Hey guys Pepwn here...I just wanted to share with you the preist deck i've used to climb the legend ladder. It works great and its fun. I dont have time to write a full guide but I am willing to upload some videos if the deck gets atleast 10 upvotes.
Feel free to add me at Pepwn#1172

Update- Wow so much feedback guys thanks a lot its an honor truely. I'm glad you guys are having some success with the deck.
As promised above I bring you a video with a couple games so you get an idea of my playstyle. I hope you enjoy it.

Update- Hey guys I have made some changes to the deck on my second climb.
Minus 2 Northshire Cleric, Plus 2 Mind Vision.
Minus 2 Injured Blademaster, Plus 2 Thoughtsteal.
I'm actually having great success with the changes. Not only do those cards have more synergy with Yogg-Saron, but also impact your turn on cast rather than having to wait for a combo to happen. Try it out and see how it goes.
this is the most fun i had with a priest deck in ages , game 1 fatigued with warrior = it was close loss
game 2 vs tempo mage = steal 3 flamewakers , and there you have it , tempo priest win ;)
game3 vs zoo lock = excellent removal with wild pyro and some handy spells ,strong victory , zoolock could not develop a board at all ;)
game4 vs tempo warrior , a convincing win
but there is something wrong with mind vision , had 2 games where it does not work , and it works if your opponent still have cards left I would assume
I just doubt the Yogg as a really strong win condition.
Other card choices are pretty default for control priest IMO.
Played against this on ladder as tempo mage. No idea hows it even supposed to win. If it can't even beat Tempo mage in a fatigue match, how's it going to beat warriors? Early Monkey?
VS Cthun warrior yes early monkey is probably the only way unless the warrior plays bad . And against tempo mage, I've had success. Not all games go end the same.
He's been legend before with decks similar to this, long time friends w/the man :p
Sup dospac! :)
I basically have NOTHING of the things i need when i need it with this deck, even Zetalots "Not Like This" is better imo.
Tried your deck a few times in casual, lost to C'thun Warrior and Dragon Warrior, beat C'thun Druid and Mid-range hunter (why they were in casual is another story) 50% isn't bad for a small sample size against some of the biggest decks. I was surprised by the survivability. One thing that was interesting was that the Warriors seemed confused because I usually had only one, maybe 2 minions on the board; so they didn't seem to want to waste their removal.
Well, priest deck with 2 entombs that can't even consistently beat warrior is really really bad one.
Super fun deck! having a blast and love taking all the good cards from my opponent with mind vision :)
Glad you like it scott it is fun indeed :).
The truth is, Justicar is one of the best cards in Priest decks.However in this one, you Have yogg and elise as ur win condition and u dont need to extend games to fatigue. I do think this deck can be improved becouse its not very consistent but thats the theme of the deck and i wouldnt put anything out for justicar and even if i would find a card that a card has no place in this deck id rather have some reliable AOE like excavated evil. But if you find much more aggro shamans than u cant replace thoughtsteal, mind vision ect. to add some cards to improve those matchups but u would break the deck and if u kept doing so u would make the same onedimensional priest deck that anyone plays and u might get boared from grinding.
Were those changes good in the rank you were in the video or also in legend rank
why you play 2 entombs and 2 sw:death ? with the masses of zoo and aggro you meet on ladder, they are dead cards. And the only boardclears you have, is the wild pyro and the auchenai+circle combo.
I Tested it with:
-1 Shadow Word: Death -1 Entomb
+2 [card]Excavated Evil[/card]
and had much more success vs zoo lock and aggro shaman
Climb on fellow priest!
Nice looking deck!
I have been thinking for a while aboutusing Soggoth the Slitherer in priest decks. What do you think of him, instead of Rag for instance?
They definitely don't play the same roles but it seems like it could be good because you can heal it with Darkshire Alchemist and Circle.
Pepwn, what's your strategy against worgen combo warrior with this deck?
Hi, Otk decks have always been a problem for priest, however if you are facing the current warrior otk deck a lot, my suggestion is to take out elise and put in a taunt of your choice. Soggoth the Slitherer is pretty much a complete counter to it but i have not tried it. Every time i played against it I won by flooding the board and making sure they had to react to my minions. However it is a pretty hard match up because they can easily out draw you and eventually kill you. Get lucky or go home :).

While I don't think this deck is bad, I have a very hard time believing you climbed to legend with this deck alone.
I'm currently 1-10 with this deck, and have lost to Fandral druid, Aggro hunters, spell hunters, Aggro warrior, control priest, aggro shaman and N'zoth paladin.
I'm not the best Hearthstone player, but I generally finish each season at around Rank 4-6 (got rank 4 playing N'zoth control priest last season) so I don't think I'm completely incompetent with priest either.
This weekend alone, I've played dozens of games as dragon priest, control priest, and OTK priest and have yet to be able to climb up past rank 10, which is annoying since I'm really only playing priest because I need 26 more wins for golden. Priest is just so garbage in this meta and I guess I picked the worst time to farm wins for this class.
I'm going to try and remain optimistic with this deck since I've always liked the playstyle that these sort of decks offer, but I can't help but be skeptical that you just get crazy good luck with your match-ups and Yogg rng. In all 3 games where I've even lived long enough to play Yogg, my deck was almost depleted and playing him only served as an alternative to conceding. Watching Yogg hand the win condition over to my opponent on a silver platter was more fun at least. Same goes for Elise, this isn't the first deck I've tried her in this meta but I swear I've only gotten to actually play my monkey twice without impending doom.
N'zoth control priest is the only deck I've had any reasonable success climbing with since Old Gods patch.
Would love to see a guide since I do appreciate you posting this deck and think it has a lot of promise. For all i know, maybe I'm just playing it completely wrong /shrug.
You should be farming Priest wins in wild. Lightbomb is OP
