Played through Blackrock Mountain Adventure today, and oh boy, do I love those cards! It's my third adventure--only been playing for a couple of months--and I love how these adventures open up Wild to new players. Was a toss up whether to go for One Night with Barnes, as I recently obtained Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound after purchasing 7 packs of each old set for legends. Glad I opted for dragons. Dragons are awesome. I also cracked a pair of Duskbreakers recently too, so I'm all set to rock!
Mucking around with Wild (Everyfin is Awesom Murlocs, Reno Highlander, Terribly attempt at C'thun, cheap sorta-Jade ramp) I usually win as often as I lose, hovering around rank 20/19. Well, after a few games of up and down, getting a feel for this build and tweaking it slightly (poor Cobalt Scalebane) I went on a winning streak up to the verge of rank 16 before a loss. Pretty happy with that! The non-Blackrock stuff are all cards I've collected (nice to finally put my DK and Prophet into an effective deck!). I don't like crafting willy nilly, but interested to see if folks think there's any chance something like this could rank close to legend.
Initially I thought about dropping the whelps and technicians to add more spells and increase the value of the spellstones, but the tempo feels really good, and I'm not sure if it is worth it.Games usually start with a bit of trading, then a wipe from the Duskbreakers, then onto the bigger stuff!
Emperor Thaurissan is the bomb, love throwing him out on curve. He usually dies, if that happens, but man he helps! Chromaggus is a legend, and seems to always ensure I end up with 2x Shadowreaper Anduins in my hand. I actually wonder if he is worth keeping, but it seems to help out a lot when I'm up against other priests.
Just realised that, outside of Blackrock, I've only used standard cards. I may also pop in Troggzor the Earthinator. I know he doesn't get much love, but he was insane to use during the adventure!

Hi,
try Drakonid Operative, such a strong card/tempo play. Try Cabal shadowpriest with acolyte cutting mind control, it's stronger than mind control alone

Cheers Then3lli!
I've actually got one Cabal Shadow Priest in my collection. I put it in at first, then took it out to make room. On paper it seems to have amazing synergy with Twilight Acolyte, but I never seem to be able to pull it off. Only having one of each may be a problem.
Drakonid Operative does look amazing, 5/6 for 5 is great, and that battlecry is some nice icing! Probably a safe craft too, as I can't see myself purchasing any more Mean Streets packs!
Deck looks good but i don‘t believe in thaurissan, chromaggus and nefarian. They might be too slow to climb. Maybe thaurissan is ok to increase your cost of cards a little bit (because he usually dies next turn).
Check out my dragon priest deck which helped me to climb to 15 and some times to 13 ;)
It‘s more expensive, yes. But you don‘t have to take all legendaries of course.

Cabal Shadow Priest is a counter this meta card, if you are facing a lot of big deck (big priest, big hunter and such) you should use her. Otherwise, just go full tempo because she is more control oriented. Why not try spiteful priest deck? You could use a lot of dragons and cool legendaries, only 4 spells (200 dust :) ) and 2 Spiteful Summoner (really good card played in Tempo). Doing this mean that you should cut your other spells, mainting only these 2 spells : Mind Control & Free From Amber.
Speaking about your deck, spirit lash is pretty useless if you want a good tempo play, try Netherspire historian. Rend Blackhand? Don't like this one, it seems that you are putting random cool cards. It's ok, it's cool to see something new, but you should try to make a game plan when you are deckbuilding. Tempo? Control? Aggro? Combo?
Your deck is a midrange, as i can see, with a balanced mana play.
Just personal advices as old Spiteful Priest player

Ah, I don't think I'll go highlander. Lots of cards in your deck that I don't have! Ysera would be an awesome end-game for any dragon deck. How do you find the Dragonfire Potion? It might be a good craft option for me, but I'd imagine it would suck when going up against another dragon deck!

