Iso some advice on my dragon priest deck.. I ve been messing around with it for a while...
Anyway im debating my 3 mana slot.. Currently occupied by blackwing technician..
I was thinking of switching them out, since they are dragon dependable... However a 5 body is nice for a turn 3.. Can compete with a decent amount of meta 4 mana cards..
The other standard contender for the slot would be dark cultist.. 3/4 body and decent deathrattle, however it can be easy played around imo..
I was thinking of eydis darkbane, or even fjola lightbane.. But I prefer eydis. Synergy with velens and pw shield
And the other one brann bronzebeard? 2/4 body and battlecry deathrattle triggers twice.. Has synergy with a lot of cards in the deck

Also Iso Some thoughts on switching the shrinkmeister for dw pain... Cause it only has synergy with cabal... Personally I keep it 8/10 times to combo it with cabal shadow priest to get an ysera or whatever is needed at the point.. The other 2 times I need a body or a favorable trade to get board control early... So im a fan of it, eventhough I run only one.. But Idk what is considered most efficiënt...

Would any of these be an upgrade to the technicians? Cause they have decent synergy, think I have 9 dragons, dont wanna count :<
I could also grab one of the legendaries and a cultist for example...

So iso some thoughts from actual decent players :p my knowledge is limited ;(
Thanks :)

-1 chillmaw
-1 chrommagus
-1 lightbomb
-2 blackwing tech

+2 pyromancer
+2 dark cultist
+1 sylvanas or voljin -- both help to sustain board. Paletress is a fun tech choice, but a lot slower then these two obviously.

I played the deck a little at legend the season tgt came out, and a tiny bit the following season.. I'm golden priest, and so I prefer standard control priest as most my time is played on more control base, but this is a good dragon deck. 7 dragons is enough for the decklist.

basically you need pyromancers to keep the paladins at bay, along with other face decks. -- and dark cultist is just a far more consistent 3 drop then blackwing tech, and arguably just better straight out.

I get where you are coming from but I already have a real priest control deck :) I just wanted to have something else for a change... Not always the same cards :/ and before I used a mech priest deck and now its dragons :) its a fun change and decently competitive... Def not the best, but its decent... The taunts deal decently with aggro and I have 2 nova's and if needed a double lightbomb depending on the board situation. Im not gonna argue, pyromancer is a great card.. But Idk, I just dont wanna get more to the standard control side... And with voljin it would be handy to run smite,,specially with all my spell power.. But I run him in my control deck and wanted to stay away from it :) eventhough I have seen popular dragon decks run it..
Also chillmaw is a keeper... It rarely fails me tbh and like i said I dont want the deck everyone uses with all standard cards.. Same reason chromaggus is in... Though he is excellent bait to play ysera next turn... And ive played a few games with 7 dragons and it often felt lacking..

How about cutting the blackwing techs for a dark cultist and eydis/branze.
I could also cut a lightbomb for sylvanas, i already did before obviously... But there were too many chances were i needed a lightbomb tbh... So i kinda wanna keep the 2 for consistency...
Sylvanas is a great card but a staple in any, especially, control deck...

But dont u feel people usually play around dark cultist? In 8/10 mirror matches his deathrattle is wasted :/

Its a decent deck but not enough dragons and too many staples :p I like my chillmaw and chromaggus, sylvanas is a great card but slow and control staple, d'r boom is a great staple and a BGH target.
Chromaggus and ysera not, chillmaw if not silenced will clear.. Zombie chow another staple, but i play him alot in my auchenai control deck so I wanted to avoid him..
Also I noticed he used double dark cultists. Noted them in op as a staple potential to replace my dragon techs.. But again its so staple so I was thinking of one of the legendaries in the op :o

Btw im flemish speaking but my french is more than fine ;)

You do have a lot of options with the deck.. Try the sisters if you like, it couldn't hurt.

Both/one? I feel like eydis pays off immediately but can hit face which would usually be unfortunate... Fjola is slower on the other hand but physically harder to remove...
What about bronzebeard.. Do you think I can get enough value out of this card? He should synergize well with alot of cards..
