I would link to the deck, but I can't remember who's it is. Spent a little while trying to find it, but no avail. The deck is attached as an image.
My biggest issues I seem to have, is that when the card draw is good, it's crazy. I can have someone finished by turn 6. But if I somehow don't get any 1-2 cost minions to drop, no dragons, or the board keeps getting cleared. By turn 6 my tempo is gone. And I really have no idea how to recover.
I am floating around Rank 10-14, and I can't seem to get over that hurdle to continue ranking higher. The deck does okay with most types, outside of Patron or some of the facedecks you keep seeing popping up, if I don't have the taunts to deal with the early aggression.
So my actual questions:
How do you deal with bad card draw?
How do you recover after a massive board clear?
How can you keep up with a lot of those aggro decks? (Secret Pally, Facehunter, and the occasional aggro mech mage
Yep totally agree with the above poster. Power Word: Shield. I don't run 2 lightbombs, but I feel like you need at the very minimum 1 so that you can recover board control after turn 6.
2x Power Word: Shield(You should cut a card for the second one for sure), 2x Azure Drake and Ysera is quite alright I think. Although I use 2x Lightbomb in my dragon Priest which let you play alot more conservative and card draw is less needed.
I've never played with Lightbomb, maybe I am a bit silly. But reading about it, it does seem like a great option to get back into the meta if the opponent has board control. What should I look at removing from the deck to use it?

I feel the same - 2 would be overkill, I think if you did a big clear on turn 6+ - the opponent would be struggling for a card draw as much I would be.
I can't figure out Dragon Priest either.. my win rate is so low, and I have a pretty standard deck that I'm running. I enjoy and climb way, way better with combo druid and tempo mage. Don't have any other viable decks, but I'm sure I'd do well with Demon Handlock too.

Alex, 2x Twilight Drakes are a start.
Shaku, the Collector gave me the Plague
Ok - editing out those 3 cards. I think that 1 Lightbomb would be enough, suggestions for the last card?

This is my current Dragon Priest. Take from it what you will:
Take out Alex and x2 Twilight drakes and include PW: Shield, x1 Dragonkin Sorcerer and Vol'jin (if you don't have him Dr. Boom)...
I never actually had a massive board clear because of PW and VC. Try not to go all in and have a backup in case of a board clear...

Chillmaw is love.
Lightbomb is a really good catch-up card, would probably be good in your deck, it would help you deal with a bad draw.
Just make sure your not playing any more minions than you need to so you have good recovery.
I'd recommend watching a video of Kolento or Zetalot playing dragon priest.
