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
Deck gets destroyed by aggro lol
how can i change zerek?
Zerek's Cloning Gallery is a central card for this deck, offering synergies with most minions except Chameleos.
not bad, although Nozdormu is kinda strange choice. Also, not really that many cheap spells to discount your Grave Horror cards. Usually you would see Call to Arms and Banana Buffoon and others to generate cheap spells.
*Extra arms
Regarding Nozdormu, I just answered here.
And about Grave Horror, I know that people are used to play it with a lot of cheap spells to discount it, but in this deck it's used as a Taunt with solid stats to protect your more dangerous minions in the game. Also when Grave Horror dies while you have a Spirit of the Dead on board, the copy that will go to your deck will be considered as a 1-Cost minion. Which means that Bwonsamdi, the Dead will eventually draw it and its cost will instantaneously be reduced to 0. So when you play Bwonsamdi, you should be able to build a small army in the same turn!
Tried at at rank5. Feels good and works, but as already pointed-out it sometimes lacks against aggro. Therefore I replaced Nozdormu with a Forbidden Words (even though I like the idea of Nozdormu and I always belived it's not just a meme).
I just love how no one expects the Spirit of the Dead and Bwonsamdi, and of course Nozdormu.
Yeah, some general tips would be nice.
Thx a lot. Was looking for this kind of deck for a while too.
After testing many games, I have a correct ratio with it. It's a good off-meta deck, but we already know it strugles against face aggro. However, the list is brillant for this kind of decks. And I have tried to make a lot work, so good job here !
Nice choice also on Nozdormu which is more than a meme card. So it makes the deck even more original. And I win a lot with it, mainly because opponnents don't know how to play against the deck and end up with quick non-optimal plays. But the dragon also punishes slow players, in the street, used to take 45s before going face with boring murloc or hunter decks.
I love this deck! I love Bwonsamdi, and I've always tried to make him work in a deck with taunts, and I think this is finally the best formula I've seen!
This looks like a fun concept, but getting to legend might be tough. Definitely play what you enjoy, but keep in mind that the climb from 5-legend is a lot harder than the climb from 15-5. In terms of a competitive build, this deck is trying to do too many different things, there's already a well refined (if not spectacularly powerful) res priest list out there that can definitely get you to legend.
Can you add Mulligan guide please? And some strategy tips?
Tried it from 5 to 4,going 7-2 for now. I can confirm it works well. Might be overwhelmed by agro sometimes. I replaced Nozdormu, cause this card is a meme. For now running Yzera, but I think of replacing it with some 4-drops. There is enough value generation in deck, but it lacks early threat handling.
Anyway, thank you for the deck, its fun to play priest again. I ll report on my progress
Thanks for trying it! I reverted the list back to my original submission, which deals with aggro a bit better. And I would be happy to hear the report on your progress! :)
Looks intressting, definetly goona try it!
However may ask why the inclution of nozdurmu instead of ysera or alexstrasza?
Because Nozdormu is underrated. First it's very annoying for everybody to deal with. When you got it on board, your opponent will want to remove it asap. Ultimately you want it to sit in your deck, play Zerek's Cloning Gallery then revive it later with Mass Resurrection. It's also excellent in combination with Spirit of the Dead/Bwonsamdi, the Dead and of course, the great Catrina Muerte.
To go back to the annoying part, most decks can heandle a single Nozdormu very easily. But they can't deal with a Nozdormu that keeps coming back, especially if it's surrounded by Taunt minions that keep coming back too ;)
It's really an essential part of this deck that will also speed up the late game (no 30 minutes long games against Warrior for example)
Looks cool, I'm gonna try it (rank 10) and see. I replaced Nozdo with Ysera because I don't have Nozdo and anyway I prefer Ysera ^^.
