The problem with priestess is that, by deck design, it reaches maximum consistency (there is no "if I got that card…" thinking because they will always get their important cards) AND maximum uninteractivity AT THE SAME TIME. With those two conditions met at the same time, there is basically no competition with the deck, still.
Apart from rare situations like SK playing Kambi to deny Roche or well-timed Cantarella or Quax there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop priestesses to get their value.
As long as priestesses have, even conditional, zeal, they will haunt other noble players using honorable decks. I'd go even further – even with zeal removed, how do you stop two characters of potentially 5+ points turn after turn (assuming two Priestesses are played with Roche)? Not every deck has 3 removals / control tools in R3 to remove 2x Tridams and Trolo…
What is more, Priestesses now have a new BFF – TrissBut…
