Priest lost a lot of tools in Standard, cards like Zombie Chow, Deathlord, and Lightbomb all exited the format and left a pretty large hole for the class.

Update: +1 Forbidden Shaping, +1 Shadow Word: Pain, +1 Acidic Swamp Ooze, +2 Thoughtsteal, -1 Embrace the Shadow, -2 Holy Champion, -1 Harrison Jones, -1 Hogger, Doom of Elwynn

      Second Pain and maybe Elise Starseeker. Entomb is pretty tough to replace.

    Zetalot can make any priest deck viable… Even in this meta

      I’d do Sylvanas since it works so well in many decks. Justicar you could go second Holy Nova.

    This deck is quite decent. I would recommend putting in an Excavated Evil and cutting one Thoughtsteal though. Currently it seems like you’ll come up against aggro twice as often as control, and Thoughtsteal is a pretty poor card against Shaman/Zoo. 3 Mana to put a Tunnel Trogg and an Eternal Sentinel or Possessed Village and Darkshire Councilman in hand is nearly useless when you’re getting face’d.

    The Darkshire Alchemists and Flash Heals are huge in this deck and nearly as important as the AOE.

    Not enough Spell to clean the board, can’t handle zoolock. I guess we need Excavated Evil.

    Does Cabal even find decent targets in Standart?

        Here’s the decks that are popular that have decent targets: Any C’Thun deck, Zoolock, Renolock, Aggro and mid-range Shaman, Aggro Paladin, Deathrattle Rogue, Tempo Mage, Dragon Priest, Any Priest, Any Warrior, Summoning Stone Druid, Any Hunter. So there’s more then a few targets, and PLENTY of decks being played with good targets.

    There aren’t enough low mana cards in this deck for it to be viable.

      You realize this is Zeta’s deck? Pretty sure he can make a viable Priest list

      When has Priest EVER played low mana cost cards? (Excluding Circle Heals, Flash Heal. Cause you don’t play those early.)

    Replacement for Harrison and Hogger?

      Holy Nova for one. If you have Cairne Bloodhoof that could work for you, or you could just try a Shadow Word: Pain.

        Thanks Evident. I’ll try with second Holy Nova and a big minion like Ysera or Rafaam instead of Hogger. Maybe even Ragnaros. 😀

      Ooze and Ysera

    Can i replace Entomb with something?

    • Evident - Author
      April 30, 2016 at 8:11 AM

      Second Holy Nova and maybe a Holy Fire. You’ll struggle with this deck without Entomb.
