This Deck is so OP.
Mulligan:
Go for Northshire Cleric > Shadow Ascendant > Netherspite Historian > Shadow Visions.
If you have the first turn play Northshire Cleric and in 2. Turn Shadow Ascendant. It is a nice tempo to start the game.
Turn 4 go for Twilight Drake if you have at least 5 cards on your hand.
Tar Creeper is always a good choice to protect your board. Best in combination with Shadow Ascendant.
Cards and meanings:
Northshire Cleric --- Mulligan prio! great start and nice to draw cards for Twilight Drake .
Potion of Madness --- Best against Hunter i guess. Nice to clear early board control.
Shadow Ascendant --- Mulligan card! Boost your Northshire Cleric or Netherspite Historian very well.
Shadow Visions --- Nice boost for Endgame with an extra Free From Amber or an extra board clear with Dragonfire Porion .
Shadow Word: Pain and Shadow Word: should be clear.
Eternal Servitude --- i got this in here because of the Free from Amber Minions which are pretty OP so you can get them back for only 4 Mana.
Greater Healing Potion --- If you need 2 of them you can get an extra card from Shadow Visions but i think after the patch you don't need 2 of them because of the nerf of Aggro Decks.
Drakonid Operative --- Pretty nice to kill the enemy with his own Cards!
Dragonfire Potion --- one of the best board clears in the game i guess.
Free From Amber --- only use it in combination with Medivh, the Guardian very OP combo.
Mind Control --- Same, just use it with Medivh and get a 10-drop!
Cobalt Scalebane --- Very OP card i think. Just boost your other Minions in mid game.
Primordial Drake --- a little bit of control to the deck. Also benefits from the Drake boni.
Hope you like it. If you have any Questions just ask in the comments below!
Thats Dragon decks for ya, you should Learn how to play the deck
Didn't have a Primordial Drake so I ended up replacing it with Stonehill Defender.
I also replaced one Shadow Ascendant since it was a dead draw most the time with another Stonehill.
Honestly, Shadowreaper these days would only be viable on decks synced with no duplicates.
A 0 mana Ping with Raza the Chained on Shadowreaper makes for a nice machinegun.
Go wild and throw in a Confessor Paletress. Spew out some Legendaries, think outside the box.
2 copies of ascendant but only one 1 drop, only one potion of madness, no feist, no bone drake, eternal servitude which only gets value turn 6 or later. Why on earth do people keep upvoting this? It's the easiest thing in the world to load up HS and make your own much better version of dragon priest that actually works vs the current meta.
Dragon priest is alive
This deck works 100% only 5% of games
Shadow Ascendant definitely shouldn't make the cut, Eternal Servitude isn't great either. Shadow could have potential in a heavy zoo deck but not here.
I replaced the above with Geist, Faerie Dragon. I also like Ysera and one Holy Nova depending on what I'm playing against.
What do you replace for your suggestions?
We both suggested swaps above, but generally speaking these two dragon decks are outperforming this one by a lot right now if you want to try something else.

Thanks for the deck it really working, fought my way to rank 9 -> 5 easily with WR% 76.5.
Those Tempo/Aggro Rogues was easy to defeat.
No OP hunters tho :( playing one now, turn 6 rexxar, lets see what happens with his infinite value :D
Edit: He lost pretty hard, he had trouble handling MY Value of 3 Free from Ambers and all the shit i stole from him with 4 Operatives :D
I`ve been playing this deck for 2 days. Didnt know what to play in this season... took 3 week brake from HS.
And I climb ladder with this deck pretty nicely. From 20 rank to 10th rank.
Lost a lot of games against Hunter. But rektered Quest warriors, Taunt Druids, even Exodia mage couple of times.
I think very aggro decks rekts this deck. But anyways for its low cost its very nice deck. I think It need little bit update mby, but I think I could reach rank 5 with this deck. (Been playing HS only for like 4/5 months)
This is a nice try to get dragon priest going again... but I think the deck falls flat for following reasons. Firstly you need a gluttonous ooze else weapon decks will run all over you. Second, I like the idea of shadow ascendent to buff early game minions, but for this reason you are usually playing cards on the first few turns, ruining the effect of Twilight Drake. I rarely get more than a 4/5 twilight drake out with a *tempo* oriented deck (and this is a tempo deck), so I suggest cut the drakes for Kabal Talon Priest. Thirdly the deck is way too slow. I dont know if Medivh is the right 8-cost legendary. I tried with the Lich King for better results. Forthly, Cobalt Scalebanes are very popular these days, and if your opponent plays one, you cant clear with dragonfire potion. Fifth - where the HELL is YSERA ?!?! She would be perfect in this deck. Thanks anyways and please analyse my comments (I'm a legendary player with dragon priest in 2016 meta).
So....basically is get early lead or get *****
Dude I'm losing all of my matches against hunter with this deck
Hello guys!
I tried this deck and I did not expect it would be so entertaining, after all it is dragon priest and it is known to be the ezpz "curvestone" deck at least in the past.
I have to say that it was one of the most enjoyable decks that I played in like 2 months. I dont know it just reminded me the old dragon priest with something fresh in it... definitely worth to try it out!
In the video there are two matchups -
1)midrange hunter
2)Kele rogue (secret agent gets a lot of attention here :D)
I hope you can enjoy the video and see you guys! :)
Need Skulking Geist
I dont think you can reasonably substitute that, it's an insanely powerful card.
Lightbomb is a good equiv
Golden dragon fire?
