Below is the deck I'm having some fun in wild with. I have a few solid deathrattles in Dark Cultist and Cairne Bloodhoof to supplement some of the resurrect and powerful midgame minions/spells. Dr. 7 is obviously super strong, but his deathrattles don't synergize all that well with N'Zoth or Onyx Bishop. Would Sludge Belcher be a good replacement here for synergy and to protect my board, ideally Blademasters in the mid game? The 1/2 taunt is kinda a terrible resurrect, but at least it's still a taunt. I took out shredder, who is also op 4 drop because I don't want to resurrect a random 2 drop most of the time.
If Sludge does seem like the right choice, any suggestions on what to drop?
In my opinion you could replace either cleric and shrinkmeister with them since your running onyx bishops, or you could get rid of the onyx bishops for them. Onyx bishop also doesn't feel good with vol'jin in your deck.
It looks to me that there are too many minions. I would cut some of them:
dr boom
voljin
darkshire alchemists and holy champions.
add sylvanas, shredders and tech aoe vs aggro or entomb vs control.
Unfortunately, that turns it into a control deck, which isn't really what I want for this one, got a few of those already. Holy champion could maybe go, but it's a decent body for a 4 drop that can snowball if opponent didn't burn removal. I agree that Alchemist is a bad body for it's mana cost, but this card alone has won me so many games whether it's trading efficiently or getting me out of burst range. Vol'jin is tricky, I don't run much hard removal and he's really strong against control or buffed minions so he's often a shadow word: death while likely developing a bigger body than I traded. Obvious anti synergy with Onyx Bishop but same with shrinkmeister and usually cleric. Boom can easily go, I have enough late game with N'Zoth and Rag, that's the card I was planning to be one of my cuts. Maybe worth switching Cairne for Sylvannas, I've kinda been debating that the last few days. Thank you!

Yeah, both cleric and shrink are BAD with Bishop, but I almost never play them in the early game, shrink is for efficient trading or cabal/pain shenanigans. Cleric is actually super important part of this deck, a board centric priest can draw like crazy and blademasters are a very good partner. And I guess I'm just super biased, but I love Vol'jin, he can be super powerful and his effect is just so unique.
If you need a deathrattle taunt, you could go with Deathlord, he's pretty good in Priest.
I think deathlord, while generally bring a very good card in priest, just doesn't have a place in this deck. I lack a lot of AoE or single target removal so I can't really risk giving my opponent a free big minion. Kinda why I was thinking Belcher even though he is a lot slower when played

Battlecry: Give the OP two Bananas
Deathrattle: Replace the OP with Ragnaros the Firelord
cut doctor boom? Man, how times have changed.

Is your deck a Hearthstone deck? If the answer to that question is Yes then Sludge Belcher probably belongs in that deck.