I think my deck's goal is to be dragons! Haha!I think as an old MtG player I always try to keep decent tempo. I'm not much into control, but I understand this deck, and dragons, thrive in the late-game. I also know there are some way more powerful late game decks. I want to keep pressure building, then strike with big dragons. It has been playing pretty slow, however.
Netherspite Historian will definitely find a home in the deck after I buy my final adventure! So far, I've found Rend Blackhand pretty useful. Yeah, he can't murder any minion, but he's snapped a couple of Lich Kings for me! I personally think his great, and I'm yet to go up against someone in Wild who hasn't played a legend! If I later find him sitting in my hand, not being played, I might drop him.
I think I've been including Spirit Lash as my only decent standard deck is Odd Paladin. I'm terrified of that card! But yes, it sits in my hand, not being used. An easy drop!

Consider that: You don't need to win against everyone, you need to win against a great part of meta decks... Also, Velen is good if you are playing a control deck, but with a 1 spirit lash is pretty useless. Also, shadow reaper anduin is not good because you literally kill your own minion.
Take my recommendations with a grain of salt. I am a Standard player who played through the eras when those cards were baller. I do NOT play much Wild.

I had a pretty interesting Velen combo earlier: Emperor Thaurissan >> NEXT TURN >> Prophet Velen >> Holy Nova Literally swung the game right around! But yes, spirit lash and DK, and possibly even Velen, might not be the best choices.
I like what I'm seeing in that deck! Is Shadow Ascendant worth it without protective taunts? I've got a couple already, but every time I've used them, they die before they can be too effective. Also, Kabal Talonpriest, are they mainly for Tempo, or are they pretty good at keeping our buddies alive? Would definitely give more presence early game.

Shadow Ascendant is pretty good if someone doenst have a removal, if you have luck you play your Whelp at turn 1 and she at turn 2, making a great tempo play. It's pretty good, try her. Kabal Talonpriest is by far one of the best tempo play for a deck like this, imagine to put duskbreaker 1 turn later without losing all of your minions. Really really good because he ensure you efficient trade.
Everyone here is commenting some great stuff so you have some great material, only thing I'd hammer in is Drakonoid Operative, which is possibly one of the strongest cards in Hearthstone. If you're playing a dragon deck you owe it yourself to include it as its like old Steve Nash: it makes everyone around it better.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
Did some tweaks, but, oddly enough, have gone back to a win/loss/win/loss set of matchups. Guessing my original run probably included some favourable matchups! Shadow Ascendant hasn't really worked the best for me. If opponent is more aggro, running smoother tempo, or control, it just feels like a dead card. It might be better if I used more smaller minions, like Netherspite Historian, but I'm not yet ready to buy that adventure or throw 70 dust into the wind just to trial her.
I did end up dropping Shadowreaper Anduin and Prophet Velen. Despite being amazing cards, that I just can't seem to find a home for, the other top end stuff feels more effective. If I find myself in a meta-bubble constantly outplayed and stuck against controlled boards of high-powered minions, I'll gladly bring my DK back.
Also, what's the value of crafting Scaled Nightmare? Does it work alright? Is it too slow? Does it see much use in other decks? I remember reading that it can be useful for a Lich King (PvE) combo, and feel it would slot nicely into wild dragons. Just want to know if I'm looking at it with rose-tinted glasses. It is, after all, an epic.

In regards to this, would I be better off crafting a second Twilight Acolyte and possibly even Cabal Shadow Priest. I'm not really keen on crafting another Cabal Shadow Priest, as I'll probably crack one in my next classic pack. Twilight Acolyte is safe: I can't see myself spending coins on any more K&C packs.

