I think Dragon Priest is in wait and see mode for a replacement for Velen's Chosen. You really need to buff all those 2 and 3 attack minions.
Losing Velen's Chosen hurts. Dark Cultist would be a replacement, but we're losing that too.
You can still play Brann in the 3-slot, not qute the same but he's a lightning rod for removals and as long as he's around, a lot of your cards come on the board buffed. Coining out a Blackwing Corruptor after T3 Bran is also really strong.
The best would be if any of the yet unreleased Priest cards was a minion buff.
I think the new herald voljaz card might be interesting with dragon priest. Assuming a fairly top heavy control version, could cheat out ysera/malygos/chillmaw etc with death wing and then make 1/1 copies. An extra dream card/taunt is always value and it'd be hard to board clear your 1/1s and deal with the big dragons. Also means if your death wing gets silenced can make a 1/1 copy and cheese out the effect as well. Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic though.
Dragon Priest is shaping to be a good deck in Standard already, and I dont think they will run the new deathwing. Ysera and nefarian (as a budget option) are probably better for their game plan, simply because playing all of your dragons at once is risky, and if you're at a point in the game where your opponent really cant do anything about it, maybe you were already winning in the first place.
