I would like to know your expiriance about matchup like in title.
I ask becouse I have less then 30% win ratio against this shit. If I build some board round 6 thye always play shit reno (10 dmg) ok lets go further drop some minione kill reno turn 7 Dragoncaster + Power of Creation u can swap turn 6 into 7 depend of my board. Usually they got Evasive Wyrm or charge 5/2 if I can manage this first option ofc much more problem due to no target, at trun 9 Dragonqueen Alexstrasza do You expiriance so shit matchup like my was or im just so unlucky?
They're a control deck, so it depends what you're playing. You said you go wide for 6... There's your first mistake... Frost Nova, Blizzard, Reno... if you can't swarm them by 5, You need to play conservatively and draw our their cleats and stalls... If you play out your hand by 6, you're probably losing. What deck are you playing?
No no Im not out of hand is turn 6 just drop e.g. Shield of Galakrond but he still can use reno and clear board + keep body on board. So i can use my hard removal Time Rip but its not build any tempo so he build his advantage throwing 4/4 and free spell

Yeah, Highlander Mage is a pretty hard counter to Priest, so I'm not sure what you can do. I don't play Priest, and I've won basically every game I've played as Mage vs Priest, so I'm not even sure what you can do... Most decks have a hard counter... That's yours.
Galakrond Priest is slightly unfavored and games can take you all they way into fatigue. It's important to get value out of all your cards, don't overplay and respect your removals. It also helps if you Thoughtsteal Reno or some removals.
It is a bad matchup as mentioned above, but still you can try some fun/cool RNG-heavy stuff: Thoughtsteal their Reno or a Puzzle Box Play Murozond after they cast a Puzzle Box (especially if they also played Dragoncaster or Kalecgos before it)
Go for turn 6 Dragoncaster into Box or Power of Creation. Turn 8 Power of Creation with Khadghar should work to. Other than that you are entering a value game, which you most likely won't win, because they GENERATE cards for free, while you only DRAW them from your deck.
Vs Rogues I used to hard mulligan for Dragoncaster and keep the two aforementioned spells too. The only way to win most likely.
I started last season with Highlander mage. I don't think my games against priest went that great, but my luck with rng and the box was also not great. I even lost a game once because my Solarian Prime Conjurer's Calling my opponent's minion and gave him 2 worse minions for me to deal with. I was losing a lot of games to Galakrond Rogue so I switched to Gala Rogue and climbed to Diamond 3 with it. I checked my stats and I never lost a game to mage. Maybe try Rogue.

ofc they have many other ranom plays like Tortollan Pilgrim -> Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron followup with Kalecgos
This isn't just complaining post just want to know if there are some strategy. Maybe they just all time luck with hand like I describe abov.
Greetings

Ok thanks for answer. I calmed down that its just unfavored

EDIT: Reno and DQ Alex are cards to keep as well.
I played the matchup on the priest side and I usually win with luck. The matchup feels unfavored as priest
I'll sum it up otherwise - priest needs a favorable RNG playing against the casino.
Since rotation I won more than I lost with priest, though really not by much, and I gotta say - this is not a fun match.

Highlander mage and %60 chance > all galakrond
