I don’t think it’s overpowered. Very annoying to play against - yes.
I think priest lovers are the type of kids who were subject to pranks at school. Everybody laughed at them, humiliated them in every possible way while they dreamt of growing up and burning everyone in their class with a flamethrower.
But instead they just discovered Hearthstone and crafted Barnes alongside Cloning Gallery.
OP Scream and Mass Hysteria totally deserving both mana cost nerfs at least +1 mana.
Mass Hysteria is a better Brawl and OP Scream a better Twisting Nether (most of the time). I would make both even +2 mana more expensive if I could...
I think Mass Hysteria is fine because you can play around it. Either play minions with high health, keep odd number of minions to make Mass Hysteria less effective and/or have Deathrattle minions so Deathrattle gets activated. Psychic Scream on the other hand is a total board clear that you cannot play around, I could easily see it nerfed to 10 mana.
Psychic scream 10 mana?!? Hooooly crap. Talk about killing a card.
Even Warlock complaining about Clone Priest and Deathrattle Priest.
First Quest Priest dies like an idiot to Drakes and Giants before turn 7 and if you lose you SUCK BIG TIME!!!
Second against Clone idiocy you have several tech choices where you can put Gnomeferatu (Burn a Maly/Velen and they are GG) and Demonic Project and Skulking Geist to make their combo burn.
If you fail to adapt the overpowered problem is that you lack the skill !!!
I wouldn’t say it’s overpowered because there is a high learning curve that goes with Priest playing OTK.
The problem is losing to other OTK decks feels like you’ve wasted your time against someone that’s not running any real strategy. The learning curve for playing OTK decks in the most part is far too low. It should be more complicated than simply burning through your cards. This goes for any Mech deck.
High learning curve? 1. Heal 2. Heal/Spirit Lash 3. Heal / Weird Minion who gives you a coin 4. Heal / Coin Mass Hysteria 5. Mass Hysteria 6. Heal 7. Psychic Scream 8. Coin + Gallery + Mindblast + Mindblast = Lethal. Guess it's pretty complicated to handle so much cards. :D (But for real, Hearthstone isn't the most complicated game in the world, nothing in this game has a high learning curve.

You're totally right, never thought of playing around cards! So I just stop dropping minions until turn 5 or even better, build a whole deathrattle minion deck as suggested just to counterplay one single card from one single class. Brilliant. :)

This is the biggest nonsense I read in a long time, what a joke. Turn 3/4 is the first possibility to bring out an minion for Evenlock (you need to draw Drake/Giant first.) If you have them, Giants will 95% removed by SWP. Drakes only deal 4 DMG, so 2 dmg per round -heal. Also mass hysteria / psychic screams are easy peasy clears for priest. It's just total BS that you can kill them "easy" before turn 7 when your first drop is turn 4. This is just the short explaination for dummies since I don't want to waste my time on your senseless argument.
To the tech cards: Sure, let's just put a bunch of useless cards against most other meta decks in the list to perform MAYBE, with tons of RNG (Demonic Project, Gnomferatu), better against one class out there. Geist removes Holy Smite, wow, just 4 mindsblasts left.
Your post must be a troll, otherwise I totally lost faith in humanity.
This is why they are strong now. Both main Priest decks obliterate most Hunter decks and can still beat everyone else regularly enough. Priest wwill always have to be the meme class unless they manage to create an archetype that doesn't revolve around bullshitting your way out of a loss every single time.
I don't know why don't they just focus on Shadow Priest. It's literally the DPS Priest spec in WoW. They have the Auchenai stuff, Shadowform, just needs more support for that archetype. And for the love of everything that is holy, make Priest the best healing class, not freakin Warlock.

Breaking news: my deck cant win all classes.

Thank God you are not a developer!
After the rotation Priest will not be played anymore on ladder. There's just no reason to do so.
Nore more Ticking Abomination (thus no Mecha'thun ), no Shadow Visions , No Radiant Elemental , no Duskbreaker , no Twilight Acolyte , no Shadowreaper Anduin , no Psychic Scream, no Awaken the Makers .
0% reason to play Priest after rotation. Mark my words.
Indeed, no reason if you are a sportsman.
In standard? I don't play that crap. In wild? Yea, I think so.
Skidaddle skidoodle your Milhouse manastorm is now a noodle
I see so much resurect priest hate at the moment ^^. Maybe play a counterdeck? Yes it is possible to play a fun non aggro counter :-).
Breaking news: my deck cant win all classes. --> Very true. My counterdeck looses hard to tempo but i can stand that ....
Psychic scream 10 mana?!? Hooooly crap. Talk about killing a card.
Not overpowered, just frustrating to lose against because the combo hits you out of nowhere
Irritating to play? Yes.
Soul-destroying? Yes.
A growing cancer in the current meta? Definitely.
Overpowered? No, not really
Challenge accepted.
Cute, ineffective, but cute.
Kinda. More annoying though
Main thing hold Priest back is cost and that 1/2 the cards are bad crafts due to impending rotation.

“Wow”
Damn, the salt in this post 🧐
