Just curious, since I seem to be facing non stop control priest decks these days with super long unwinnable matches. Any tips for a deck that counters priests these days?
Pretty much any control deck just rolls over and dies to Anyfin Paladin.
not really true,if the priest plays well and doesn't get screwed by rng, he can win, there were multiple times i win by entombing his murloc warleader and old murkeye, and sometimes just playing taunt and buffing them up
Aggro decks normally will be able to counter Control Priest if aggressive enough. Loatheb will be a great addition to protect your board from AoE for a turn, which could make or break the game.
Like others have mentioned, Murloc Paladin and Freeze Mage are good decks to counter Control Priest too; those sudden burst of damages are usually very difficult to handle if without proper taunts or heals.
Some of the hardest matchups for priests are freeze mages, renolocks, and anyfin paladins. Aggro shaman and midrange druids are also favored. Otk worgen decks and oil rogue are also good, and some greedy control warrior lists with gorehowl and Elise can also go toe to toe with priests as well. Dragon priests with an early velens opening is also nightmarish for priests to handle.
He's right, I play a lot of control priest. Anyfin kills me a lot but not always, it's easy to spot and not impossible to beat. I would say if you want to beat control priest play Jaraxxus, I've only won one game I think after Jaraxxus is played, if you have it play it turn 9, no matter the board. Control priest have almost zero burst damage typically.
I play control priest and the times I get to lose are when my mulligan is so bad while matching against an aggro deck (i.e face hunterd and face shamin) .. RNG plays a very essential part in winning against priest since this class imo is godlike in terms of controlling the board and raging your opponent by stealing his favorite toys. My deck is solely based on stealing my opponent's board and let him live in misery haha. Fun!

Handlock with Jaraxxus.
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.
These are the only good ways for Priest to hard-counter Jaraxxus:
Otherwise, Priest will run out of answers for your endless stream of 6/6.

Great art can never be created without great suffering.
Aggro shaman and freeze mage are both good versus CP. Handlock / renolock should be good as well.
Heavy tempo mage decks (counterspell / no archmage, extra lategame) works well for me also, but I might have gotten lucky.
Hard counters are Murloc Paladin and Freeze Mage.
