Some other versions going around post nerfs that are better. Korak is a horrible rez target against most classes now. Scorpids and Importers add a better control package.
Priest is in such a bad spot. Warlock has better healing (not to mention Druid and warrior have better healing through armor), demon hunter has better lifesteal, hunter has better single target removal, paladin has better defensive minions… it just seems that all of priest’s identity has been parceled out to other classes leaving it in an awkward place. There isn’t good hard removal or aoe right now and that severely limits the class. Priest doesn’t even have a 2-damage aoe until holy nova, and the single target spells are very disappointing. There is good draw, maybe even the best draw in the game, but nothing to play once you draw it. Priest needs better defensive minions and board clears badly. Hysteria rotation really hurts, and the sets from last year were flat out weaker than other classes. Seek guidance is the worst questline by a mile and the hero card is the most expensive (tied with brukan and post-nerf scabbs). The colossal is way overpriced, laughably costing more than Nellie and having the same cost and effect as gigafin but worse because it only deals with one target and has no taunt. Mi’da of pure light needs taunt, otherwise it’s a liability.
tldr: priest no longer has an identity, it has the weakest legendaries from the high-power year of the gryphon, and it lost the removal tools needed to survive.
70% WR on way to legend for Quest Priest says otherwise. Priest can counter any meta if you build a deck properly. Build to beat DH and Ctrl Warrior it eats them up.
Playing a more spell based Naga/Freeze shaman package with Queen and Zola. Wildpaw is needed against Pirate Warrior and Rogue. I loved Faelin but its too slow. Portal is bad even when i discover it its wasted. Coral Keeper i like. Gulp, Kagwar and Bolanr not needed. I even cut Brukan. School teacher is fun but underwhelming. Hovering just above 50%, Shaman very fun. Got some great new cards. Scroll is 5/5.
Shaman need a mass hex and they woukd be in a great spot. If you lose board and cant freeze opponents its game over. Im olaying a fun naga freeze shaman and running juat above 50% WR

Priest cards do nothing in current meta. Set is value for your gold though.

Literally nothing wrong with druid. Pirates and Mechs are the busted decks, fix them then control decks can thrive vs druid

Blizz dont care about wild, and in standard run silence you insta win. Pirates and Mech decks are more busted.

Pirate Warrior 100%

A deck with Bran and Bolnar is definitely happening

Works well with Priest legendary from last mini set as the deathrattle is a spell cast

Better if it attacked random enemy. Not enemy minion. Give priest a board threat and a way to do face damage.

Rotation when,. Standard is dead.
