I don't have the combo pieces, but I used this deck as the skeleton for my Deathrattle Quest Dragon Reno Priest. Climbed to Diamond 5 for the first time since the change in the rank system (I used to be Rank 5 all the time, but had a real trouble climbing since the change).
Just a note. In the past two or three months I have noticed a cycle (at least in wild): at the end and the beginning of each season/ month, players will choose more aggressive decks since they want to climb fast.
...
in the middle of the months, the meta is more combo oriented.
This is not a new trend. In the past it may not have been as noticeable in Wild though because most of Wild was just Big Priest and fast decks to counter Big Priest. But now you can face off against a wider variety in the format. For example, I just played three games against Warlocks in a row and none of them were the same deck. First it was a Cube Lock, then a Discard Lock, then I was surprised to meet a Reno Dragon Lock! If I had kept playing I probably would have been matched up with a Mechathun Lock next. :)
But yeah, the try-hards definitely come out in both formats at the beginning and end of each month looking for fast wins with aggro decks.
Nice one :)
Last night I had three matches against Warlock as well, ALL were ZooLock! This is when I changed my deck a little to be more control oriented and ranked from Diamond 5 to 4 with a 4-0 win rate (before the changes I lost more than I won).

At these times, you either join the SMORC fiesta (which I don’t do well and don’t enjoy), or play control oriented decks. Combo decks and slow decks are bad for these times.
in the middle of the months, the meta is more combo oriented. This is where you have more freedom in your deck building.
if you are not sensitive to the meta, and just “want todo your own thing”, you will not win much and end up frustrated. This is why it is smart to have more than one deck and strategy.
By the way, this is also true in between ranks. Platinum is much harder on you and less forgiving than diamond 5.
play your style, but be sensitive to what is happening around you in the rank and meta, and than build a deck that fits that.
Thank you for the suggestions, I am now working on building a Quest Dethrattle Dragon combo Priest. I am around 50% winrate, going nowhere, but at least I am having fun. Next season...
Just a note: We are just 1 month since Demon Hunter entered the game, and this is already the 3rd big nerf this class is seeing. Something defiantly went wrong with the design of this class (an already upgraded Aggro oriented hero power with insane card draw mechanic, silence and direct burst damage effects you can do nothing about).
My latest unsuccessful idea was Arcane Giant for a spell priest. It was tones of fun to play with, and together with Grave Horror I had some extra board presence. Played it at the end of last season since I was at the bottom of rank 5 and didn't care to climb anymore. But as the new season hit it was clear, this card will not help me to climb as priest.
Have you ever had a moment when you wanted to craft an expensive card (Epic or Legendary) based on an idea you know is going to be bad of a deck you know that will never work, but you just have to do it for the fun of it?
What was the card, and what was the result of this endeavor?
I am having that moment right now... and was wondering how others handled it :)
I am sorry to hear that. that is really unlucky. I hope you are not giving up on the deck. Give it another try, don't be so tight on the combo pieces (meaning, use them when you can), finish the quest as soon as possible and seek victory not with the Leeroy combo, but with the Grave Horror one. Hope this helps.
What an amazingly creative idea!
Really good card. Will be an auto-include in any deathrattle deck. Nice.
Thank you for the deck!

Wrathion, by far. I played so many decks and games with it, had so much fun. I thought it was super good... I was the only one :
Thanks! Let's get to work, there is some Gold to earn.

Played against this deck, very strong... I lost.
Hi all,
My quest log is empty, I am a free to play, and I need 700 Gold as fast as possible.
Any ideas, tricks or constructive suggestions?
Thanks!
Thank you! Will look for some decklists.

Greetings,
I am looking for a good wild control priest. any suggestions?
Nothing in this game feels better than a well executed meme! …. Maybe hitting Legend for the first time....
This post actually touched me. Nicely written and well expressed. You are all doing a great job on this site!

A strong card with no punish whatsoever.
If you could play this Beast/Secret Hunter in Wild, how would you change/ build this deck?
