I posted on the forums some times now. I'm an f2p player and I focus mostly on priest.
Now I had quite a nice highlander deck which I gotten to r5. Now I have changed the deck to include more removal and some dragons. It seems to be working fairly well so far and it is a lot of fun. I put the Gorgon in there because I got her and it's great synergies with duskbreaker the operative and ofc kazakus.
I find it highly unlikely that you're actually getting your dragon conditions to work given so few dragons in the deck. But i love the concept and hope you can refine it more so i can play it :)

Well I don't use them to play them on curve but more like combo pieces. Similar to circle of healing + shadow priest and pint sized potion + shadow word horror. There should be enough other control options to stall the enemy in the early game. Adding more than 1 dragon just gives a higher chance to use it.
@bickel I'll look at your list a bit more in depth, but I kind of like the deck to be a bit less focused on minions. I could however craft book wyrm and maybe replace my wild pyromancy or smth. Will need to think and test that though.
I'll see your Highlander Priest and raise you one The Darkness. Your play.
I mean is not like your chances of drawing the darkness are much bigger than the priest drawing raza, is literally the exact same chance and if you manage to do it before raza comes down I'll just wait to draw 2 of those candles and have my death on hand waiting for that delicious delicious darkness.

Darkness single handedly destroys highlander priests. You won't be able to Raza + Kaza. Sad day for priest mains.

Keleseth likes having minions to buff, and 1 mana minions feed the machine gun whilst being immune to geist.

That indeed makes sense, but I kind of like the ability to be able to have more removal at hand, maybe that's just preference though. However I notice you only have the acolyte/cleric and pws for draw. Wouldn't you typically want to draw your combo pieces quicker or do you have enough board control as it is to just "wait it out"?
I was now thinking of cutting the 4 mana draw a card battlecry for the book wyrm. Another dragon and another removal bu the trade-off is that I have less draw so would typically need to wait a bit longer. Maybe not the worst though.
Btw in your list you might want to think of the new 4/12 taunt dragon and/or ysera and maybe the gorgon? The Gorgon really works great for additional effects.

Curious what you think.
It's as much a Dragon Priest deck as it is Razakus. By playing Keleseth we cut ourselves off from the OTK burst of HP + Velen +HP + Mind Blast + HP, so we aren't relying on the machine gun as our only win condition, and we don't have to be in a hurry to draw into it. The Dragons win games by themselves. Especially buffed with Keleseth.
I think the deck has enough control/dragons, I'd take out Hoarding Dragon for The Darkness to help ensure you win against other Razakus Priests (shuffles duplicates into their deck so raza/kazakus won't work).
Hoarding Dragon would actually help your opponent more often than not unless they've got an empty hand.

Look at this thing and let me know what you think!
Huh I haven't read most of the comments to keep my post as original as possible so forgive me if I repeat what others have said.
Dragons are good because of their synergy. They can give players a lot of value for playing more dragons, and since Priest has a lot of dragon synergy cards, it used to be a meta deck. Now that cards such as hungry dragon, etc have left it has left the deck in a weird that it can reach legend but not in the same way. Your Kazakus should not be in this deck if your going to run dragons. Your Raza should also be removed. I used to be that f2p, that wanted all the legendaries for one class and then play them all in one deck, and I understand, it's a good idea but having no duplicates leaves you with a small amount of dragons which leads to less synergy. If you want the legendaries, then I'd say run a different deck. You might win in the beginning and I'm surprised you've got to r5 with this deck, kuttos for that, but I doubt you can go any higher.
Thats my opinion, if you've got a counter go ahead, I can always be flawed.
hey I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to run dragon decks with no duplicates is a bad idea. I"m not insulting you, you might be better than me in every way, but I've played a lot of Priest so just giving my 2 cents. Highlander + Dragon = Not that good.
Wow there went my long reply with some bug in the forum on mobile. Anyway I 'll try to say the most important things:
I changed the deck in my start post. Holy fire hone fir binding heal. (Paired with the shadow priest it can still deal 5 damage and else it is a nice low mana heal and pairs with void form and pyromancer.
Also added twilight Drake dragon for the 4 mana draw a card. For the dragon synergie.
I didn't get to r5 with this deck (hope that would be possible later though) but with the previous regular highlander version (second month after ft expansion hit).
Anyway I don't know why a 'dragon package' wouldn't be just as possible as the pirate package. I see it more of adding a couple of card that can be amazing when the combo hits and otherwise they will be vanilla minions with the dragon tag. Not so bad I would say. It depends what you have to give up and what kind of choices you need to make because of this.
I also see it along the line of the swh + pint sized potion or the shadow priest with circle of healing. That is something used in priest anyway if you have enough other counters than I don't see an issue if you can wait with playing them.
This is my last game in which you can see what I mean a bit. (It takes a long time sorry for that) (obviously im also by far the best player so probably made enough misplayes. If you see any please point them out to me.
I am using this nearly all minion deck with the pirate package and corridor creaper, it is doing quite well. If you are facing a lot of zoo, you can tech a dragonfire potion in for the coin gargoyle.

I eat Kingsbane rogues for breakfast.

This is my list that i theorycrafted awhile back. Looks similar to your list tbh xD.

This is literally a discussion about a highlander dragon deck.
Highlander decks can be good because with a large enough card pool you can run two cards with similar effects to counteract the lack of duplicates.
You used to be that f2p that wanted all the legendaries in a deck. I didn't, and it's insulting of you to project your past mistakes onto others.
If you want to rudely assume people are as bad as you are, then I'd say find a different thread.

Sorry if I sounded rude though, not my intention.
If this is a Highlander priest deck... WHERE IS TEMPOROUS?!? :D

I thought dragon razakus would be very powerful this expansion but I'm realizing that straight up razakus is just better.
