Even then, but I quite doubt so, have you thought about Priest in Wild?

I mean, not so great cards in Standard (apparently) are nuts in Wild. If I were a Priest Player, I would definitely accept the trade.

I don't see a very bright future with this expansion for Priest; but I did try to make use of the new cards and make a deck with a win condition. What do you guys think? Do you want to help me create a decent deck without focussing on the new quest?

Trump is bad,and he was wrong for a lot of things in the past.Why wouldnt he now?

So, I just recently thought up of kind of a combo deck...and it may not be what you expect.

Obviously, highly experimental, and will need quite a bit of playtesting. Any thoughts on how to make it better?

They killed dragon priest and didn't do much to give priest a competitive replacement.  Reno priest got hit pretty hard too.  I hate the 2/6 deathrattle taunt minion.  The quest is going to be good at some time during it's 2 year run in standard.  That time isn't now. 

I think quest/Reno/N'zoth priest will be bonkers in wild though.  I may have to build my first wild deck.

Tnxs for the response!
The win condition is mentioned in the deck explanation. It is indeed the old Divine Spirit Inner Fire combo. Not just on Ozruk, but on many other Elementals with high health. Shadow Visions can help piece together a bigger or faster combo. And Elementals might curve out OK so you can stick on the board. 

As mentioned in the deck description; most likely not a great deck, but I hope to get to some form of decent deck with some help of the community without using the quest. You might be right that it won't work, but I would like to try and prove otherwise.   :)

I was looking at something like this.

Win condition is DS/IF and/or Mind Blast. Shadow Visions provides either a 3rd Mind Blast or a 3rd DS. There are twelve spells, so you've got a pretty good chance of hitting on DS or MB at least once. With 3 DS, a 2 health minion becomes 16 damage. Anything over 4 health is OTK. If the DS/IF doesn't quite do it, you've got MB to finish off the game. Even if you don't have the board, you could use a combination of Pint-Size potion and Potion of Madness to take anything up to an attack of 5 from your opponents board to buff.

Multiple taunts, and big adapt boards are bypassed with Mass Dispel.
Stall the game with taunts, healing and Priest of the feast.
Cycle with Horder, Cleric, Inventor.
Radiant Elmental to provide a spell cost reduction. Most of these spells are cheap anyway so that inclusion may not be needed.
Kabal buffs your taunts or your Lightspawn/Lightwell.
I'd love to include more spells (SW:P, SW:D, PW:S, HN) but I don't want to dilute my Shadow Visions too much.

There are probably ways to make this better so I'd love to hear your suggestions.

Why don't we wait for the actual good players to make their assessments and decks? Trump has rarely been right about any major predictions, so let's leave this up to the professionals.

ITT : I disagree with Trump ergo he's a trash player.

I'm thinking Elemental Priest is looking to be very good against aggro with godlike early game in Radiant Elemental + PW:Shield / Potion of Madness into Kabal Talonpriest / Tar Creeper + Tol'vir Stoneshaper

Against control, Elise the Trailblazer + Shadow Visions can generate a lot of value. In this regard, the new Legendary isn't too bad neither, since you're supposed to control the board on turn 5, you may actually drop it as is behind a few Taunts and have it survive.

Jade, though, is a huge pain

The problem with priest as I see it is that it's hamstrung by it's need for very specific combinations to do things.  Need reliable early game card draw?  Northshire is brilliant when it works and garbage when it doesn't....Need a reliable board clear?   Before Dragonfire Potion you were stuck with Auchenai > Circle of Healing.  The nature of the class is not reliable.  

Why is the assumption that Priest will have two archetype options (N'Zoth and Tempo) both of which will be bad?  Why isn't it possible that one of these will be decent, or that some other Priest archetype will emerge?

 You need more 2 drops, you are gonna use the quest in turn 1 so. In turn 2 you plain on do doble 1-drop? because loot hoarder is horribly on tempo. And doing so is very unrealaible because you have only four 1-drop.  Turn 3 is also a slow turn for you because you can only play Humoungus razorleaf and you can only combo with silence or wait to turn 5 for Kabal songstealer. And in turn 4 you also have a weak turn because all your 4-drops are slow. And an inner fire and divine spirit combo is not a good win condition, because there gonna be dead draws when you gonna need answers to stop the aggro and you preety much only have "shadow word: pain" and "dragon fire potion"(who in my opinion is gonna be to late when you can cast it).

Im with trump dat there's no gonna be a tier 1 or 2 priest deck. But you can try to make a deck just to counter an expecific tier-1 deck

Quote from sand_puppy >>

"trump is wrong" is something we can always say with absolute confidence these days :)

there should be no need for a spell/deathrattle priest in standard.

silence priest gets Humongous Razorleaf which will be incredibly strong in that deck. getting some big health minions on board early and taunting them up will be even better if he is right and the 1-drop swarming quest-hunter is all over the ladder.

silence will be a perfect counter to the adapt-heavy decks too, so much that even Mass Dispel might be worth running.

Mirage Caller might be an option for the silence deck and Shadow Visions gets you another silence or Inner Fire/Divine Spirit quickly

 

 

 

I'm kinda dissapointed with Trumps review for Priest. I made a deck for new meta.

Fell free to comment about my deck

Gonna play test a reno priest in standard. Might post up result and list later

I see a lot of priests with quest and N'Zoth, the mini Herald is pretty good.

I can win with mage quest or tempo mage, Primordial Glyph is so broken make tempo version possible, but is a tough match.

What I cannot win with mage is new hunter.

Trump was right Priest is trash.  Too slow for aggro not enough answers for Control.
