras is really what puts this over the edge. It's what sets it apart from other miracle priest decks. And still some wiggle room to tinker with a few cards. Very fun deck!
Thanks a lot man for the deck. I did get to the highest rank i was in and it works really well. Again thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot for the deck! Been playing around with it and loving it so far - been having a ~65% win rate as an inexperienced player (ranks 20-16, mind, but since I was usually stuck at 19 before I see this as an achievement ^^)
One question, though. Any tips on how to recover from a particularly unlucky mulligan + first few card draws? Had a few games where I couldn't get any free draws (Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield etc) until round 6 or so, at which point it becomes really difficult to continue. I couldn't even find any pointers on Youtube since everyone just seems to upload "this deck is awesome" videos where they get lucky with their card draws.
The above isn't a criticism of the deck, just a request for some advice. :)
Not much you can do if you get rekt really hard on the mulligan. This deck, similar to silence priest, is reliant on being on board in order to build up big minions that your opponent can't deal with. You can try dropping Blazecaller or Stoneshaper and fitting in a Pyro or board clear, but I think this deck works better without a clear. Just have to take the bad mulligan on the chin sometimes.
What are your thoughts on Mirage Caller in this deck? I saw it as a one-of in a couple other miracle Lyra decks, but yours is the one I ended up building first. I'm sometimes struggling to draw my second Radiant Elemental (Though I realize you don't necessarily need both to start pumping out spells.) It could also a second Lyra the Sunshard for funny memes
He feels a little like a win-more card. He also kind of breaks the elemental theme, but I was just wondering if you've tried him out in this and what your experience was.
I made an account to upvote that deck. I've been playing since release and reached legend for the first time with it. Also, it's really fun to play!
Thank you for sharing it!
Great deck, thanks InfernO! I love playing priest and have been struggling to find a deck to beat the meta which is largely warrior and rogue. From 20 games at rank 4 I have a 75% winrate and have just about hit rank 1. Hope to push on to legend for the first time with this.
This deck is particularly strong against quest rouge and quest warrior, that's more than 70% of the games. If the braindead pirate warrior ignores your Radiant Elemental you can win the game also. Versus all other classes you will have a balanced, healthy and fun game. Running 2 Potion of Madness is crucial.
Any room for [card]Elise the Trailblazer/card]?
I replaced hemet for elise in the version im using.
Great deck doesnt cost many dust and can give a hard time for any build, go 18 - 5 rank like 5 days, just needs training with synergies, i use the modification vs aggro mad potion is a beast in this meta, thanks for deck !
I use Mind Blast
I just wana thank you for this deck! The last time i had so much fun with priest was with lightbombs against those secret-palas.
It seems that the shamans destroy it
Could you please post a video as to how to combo and how you play out your cards, I am having trouble knowing what to and what not to play at the right time
Could you write up a bit about the paladin matchup? I've been facing a lot of those from rank 5 and up.
she is pretty much your win condition if you're not super lucky with card draw, she is the miracle of the deck Lyra the Sunshard
a good deck is if it goes from 5 to 1, it is easy 8-5
p.s I play on 2 rank
This deck is AWESOME! +1!
Thanks for the deck, works great, leveling from 15 to 13.
