Any thoughts? With the Adventurers, I've been having a lot of fun with this build! Very, very, VERY much a meme deck, but can pull off a lot of fun wins. I've been trolling D5 with this deck all day, mainly to complete the adventurers achievement, but I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it does.
I've also been tinkering with a Meeting Stone rally deck. Have you considered Darkmoon Statue as a 3-drop? I guess it depends how often you have a full board but it works well in my list.

Oh! I really like that idea! Will definitely try it out!
This deck kinda looks like tempo priest, but meeting stone is anti tempo... maybe it could use a couple tweaks.
I'd probably take out the dungeoneers, since they aren't guaranteed to reduce the spell cost (and they are worse 3 drops from Rally), or take out the shadow spells for holy smites and another luminance.
Also Kargal feels like it will rarely get a lot of value and is a bit clunky, maybe cut him as well.
Not a priest main here, so I can't say for sure how best to shake this one out, but it looks like fun. Just my two cents. :)

Kargal is definitely clunky in this deck - at times, though, it's provided a very pivotal win condition. But I do absolutely agree that I could experiment with what the deck looks like without him. Also agreed on the Dungeoneers! I think, based on Wizzlewix's comment also, that I'll swap them out for a Darkmoon Statue and another Scorpid. I initially thought the Dungeoneers would be great just for some card draw, but they are, as you said, terrible targets for Rally.
Nice list! It looks a lot different than what I'm trying to do though. Your deck is more mid-range / late-game focused with the deathrattle package. This deck I'm trying is heavier on the aggro / early game. It kind of plays like a Hunter deck, where if I don't win quickly enough, I know it's not going to win. I'm hoping the Shadow Priest package coming with the next expansion (hopefully?) will improve what this deck can do.
As for the bad Rally hits - I've actually taken Serena out since I posted this here. I also know the Dungeoneers are bad for Rally, but I've found them to be vital simply for the card draw. Then again, I could swap them out for Loot Hoarders, I suppose.
Fully agree on Apotheosis... it feels useless to play now. I may modify the list and swap them for Renews. Currently, though, I haven't been playing this deck much because I'm waiting to see what the next expansion brings to hopefully solidify this idea!

Honestly after toying with it, I think this deck is probably too greedy and doesn't end the game fast enough.

I fully agree - that's always the problem I face when I'm playing it. That's why I wanna just put it aside and focus more on what kind of Shadow Priest deck I can make instead.

Agree with above that Kargal is not a good fit. You definitely need another Scorpid.

Truly appreciate the feedback from everyone!
I just went back to making a rally-deathrattle priest today myself.
Apotheosis I just think kinda sucks now, it's so low impact. I think Renew is just better.
There's a lot of bad rally hits here I think you don't need. I like Serena in other priest decks, but not this one.
Here's what I'm running right now:
i got legend in a week with shaman elemental and you're stuck at d5 LOL
Congratulations! That makes you part of the 'Exclusive Club' called Anybody.

I'm really not a fan of that deck, I don't find it fun or entertaining to play.

Do you know how outrageously fun it is to Gift of Luminescence a Lightshower Elemental and watch Shaman auto-concede?
...still salty, that, that Demon Hunter just attacked through it with Illidari Inquisitor and won, though.
The path is clear for the worthy!
Here's what I think could maybe work in this meta. Katrana is actually great at turning all your little 1-3 minions into meaningful cards.
