first of all: this isn't a "mimi" thread. I Just want to collect some deckideas and want to start a discussion on how we get Priest to work :)
I really love playing Control Decks and Priest was always one of my favorite classes for this archetype. However I dont like this hole Ress/OTK stuff that has been around for the last months.
So maybe just ignore these typs of decks for a moment, because they already exist and doesnt work that well in the "current meta" - I know its only a few days, but we all know that at least tempo rogue and token druid will be around for some time.
I dont want to talk about what we have lost with this roation...because it doesnt matter and wont change anything. - but what did we get instead?
Forbidden Words I absolutely love this card, can kill every minion without much preparation.
Hench-Clan Shadequill back at classic every Priestdeck played Injured Blademaster and I think this is just a better version of him, easy to keep him alive and his Deathrattle isn't that much of a downside.
Madame Lazul tried her a few times, seems pretty ok but I dont think that its good enough to see much play or make a difference. It should be "steal the card from your opponents hand" then it would be really good.

so I made some test games yesterday and you guys are right
Sand Drudge is bad...really bad xD and Ysera is too slow and greedy and doesnt do much most of the time
also I excpected Cabal Shadow Priest to be better, but it doesnt make a difference if you steal one of the 6 murlocs on the board :/
so also cut Lazul‘s Scheme
Convincing Infiltrator wasnt that good either :( damn it I thought he would perform better
that would leave the deck with 7 slots to fill :)
Omega Medic sounds pretty good for me, but only as a one off i guess
Tunnel Blaster and Grave Horror sound good. maybe a 1-2 split.
and then? one more Holy Nova, Mass Dispell and Seance
I will definitely try out the decks you guys posted thank you :) keep it going

Hello there,

Convincing Infiltrator seems pretty good to me, a cheaper Obsidian Statue
Forbidden Words I absolutely love this card, can kill every minion without much preparation.
Hench-Clan Shadequill back at classic every Priestdeck played Injured Blademaster and I think this is just a better version of him, easy to keep him alive and his Deathrattle isn't that much of a downside.

Lazul's Scheme pretty decent, great to play with Cabal Shadow Priest or Shadow Word: Pain
The current metadecks are Bomb Warri, Token Druid, Tempo Rogue, Murloc Shaman and a few Control Shamans/Warriors
Bomb Warri shouldnt be that much of a problem for a healing class.
Control Matchups really depend on Archivist Elysiana so I guess you have to be a little bit lucky.
But Token Druid, Murloc Shaman and Tempo Rogue are a bit tricky I think.
so what do we need? - board clear, be able to create a decent board because non of them are playing aoe removals and out value them in longer games.
So I thought about a more "classic oriented" Priest deck with Wild Pyromancer and Cabal Shadow Priest
What do you guys think? how to impore this deck? or even how to improve the current situation of Priest :)
