Hello again,
i reached legend again tonight and again I did it with a Dragon Priest list.
Proof: Click me
Priest is by far my favourite class and I - as many people were - was very glad to see the nerf to the Rogue Quest, mostly because it meant that Dragon Priest's worst match up is now gone.
The list is inspired by ItsTimeToDDDDDDDDDuel's list which he posted one week ago. He gave me the hint to run Silence.
I was sceptical about it at first but it fits into the deck very nicely and crushes a lot of clutch plays by popular archetypes. It also synergizes well withLyra the Sunshard and Priest of the Feast. Common targtes of Silence include: Van Cleef, Sherazin, Steed, Tirion, Twilight Drake, Doomsayer, Aya and so forth.
Because a lot of Jade Druids run rampant on the ladder i chose to include Ysera instead of the second Primordial Drake because she is hard to remove, is a good target for Inner Fire and can give us Dream, which slows Jade Druid down a lot. The more i played her, i realized that she is actually very good in other match-ups as well.
I did not track my stats, since i play a lot on my iPad but i got to legend very fast this time. Rank 5 to legend I did in approx 3 days with a run from rank 4 to legend in one night (approx 5 hours). I guess I played less than 60 games from rank 5 to legend with a winrate somewhere around 70% I would assume.
The deck has no bad match-ups at the moment, with the best match up being Burn Mage and the worst maybe being Pirate Warrior which is very rare on ladder atm.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Regards,
Schmuv
been using this deck all season. Up to rank 1 right now. Lots of fun.
Great to hear!

Inner Fire is great in this Deck because there are many defensively statted minions that we can cast it upon. Power word shield and Kabal talon priest also give us health buffs. In some match ups an early big minion can give you the win. Versus jade druid for example, an early 8-8 cleric is something they cannot clear easily. It can also help to put a minion like primordial drake to 8 attack so you can kill it with shadow word death. It is also unexpected in this Deck so opponents do play around it.
Why are there no Book Wyrm in this deck? I thought this was an obvious pick in a dragon deck
It's actually not. You seldom need a book wyrm in the meta today because the deck runs two Pains and can discover more with Shadow Visions. From time to time you can discover a Book Wyrm when it makes sense vs. Taunt Warrior f.e. I used to run even two Wyrms 3 Seasons ago, when there were a lot of taunt warriors on the ladder but that trend has subsided. Haven't missed it yet.
