I made an OP Summons priest deck that runs great removal like mass hysteria, mass dispel, holy nova, forbidden words, and the shadow word cards, with big minions like convincing infiltrator, witchwood, and stegotron, and especially archmage vargoth with resurrections cards.
I went straight from rank 20 to 4 currently with about 70-90% winrate on a big winstreak. Even mech hunter can’t deal with it most of the time.

Yep - the usual: Priest is the most irritating thing to ever be created. Resurrect is also the most broken mechanic ever. Any questions?

Everytime I see this deck (very rarely). I stop playing for a win and istead I wait for Zentimo. Its like 70% chance they would concede once 3 big guys get turned to frogs.

I’m sorry, but did you just say “Holy Nova” and “Great” in the same sentence?

Listen, losing both Psychic Scream and Duskbreaker broke us, man. We don’t know what’s good or bad anymore.

I’ve been playing a lot of wall priest as well but I’m very much 50-50 with it currently. Your early game is very minimal and any aggro is a very, very tough match-up. If you ever do get to play Mass Resurrection, you are in a superb position most of the time but surviving until turn nine is no cakewalk in the current meta.
It used to be way better but nowadays I regularly see Spellbreakers (and Saps and such) which are often enough to get through the “early” Taunts and seal the deal for the opponent. I mean, turns five through eight usually consist of dropping a single Minion on board - there’s quite a few decks that don’t have any problems dealing with that. And if you don’t draw your Mass Hysterias you are kinda screwed most of the time, IME.
In other words, massive congrats to the OP! You’re either way better a player than I am or phenomenally lucky with those sorts of winrate numbers!
I haven’t seen a single rez priest since rank 10
You could try excavated evil.
im pretty sure youll find a long list of wild decks people used to go from 20 to 4 …
Haven’t tried it (yet), but I started playing Dragon Control in Wild just so I could hear “MEDDLESOME INSECTS!” again. Totally worth it.
Also, holy Anduin on a pogo stick is Drakonid Operator a busted card.
Nobody tell him about bomb warrior or bomb hunter. Shhhh…
Resurrect is an annoying, difficult-to-balance, mechanic.
Who would’ve thought? Apparently, all the people consistently reminding Blizzard of it for the past 2 years or so…
It had to be. It was one of the cards in the lineup trying to bring the class off life support and finally, after almost two years, make Dragon Priest a viable deck in Standard. Who knows what kind of awesome cards it’ll take to revive the class after this expansion?

Says the person resurrecting a 6-month-dead thread?..
Side-note, resurrect Priest sucks in Wild. It might be popular at certain ranks but folds to most competitive builds.
