As we all know, BRM is about to rotate out of Standard. That will pretty much kill the Dragon archetype , as cards such as Twilight Welp, Corruptor and so on, will go to wild only. As a priest lover myself, i'd like to know if there's anything viable atm, or should i just wait to Jorney to Un'goro to be released?
That depends on what you mean by viable. Reno Priests are decent, just not as good as mage. There are a few OTK combo priest decks that work decently and are a fair bit of fun, just not consistent enough for advancing a long way up the ladder.

Judging by the quest card, probably deathrattle priest will be pushed? Other than stockpiling gold and dust not much to go on for speculating when it comes to decks which revolve around cards that will rotate out.
Reno Priest is worse than Reno Mage, but it is still a solid deck and has many fun ways you can actually build it. It is one of the only ladder viable decks that I've actually enjoyed playing. Can be built in a variety of ways, including Shadowform, Dragons, or with a Velen combo (similar playstyle to Renolock's Leeroy/PO/Faceless list). C'Thun and N'Zoth iterations are also possible, and even though I haven't experimented with these lists as much, they can't be the worst.
highlander shadowform priest will still probably be good. This is the deck i'm running, Reno loss will hurt, but priest still has healing options with Greater Healing Potion, Darkshire Alchemist, Cult Apothecary and of course Amara, Warden of Hope. The inspire cards can easily be replaced and just maybe some taunts to control the early game since shadowform is your win condition vs control.
Depends on what you mean by "viable". I've taken a silence priest (yes, with purify) to rank 10 a few months back, but you really need to understand the decks you are playing against to get your wins.

Quit complaining and just have fun with this game!
With the new Priest Quest it seems like blizzard is pushing N'Zoth Priest for Un'goro. I'm not entirely sure that will go over well since N'Zoths is too slow against aggro and out valued by jade.
With much fewer dragons, Dragon Priest as we know it will be dead, but cards like Drakonid Operative can still be worked into control decks. I've been playing a Wild Thiefduin deck lately and can still regularly activate Dr OP even though the only other dragons in the deck are 2 Azure Drakes and Chromaggus.
It looks like whatever Priest archetypes exist in the next rotation will be heavily dependant on what new cards are released. We will probably see some sort of HighlAnduin deck try to make it without Reno, Amara/N'Zoth Priest and maybe a more Classic Control Priest.
There's only one day left in the season and only a week to Un'Goro release so it's kind of weird timing to ask now....
I've created the post a while back, but ok XD
Anyways, Un'goro is almost here now, and i think priest is not going to do too hot, i mean having a super Reno effect is cool and all, but not that game winning... i think i'll stick with mage this expac, and see if any good priest deck will emerge...
I hit rank 13 last month with a non-dragon Reno Priest. i mean, it had SOME dragons in it (Azure Drake, e.g.) but it wasn't a "dragon" playstyle. It was a control deck designed to outlast. It was super topheavy and full of taunts and heals. It worked great against pirate warrior but almost always lost to Jade Druid. Worked fine against Jade Shaman.
I hit 500 wins with it and am now so sick of priest I don't ever want to play priest again, so I deleted the deck.

Right now you can play Reno priest or inspire priest (You'll probably need Raza the Chained to make the most out of it)

Achieved Gold Priest- April 2017
I'm really enjoying Djinni Priest, although it's not getting me up the ladder particularly fast.
That's Incredible!
I played this to get 500 wins with priest
I don't have the decent dragon cards but did get Confessor P and Y'Shaarj from packs.
Best rank was rank 9 in October I think. When I have a priest quest I play it and it still does OK.

Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
Djiini Priest, but only for a short time... in April, then go with N'Zoth
No. I beat them all.
