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.
Table of contents:
-Gameplay;
-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

Even though this is a standard deck, this works extremely well in ranked wild. Although, I suggest adding acidic swamp ooze and golaka crawler to deal with pirate warrior in place of the Shadow Word: Deaths. I also removed Blaze caller and a shadow word: pain and replaced them with a silence and circle of healing. The silence works extremely well in all match ups since there is always a creature with an effect you with you could neutralize, and provides another free card if Lyra is down. Circle of healing is very useful for card draw when the northshire cleric is on the board and, like silence, provides another free spell if you have Lyra on the board. Switching a Tol'vir out for a dragon fire potion is another helpful fix that has saved me many games as this deck would otherwise have no AOE.
i created an account just to thank you op for the list, I started playing this deck three days ago in my spare time and now I'm already at rank four, extremely good deck for climbing, i haven't changed one thing but sometimes no aoe can hurt against token druid but it does well against almost all else, mage is a bit busted because ice block and rogue is a 50/50 to win or lose but its good against all else.
Deck is good in general, but i get bored of it quite fast...
Complete shit deck in current meta. Don't know when were you playing it, but it's being beaten by almost each deck in near-legend and legend ranks. Even the most non-consistent silence priest works better.

Fuck you and your shitty virus-latent link.
Up against a Paladin. Lost hardcore to murloc synergy. .-.

hello what i should do? should i create this deck or silence priest? which one is better for the current meta?
This deck is powerful, I replaced one [card]Tol'vir Stoneshaper[/card] for one Elise the Trailblazer
i have elise , how i can replace ?
Thanks for the list. I didn't have much success climbing to legend with this deck but tried it again now and climbed from 7k to 900 with 69% (40-18) :). It has decent match ups vs almost everything, the worst ones are dragon priest and quest rogue but I didn't face to many of them.
0 - 13 quest rogues. How to not suck ass against them? Thanks.
Quest roque is the worst for this deck. All that can save you is insane draws with double Divine Spirit + Inner Fire.
Only then you can win onfortunately.
But at ranks 5 to legend you will barely see quest roques. Only while climbing the ladder you will.
That's why this deck is so awesome from on rank 5.
- 1 Shadow Word: Pain
- 1 Shadow Word: Death (you can discover another copy for different matches)
- Blazecaller (very situational and you can't always trigger it)
- 2 Tol'vir Stoneshaper
+ Circle of Healing — for trades and card draw
+ Dragonfire Potion — for rogues and, you know, mass clear is always good
besides you have more options to discover and easy turn 5 lyra trigger
+ Acolyte of Pain — for even more draw
+ 2 Priest of the Feast
I prefer to draw fast, find lethal and finish. Your deck is more about board control, but in current meta with taunts, paladins, rogue turn 4 quest and otk mages — it is better to be more agressive.
priests help to survive agro decks like fcking reno: they just concede after 15 heal in a turn.
basically you need small elementals only to trigger discovers (more Lyras, more radiants and so on). stoneshapers don't help much, no hp for buffing, easy to remove.
so far rank 10 > rank 3.
That's the thing. You should not try to always save lyra.
Use Lyra when it suits. Even if you can only use Shadow word Shield on her for example.
Your opponent will have a hard time removing a 7 hp minion and even if they do, they have to spend their removals.
You can always discover more Lyra's from Servant of Kalimos.
If so, you are not playing it right. I managed to get rank 3 last month by only playing this deck (made 3 changes though).
Which changes did you made?
This deck is literally an elemental priest deck lol.
I kind of have the same problems with hunter. No matter what you do, with all their adapt this adapt that they are so fast, they burn you out.
