you'll lose sometimes dude. no deck wins against everything it faces. little known fact is, mid-range hunter has a lot of trouble against a skilled control priest.

Every single change you suggested makes this deck weaker.

Umbron posted a message on Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestPosted in: Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestI disagree you have enough sustain to last into the late game with Holy Fire etc. If you are running into Rush Decks like Zoo. You should run Wild Pyromancer and Holy Smite. This deck excels after Rank 10 when you run into a larger selection of decks like Handlock and Ramp Druid.
Shadow Madness and SW:P are too slow in the current meta.
SW:P and Shadow Madness are in no way "too slow" for the current meta. Pain drops a creature for 2 and Madness drops 2 creatures for 4. I'd argue instead that Cabal Shadow Priest and Auchenai Soulpriest are too slow.
Your suggestion of Wild Pyro and Smite is well-taken, but note that it's another 2-card combo. What you need to understand is that 2-card combos are not the solution for aggro decks, as they rely far more on luck/draws than something like a Sen'jin Shieldmasta, an Abomination, or the two cards I mentioned above. You have so many cards in your deck that will just sit as dead cards until you get the partner card necessary to make them useful. Watcher is a big example. Unless you're running 2x Argus 2x Sunfury and some Silence (like most druids), Watcher is more than likely a dead card in your hand for most matches. Wild Pyro would be reliable if you had a lot of cheap spells to complement him (hence, SW:P. Shadow Madness), But Smite and PW:S aren't gonna cut it.
All my previous comments aside, this deck actually does really well against control druid/handlock/control warrior setups. In EU these might be super popular. In NA they are popular in Rank 2 and up, but are far outnumbered by rush hunter and zoo. For the rest of the ladder, you're better off not playing priest IMO.
I wish you the best of luck with the deck, and I appreciate the time you put into crafting and fine tuning it. I just think it's the right deck for the wrong meta.

user-13772928 posted a message on Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestPosted in: Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestWithout a doubt one of the best priest decks out there. Stomps all control match-ups and does well against the aggro match-ups when played correctly.

user-14675913 posted a message on Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestPosted in: Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestI main Priest and I like this deck a lot, I think its very solid in terms of creatures and thats what other Priest decks lack. But the deck has downsides too, I think you can have a rough time versus Zoo and face Hunter, because you dont have Wild Pyromancer and a weapon destroyer.

Umbron posted a message on Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestPosted in: Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestThis deck seems nice at first glance, but is utterly terrible in the current meta. Rush anything will stomp this deck unless you get really, really, REALLY lucky with the draws/mulligans. You have way too many card combos required to get anything done (injured+circle, watcher+sunfury, auchenai+circle etc etc etc) and aggro/zoo/midrange can all manhandle you way before you get a chance to summon anything 6 gems or higher, let alone Ysera. There's a reason priest isn't popular in the meta. It's just sub-par. This would be a great deck for fun/casual/non-ranked matchups, but I wouldn't take this anywhere near competitive. And yes, I did playtest this deck in many matches. 8/10 were zoo/rush paladin/rush mage/rush warrior and all of them crushed this deck. Definitely recommend revision if you want to call this a "ladder-climber" deck. My advice: You mentioned correctly that priest is infamous for its control, but you put very little of that control in this deck. Run some shadow madness, some shadow word pain, some taunts like shieldmasta that don't require a two-card combo, and you'll be way better off.

I have actually changed it for a Ysera after testing it for a bit.

Lux_EU posted a message on Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestPosted in: Shimmering Light - Rank Climbing PriestI have experimented a little with this deck today and I swapped out Alexstrasza and put in Ysera. It worked really well, and the three times I got Ysera (three times out of five ranked games) out onto the field, he stuck and I won all three games.
The reason Ysera stayed on the board is due to me not playing it until very late into the game.
If anyone else tries this out you will find it is very viable for this deck in my opinion.
Ysera is one of those Cards that I am considering too, Its a very good Taunt Wall and can help during the late game, Problems arise when facing another Priest.

sergioRamadan posted a message on Gaara's "1st Place Hunter" - Dreamhack Winning DeckPosted in: Gaara's "1st Place Hunter" - Dreamhack Winning DeckI totally agree with you, I think the card selection between them depends on what decks are being played in the rank you are placed. if you are in a rank full of aggro decks you would prefer using Explosive Trap, while if are in a rank full of control decks you would prefer playing Direwolf
