I'm running with the dark horse contender of Shaman. Hunters have always been a natural counter to shaman with their lack of healing and UtH punishing them for using their hero power. I wouldn't be surprised if you see Thrall creeping up those ranks in the next few months.
I think you got it exactly right. Shaman was supposed to be huge after Naxx with Reincarnate, but the Hunter meta wrecked Shaman.
I think the big issue you may face is the lack of finishers with deathrattle. The only deathrattle card with more than 5 attack (That I can remember) is The Beast.
Decent mass removal spell for priest that doesn't require the soul priest - circle of healing combo (i want to be able to free up 4 deck slots to try other things)
Cards that allow a shadow priest build to be viable (e.g. maybe a creature that heals your hero each time you deal damage with your hero ability)
Some kind of decent finishing combo for priest that doesn't require a billion cards
a decent all rounder/ multipurpose single creature removal spell
Ability to be able to heal your hero to more than 30 health
Sounds less like you want new cards, and more like you want to try Control Warrior.
I don't get why some draw up decks before the cards are even released ... like the need to be first compels them!? At least wait till you can test the deck before posting it up. Ok, the cards are out now! so test it and then post it .. I think most Priest players will auto stick the obvious new cards in without needing to be told though

Well, that's rude. I actually found this very interesting.

Depends on what you need. Leeroy is still better for combos, but Alkir is only 3 extra mana for Taunt, divine shield, and 3 extra health.

The new wing is actually out in EU.

What's with all the Deathlord hype? If everybody starts using him, zoo decks will just use Crazed Alchemist to counter.

And a free win if your opponent has any removal or silence.

It's definitely more of a GG than a yeti. The only way to actually get rid of a turn 2 yeti is with spells, which don't affect this guy.

The axe of the Ebon Blade would come from Thassarian's Deathrattle, like with Ashbringer and Tirion Fordring.

I would argue that the hero power needs to be +2 attack, if only because it requires a minion on the field. Great work, by the way.
