I have played dragon priest almost exclusively since gadgetzaan standard, and changed to playing wild as my format of choice once standard rotation occerred after that set. With the release of kobolds and catacombs, this deck was severely powered up by twilight acolyte and duskbreaker, and corridor creeper to an extent. While standard dragin priest relies on the inner fire combo or spiteful summoner to stay powerful, wild gives access to cards like wyrmrest agent, twilight whelp, twilight guardian, and voljin, which allows the deck to play a powerful tempo game while also having access to powerful 2 for 1’s, one-sided board wipes, and undercosted minions. i have been keeping track of my winrate against different strategies, and have found this deck to be heavily favored against aggro, and still around 51% against midrange and control. This is my first post, so as i’m new to the site, im not sure how to import my stats just yet, however i achieved a 70% winrate with this deck, falling just short of legend, mainly due to time constraints. 

In every matchup, try to keep 1 and 2-drops. Against aggro, you want duskbreaker, and corridor creeper only if you have duskbreaker. Against control, keep corridor creeper and twilight acolyte. Against midrange or tempo, keep corridor creeper, search for northshire cleric aggressively, and find dragonfire potion. The key to this deck is building a dominant board-state early, so avoid keeping anything with cmc greater than 3 unless i listed it above. For anyone who tries this list, feedback is greatly appreciated. 

As for possible changes:

Primordial drake- if you want to hedge against aggro even more.

Shadow visions-good if you want more iptions against control.

Azure drake- also good against control. I chose kobalt scalebane instead to hedge against more tempo creature based matchups.

Brann- very powerful card, however the advantage he provides is sometimes not worth it unless you have very specific draws, and he is very bad to have out if you play vol’jin or twilight acolyte, so i chose to leave him out.
