Control Deck, using Leeroy + Panda, Ysera, or Mind Control as a finisher. Can combo Leeroy + Hola Nova if need be, clears Whelps, but only worth it when you can get more value out of it.
The Decks main weakness, as is true for all Priest Decks, is mobs with 4 Attack. To combat this you can either use your 3-4 Drops to trade, or Crazed Alchemist/Dark Iron Dwarf in conjunction with Shadow Words.
I used to have 1x Acolyte of Pain, and it worked really well for Card Draw, not sure if I should bring it back or not. Same goes for Novice Engineer. I worry that Northshire Cleric and Power Word:Shield isn't enough Draw..
The quantities for the 2-4 Drops aren't set in stone, not sure yet what will work best. Most notably Senjin, Mana Wraith, Ooze, Dark Iron Dwarf, Harvest Golem, etc.. I usually end up trying to do too much when I make Decks, but this one is pretty straight forward I think.
So far I've won 19/20 matches in Ranked with it, only lost to a Shaman in the early stages of the Deck. Any input would be appreciated ^.^
Very well made indeed. Uses good synergy in the early game in order to have a more on board presence with the support of spells alongside an ok late game. Suggestions I would give to improve on this deck: Drop Harvest Golem in favor of Injured Blademaster as that will function well with northshire cleric as well as being a strong 3 drop for turn 3 or 5. One mana wraith might do well enough since you have somewhat better capability in the early game than other control deck options. Probably trade it in favor of an owl or spellbreaker to have a silence. Aside from those, secondary options (in terms of tournament or just preference where you can switch cards) would be with swamp oozes and crazed alchemist for something you would find more favorable.
Well I usually don't use Leeroy until the end, either with a Panda for 12 damage, with a Holy Nova, or a Taunt. Giving the enemy Whelps isn't that big of a deal to a Priest.
What's also interesting, is that I rarely end a game where my Life is below 27..
Though I do like the Injured Blademaster idea. One of the main reasons that I really like Harvest Golem and Senjin, is because they survive Flamestrike. A healed Blademaster will have the sweet spot of 5 Life, which puts them in the clear. I'll consider it. :)
In last few days I am trying to make working Priest deck without much success, I've seen this thread and liked very much idea of the deck but I am missing some cards like Ysera, Crazed Alchemist, Leeroy, 2x Mana Wraith.
I've put instead there cards: 2x Acolyte of Pain (instead of Mana Wraiths, I don't have them so I guessed to add more card draw would be nice), Arcane Golem (instead of Leeroy, it's 4x less dmg with Panda combo but it's at least something), and there is kinda no replacement for Ysera so I put one silence (Owl).
Do you have maybe some ideas what could I add (that is not expensive :P) to make the deck better, if it's possible at all.
I am currently 2 stars Master league (if that means anything).

Thanks for sharing the deck! <3
The main reason I have Leeroy in my Deck, aside from loving the card and the Panda combo, is because in the VERY FIRST pack I opened after the Wipe, I got a Golden Leeroy Jenkins..
I was mostly undefeated in my Deck, even before I added Ysera, so she isn't that necessary, but she is the best Legendary. And for a Legendary as good as her, she is also fun [i](usually they are either fun or good, rarely both.)[/i]
I'm probably going to drop the Mana Wraiths as it stands, and Arcane Golem is pointless. Just use solid common minions that you like and give good value. Maybe some Temple Enforcers.

You say Golem is pointless but I put it in the deck with same idea to be used as Leeroy. But after testing the deck for last 4 hours I have to say it is almost pointless. First I have to get both Golem+Panda in hand (which is same issue with Leeroy+Panda I guess), in all games I got Golem early it was just a dead card in my hand, I also can't use it before 9/10th turn as giving mana crystal to opponent is deal breaker and all that trouble for 8dmg finisher does seem pointless - so I will be removing him.
I'll try Temple Enforcers, was thinking also about Lightspawns but I am not sure if I like creature that is fully countered by silence.
I hope you will update your deck with new minions you found to work awesome with this deck after you replace Mana Wraiths. I'll do my own testing of course but I just generally suck with deck making. :P
How important you find Crazed Alchemist? I have now dust to craft 1 Rare, but would like to know how important he is before I do that. I get the idea of swapping stats for SWD/P kills on paper, but in real games how often that card did you good in games?
Any thought about Mass Dispel? Do you see good use of it in this type of the deck, giving that you don't have silence and MD also gives you draw.
Also maybe it's good idea that you make/test and publish (primary because I guess you have access to more cards than average Joe) version of the deck without legendary cards.

I've made some changes to my Decklist, you can see it in the original post. Since I only have 1 Alchemist, I wasn't able to draw it in my testing, and eventually I just removed it. So I can't say for certain how effective he is. But I really do struggle against 4 Attack minions, so maybe I'll bring him back.
I feel as those Lightspawn is useless, that is why I have 2x Chillwind Yeti in my Deck instead of Lightspawn. As I feel they are the exact same card, except Yeti isn't useless when silenced, and also has a constant Attack. Chances are, Lightspawn will become a 3/3 by the time you can even attack with him. Yeah, you can heal it, but what if you don't have the spare Mana? Or he gets silenced? He is a liability. Even with the potential for a Power Word: Shield combo, he still isn't worth it.

this deck ALWAYS loses to the typical warrior rush deck that EVERY warrior is running (like this: http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/deck-sharing-and-feedback/1227-warrior-beatdown-win-faster-than-ever )
annoying as fuck. warrior rush deck hardcounters this deck
