I'm a fairly new player to HS and I just registered to the forums (read some stuff though). I quickly figured priest was the class for me and even without knowing it was "a thing" I went for Raza with DK Anduin (I crafted both of them just after the frozen throne was released).
I already had Lyra at that moment.
However with the current deck I almost feel it should (or could) do better then I'm doing now (currently rank 19 but struggeling to get higher). My deck is:
Priest
Highlander Priest Deck
by Cleef - Sep 10, 2017
I know there are 3 cards I have double so Raza might not be able to fire right away, but I have hardly found this is an issue. The idea behind the deck is to have DK Anduin + Raza or as an alternative win condition use Lyra with a big amount of spells (both Kalimos and servitude are there to (re-)pull Lyra, although not consistent ofcourse. The Ascendant is there to have a bit more "remove" options to buff your other minions or at the least pull away some fire from the opponent. The Acolyte also serves as a heal (although not consistent).
At the moment I have 400 dust, but I have no idea what to do next. I feel crafting the death knight and replace the ghoul would be a good step, but that will take some time before I'll be able to do it.
Any suggestions are more than welcome, thanks in advance for everybodies effort!
I believe your deck is missing out on an actual win condition. Like, you're not running Velen nor N'zoth, so your only hope of winning is to try to grind your opponent out in the long game where many mistakes can happen due to various reasons such as frustration. I strongly recommend you to try and grind enough dust for at least one win condition. Also, while you claim that running 2-ofs has not a been a big issue, take it from me, and cut them out ASAP. Another point is the lack of Kazakus which is actually a pretty damn huge deal itself, I don't think Raza itself merits running a whole deck of 1-ofs just so you can make your hero power cost 0. There's a reason they call this deck "Razakus Highlander Priest."
But at the end of the day, points for originality and trying to make ends meet as an F2P. I'm an F2P player myself and absolutely understand your concerns, but this was pretty much all the help I could offer at this point. Don't give up, try to make it happen!
From what I can see, you're missing some stuff (like Elise, and more importantly, Kazakus), but you could get away with playing something else in their place, not to the same effect ofc...if you're realistic in your expectations regarding ranking, it could work fine. While I could suggest some budget options; it would be better if you download Innkeeper and sync your card collection with it, so people can help you make a choice from cards you own.
Thanks for the feedback everybody. I feel crafting kazakus is a lot of dust for me (not even possible at the moment). Especially because he rotates out in about 6 months. I am pretty realistic about the deck and don't expect to be top legendary. I would like to hit lvl 10 at some point.
Some other feedback on the earlier mentioned comments (might have missed one or two sorry about that!)
Maybe this shouldn't have been called Highlander priest if that only applies to Raza + kazakus
I understand that Raza is a death hand card when you don't pull one of the duplicates but I have actually not seen that happening so often. I typically don't need to play him right away and can stay alive quite for some time.
The reason of the duplicates are mostly that I need a good low level remove (hence the 2x swp) to get back against agro/Hunter type of decks I would need enough elementals + reduced costs for your spells is great (2x radiant elemental) and the 2x visions saved me quite often cause I could get the remove (or restore) I needed.
I don't have medivh so can't add him.
I don't have doomsayer either but was thinking if he was good, together maybe with shadow word horror. I however feel the shadow word horror is in that sense bad because it also affects my own minions and so is doomsayer. I typically do have at least some minions on the board and sometimes win by board presence alone.
I have cabal shadow priest so might add her in instead of ghoul and I might also add the ooze. Have encountered some more weapons recently.
Stonehill defender and kalimos typically give you some bigger minions as well so that helps with the board control.
Innkeeper not possible at the moment because I'm not on a PC. But next to what I mentioned you can assume I don't have the minions.
Would still like to hear more of your advices and also especially if doomsayer and/or shadow worth horror would be good to use.
As a last thing to say I really appreciate the effort of everybody responding! I'm at the moment a bit stuck on the next move so this really helps.
- Happy Ghoul, Oracle, Kalimos, lightspawn, acolyte of agony, ascendant, servitude and all double cards. This deck about OP Raza+Anduin combo. you do not need another win condition. If you use some double cards it's yolo and you will loose some games coz of it. Some cards you want to add.
