Let's Talk Raza Priest Tech Cards( and mainly how to beat Renolock)

Spot on! And exactly reflecting my own thoughts.

I tried Deathwing and while it can win games, it's more of a dead card often enough. Of course there might be the chance to bait out ever removal against Renolock, but most of the time they have enough to handle our threats until t8 Jaraxxus with removal left afterwards. Against Jade Druid, he's golden, but again: teching for one matchup isn't healthy while weakening others.

We're in a very good spot against aggressive decks and Pirate Warrior comes mostly down to Reno t6 or Kazakus into 5 mana potion with armor (but even that doesn't help sometimes). Had never problems with Aggro Pirate Shaman, other Jade lists and Reno Mage.

It clearly seems like our big counter is Renolock and Jade Druid, while I think, that we can soften the losses against Renolock a bit more than against Jade Druid. Jade Idol is single handly the best anti-control card in a control deck and with it's low cost and the ability to put infinite copies of itself in the deck, it's just broken.
