v3 Notes
Updated the list with cards that work the best for me after Uldum release.
Please ask your questions in comments, I will update this paragraph soon with more info :)
v2 Notes
I came up with what I think is a better version, removed Chameleos because of the problem with Zerek's Cloning Gallery and Bloodmage Thalnos because it's not so good for the Resurrect pool. Coffin Crasher is a lot better for both Zerek's Cloning Gallery and your Resurrect pool it and it also help to make space in your hand before playing Bwonsamdi, the Dead. This version just feels even better to play, give it a try if you enjoyed the previous version of this deck.
- - 1x Chameleos 1x Bloodmage Thalnos
- + 2x Coffin Crasher
v1 Notes
Thank you all for trying my deck! I read your comments and I decided to revert the list back to my original submission, which, honestly, seems to be more efficient than my previous revisions, so I will stick to it for now while trying to answer some of your questions.
Chameleos is really powerful in this deck. You can use it as an extra spell or as a support minion that you would want to add to your Resurrect pool. This card alone won me a lot of games and even if it happens you won't use it, it gives you a lot of insight to understand your opponent plan and can actually help you to survive long enough facing aggro deck. I understand it's not a very popular card so I'm not saying you should craft it. You can have a look at the previous revision of this list if you want some replacement ideas.
Holy Smite seems to do better than Silence, and can help you to remove a lot of 2-Cost early threats instantaneously. We still need some Silence options, so Mass Dispel is really helpful. I felt like running 2x was a bit too much, but again, it actually seems to be ideal for this deck. It can give you some tempo while saving your life and you even draw a card for free. Played in combination with Archmage Vargoth is pretty cool too!

Hey so here is the situation. I don't know why some of you don't appreciate kiwiinbacon. I'm not a big member of this community and I don't know why you blame him for something nor why all the downvotes. Truth is, I like his work. He featured one of my decks a while ago and I felt blessed to have a guy like this who were able to understand the concept behind the deck I was sharing. I believe that websites like HearthPwn gives us the possibility to share and build new things together. And I'm thankful for kiwiinbacon and his video, because he helps me to show you, HearthStone lovers, that it's possible to find good synergies with cards that nobody plays. That it's possible to have fun outside of the sick metas we always have while still being able to rank a little. That it's still possible to play Priest, despite the nerfs and class identity nonsense. Love to you all, love to kiwiinbacon for understanding this deck and for his amazing work. Have fun guys. Fun is all what matters ✌️ Pym
Hey guys thanks you all for the new comments/suggestions, I tried a lot of things and it took me a while but here is the updated version, enjoy!
I swapped out Nozdormu for Colossus of the Moon, it has great synergy with Zereks and rez cards
I love this swap! You're 100% right, the synergy is great
I'm lucky enough to have all the legendaries, so I didn't had to craft them.
With this deck you can easily farm the double battlecry shamans that are all over the place (SoU expansion).
Keep holy smite and even maybe mass hysteria.
The interaction of the 0/3 stealth and Bwonsamdi is pretty awesome!
Just 1 mana for a to play a massive minion.
The whole deck is just great synergy.
"bUt rEvIVinG A 0/3 minion iS a gArBaGe pLaY"
Come Saviors of Uldum, would be a good idea to replace Holy Smite with Penance and Holy Nova with Holy Ripple to keep up against aggro.
Also Embalming Ritual and Psychopomp have potential for this kinda deck and I look forward to it.
It seems like a great deck to try. I currently have to make a junk priest deck despite having even most of the priest legendaries just to do daily quests because my deck plotting fails epically every time so far and I absolutely would want to shoot myself in the face if I just ran a “double health, double health, attack equals health” priest like the majority of priest decks I see built ultimately ends up using as a hell Mary. It’s like an old Nintendo cheat code to me lol.
Anyway, I do not have Nozdormu although I do have Yessera and a bunch of other neutral legends. What cards do you feel best replace it? I was thinking Gruul because every copy of him despite being a 1/1 would gain 1/1 each round but then I decided until I heard other opinions my big bad “goal to duplicate” card would just be a weaponized piñata?
Token Druid stalled at rank 10 for me due to bomb warriors and mech pally type decks and cyclone mages just becoming rather troublesome and abundant so I got bored and pissy lol. Bomb warrior failed me at rank 8 for the same reasons.
I think Ysera is a pretty good one! For fun I would give a try to Hakkar or Da Undatakah. Gruul can work too but is maybe more easy to play around no? Anyway soon I will update this deck for Uldum and change a few things! A lot of good stuff is coming for Priest.
fun deck.But it made my rank from 3 to 5
Saw couple similar decks like this, You not the first one. Btw deck is getting better versus aggro decks after couple games, You just have to use well Your defensive cards and try to keep good hand if You see hunt, pally etc.
I love this deck so far! it's a lot of fun and also performs well against a lot of what is most popular on the ladder currently so I totally approve!
I had a blast trying this out so I made a video showcasing it in action. I really hope you all enjoy it!
Still riding hard on other people's upvoted deck.
Nice Deck! I swapped the Nozdormu with a mind control...even more fun ;)
The Chameleos can be nice, but with cloning gallery a it can also be a pain in the ass, if you res it. So better something else.
Nice deck man! I made a Ress Priest deck too, but cheaper and with some aggro counters. Can you check it? https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1287773-ressurect-priest-2-0-with-aggro-counters
Thank you in advance!
Have this a run and it needs a slightly lower curve to really come back from aggro. I managed to beat control shaman, midrange hunter, and that was about it. At rank 5, everyone is either memes or aggro trying to power thru that garbage rank, so everything else I faced was some form of aggressive shaman or token druid.
that being said, even with a losing record, this deck is extremely fun.
Nice rez priest decks with a few twists to keep your opponent guessing. Fun to play.
After 20 games straight about rank 9-14, NO it dont work at this rank
Nice deck, but yeah if you queue into Mech Hunter you can be destroyed by turn 6.
True. Also the main reason I reverted my recent changes back. Still the worst possible matchup :D
try adding a silence or two for something like a smite and chameleos. I have a similar deck without rez and mech hunter is my best match up. just let em magnet a good minion and silence/trade. Silence helps make ur zereck'd 1/1's full body so you could make bwonsamdi a 7/7 for free, and/or free him from ice is always nice. Great synergy. And """ I do want to add some mass rez and adapt my version now, this looks like a fun deck. I got mad (bro) and just been running silence combo priest for short games.
Ok, tested it even more, my current score with it is 12-4, which is awesome. I added 2 half-time scavengers instead of Nozdormu and 1 seance and it works very well. I almost beat control warrior with Elysiana, he only won cause he got 2 Deathwings out of Ely.