First, low cost draw - loot hoarder, gnomish inventor, novice engineer, You want Thalnos, but, i think, you don't have it your zealot should be fine.
2nd - some tech cards - silence and you can replace your mass dispell with kabal songstealer, You want more board clear, you can use 2 comboes - pint size potion+shadow word Horror or Auchenai soulpriest+circle of healing. Wild pyromancer for boardclear and for some draw tricks with acolyte and cleric. 1-5 tar creeper ok card vs agro. but you have 1-4 turtle, in typical razakus priest it's choise, but you can use both. Priest of the fiest for healing and Kabal talonprist for board in midgame. Ooze vs pirate war, 2mana ooze fine too.
3d - about legs, Velen really good card and it's helpful vs Jade, but you can play without him, if you use Geist, In that situation you must play more about board not about - all hero powers go face and then fast burst with Velen.
Elise - it's good but not important, it's like tech card vs control match ups, you can skip her.
Kazakus - really good card, very helpful vs agro and control. But you can play without him, but, i think, it's your next craft if you want play these deck.
Some tips: for muligun - try to get Raza or Anduin. It's important coz without them it's arena deck. 9 mana Statue not needed here you can change her for thoughtsteal or new 5 mana copy 3cards. It's complicated and not so good, but it's ok tech card vs control and some steam for Anduin free damage
Thanks for all of your comments. I made the following changes:
Removed the double minions/spells and removed ghoul and shadow assendant and mass disspell.
Added circle of healing + auchenai; silcence; cabal shadow priest; 2 mana ooze and loot hoarder
I'll let you know how this would work out. I might want to save my dust for velen or I was thinking the archbisshop (vs fatigue in mirror matches which happen sometimes).
I rather not craft things that will go out of rotation in 6 months.
Well thanks to all of you I have at least managed to get to lvl 15 thanks a lot!
Now I need a bit more help. I have almost 1600 dust to craft another legendary. I was thinking myself of maybe prophet velen or the archbishop or thalnos. I feel that the archbishop will be great in mirror matches and when facing fatigue but not played to early ofcourse. Velen for the extra damage or healing when necessary and thalnos would be a good 1 drop but I kinda feel he doesn't give me the big benefits of the other two.
Any advice? Thanks again! (I have the elementals in this deck so I can possibly pull another Lyra. It works quite well actually)
I don't want to craft any cards belonging to sets that would rotate out soon and I want to keep playing priest I like the class
iv played this deck to rank 4 this month. and ill push to legend with it. kazakas is a must. its so versatile and can win you games against agro. valen isnt a must but does help end the game. i also play to counter meta, ooz, doomsayer, golakka.
I'm a bit late to the party, but add more card draw.
Since you are missing key legendaries the deck is pretty much draw razza + DK or lose. So you want as many cards as possible to stall the game and draw into your deck to get your win condition.
Thanks again, so from the original deck there are some changes listed in post #9. So most people feel crafting kazakus is a must but I really don't want to spend another 1600 dust on a legendary that will rotate out met year. I already created Raza and that's enough. So than I'm thinking either velen or thalnos or the archbishop. I feel having velen will be the most versitale also when looking at the future, what does everybody think?
Raza rotates in 6 months as well, making the whole concept useless in Standard.
But Highlander Priest is top tier in Wild. If you perfect it with Kazakus (and Reno later), there you have a deck that you seem to like very much and that can bring you far.
And you can do that as F2P as well, if you just focus on it.
Wild is not as forbidding as it seems. It just needs wise crafting planning.
Still any suggestions are welcome. I could get rid of the elementals and add for example shadow songstealer, but I typically don't need another silence in the deck.
I don't have any dust left now, so not possible to make any more. I will need to learn how to play kazakus though, so that will take some time.
There is not much

You can't stop the signal.

This thread from reddit might motivate you...but it's aggro druid.
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/6wadf6/3104satoshi_hits_legend_with_f2p_account_in_17/#bottom-comments
but in my opinion if you short on dust, just craft aggro type deck.
Thanks for all of your comments. I made the following changes:
Removed the double minions/spells and removed ghoul and shadow assendant and mass disspell.

Alright. The arguments for kazakus made sense so I have just crafted him.Worst case scenario and I still will enjoy the deck for 6 months.
The entire deck now looks like this:
