Thank you all so much, really! All of what you said sounds super logical tbh. I'm glad I've been more or less doing what is recommended. 

Re: priest vs priest, yeah, makes a lot of sense to save that Cleric for when you can use it -- same goes for it popping up later in the match.

When your priest gets the Northshire Cleric in their starting hand and the enemy drops a low-attack minion (say Paladin's Silver Hand Recruit), how many times should you attack-and-heal your Cleric? Do you keep going until you have to react to the enemy hero's moves? On turn 2 and 3, if you have 2-3-cost minions, do you play them, or heal your Cleric? I've done it both ways and neither so far as proven detrimental, but I figure if a Cleric is on the board it should be used as much as possible, yes?

On the other side, when playing against a priest that drops a Cleric early, how long do you go without attacking it? A couple times I've tried not to hit it or even drop a minion that it could attack until I know I can one-shot it, which usually backfires because of course I didn't get the right card/s. But smacking the Cleric without killing it just helps the priest. 

I've only been playing priest and paladin for a couple months now, still working out all the intricacies.

Thanks in advance.
