Also why no shadow visions?

The deck does not run any crucial spells (such as the Inner Fire combo) and does not have the means to do a miracle-lie combo either (with Lyra the Sunshard), so there isn't really need for a 2-mana cycle.

Hunters and druids (with the exception of jade) are actually great matchups for control priests. Did you read the guide and are following it? I have no issues against these two classes (again, with the exception of jades) and am able to take them into late-game and win the value fight.

I respectfully disagree.

Sure, if you constantly get exactly the right card at exactly the right time, you will do fine. If not, this deck has no chance against these classes and gets overrun.

I just checked Tempostorm's meta tier list to see whether it's only me having good winrates against druids and hunters, but they seem to have made mid hunter control priest's best matchup, and aggro druid a decent matchup as well.
HSReplay statistics also show the same, with druid and hunter being very good matchups, with over 60% winrate.
So, it surely can't be only me.

Could you upload a few replays (around 3 of them would be good) to see what the core of the issue is?

I ran Midrange Hunter last season and I had a 50% winrate against this deck with most of those wins coming from excellent RNG on my part but even then it was a fight. There are different version of this deck floating around maybe try one of those? Brian Kibler was running a very similar version to this last season and he was, as usual, high ranked Legend with it.

Third question haha sorry. So are you guys going to make a different version of this deck anytime soon with the Lyra combo package? How could I replace in radiant elemental, Lyra, and shadow visions while still maintaining its core cards such as Auchenai, Circle of healing, and Medivh with Free from Amber?

It's possible that we will make one. I asked the HS authors and I am not awaiting response, but I expect it to be positive. 

Placing those cards in the deck is not that easy, actually. If you want to add miracle cards, in some builds it's actually Medivh, the Guardian and Free From Amber that should be replaced, as the deck will not focus on combo value, rather than board value. In some builds I saw, it's the tech cards that are taken from the deck, in this case it's Wild Pyromancer and Golakka Crawler. If you want to add more miracle cards, I recommend building the deck from scratch, pretty much.

Like @positiv2 said, we are still awaiting a response on any incoming decks. In the mean time here is a list that Brian Kibler used last month and he had great success. It's along the lines of what you are asking for except this version doesn't run Auchenai Soulpriest or Circle of Healing. If you would like to see it in action check his videos out on YouTube, pretty fun to watch in my opinion. Here is the deck, hope it helps.

I got lucky enough to pick up Elise the Trailblazer with the three free packs, so I made this deck.

so far, im really impressed with it, lots of fun. The Medivh / free from amber combo is especially nasty.

Yes it is. Without an answer from your opponent it can get out of hand.

Usually with this deck, you are dead before you can even think of that combo. It simply takes too much damage.

No wonder, Kibler (see above) put two taunts and two priest of the feast in it.

[Guest Coooper]

Any advise how to deal with secret mages? They simply blow me away with their damage spells.

 

Same question for hunter secret decks. Weapon plus hero power alone do 5 damage per turn, just dont stay alive without taunts and healing cards.

How about adding the Lyra package? It will give the deck tons of value, consider the potential of Lyra plus radiant elemental,using shadow vision to grab more aoe spells or even the token pack from Elise.

This deck already runs a combo of Medivh, the Guardian + expensive spells (notably Free From Amber), and running more combos that require you to stack cards is not advised. If you want to play Lyra the Sunshard, I recommend playing Dragon Miracle.
