I've gotten some PM's on N'Zoth builds and although I don't normally share my decks, I understand how frustrating it is to play Priest in the current meta. I share and feel your pain, lol.
No pyros? I find a big pyromancer play is what wins games with priest. Can you explain why you don't run that?
Also, agree on my tech. It's so good vs shaman.
I found that playing Cleric, Pyro and PW: Shield is not as effective in the current meta. Embrace is really making a difference against aggro and mid range.
Since I'm also not running Holy Nova, Pyro doesn't mix well with Excavated Evil. Pyro also doesn't run well with Embrace + Circle - which I find mulligan for if I'm playing what I suspect is aggro/zoo. I'm also playing doomsayer wich is clunky with a pyro.
You have to be very greedy with your AOE and you will normally be at around 18 health by mid game. But from then on, you should be able to stabilize.

Great art can never be created without great suffering.
Cabal has been crazy good against Shaman (Wolves), Zoo (Any of their Taunts), Tempo Mage (Flame, Wyrm). It has paid off against control to take their Acolyte away. It's great against Tempo Warrior if they leave Bloodhoof taunt unraged.
But if you face more midrange deck, you can take Cabal out and add 2 Holy Campions or one Champion and a Cairne.

NZoth Priest is awful in Standard, and only slightly less bad in Wild.
It's not as good as Good'Ol control Priest but when piloted correctly it wins more games than it loses. Andoran (Another great Priest player!) had good success with N'Zoth Priest.

thats like saying priest must be a strong deck because zetalot hits legend with it.

Thanks for the insight. I never even thought of dropping pyromancer, but you made some interesting points. Definitely going to try this out next time I decide to run some control priest.

Is that why he still stuck at rank 8?
Rank 8 with Priest is definitely a success!
But just for clarity, last I saw him he was at rank 6, unless he fell a couple.

Here is the build I am running at the moment.
Remember to be flexible and pay attention to what you are facing from day to day.
Godspeed.

I have a question for all the priest players of this community:
Do you only face control warrior/paladin ?
Every time i got a warrior/paladin daily, i queue against a nzoth priest, and lost ranked games in a row
Every other class, not a single priest opponent
f2p, playing for fun ^^
No, 80 to 90% of my matches are shaman, warlock, hunter, and pirate warrior.
