This is the first time i got legend and it is with my own deck which gives me such a joy
this deck is too strong right now only jade druids got %50 win rate against it other than that every match up is just easy
i can give a comprehensive guide if this deck gets some recognition.
CARDS
nortshire cleric - that is an important card, if you have it against an aggro deck or a token deck like evolve shaman just use it in turn 1. If you go against a slower deck try to get at least one card draw from it. *essential
Potion of Madness - that is an amazing tool against aggro and you almost always want this card in your opening hand. We all know how great a card this is. *essential
Power Word: Shield - another priest card we use in almost every deck. *essential
Acidic Swamp Ooze and Gluttonous Ooze - we face tons of weapons this meta. pirate warriors and Jade Claws , paladins, even medivhs time to time. that led me to play two weapon eaters which provide great utiliy. reason i choose those two over Harrison Jones is they can come in much earlier and thats really important since a lot of weapons bring you down early. *one essential second optional
replacement for second ooze: Harrison Jones, curious glimerroot, Kabal Talonpriest
Golakka Crawler - well pirates.... *essential
Museum Curator - this card does not shine against aggros, you should mulligan it away all the time unless the other cards you have are all 8,9 and 10 drops. but it gives a card for n'zoth in bigger games and you can choose the minion according to the situation. *optional
replacement: Mirage Caller, Cabal Shadow Priest, curious glimerroot
Shadow Visions - *ESSENTIAL. GETS YOU THE MUCH NEEDED SPELL FOR THE SITUATION.
Shadow Word: Pain: classic priest control card. *essential
Spirit Lash- so many aggro made me tech this in it is good but not great can be replaced.*optional
replacements: Deathlord , Bloodmage Thalnos, Loot Hoarder, Crystalline Oracle
Shadow Word: Death: classic *essential
Velen's Chosen: *essential for the value that it brings when trading, unseen spell damage buff and protecting an important minion.
Kazakus, Priest of the Feast,Excavated Evil, Raza the Chained, Sludge Belcher: ALL ESSENTIAL in the fight against aggro and several extra traits.
Vol'jin - i personally would never change this card since it worked great for me. but it is between being essential and optional. also
Cairne Bloodhoof, Entomb, Skulking Geist - are all replacable with the following as well as Vol'jin
replacement: Kabal Songstealer,Nexus-Champion Saraad, Archbishop Benedictus Cabal Shadow Priest,Loatheb, Antique Healbot, The Black Knight, elise trailblazer
rest of the deck that are not mentioned are all unreplacable aswell.
good luck in your matches. Needs practice to master but easy to play.
Honeslty I'm being destroyed by decks on rank 19 so I have no idea how you got a 82 win rate.
Also I think Dragon Priest much more powerful because they can draw much more value cards and they have 2 entombs 2 shadow word death how can you compete ?
I played 1 game so far vs Dragon Priest and got absolutely destroyed. I think Dragon Priest is stronger than this deck.
EDIT : Actually I played a nother game and this time I shat on the Dragon's Face. FeelsGoodMan.
oved the deck! Did a few changes, tell me what you think -
I took out Museum Curator, replaced it with one of my Priest fav Lightwarden. Don't know why it doesn't get played much out there... anyhow - it helps with those meany fast hitters deck, it gets pumped up nicely with the Power Word: Shield, and ends up fat and heavy already on round 3.
I also took out entombd, although I love the card, replaced it with Shadow Word: Horror, which solves so many situations you won't believe it... unless you got a better offer :) Entombd is nice, but too late in the game for me in this deck.
What about Golakka Crawler - is it really necessary in the deck? Do you have something better on your mind? Just thinking...
i like your changes, this really could work especially against faster decks. Entomb is better versus control matchups aswell as Museum Curator.
I absolutely love Golakka Crawler only because it really puts a amazing pressure against pirate warriors which is great. and sometimes token shamans and those few rogues use Bloodsail Corsairs with patches. If you see no pirates or few of them you can replace it with Bloodmage Thalnos or Loot Hoarder or even Zombie Chow
I beat the Lich King first try with this deck by the way. Thanks for the ladder climb AND the easy Lich King win!
Here is standard variant of this deck with C'thun

Why tournament medic? If the deck ran more buff cards then sure but as of right now I don't understand how it helps.
you might be right about that. as you can see i just recently changed priest of the feast to a tournament medic and i am on exprementation
Deck has been working well for me from Rank 5, 0 stars. 67% win rate at the moment. Weak to aggro unless you get the right early draws but really great in a control matchup.
I crafted Paletress for this deck and thus far I am not regretting it. She is an additional win condition in control should they bust through your N'Zoth drops. I've even used her as a soft taunt to prevent face damage and dig for more answers.
Regarding the 2 oozes. This has also worked as a bluff card against weapon classes and even Warlocks. One game I was against a Renolock who I suspected had Jaraxxus in hand. I played the first Ooze as a bluff. He then played Jaraxxus, thinking his weapon was safe. Not so my friend! That was the key to winning the match!
I'm not sure if putting a Deathlord would help in the aggro match up or not and it often makes the control matchup worse as they tend to get a greedier minion out earlier more than likely. I've been playing against more control than aggro at Rank 4 and 5 so I'm going to leave it out for the time being.
Umm how did you get to legend with this. I have a more early game priest and much more power houses and not for example northshire cleric amd power word shield that basically do nothing. Im only rank 11 and i have tortollan and deathlord and still lose to aggro most of the time. How?
cleric and shield should include in every priest deck dude.
Ummmm no. Cleric kills nothing and you often get no cards from it. If your heal denies a 2 drop its bad. And shield is not that good tbh. I ran both in my deck but they suked ass and didnt offer me any tempo
i will rephrase my self, cleric should be included in most priest decks, that said i think you misunderstand the deck, its not a tempo deck.
cleric should not offer you tempo, it should offer you value and 1/3 bodys are good against many aggro decks.
I do understand it but you will get absolutely shat on if you have no good early game againts aggro. Cleric provides no protection but card like mistress and chow are good. im was rank 9 with my own variation of this last seaso
This deck is amazing - given the right opportunistic draw - it has all the answers for any situation. For instance, I just got a second copy of Entomb via Shadow Visions, which made me collect 2 of my opponent core minions : Reno Jackson and N'Zoth, the Corruptor ! That greedy control tho ... ^^
only card I dont have is Shadowreaper Anduin, replacement for him?
shadowreaper anduin is the sole purpose for playing highlander priest. It's the most insane card in the deck.
not bad sir, not bad! however made few changes.
Dr. Boom >> The Black Knight (lots of taunt minions, lich king especially)
Confessor Paletress >> The Lich King (i believe more value, its just hard to inspire all the time and no one knows what it will bring)
Gluttonous Ooze >> Deathlord (2 oozes in 1 deck too much imho)
Cairne Bloodhoof >> Mass Dispel (cant imagine a priest deck without it!)
Vol'jin >> Excavated Evil (dont have the card, so turn 5 clear is good since we dont have much minions till 5-6)
Mass Dispel is not necessary imo.
so far i am pleased with it :) met lots of druids cried like baby because of Mass Dispel ooh.. when they have played Living Mana!
