I've climbed from rank 5 to Legend in Wild with this deck this season.
This deck has a very strong draw engine (pyromancer+acolyte+spells, northshire+full board of damaged minions + circle), so your first goal is to get 8-9 cards in your hands. This will help to get to your numerous AOE removals (auchenai + circle, nova, lightbomb) and stabilize the board. Later get your deathrattle minions killed and get them revived with Nzoth for that finishing move.
Any questions hit me in comments I will try to answer.

UPDATE: since this deck got a bit of attention, here are some random tips off top of my head:
Mulligan for Northshire, Pyromancer, Acolyte, Shadow Word Pain. With coin keep auchenai and shredder. Keep Circle if you have Northshire or Auchenai.
Vs paladins save your Entomb for Tirion at all costs.
It's ok, especially early when you dont have a lot of cards in your hand, to deliberately damage and not kill as many minions as you can (opponent's included!) and then use Northshire+Circle to draw a lot of cards.
Try to be greedy with your Lightbomb. For example if opponent puts Dr Boom on an empty board and you have 25+ health, wait one more turn for opponent to put more minions for more devastating Lightbomb effect. Similar logic goes to Auchenai+Circle. Especially if you have Belcher in hand. Put Belcher on the board to stall opponent and use Lightbomb next turn.
If you lightbomb on turn 9, put Acolyte on board first.
Use Pyromancer either as a board clear or as a way to hurt Acolyte.
Vs freeze mage use Flash Heals for your own face only.
Look for opportunities to profitably Shadow Word Death your own Sylvanas.
Auchenai + 2XFlash Heals + Hero Power is ofter a surprising lethal combo.
Vs Warriors try to make him Brawl your board pre Nzoth, this is very hard though.
And main tip once again - your first objective is to draw a lot of cards to have "perfect answers to every move" as Priest opponents often say.
UPDATE: Furo posted a 30min youtube video playing this deck, here it is:
Its pretty hard to replace, but maybe 2nd entomb, dr boom or maybe Barnes
No Deathlords ? also: Excavated evil is simply a lot better than Holy Nova, especially vs Shaman/zoo.
Didnt put deathloards into this deck initially mainly because I didnt want Nzoth to bring them back and I hoped to get away without them, then had a good run from 5 to Legend and was not forced to do something about early game and put deathlords in, meta was friendly enough. Now for nova vs exc evil, there are two lightbombs + auchenai with circle to do what exc evil does and you dont give your opponent a tool to deal with your Nozht turn if you use nova. Often you can do pyromancer + nova to reach for that 3 damage. And obviously nova gives opportunities draw with northshire. This deck crushes zoo hard as it is listed here, but since meta is everchanging, feel free to make adjustments as needed, good luck.
Great deck! I'm using this to farm some easy wins in the upper ranks of wild towards my golden priest portrait (currently have 420). It feels good jumping over from standard into a priest deck with Belchers and Lightbombs - both amazing cards! I have not laddered wild until this week so it will be interesting to see how much success I have with this.
Good to see meta of 2nd full month of Wild being friendly to this deck. Didnt go for wild legend again this month with this deck myself, just hit rank 5 rather quickly and switched to Arena for the rest of the month. Next month I will try a standard version of this deck on that ladder, just went for direct replacements for those shredders and belchers, here is the deck http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/579934-standard-nzoth-priest
Sensible choices for your replacements but obviously not as strong as the wild version and you will find the heavy aggro meta in standard will punish you for it. I played a list very similar when WotOG came out and I had to make some changes to increase my survival. They were -Clerics, -Holy Nova, +Doomsayers, +Embrace the Shadow. Every match-up hangs on the chance that you draw auchenai circle in time, except control warrior - that's the most favored match up.
I also feel I will need to add ooze or Harrison in standard, Harrison instead of one Acolyte most probably as Harrison in this deck brings a risk of overdrawing and burning cards, especially vs Doomhammer.
Hey man tnx a lot for deck. Why no Elise? You draw a lot and after not in mid game you have no continue...
If you face enough mirror matches, warriors and other fatigue control vs control games, sure put Elise in. I just didnt need her last month, deck was performing well enough without her vs secredins and zoos mostly. Having Elise in the deck changes your play a bit, you start saving cards like Pyromancer in your hand for that Elise value instead of just dumping everything you have on the board. Out of this list if I would want to put Elise in, I think I would remove Curator.
Good work, amazing how Lightbomb makes Priest in wild so much better than in standard!

Thank you very much for this, updating deck description with a link to your video.
Thats cool, thank you
DESTROYS ZOO! haha
Add Dr. Boom. I don't care that N'Zoth might summon the boom bots, Dr. Boom is just too good not to include.
2 X Excavated Evils perhaps. Maybe another entomb or shadow word death as well instead of Curator to deal with huge threats that are cleared by Lightbomb like Ragnaros, Dr Boom, or buffed mysterious challengers. But Lightbombs will be missed for sure, deck not as strong as with them.
I made a deck very similar to this to see how Wild mode was. Absolutely destroys anything aggro-based. Also a reason to include Herald Volazj!
What would you drop for Herald Volazj?
From this list? 1x Flash Heal. My version was fairly different, though.
Why no deathlord?
