Seriously we ask too much when we call for a expansion when no one outvalue the what its supposed to be best value class? or atleast give us tempo plays and erease our weakness as Blizzard loves to do with Druid lol...this is just insane. Hunter and Druid are more priest than priest itself.
Priest is a support class in wow and hearthstone is a cardgame about wow, so be happy priest can deal any damage with shadow spells because priests should only heal XD

You need to look at Discipline and Shadow specializations then.
I still play my wild dragon priest without any card from new expasion.
Have you tried zerek priest with spirit of the dead? Now that the deck has a 5 mana aoe removal i think it could be a decent deck.
Also pre this expansion I was playing dragon mind blast priest with decent success (but it's a bit harder to pilot). Can't be much worse this expansion
Priest got some god awful cards in this expansion (as they have done with the last few expansions), Mass Hysteria and Grave Horror are the only acceptable ones, but they certainly aren't archetype defining.
dont get me wrong i even get the Loa of dead as my free loa. I love priest enough to ladder with the class even when i am only losing rankeds. What makes me sad is the fact that is the 3 expansion in a row that priest get outclassed as the long game class.

What do you mean get outclassed as long game class? What you want 20 Ragnaroses in your deck to win games?
Priest is doing fine. Yesterday went 36-20 with Combo Dragon Priest in high ranks, one streamer was really succesful with Spiteful Talanji deck.
At least you waited to post this until the expansion came out. Next time see if you can wait until the meta has settled.
if in this moment the priest decks are not doing well vs memes and people that is testing what makes you think that it will do it good later? that is not happening lol
Priest is a class that's sadly only really viable in wild: the basic-deck of priest is one of the weakest out there; even if other classes received nerfs, the basic priest deck is horrible. So priest needs every expansion some pretty insane cards or is simply the weakest out there. It could be easily fixed, but blizzard likes that priest is always the underdog.
eh, dragon priest seems to have 60%+ winrate according to HSreplay. I agree tho that the new priest cards, aside from Mass Hysteria are really disappointing
To guys, who think "Priest is not that bad" - Which rank from 1 to 9 you will give to power level of Priest? Lets say, Hunter #1, Rogue #2?, Mage ?,....... What will you give to Priest? Try it than say smth.
Priest doesn't suck. The new Dragons made a Dragon deck viable in Standard again. Maybe try different ideas instead of just one that didn't work for you. Perhaps then you won't whinge at the drop of a Priest.
Standard #9 - Priest is the worst class out there, was last expansion the case, was this expansion the case Wild #7 - Big Priest is right now all it allows there to hold it, but at least there are still glimmers of hope for improvement.
And this are not simple numbers out of my gut, these are facts:

How long: the meta right now is far too unstable to know what will happen in the future: but just look at priest-cards and then at different one. That's the issue: that priest who was the weakest class throughout THE WHOLE YEAR OF THE RAVEN does still get the weakest cards out there.
Dragon Priest in Standard might be a bit viable for the time being, but the overall winrate of priest is far too low and the deck variety of priest is right now exactly 1. Might there be a Priest deck that's quite insane in the future: maybe, but i wouldn't bet money on it.
As far as I'm aware Spiteful Dragon Priest shouldn't be too bad. Control and Clone Priest also still exist.
Personally, I feel like there's still a super-value control deck that can be made. Seance and spirit of the dead work well with value generators and Psychic Scream sstill basically hard counters most of the meta.
Priest is not an easy class to build a deck for, so have patience and waait for the meta to settle.

It's bad timing too, as next Spring all of Priest's good cards will be rotating (Shadow Visions, Duskbreaker, Shadow Essence, Psychic Scream, Shadowreaper Anduin, Obsidian Statue ect ect).
They better have something good planned for the next expansion, otherwise Priest will go back to the Classic days of being Tier 50.

Lol what new priest card actually made you think that it was going to be good?

So sadly forget it: wild or bust.

Why u hav to be mad? is only card gaem.
Thanks god for priest sucking. Most annoying class to play against with all its boring RNG based cards

It's quite simple:

Wild #7 - Big Priest is right now all it allows there to hold it, but at least there are still glimmers of hope for improvement.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.
Obsidian Statue make me unable to pity priest like at all until it rotates out.
I played against a priest with a pretty Fun Deck
He used the legendary weapon and a test subject then seance it then binding heal it and then topsy turvy
He got 10 heal 2 Dragons and the combo back nearly every turn and then he had 0mana grave horrors
Not the Best deck i know und pretty annoying for me but it was kinda cool
