Decided to make a deck based on using Resurrect

Annoy-O-Tron's, Deathlord's, Sen'Jin's to try and slow down the aggro

All resurrect targets in the deck aren't bad even if you get an annoy-o-tron you broke even. Pulling a Northshire Cleric is probably the worst case scenario but sometimes the card draw can be helpful.

Shadow Madness, Holy Nova, and Lightbomb for board clear

Switched from 2 Shadow Word: Pain's and 1 Shadow Word: Death to 2 Death's and 1 Pain to help control bigger minions late game. Seems like the right move.

More time and experimentation with lightbomb needed to determine it's worth. Welcoming any and all feedback

Mulligans?

Typically I search for Northshire, Annoy-O-Tron, Deathlord, or Injured Blademaster in opening hand. These being 8 of the cards in the deck means you will most likely have at least one in your opening hand after mulligan. Depending on the match up Power Word Shield combos well with Cleric and sometimes Annoy-O-Tron since they will usually pop divine shield hoping to kill it next turn and it will throw off their plan. 

Resurrect?

Early game it Combo's well with Injured Blademaster's since they come out as 4/7's and early 4/7's are great in all match-ups. Early game vs. aggro is combos great with Deathlord's. Get them to spend removal and resources to remove the 2/8 taunt and follow it up by resurrecting another one for 2 mana. Against control Deathlord's can be a liability if they bring out something you can't deal with and sometimes it feels better to play that game once you have a Shadow Word: Death in your hand. On the flipside though pulling an Alexstraza from one against Freeze Mage can be an instant concede or pulling a Loatheb, Dr.Boom, or any big battlecry minion can help you later in the game when your opponent doesn't have that card to play.

Late game the more we get into playing our big minions the more value we start to see from Resurrect. Pulling Emperor Thaurissan back from the dead is always nice and obviously Ragnaros and Ysera are great too. Dr.Boom is still a 7/7 which isn't bad for 2 mana and Kel'Thuzad coming back can be a game winner if you can leverage that to trade your board knowing they're coming back.

Stalagg and Feugen...really?

Yes really. Goal of this deck was to maximize Resurrect value and that left me looking at the 5 mana slot,. Sludge Belcher's were out since we don't want to possibly resurrect a 1/2 taunt slime. Loatheb is a battle cry so Resurrecting that is just a 5/5. Vol'Jin unfortunately comes back as a 6/2. Azure Drakes don't give you the card draw so that was a no go. That left me with Stalagg and Feugen because their stats aren't bad and they add the possibility of Thaddius and the even crazier possibility of resurrecting Thaddius later. Plus they fill the 5 mana slot.
