I've been lurking for a while but recently been getting more involved since Old Gods and Karazhan. Despite the community's regard toward the Priest class, I decided to try some different ideas. I brought the list to the Priest sub-forum, but haven't seen many responses. Most people when they post a list seem to have the exact same thing: really greedy late game with a bunch of board wipes and thinking, "I really hope this works!" I've been experimenting with the idea of turning some of Priest's spells into tokens, which lead to making use of the new PotF. I've been trying out the buff thing with varying degrees of success. I feel the cards are a bit underused, but as well under-supported by Blizzard. Anyway, here's the list.
I applaud the effort and it has potential. Not sure how it will work on ladder at the moment but by all means give it a try. What's the win condition? Just nzoth? There are barely any death rattle minions though? Does he need to be in there? Just curious.
I've tried something in a similar style, I used nerubian prophets to drop something really good at turn 3.
The main problem I see there is that shifting shade has very poor stats, even if it synergyses with nzoth. So, I am confident to bet that on turn 4 you will lose your board if you drop a shade.
I am a big fan of Earthen Ring in Priest (wait, that's not a rogue card? Kappa ). He's very versatile. Helps you stay on the board. I might take this list for a spin, minus Yogg. Nice work!

Troll aside, the idea is good, but it lacks win conditions. I would scrap both inner fire and Divine spirit for Sylvanas. N'Zoth without Sylvanas is unthinkable, Sylvanas is the sole reason N'Zoth actually work beside it slowish style, and is arguably the best Priest available legendary, plus at least one Excavated Evil (Shaman slaughterer, unlike Nova) and a least one bonus Deathrattle beside Sylvanas (Cairnes, ...)

So, the idea of my deck is to take over the board with tokens and minions, and steal your opponent's win condition with either Entomb or the Thoughtsteal support. I thought about Sylvanas as well, and I might have to try and squeeze her in a slot somewhere. I might have to cut Divine Spirit. The Inner Fire seems like a big meme, but it's actually useful for trading up and trading down. All the Thoughtsteal really helps with finding more spell triggers. Entomb steals the opponents C'Thun or Rag. Does best against warrior and mage. Does worst against zoo. I ended up putting the deck on ice right now. Maybe I'll revisit it later. I really like the idea of Violet teacher, but it might actually be its downfall as well. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Any thoughts? Does my "take the board" playstyle idea have any merit? Ben Brode seems to think so (maybe the last part is sarcasm, but then again...)!
NA golden heroes: Hunter, and Rogue! Let's try for Paladin next!

I win due to skill and lose due to bad RNG. :D
