Alright...now to explain this beast. Basically, I got tired of losing to mindless face decks and built this to counter them. Tests pretty well so far, made a few people rage at me due to losing to the "worst class in the game". This is a control deck's dream and for it to work, you need to be patient. Extremely patient. The goal is simple, outlast your opponents! You can ignore most 1 and 2 drops because they won't have more than 2 attack, which you can simply hero power to heal through it. when facing off against aggro decks (hunter, shaman, dragon warrior, tempo mage, etc.) try to get to your board clears and your shadow cards as they'll be vital in fending off the opposition. Power word: Glory deserves special recognition because it deals with those pesky 4 attack minions, but more than that, it can also render a 6 attack minion useless as long as you hero power your face every turn. Forbidden Shaping is here in duplicate to establish some form of presence on board and is ideally used on 8 mana.
Reno Jackson looks absolutely horrid in this list, but in a drag-out game where resources are spent, Reno pulls through in clutch situations (always late game!) where the opponent may see a glimmer of hope in breaking the wall of heals. Mind Control Tech is best used after your opponent's minion/minions have been tagged with power:word glory so that you can heal your face. The rest of the deck is pretty self-explanatory, but I welcome any questions or comments you guys may have!
Thanks for the feedback! Proud to say that I beat a fatigue warrior with this list! He sent me a friend request and raged at me for around 15 minutes before giving up in despair, hahaha!
Is WR my win record? Today, I'm around 6-2 with the deck, I believe. If not, then sorry, I don't know the term. As of now, I'm at rank 15. Priest of the Feast didn't make the cut because I want to try to keep the number of minions at a minimum to escape the jaws of feared cards such as Hex and Polymorph. PotF is a kind of taunt in that if the opponent sees it, they're gunning for it immediately. In addition, there's enough heals in the deck that PotF isn't needed.

But surely them targetting your 4 mana drop with a hex/poly etc is a hell of alot better, than them still holding onto it, and removing something you spend 10mana to take. If you got no targets worth removing then the mind controls seem like huge tempo losses. I will try this and maybe something similar if i have time, probably Tournament medics out in exchange for PotF.
regarding things like polymorph or hex, I have targets which are taken with MCT, soulpriest, darkshire alchemists. The deck has minions, often not my own ones :)
Replaced 2nd power word glory for elise. Way more effective!!! Beats fatigue warrior. Surprisingly though this deck loses to priest more often than not. I can say as it stands now against this current meta this deck is really effective granted you draw well. Ill be experimenting more with this so look out for future updates (I wont include kaz cards as I don't have the expansion yet)

Death to aggro, glory to Priests!
As a main priest player i will be testing this out and if it works, as it looks like, you sir are a genius. Let us keep playing Priest until we die
DEATH TO AGGRO,GLORY TO PRIEST!!!
PS: You should post this deck here to get more attention and opnions, keep thegreat work mate
Main priest and hate aggro

seems interesting, what is your WR so far? and how far on ladder did you climb with this deck?
And no Priest of the Feast - best healing minion for Priest?

21 spells? man.. with all of that i'd have to consider yogg.. and arcane giants...
What is Priest may never rank, but rises in Casual and Tavern Brawl.
Just tested this with a few tweaks of my own:
I replaced 1x power word glory 1x mind control 1x holy fire and 1x forbidden shaping with:
1x embrace the shadow
justicar trueheart
ragnaros
alexstraza
Just beat zoolock and aggro warrior with insane ease. Not a bad deck if you draw well. Lack of draw is only downside, but 2-0 works for me haha
UPDATE: This deck just beat C'thun Druid with virtually no difficulty! Props Ragneto. All that stress dealing with agro decks finally paid off haha
Double mind control in standard? I'll be curious to see your win rates Hehe. Keep us posted!

Reno Jackson in a deck full of duplicates seems like a bad idea.
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.
