So with Blackrock Mountain rotating out, it seem priest will lose a lot of our dragon synergy card. Dragon decks are our most powerful decks at the moment. What will we replace it with? Resurrect priest. well we also lose resurrect along with it. I seems to me priest will be dead for another year. Its sad , because priest is my fav class to play. I understand rotating out cards , but priest has lost so many. Whats the point of even having the priest class. Well thats my rant. I hope im wrong about wrong about the next year but i see no light at the end of the tunnel.
New expansions can make anything possible. With just one expansion, Priest could go from the worst class to the best class depending on what cards they are given. Wait until the Gadgetzan cards are revealed, then we'll talk about Priest's future.
BRM will be rotated out but at the same time new expansions and adventures will appear. Maybe some OP priest cards awaits in this incoming expansion... who knows?
God I hope not. If you're playing control or a slow midrange, priests are a nightmare. If priest gets the shaman treatment, I will flip my shit. But, I suppose, we will have to wait and see.
Dragons are good but they will introduce new cards/mechanics that will let priest be viable again. Dragons are not Priest only hope, they may even get stronger dragon cards to replace the ones that are rotating out.
Priest really kicks ass in wild. New expansion will bring one new legendary for priest, 2 epics, 2 or 3 rares, and 2 or 3 commons. I think Priest will be maybe the most powerful class in wild when the new expansion kicks in. As for standard, we'll see, 9 cards are more than enough for a powerful new archetype or upgrade of Resurrect Priest.
Losing Resurrect would hurt since the archetype is just getting off the ground and needs a couple more pieces to be actually good, so hopefully Blizz will "reprint" it in some fashion.
I could care less about dragons, talk about boring.
I'm glad Priest still sucks. Priest is the most oppressive and annoying class when it's winning. There couldn't be anything worse than a Priest meta.
Killing the same minion three of four times or fighting against your own deck while the Priest has more threats in hand is neither fun nor interactive. At least against Shaman you can almost always expect a comeback if you are losing.
If they check their stats and want some profit it is almost certain they will make some strong priest cards to change the meta. Already happened with shaman, most likely will happen with priest.
Before the rotation happens, there is still 2 big expansions on the way. 2 more Priest legendaries, 3-5 class epics, 4-7 class rares, and 5-8 class commons are still awaiting, so anything could happen, no need to speculate for the class until you see the new cards.
priest needs classic and basic reworks, and some good options, it needs nothing op and it loses ressurect but resurrect priest is good because it has strong on curve plays turn 2-late game, not because ressurect is a card so it could lose that and gain something to make it actually viable, the problem with priest is really they don't have strong removal that consistently works against both slow and fast decks and as a control deck it loses to midrange, which is the meta.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?

Priest was in WoG the worst class by far and got with Karazhan Purify. So i wouldn't bet money on it!
That said, if nothing else, you can play Priest in Wild where the class remains competitive and there's no concern about cards cycling out.
IMO priest sucks in wild too I haven't lost to a single priest in wild
What deck are you playing? I lose to Priest all the time because I play Zoo and Patron. Priest is also alright against secret paladin if they get a good opening.

Control n'zoth warrior mostly sometimes secret hunter
but you said you are playing zoo and patron. Priest was always good against those deck because of board clears

But yes, I do see your concern. Resurrect, Entomb, Museum Curator, Excavated Evil, and all dragon synergy will hurt Priest in Standard if it doesn't get good replacements.

Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.
To be honest, I feel that paladin is as bad as priest (and perhaps even worse(. Only good in wild and thanks to Dr 6.

Always hope for the best
I think Blizzard will probably give Priest the Shaman/Paladin treatment- if not, I would expect more Purifies or the Rogue treatment.
Shaku, the Collector gave me the Plague

All current priest archetypes are barely viable. Dragon one (for me) is also boring.
Losing BRM will not make priest worse than other classes. It is already the worst
But new expansion could help. Let's hope!
