Hey guys, thank you for all the support, comments, and tips that I received for this deck! I read every single comment and watched every single showcase. I'm so happy that this deck got over 100 upvotes. I promised a full guide, but unfortunately due to a busy schedule, I am not able to write one on a short notice. For my upcoming decks I will try to guide you as much as possible, as I hoped I did with this deck! Cheers!
I made my own Dragon Priest based on the current meta. Have fun ;). If you like my deck, you can donate in Bitcoins! You can find the details below. You can also check out the Elementals of Oz: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/851294-elementals-of-oz-69-5-win-rate
*update*
- Based on experiences and more play, I decided to switch Wrathion with Elise the Trailblazer. Now you can use Shadow Visions to draw Un'Goro packs!
- To battle the many aggro decks and based on help in the comments, I decided to switch the two Radiant Elemental for Wild Pyromancer. The Radiant Elemental cards did not add many value since we do not play Lyra the Sunshard
Since we removed Wrathion, you can switch Faerie Dragon with a selection of other cards:
- If you come across a lot of Weapons: add a Acidic Swamp Ooze or less preferably a Gluttonous Ooze
- If you come across a lot of Pirates: try dealing with them with your minions or removal spells, another option is to add a Golakka Crawler
- Murlocs are very annoying, but try dealing with them with your minions or removal spells.
Thanks for all the comments, support, and suggestions! Keep them coming to make this deck better!
- Always buff your early game minions when possible. Especially Northshire Cleric, even if you need to use your coin for that.
- Only play shadow vision when in need of a spell!
- Almost always try to draw Drakonid Operative (when possible) from Netherspite Historian around turn 5.
- Do not waste your minions! Play wisely, if you think you have enough board to win, save the minions in your hand! Always anticipate on your opponents board whipes.
The goal is to make sure you survive and build a steady board. Your enemy will eventually run out of spells to deal with your minions or run out of cards. Especially Twilight Drake and Drakonid Operative are very important here since it almost always forces the enemy to clear instantly.
Unfortunately, I don't see people play Faerie Dragon a lot and I think the card is way undervalued. Especially against Mage it's very strong, plus dragon! Only too bad you cannot heal or buff it.
I chose not to add Lyra the Sunshard. I always think that Lyra is too messy because you want to get too much value out of it by saving your spells, what most of the time ruins your game.
If you do not own Elise the Trailblazer, Kiwiinbacon made a nice video where he replaced the card with Harrison Jones. This could be a good replacement. This video also shows some great tactics to handle this deck!

That's what I added as well
You don't. Lol.
hey played 4 games and won 3 :) trololol
Just made rank 15 with this deck. Only problems are hunters and OP QRogues.
question. if i dont have ysera or wrathion . should i craft elise or harrison + one of the other? is curator + ysera as good as harrison + ysera?
That depends what kind of decks you are playing. Ysera can be very good for endgame, and gives you a pretty big minion. Elise the Trailblazer will give you a pretty strong minion, plus a whole Un'Goro card pack (so if your hand is not too full, 5 extra cards, that can be pretty good).
As far as The Curator or Harrison Jones vs. Ysera, again, it depends on the deck. The Curator will give you a Taunt minion, and it will try and draw a Dragon, Murloc, and Beast from your deck. Even if you have none left, you still get Taunt. Harrison Jones is definitely better value against a class that has weapons, because it will destroy an opponent weapon and draw cards based on durability. Ultimately, as far as card draw is concerned, amount wise, they're about the same. The choice to make would be, do you want a weapon gone, or Taunt?
Unlikely in a Dragon deck, but if your only Dragon is Ysera (or perhaps the only Dragon left in the deck), then The Curator would be better, because you're certain to get her.
Loving this deck!
I'm using Fight Promoter in stead of Wrathion. Doesn't have taunt, but works well
why not elise?
It'll barely get you to rank 10 but after that it's terrible. Beats almost nothing in the meta currently.
Can you explain the choice of nova over 2nd dragon fire potion ?
One more mana for 3 more damage seems a good deal to me :) There is also the heal but it seems too situational to me.
it combos w/ clerics and is really good vs druid/sham aggro decks, 1 turn/mana is a big deal
also you can shadow visions another copy of dragon potion
Fun games vs control decks. Worst games vs aggro
I dont own wrathion, what do you think about curator instead?
Is Ysera necessary?
You can replace it with any other late game dragon, but it is actually very important in this deck..
Harrison provides value versus, pirate warriot, taunt warrior, jade shaman, token shaman, burn mage, miracle rogue, control midrange and aggro paladin. How is that only a couple of decks?
As I mentioned, you can replace Wrathion with Harrison
Oops, this was supposed to be a reply to your comment on EXayer's post. You stated,
"I dont think its viable to add a weapon remover to handle only 2 classes, and is worth almost nothing against other classes and also makes your deck less synergetic. Have you even tried playing this deck?"
Was meant as a reply, not it's own post. Did not mean to sound as aggressive as I did, only meant to defend EXayer's critique. Although on that note this deck really does not need Elise, it has enough threats already from all the dragons.
