What are good counters for res priest? Thinking of cards that make resurrection less worthwhile, such as Polymorph or Hex. Albatross can just not be played, so not sure how good that can be. Any neutral cards?
Leeroy Jenkins: a good number of aggro decks already have this auto-included. The problem is obviously that afk priest can literally sit out early game and Leeroy's not really going to help those decks. Using this finisher as a resurrect pool diluter could work but this card by itself probably won't help you win unless you've been blessed by unholy amounts of RNG luck
Tinkmaster Overspark: may also help vs big Priest minions but more often than not you'll still face a 5/5 threat. It also doesn't really dilute the pool.
Mad Summoner: only really viable in handlock decks, where you can combo this otherwise deadweight card with Plague of Flames or Impferno (via Twisted Knowledge obviously since you wouldn't tech the latter in your deck)
Muck Hunter: Utterly worthless. Genuinely useless in most match-ups.
Unseen Saboteur: not really worth it. By the time you play this, Priest will most likely already have enough minions in the dead pool. Wasting a Plague of Death or Mass Resurrection is not all that detrimental to priest.
Mind Control Tech: meh. If you've allowed priest to build up 4 minions, you often have already lost.
Tanglefur Mystic: Good for above rank 15 where Priests may occasionally forget about their pool, but obviously not viable against any remotely decent opponent. On the plus side, you can fully BM your opponent in the knowledge that they were the one that misplayed.
Fishflinger: see above. There's some potential for meme rogue decks where you fill up your opponent's hand with murlocs but probably not too viable.
In terms of neutral cards, Leeroy Jenkins is the only realistic one, as it is the only one that's good on its own. The others will hurt your other matchups too much (as most tech-cards do).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I had built a deck specifically for this purpose.
I included Zul'Drak Ritualist, Leeroy Jenkins and Mad Summoner
There is also plenty of other cards which summon just 1 card for the opponent Hungry Ettin
Rusty Recycler
Ironic. It could recycle others, but not itself.
Zul'Drak Ritualist
(Neutral taunt that summons three random 1-cost minions for your opponent).
I've teched it in before. Kind of a useless card in most matchups but made a few res priest players instant concede.
Polymorph... Just made a priest ressurect like 10 sheeps!!! :'D
Tinkmaster Overspark, if you have it in your collection, is a decent choice. Both outcomes are beasts which also messes up Druid's Witching Hour.
My two cents (standard + neutral cards):
Yeah its called LoR.
On a serious not. Tinkmaster is probably in the best time for him to be played
Man, nothing sweeter than playing Zentimo and Hex on 3 priest minions. I genuiely get aroused by that feeling.
