This deck is quite underrated .I've never played priest in ranked before , started playing with this deck about mid season at rank 15.
Currently at rank 2 ( played this deck alone) with not much effort ( havent really played much , couple of ranks each day)
Thanx for creating this deck , for me it made priest 100% viable.

I took this deck (and only this deck) from rank 16 past my record of 14 up to rank 10.

I'm 13-0 with this deck after the reset. seems pretty good:)

FYI, a complete mirror matchup of this deck vs. itself. Happened by random in ranked play.
Spoiler: The priest won.

Just hit rank 10 for the first time ever -- this deck allowed me to break my record from rank 14 (last month). Much appreciated! Here's an updated list of my 157 standard ranked games between ranks 17 and 11. Games in which an opponent conceded on turn one are not included.
Classes
Rogue, and to a lesser extent Warlock and Paladin are such low sample sizes that the win rate could change significantly with just a few more games.

That sounds really interesting. How do you play Velen? I imagine you hope to resurrect him. I'm afraid to take Bog out because I have bad draws and he's saved me so many times from aggro.

It is known, that the measure of one's ability to pilot decks is directly proportional to the amount of time passed since he has downloaded the game.

While Barnes can have some nice early game synergy with expensive minions (2 x Bog, 1 x Sylvanas, 1 x Rag), there are still 9 cheap (5 or less mana) minions in this deck that wouldn't be useful to draw. Assuming you replace Darkshire with Barnes, you're only looking at a 1 in 3 chance of getting the sort of minion that you want... and even then the Bog Lurkers would only be useful if you resurrected them. So this doesn't strike me as a viable long-term strategy, otherwise you'd see a lot of other decks playing it. (Great fun in ranks 18-20, but likely not useful higher.)
As for Darkshire Alchemist, it's extremely useful in this deck. Aside from its obvious healing benefits, it's offensive capability with Auchenai Soulpriest or Embrace the Shadows cannot be overstated. The Auchenai + Circle of Healing combo often isn't available or suitable to play (say, if you've got a couple of minions on the board). But Auchenai + Darkshire Alchemist is great for removing minions like Azure Drake while gaining tempo in the process. Priests have so few single-target tempo plays that it's a great help when you can pull this one off.

I like the deck, it's consistent in the limited games I've played with it. For people that seem to think this is a "worse version" of other resurrect decks.
Maybe I've just gotten lucky but I'm liking the deck as-is so far.

I just played against this deck as Shudderwock and I won with 4x Lifedrinker (Zola, Grumble). It's just too much damage, considering the battlecries of the Control Warrior often don't trigger in the right order. Even if Cornered Sentry comes before Drywhisker Armorer, there's likely a Bloodrazor inbetween who kills the Raptors before you gain armor with Drywhisker.
After the expansion there won't be many Shudderwocks anyway, as people will want to try new decks first, but if Shudderwock will come back after some weeks and if Control Warriors will still be obsessed with the idea to counter Shudderwock with Azalina, then I'd tech in Spirit Echo as the Shaman. How about 6x Lifedrinker? That's 18 damage per mana = 180 damage in one turn. Good luck!

Glad you like it! I'm still experimenting with it (note the update), but I'm quite happy with the current version as I'm able to farm Shamans with a very high win rate.

Thalnos is multi-purpose and there's no proper replacement. You can take Novice Engineer, but she lacks the spell damage.

I won't update this list anymore, but I'll add links to my new Resurrect Priest lists, so for the update just click the link. ;)

Okay, I'll try to find more replays that are worth posting. You can find the links here http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/638370-s30-legend-resurrect-priest in the replay section.
With Cleric you'd also have to add Wild Pyromancer, which would change the deck quite a bit. Zetalot recently made this kind of deck, so if you're interested you can try it and see how it works for you: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/zetalots-mukla-control-priest-october-2016-season-31/

Cool. :) I'm a bit sad, because at rank 1 I suddenly only meet Malydruids. Do I have to make a deck against Malydruids now? I don't get this meta anymore.

So far I like Emperor. He enables me to use certain cards in the same turn, f.e. Entomb and Excavated Evil or Sylvanas, Auchenai and Flash Heal. I'm also wondering whether Cairne Bloodhoof would be a nice addition, but it's hard to make reasonable changes when you haven't lost any game yet.

I'm playing with + Holy Champion atm, you can see it under "After-Nerf-Update". This isn't definitive though, I'm just posting there what currently works well for me.

Darkshire Alchemist does 5 damage if combined with Auchenai or Embrace the Shadow, that's great synergy. You can check out the video I just posted to see how well these cards do in this deck: http://plays.tv/s/KzKIHOqZKlbj
