Also, something that many seem to miss / skip / ignore - pay very close attention to the Secrets and learn how to play around them. And since it's Highlander, be aware that there is only usually ever one of each Secret. Opponent already used their Freezing Trap? Attack away. Not seen an Explosive Trap yet? Make sure your minions have enough health to survive.
And the golden rule: You don't ALWAYS have to attack on your turn. Stop and think: Will losing my whole board / big minion lose me the game right now?
Quest Resurrect Priest, with Elysiana, has been very effective for me. They can pressure me all they want, which just means I can heal more. And between rezzing Convincing Infiltrator, Catrina Muerte and High Priest Amet, they don't have board control, ever. Just do NOT attack blindly into secrets. I don't care about Secrets, because I'll win fatigue. And if they Zul'jin, I have Plague of Death.
I like the rise of Highlander Hunter, because it's a deck that requires some amount of reading your opponent's hand to play, but also to play against. Like Scorpyon said, always think about what Secrets you want to attack into, and which you don't.

Playing Highlander and Resurrect Priest - Hunter is a great Matchup.
Especially Resurrect Priest is pretty nuts vs Hunter.
Double SWD, double Mass Hysteria, double Penace, Plague of Death, Silence, taunts taunts and taunts, 2 x Mass Resurrection, gg hunter
Secrets ? i rly don’t care, don’t attack, just sitting there building up my board waiting for removal or AOE, he can’t kill you slowly because you can heal any incoming damage.
I play quest Paladin and it's doing great many decks. Tryto survive until turn 5 when you can keep copying eggs/ taunt reborn minions. Watch out for Zephrys however (mass dispell), keep something in hand in case Zephrys clear the board (minions, Kangors,...). Hunter loses a lot of tempo with useless rat trap vs Paladin.

Token Druid is total garbage.
I beat with my dragon control shaman. Chief Inspector is very good, with Shudderwock can remove secrets 2 times.

i play alot of higlander hunter lately went from rank 11 to rank 5 without real problem.
Token druid, Quest Shaman or mirror highlander hunter are the deck i have most trouble beating
For Rez priest i didnt saw any while ranking from 11 to 5 so i cant say if its a real counter, but on paper it looks like it.
No? Its not? Maybe it isnt as popular now, but i had a positive winrate with trumps token treant deck
