DECK OVERVIEW
The deck contains 4 Deathrattle minions (2x Shifting Shade, 1x Sylvanas Windrunner and 1x Chillmaw) and 2 minions that discover Deathrattle minions (2x Museum Curator). Your aoe comes in the form of Excavated Evil, the Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing and Wild Pyromancer + Spells. Your game plan is to control the board until you can drop N'Zoth, the Corruptor and win the game.
CARD DRAW
Power Word: Shield 2x:
A staple in all Priest decks. Use in conjuction with Wild Pyromancer to clear the board.
Northshire Cleric 2x:
A staple in all Priest decks. Be careful about dropping her on turn 1 unless you can protect her.
Harrison Jones:
I put this guy in because i started facing more and more Rogues as i climbed. Rogues are your weakness and Harrison Jones helps in this match up.
There are also plenty of Warriors around and most of them are running Gorehowl.
Entomb x2:
This is a form of card draw but it's also a removal all in 1 card. More about it later.
BOARD CLEAR
Excavated Evil x2:
I chose to put this instead of Holy Nova because Holy Nova's mana cost is way too much for what you actually want the card to do 90% of the time. Excavated Evil also wrecks Grim Patron. Last but not least it doesn't really hurt you if you give it to your opponent and if they're Aggro... well they can't really use it.
Wild Pyromancer x2:
Use this guy with a bunch of spells to clear the board. Preferably with a Power Word: Shield so he stays Healthy and trades. Particulary useful against Aggro.
Auchenai Soulpriest x2 + Circle of Healing x2
This combo has been around since the start and it's even more necessary now that we lost Lightbomb.
Consider using Circle of Healing with Northshire Cleric if you're gonna get good value.
CARD HIGHLIGHTS
Shifting Shade x2:
Superb card. When this guy dies you get their Tirion Fordring or 1 of their shiny Pay2Win Legendaries. Also comes back with N'Zoth, the Corruptor for even more value.
Forbidden Shaping x2:
My personal favorite. You want to use this when you have 8 remaining mana since that's when it generates the most value.
Cards you can get from this are:
Tirion Fordring, Giant Sand Worm, Ragnaros the Firelord, Ragnaros, Lightlord, Al'Akir the Windlord, Chromaggus, Ironbark Protector, Anomalus, Grommash Hellscream, Doomcaller, Eldritch Horror, The Boogeymonster, Fossilized Devilsaur.
Entomb x2:
More Tirion Fordring. You remove their minions and you get to play them. It also makes their N'Zoth, the Corruptor useless if you use it on the right targets. Immense Value.
Chillmaw:
You will never actually get to use this guy's Deathrattle unless you steal a dragon with Shifting Shade or you get something like Deathwing, Dragonlord from Museum Curator but not to worry. It doesn't matter at all. People will still try to play around its deathrattle, sometimes sarcrificing both of the minions they have on board instead of using a removal that would've let their minions live. Chillmaw is the only Taunt with Deathrattle available to the Priest Class that is not hands down terrible and that means he'll be there when you N'Zoth, the Corruptor. You will never regret having a taunt alongside a full board when you play N'Zoth, the Corruptor.
HAVING TROUBLE?
If you're having trouble against aggro consider adding/removing the following:
-1 Shadow Word: Death
-1 Harrison Jones
+2 Flash Heal or +2 Doomsayer
CONCLUSION
Thanks for taking the time to read this guys. I wish you all the best with your climb and like always feel free to ask any questions in the comments section below and i'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
Cheers!

Is it best to leave out Justicar? Any place for her?
Good deck, fairly similar to mine. Love Harrison and all the AOE board clears, because we absolutely need them in this meta.
I just don't use the Northshires right now, this deck has so much card generation with the 2x2 shades and the curators and with Harrison. Embrace the Shadow makes that combo more likely and a Doomsayer, as you suggested, is awesome.
I like very much the deck but feeling like N'zoth is not a win condition anymore with this deck. Lack of mid game answers to meta.
This deck looks great, super psyched to try it out. I just happened to have all the cards. Would justicar be a good replacement for one of the entombs though? Just thinking 4 heal/dmg is pretty epic.
Scratch that, against control warrior two is necessary.
What are the best mana crystals to use forbidden shaping if you have to use it for tempo? I know that ideally you use it when you have 8 mana crystals left (and you have also mentioned it in this guide) but there are decks where you can't afford to just heal +pass in the midgame or wait till turn 8.
can i put ysera instead of one shifting shade? its the only card i am missing( have only one copy). It provides an activato for chillmaw deathrattle, and is a great late game topdeck.
Thx for sharing this wonderful deck!

Got a decent amount of content FeelsControlPriestMan really nice deck goodjob with top 100 legend achievement that's crazy I just want to be legend haha!
Yeah I really wanted to play control priest and it was really flowing well for me so I was like weeeeeell I have to stream a couple hours so might as well do a longer one at some point XD ! No problemo great deck thanks for the share :3 !
It has been almost a year since i have started playing hs and my highest rank is 11, however i do not play 24/7 because of my studies. I really liked this deck and i will have to craft nzoth, chillmaw and harrison jones in order to complete it. What do you think shall i go for it?
Nzoth its a safe bid, its a win condition and really fun to play, and think a corrupted healbot can be a fair replacement for harrison and maybe a burst damage whit auchenaid, may a second one for chillmaw to, but this can backfire
Craft N'zoth and Harrison. Not chillmaw.
any chance one shifting shade can be replaced for a corrupted healbot or herald volasjz?
Thanks, I didn't look at priest much this season but was hoping I could somehow make a N'zoth version and you did it for me.
I'm not as good as you are but I'm using a priest control deck this season and it's so fun. It look like your but it's the Noxious version

I really like having 2 corrupted healbot. They help you trade with your opponent and when N'zot bring them back they're pretty solid. Cairne help me a lot too when my opponent have an awnser for my N'zot turn. I still have a body on the feild.
Shifting Shade win me a game last night when I stole 2 Ragnaros, Lightlord.
Control priest had always been my favorite deck to play and this one is pretty solid in the current meta.
Great deck and I have all the cards. but how about adding one thought steal just for the fun it. What card so you suggest I replace for it
Infested Tauren? Abomination? How did you make it to legend with such sh*tty game knowledge? I smell something fishy, guys. This dude prolly made it to legend with face shaman, then took a screenshot with a priest deck LOLOLOLOLOL
Infested tauren is basically a half-taunt Chillwind Yeti. It requires your opponent to hit twice to remove. Basically, if you were to include a Yeti in a midrange deck, this card becomes an option vs aggro. Smart players will remove the 2/2 slime since it's a threat to their knife juggler/totems (shaman)/sorc's apprentice/etc..
No replacement for Chillmaw? Great, guess yet another deck I can't use...
