    Priest is great on ladder now to counter the Aggro decks - given that you have many ways of removal as well! 

    I'll take your decklist for a spin. :) Currently playing N'Zoth Control Priest on ladder at Rank 8 currently, so I'll be sure to come back with some results~

     Great man!! Let me know how it goes!!

    I'm going to craft N'Zoth and give this a shot tonight.  My only question is with a lot of Battlecry's in the death, would Brann Bronzebeard fit in at all, or would it be sacrificing too much C'thun buffing or card draw?

     The very first version of this deck did have Brann in it. The problem is, while there are a LOT of battlecries with huge value (like healing for 20 with darkmender) and potential to card draw an such, Brann ended up feeling a little slow. He does not stay on board against aggressive decks, and you will not be able to wait until turn 8 to combo him with darkmender, for example. He shines against control, late in the game, when you can save him to drop right before C'thun, or before Curator to find double value; But i just did not feel he was necessary. It's worth a try tho!
     I've added Brann to the deck just for the 20 health heal, which has saved me numerous of times in the few games I've already played. He is also insane if he manages to live on the board till you drop N'zoth or C'thun, which happens sometimes in control match ups. Other than that I've been trying out Justicar which in my opinion contributes well to staying alive. 
     Nice to know man. I might have to add him back and see how it works for me. The first time i did i admit it did not went well. Unfortunately, i don't have justicar, but i'm sure she would really make the deck stronger!

    Hey tevildo, first of all, thanks for your input bro!

    The Shifting Shade change seems nice, and i'll try it myself! You have a point there (together with the other guys suggesting that change ofc!)

    Now, on to Cabal. I feel like she is a bit slow against aggro, and not so necessary against control. But, she is ofc a very strong priest staple card, and if you wanna try it, i just suggest you don't take away entomb. I would roll three entombs if i could! It's soo strong and game changing in so many situations. I would suggest going for +1x Cabal and -1x Hooded Acolyte, even if we mess a bit with the mana curve, it's better then forfeiting one entomb copy.
    Cheers mate and thanks for posting!

    Thanks man! Let me know how it goes!

    Cheers!

    Edit:

    @figjam: Justicar is great to improve our control Matchup, mainly mirrors. I would take out one Hooded Acolyte for her. The thing is, i don't think she is really necessary here, but i could be wrong.

    As for the Shifting Shades, you could replace the Hooded Acolytes, improving our card advantage and N'zoth value. I just went with the Hooded Acolytes because they are stickier, wich helps a lot against aggro (it's really relevant to have something on board). But it's a change we can definitely try.

    The only  thing we should not mess with are the Curators. They are golden to fix our curve, helping find something to play on the next turn, if we don't have, and also finding that sweet sylvannas / cairne / dragonlord for value against slower decks.
    I'll try swapping Acolytes for the Shades, to see how it goes! Thanks for the suggestion!

    This is a great question, SchruteBucks, and the answer is absolutely YES.
    No doubt in my mind.

    I've won countless games close to fatigue due to saving N'zoth for last.

    Remember we can extract two high value minions out of the Museum Curators on control matchups (because we don't need to fix our curve so badly at the start).

    And also, the other high value deathrattles will be obtained by Entomb (We should always Entomb Tirions, other Sylvannas, and even Cairnes. We denie that value to our opponent's N'zoth, while buffing our own.

    In the deck post there is a video, i suggest you take a quick look! I win two matches against warriors, and both of them i was saved by N'zoth.

    Thanks for commenting, hope you have a good day!

     Well obv a well timed N'Zoth is crucial in Control Warrior matchups (after you've baited both Brawls), but I think if were ONLY running 3 deathrattles, I'd rather have Shifting Shades over Curators, since at least some of the time you're not going to get good choices with Curators. 
    And some games you can't rely on Entomb = Deathrattle.  
    edit: That said, having all these cards I'm not going to NOT try it out. =P
    Nice man! Good to know you are going to try it! Please let me know if it worked well for you.
    As for the Curators -> Shades trade, keep in mind that the Curators have more flexibility, and finding a lower value deathrattle helps us correct our curve against agressive decks (sometimes we need a 3 drop so badly, and the shades won't help us there). But you have a point.

    You are absolutely right.

    Also, if we add deathrattles, we have to remove some C'thun buffing cards, and in the current meta, we can't risk not having him 10/10 when we play Darkmender.

    N'zoth just gives us a second chance against control decks, since C'thun normally is not enought to finish them by himself!

    Thanks for you comment!

    @jebron: I was struggling just as you to climb from rank 15 onwards for the entire month. With this deck i finally got to rank 5, and pretty quickly, due to the huge amounts of shamans, hunters and zoo's. Warriors are actually a great matchup for us (except for pirate warrior that can kill us way before we stand a chance to fight back).

    Sometimes not even a defensive deck like this can resist the aggro, but i sure had something like a 70% WR against that kind of lists.

    As for the state of the class, now that i'm rank 5, things are a bit harder, and i feel like maybe it's not tier1. We for sure are not as strong and consistent as tempo mages. Also, miracle rogues can crush you no problem (Concealed Gadgetzan is a absolute NIGHTMARE for this list and for the class as a whole).

    TL:DR: We are for sure viable, and the Dragon Rattle list is VERY strong (and expensive), but there are other lists stronger then us right now!

    Thanks a lot for your comment man, cheers! If you guys don't mind taking a look at the video (and maybe subscribe =P) i would be very happy!
    Anyway i think you can have a lot of fun watching the SMORC's conceding after you drop the Darkmender =3

    Well guys, I've just created a new deck guide here.
    I'm an average guy, so don't expect nothing fancy.

    My friends urged me to post this because they all liked the deck. It's a pretty basic priest, a mix from C'thun & N'zoth (C'thun for the +10 healing girl + Twins) and N'zoth brings that extra value to win Control Matchups.

    The deck got me from rank 15 to 5 in a day, and since i know i'm bad, that means the list is good, right?

    So, here is the list:

    Rank 5 Priest for Non-PROS
    Export to BBCode Export to Cockatrice Export to MarkDown Export to Html Clone this deck
    Minion (20) Ability (10)
    Loading Collection


    I've even made a video (with some fun highlights and basic guide). If you don't mind taking a look, it is on the deck post below:

    http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/554747-rank-5-priest-anti-aggro-for-non-pros

    This is my very first post so i hope i'm not doing anything wrong by sharing the deck here.

    Thanks everyone! I'll be happy to answer any questions!
