I'm playing Galakrond Priest. I've played a lot of different versions. Highlander, regular, mixed in a lot of different cards. But, it seems no matter what version I use I can't keep up with Highlander Hunter. They just seem to play one legendary or legendary level card one after the other.
It is just a deck that stomps on control decks? Or am I doing something wrong? Or is is my deck?
Or what is going on, that deck seems nigh invincible to me. Is is just weak to DH or something keeping it in check??
It's a bad match for your deck. Highlander Hunter has a lot of damage. A lot. They have some really powerful burst finishers (Dinotamer Brann and Nagrand Slam). And they have gas to last into the late game. You will eventually run out of healing tools (including the hero power) and they will just kill you. Galakrond Priest doesn't pressure them enough. It's mostly a deck that plays defensively, generates value and waits for the opponent to run out of steam. It's really difficult to deal with the amount of damage they can do. Even my off-meta Highlander Quest Hunter destroys them. I went 12/1 against Priest and most of them were Galakrond.

The deck feels pretty invincible to play against. Why isn't it more popular? Does it have some really bad matchups?

Both Face Hunter and Tempo DH are much cheaper than Highlander Hunter. That's why the deck isn't more popular. Highlander decks in general are really expensive because the no duplicate rule opens more slots in the deck for legendary cards.
Right now, according to Vicious Syndicate latest meta report, Highlander Hunter is the best deck in the game and doesn't have any truly bad matchups. My advice to you is to always think ahead during your turns and play smart with your removals and healing cards. Take a good look at the card list for Highlander Hunter and learn about their core cards and key turns. As an example: you can always expect a turn 7 Dinotamer Brann if they not under any pressure. If you have any threats by turn 5 then they will probably drop a Rotnest Drake. Also, if you are not using an Acidic Swamp Ooze you should add one to your deck. One of the main culprits for their insane damage is Stormhammer. If you destroy it early, you will remove an incredible amount of pressure from yourself.
Vicious Syndicate top deck is Enrage warrior in both D4-D1 and Legend by the way. HL Hunter is strong but so far not top deck, it better at legend rank but still between 2 to 4 rank power below warrior if we follow the VS ranking

My mistake. It's the best for the Hunter class. But it's power level is astounding, indeed.
Highlander Hunter is a bad matchup for Galakrond Priest. They have great early pressure, but contrary to aggro versions, can keep going for the long game thanks to playing bombs like Dragonqueen, Siamat, Zixor Prime, Dinotamer, etc.
HL Hunter has much more dificulties against aggro, like Tempo DH, Face Hunter and even Zoo Warlock.
It goes about even with Warrior as well. Is favoured against Rogue and Mage as well.

It's certainly a Tier 1 deck.
You're whinging that they're playing a mediocre deck?
Wow.
ROFL shitty galakrond priest player I hope you go 0-1000
I'm starting to suspect that would happen if I played them 1000 times.
On a positive note I got my first 1000 win portrait today. (Priest of course)