Scaled Nightmare is too slow and you don't use it like a combo... pretty useless. Yea, twilight acolyte could help you a lot against big minions, i think is perfect. Netherspire historian is VERY important, but i only used her n standard, i don't really know how can she be great... In standard i remember i discovered everytime Drakonid Operative and dusk breaker, making insane tempo play. In wild i don't know, there is a lot of dragons
Well first u should take out the bad cards: Nefarian, Chromaggus, Rend, Hungry, Volcanic, Spellstone (this cant is not good for a dragon deck). I dont see any use for Emperor, Velen, Crushers, Nova, Mind Control. U are missing some of the best wild dragon cards. Making a midrange dragon is the best way to go i think. I would make it like this:

Yeah, I've found I'm getting annihilated a lot in the late game. It seems my opponent is aggro and runs out of steam, after which my bigger dragons steamroll. That, or my opponent plays for the end-game into Shudderwock, N'zoth, DK Jaina/Rexxar/Gul'dan, or some other super card/combo that can't really be stopped once it's rolling. Kinda sucks, I really wanted these dragons to work!
I think I definitely need to tone it back a notch and play more for the early/mid-game. Cheers for sharing what you're using.
Hey, I've played almost exclusively Priest since launch, and dragon priest was my favorite deck for a long time. Here's the version I'm currently using. It leans a bit more control, and none of the legendaries are must-haves, but the rest is a solid core to build on.
Played through Blackrock Mountain Adventure today, and oh boy, do I love those cards! It's my third adventure--only been playing for a couple of months--and I love how these adventures open up Wild to new players. Was a toss up whether to go for One Night with Barnes, as I recently obtained Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound after purchasing 7 packs of each old set for legends. Glad I opted for dragons. Dragons are awesome. I also cracked a pair of Duskbreakers recently too, so I'm all set to rock!
Here's the deck I put together:
Mucking around with Wild (Everyfin is Awesom Murlocs, Reno Highlander, Terribly attempt at C'thun, cheap sorta-Jade ramp) I usually win as often as I lose, hovering around rank 20/19. Well, after a few games of up and down, getting a feel for this build and tweaking it slightly (poor Cobalt Scalebane) I went on a winning streak up to the verge of rank 16 before a loss. Pretty happy with that! The non-Blackrock stuff are all cards I've collected (nice to finally put my DK and Prophet into an effective deck!). I don't like crafting willy nilly, but interested to see if folks think there's any chance something like this could rank close to legend.
Initially I thought about dropping the whelps and technicians to add more spells and increase the value of the spellstones, but the tempo feels really good, and I'm not sure if it is worth it.Games usually start with a bit of trading, then a wipe from the Duskbreakers, then onto the bigger stuff!
Emperor Thaurissan is the bomb, love throwing him out on curve. He usually dies, if that happens, but man he helps! Chromaggus is a legend, and seems to always ensure I end up with 2x Shadowreaper Anduins in my hand. I actually wonder if he is worth keeping, but it seems to help out a lot when I'm up against other priests.
Just realised that, outside of Blackrock, I've only used standard cards. I may also pop in Troggzor the Earthinator. I know he doesn't get much love, but he was insane to use during the adventure!

I've avoided [card]Northshire Clericas I feel she is too easily dealt with in wild. I also never feel lacking for cards with this deck (my version) as it plays pretty slow. [card]Chromaggus and Nefarian will help fill the hand later on. I also avoided the destructive power words, as I feel they can be a bit situational. I'm an absolute beginner with priest, so tell me if you think my thoughts are wrong.

Welcome to the game.
Minions I'd recommend you consider: Drakonid Operative (so good, such value, kinda busted), Wyrmrest Agent (early taunt value), Twilight Guardian (used to also be amazingly solid).

Cut out Rend Blackhand: He is: 1.) TOO SLOW, 2.) The stats are AWFUL and 3.) TOO CONDITIONAL!
Replace Blackwing Technican with Kabal Talonpriest. It's a unconditional 3/4 that is most of the time a 3/7.
Out with the Holy Nova, in with the Excavated Evil. There are too many 3 health minions around. From Face Mages to Spellstone-Hunters.
Diamond Spellstone is too slow and you have way too few spells to make it worthwhile.
Oh man, scored a DK Rexxar from the operative! I so love that card!
