I will try to ladder with Face Hunter/ Tyler´s zoo and then probably try Dragon Priest (from rank 5 onwards)

I think Dragon Priest sucks balls from 5 to Legend tbh.

1. Secret Paladin is not that favorable that one could hope. There is just too little AoE in Dragon Priest and with all the stickies Secret Paladins have it's not easy to get the board.

2. One of the few builds Zoo can actually win against because again too little AoE.

3. Control Priest is going to be tough as well. 

4. Renolocks

I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I found Dragon Priest be a bit too slow and had too many bad matchups. Personally I love Dragon Priest with Brann and was hoping to smash my way up from rank 5 but again and again I just got smacked down (season 23) so last season I just played Zoo and Control Priest and reached my first Legend.

 Dragon Priest is one of the counters to Control Priest, but otherwise I agree with your observations.

Dragon priest counters control priest? Actually this is the other way around. Control priest has so many ways to clear the board and after that, the dragon priest stands no chance.

Dragon priest is generally good against agressive decks, but is nowhere near a top deck. I started the season with it, but do not expect to go very far with it. The funny thing was that I'm 2-1 so far, I lost to a balanced druid start and beat a Reno and Control Warrior where I expected clearly my opponent to be in favour. I got lucky.

I've exclusively played Dragon Priest the last 3 months on ladder and beaten many control priests... if your opening is aggresive enough and don't allow them to build their board it's gg since nor lightbomb not holy nova will make them come back vs your high HP minions. 

Facehunter/Zoo to climb, maybe patron warrior.

I need to work on rank 2/3 - Legend.  I really have a hard time making that final push.  

I start the season off flying, so I'll have 3 hours to get going

on the dragon priest note , if you are not in a hurry, i have been doing fairly good with this list:

So here we are, Season 25.

I've finished 2-5 in the last 7 or so seasons, so I wouldn't consider myself "bad", but getting to 3 and walling is starting to get pretty annoying.

Any tips from ex-legends? Not like "deck track, play top tier, etc" tips, tips regarding better decision making, y'know game mechanics.

P.S. I will not play Secret Paladin

Grabbed Rank 5 once again last season.  Really wanting to go for it this time.  Going to play some fun decks early though since its just a free for all anyway.  Raptor Rogue has me at 15 right now.  Pretty solid.

You can do it!

I predict that I will do exactly the same thing I did last season and maybe try for rank 5 and then play a crapton of arena.

Because arena is the best for a rollercoaster of emotions. OH SWEET, I HAVE A FUCKING AWESOME DECK 0-3.

FUCK MY DECK IS TERRIBLE. 7-0 CURRENTLY

I've got exams this month, so I'll just hit 5 and save the grind another season. Probably going to play whatever decks I find interesting (OTK Patron, Control Priest, Reno Giants Mage, etc) and switch back to druid whenever I get too salty and need some easy wins. 

I think that the real challenge is going with a "standard" deck and get legend this season. I tryhard since March and only got to rank 5...

 I guess it's more even than I think maybe. It probably depends if the Dragon priest list runs 1 or 2 Velen's Chosen. This is the key card in the match up.

Malyrogue/ Patron/ Freeze.

After a long, exhausting day of playing. Finally did it! Legend on Day 1, April 1st!!

Decklist

So I'm planning to reach at least rank 5 this season and I would like to climb with tempo mage. Currently i'm rank 17 and i'm using this deck :
I have only played arena last 2 season so a little bit of a help would be appreciated

Do you think i could replace anything? And is it even good to climb with tempo mage or there is something better (i don't like playing secret paladin and shaman)

Hey, I have been running Tempo Mage three seasons in a row already always reaching rank 5 and stopping there. I'm looking for a change bc it just got boring and also I want to hit legend this time and with Tempo Mage rank 5 w 5 stars was the deadlock for me. What do I run? :d

Gonna try control priest for legend 

I'm not gonna try the secretdin again, I've hold up by warriors for most of the last week. Ended at rank 2 with 4 stars, higher then ever, but I felt I could have gotten legend with it if I played against the same decks as earlier. Well minus the Faceshamans, screw them.

I plan on reaching rank 5 with my tempo heal priest again. Meta permitting I'll try to get higher with it before Old Gods release.

Need a few more wins for golden warrior.  :)

I'm going to try hard like crazy this season. Last season I made it to rank 1 with 4 stars and got pushed down to rank 4. I'm thinking of using Zoolock and Tempo Mage until about rank 5 and then going with Control Priest.

Anyone have a good Control Priest deck and/or some tips on laddering with the Priest?
