Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

"Midrange Priest? Are you crazy?"

Crazy, maybe. But I assure you that this deck is better than you think it is.

It's not supposed to be an early-game-hero-power type of priest deck, oh no. You want to curve out with Northshire Cleric, Huge Toad, Injured Blademaster and Argent Horserider. If you have coin, consider also keeping Holy Champion and Priest of the Feast.

Onyx Bishop can be insane if you revive Ragnaros or a Bog Creeper. However, you usually shouldn't save it just for these occasions. Play it on turn 5 if you can. As long as a minion has died this game, it's worth it. Almost every minion in the deck has Onyx Bishop synergy, so don't be scared to not get something. Reviving a Huge Toad is still tempo for 5 mana. Reviving an Argent Horserider is very annoying for your opponent to deal with.

Holy Champion is a card not usually used in Priest decks, but it's preeetttyy good in this one. Often the opponent will try their best to remove it, only to face it again when it gets revived. They also just used up some of their removal, leaving a higher chance for Ragnaros or another Holy Champion or Bog Creeper to survive. Holy Nova is also great comboed with this card.

2x Holy Smite, 1x Shadow Word: Pain, 2x Shadow Word: Death, 2x Holy Nova and 1x Entomb will usually satisfy all your removal needs in a game. Holy Smite especially can be used with Azure Drake for value.

Despite doing better than expected, I don't believe that this is the strongest version of the deck. I will experiment with different card replacements until I find one that feels right.

I will update the title if I reach higher ranks. Thanks for viewing!

P.S. I know I listed this as "Resurrect Priest" without Resurrect even being in the deck, but it's the closest option there was due to Onyx Bishop.
