Hi. Priest is my least played class and not very good right now. I wanted to build a priest deck for quests, that is also competitive. I didn't liked any of current priest decks, so I decided to make my own deck. I wondered, why almost nobody plays dragon priest, so I started with that. I combined it with few deathrattles and Nzoth to have better game against controls. I shown my first list to a friend, who has golden priest and he suggested me some changes. I liked them.
What do you think about this deck and card choices? Entomb/sw:d numbers are debatable if 1-2 or 2-1, I definitely have enough late game with entombs ysera chillmaw Nzoth sylvanas and possibly curators. I'm not sure if I have enough early game, but I tried to make it minion based with dragon synergy, because priest don't have much good not situational early drops. The dragon early game is situational too, but with buff it's good stats for the cost.
I tested 5 ranked games with it (rank 10 start rank 8 end) and got 5-0 score with it. I was lucky in some fights. Beat miracle rogue, monkey control priest, midrange hunter, zoo and cthun+Nzoth priest.
Edit: It's standard deck (for Lisek11) Also 5 games is a small sample, but I like that this can work, will try more games to see, if it can have some nice winrate. I could level priest a few levels and I want to get to rank 5 (I can change deck, if this stop working) I fear aggro shaman/zoo will be a problem.
It goes through patches of doing really well (vs Hunter), then either the meta speeds up or all the 1 and 2 drops decide to spend the week having a party at the bottom of the deck and I get long losing streaks.
I think your curators might be better than my clerics though.
Our decks are similar, actually it's just you have 2 more big dragons for lategame, clerics and 1 entomb/2 sw:d. I have the curators instead of clerics, that help a lot with lategame Nzoth plan and can grab nice things like dragonlord or chillmaw for lategame against slow decks. I also have loot hoarder+another shade instead of the 2 big dragons to survive better early against fast decks. I went against control decks with 2 entombs and 1 sw:d over another 2 big dragons. Sometimes I draw unlucky combination of technicians/agents etc with no dragons, so I always try to keep some dragon in opening hand (even more expensive) if I have dragon synergy cards in hand.
I like the deck against hunter, control decks with no OTK combo finisher and slower midrange decks. I didn't tested it much, did 13 games in ranked ending 11-2 from rank 10 to rank 6 losing to tempo mage and dragon warrior. He got alex champion into faerie dragon vs my slower start and then got ragnaros then double 9/9 crushers topdecks. I'll try to go with this version to rank 5, as it seems to work right now (Or I'm really lucky) I think entombs curators and 4 legends are enough against control, so I won't add any more big dragons. Against zoo/aggro shaman I need good early game hand to win against them. I don't really like clerics in current meta, because on turn 1 they just get killed by alex champion totem golem flame imp war axe wrath etc. And for later game it's usually 1 card draw and they remove it after. I like the curator giving me options and makes Nzoth even better. Also can find dragon activator if I'm lucky to see dragonlord/chillmaw from him.
I think that Deathwing Dragonlord is necessary. There are two Dragons with Deathrattle, and a Dragon/N'Zoth deck really needs them both. I Ysera works well to be pulled into play by Deathwing. Nefarian I might cut; he's battlecry is wasted if he's played by Deathwing, and often I need to play a threat AND heal by the late game. Might cut him for a smaller dragon.

This is what I've been using
