Pffff the plague of death on heroic (first phase) is horrible... I have done it now 3 times and only took around 50 hp ... I have great decks but just can't deal any damage vs walls and walls of obsidian statues ...
I also have a highlander priest build but it's different than the one above. I find spawn of shadows typically better, although I don't have the emporer. Skulking geist can be replaced with other techs if needed. My deck list is:
Btw your remark about early game for dragon priest: a 2/3 on 1 and a 2/4 taunt on 2 are not enough?
Interesting enough list. Not sold on Skulking Geist, it's too niche for my liking.
There are plenty of counter punches to a 2/3 on 1 and a 2/4 taunt on 2, even if played on curve. Dragon Priest is 100% about getting the most mileage out of your minions, if you can get nothing to stick on board early enough you are in dire straits. It needs some manner of early game protection be it via spells or other health buffing minions to be really consistent.
Thanks yeah added skulking for the jades i encountered and mecha tun druids. When you don't encounter them other early game or emporer thausarian (for otk potential) would work, although that's a win more

Have you ever played against secret mage & mech pally with Dragon Priest? I have. When Big Priest was the go to deck for Priest in Wild I was running Dragon Priest. Had mixed success with it. Mixed means exceptional result from Rank 10 to Rank 5 not so much after Rank 5.
Nope, haven't played dragon priest this season. But I was responding to your early game remark of dragon priest and that it would make dragon priest viable. I would say it has good early game already with that kind of cards. I don't think there are a lot of minions with that kind of stats for the cost (without other downsides that is).
I'd also like to see a return of something similar to the old Machine gun Shadowreaper Anduin lists but Raza is definitively not the way to make that work. Oh, and Mind Blast support that doesn't require such huge windup time would also be nice.
Well I play the below list (with raza) and it's doing well. Needs refinement probably, but it's winning enough. You are still able to do 26 damage in an ideal scenario.
Won the third plague boss in one go with the first try with elise. Not because of an amazing pick of buckets but because of the following:
I choose as my second treasure VIP membership. Which grants you an upgraded tavern (had no idea what it was but seemed like fun. For everybody that doesn't know you get 6 coins to spend and your and the innkeepers board is filled with 7 minions)
Well that was nothing to special but I liked it. But now comes the kicker with the second tavern I got to pick (for 4 coins) one of bob's bombastic decks which replaces your entire adventure deck! Again no clue what it was but seemed like fun. Turns out I got a 30 card deck with only pogo-hoppers.
The next two bosses I beat before t5 and the plague lord was more difficult but even when he cleared my board 3 times (and not overcommitting) I could pop out around 2 20/20 (and growing minions after every clear. So down to 4 health and I had a big enough board to kill the boss (who was at 68 hp)
Do long story short: if you like a gamble get the VIP membership ;-)
Hey man, it has a 8.67% winrate, with a sample size of 1,000 games that is 67 wins you didn't account for. You need to give the deck a bit more credit, if you round down then you will make an almost decent deck look bad.
But no, I agree with you, this deck is just sad.
Well it crawled up to 9% so maybe there is hope? ;-)
But even for a meme the deck has a very low winrate and "regular" steal priest would perform better and having as much fun as this deck
I've one-shotted the first boss 3 times, and the second one once. I also had to fight the second boss a second time, and his health pool was saved as it's supposed to be. Looks like this problem is only affecting some players. Maybe a mobile issues? My sympathies to those getting screwed. The bosses are hard enough as is.
Almost beat him first try (down to i think 70 HP) I just got completely BTFO by RNGesus - the random murloc summons/transforms gave the boss 4! (FOUR!) Old Murk-Eyes over the course of the fight that each went straight face for 10-20 dmg each. I honestly think those were the only face hits the boss got on me, but obviously all it needed...still though that was very fun and I look forward to more!
Same thing happened to me. He had no other way of dealing damage to me (the summon extra legendary for free is busted, especially with Silvanus
Well the priest deck brought me from r8 to 5 in no time. Needed to adapt to the playstyle a bit (when to start drawing cards etc) for the first two matches but after that only lost 1 other matchup.
Ah, man. I guess I won't be running Stonehill Defender in my 'jam as many White Eyes as possible in here' deck, anymore. It already doesn't find them very consistently!
What card d'you guys think prompted this change to Discover? Perhaps Dr. Boom's hero power?
That + Fluncky (always finding armagadillo) and omega assembly. I guess they didn't want to nerf those cards after just nerfing dr boom so they went on changing the mechanic...
The discover change is a good nerf for warrior with their pool of mechs and taunts to discover.
However for Wild the change sucks and makes discover options a lot worse because of the bigger card pool as opposed to standard. Maybe the smart deck builder has an answer to that though.. ;-)

Yeah avoided it, especially because most of the time the treasures and/or hero items are one or two mana so I would destroy those power houses..

Wow an 8.5 % winrate on hs Replay... You don't see those kind of % often
Yeah but can't edit it now, no idea why i wrote it that way lol
I'm on mobile and didn't have the problem (yet)
Same here all fine

I like that I can play my secret burn mage r5 and manage to win quite a few matches. The decline in warrior made this possible :-)

Now onto wild and/or memming hehe
That would be a great keyword, why has nobody come up with that one ....
