This is a sick deck, thank you. I'm not legend (yet) but I got 7 wins in a row with this deck just trying it out! Thank you!!!

Bog Creeper is a taunt with nice stats. He's hard to remove, and once he's dead, you have a chance to resurrect him... Against aggro decks he's like an inverse board clear, but he's also good against control decks. He counters Call of the Wild, Doomhammer, Raging Worgen... When I added the 2nd one my win rate increased immensely. Without Bog Creeper I likely wouldn't have been able to reach legend with Priest.

As a Priest I like to have minions that I can heal.

This deck doesn't have enough Barnes-worthy minions, considering the risk of Barnes summoning Onyx and Onyx resurrecting Barnes.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I will write a more extensive guide as soon as I can.

Embrace the Shadow is an anti-aggro card. Forbidden Shaping is an anti-control card. If you replace Embrace the Shadow with Forbidden Shaping you'll be considerably weaker against aggro. Shadow Madness might diminish this problem, but I don't think it's ideal. In my opinion Embrace the Shadow is not replaceable.

Kibler's Priest has nothing in common with mine, apart from being a Resurrect Priest. Just use your eyes. And no, my deck is not a budget deck. I didn't try to find a cheap version of Resurrect Priest, but rather the best version.

There's just PW: Shield. This deck has good topdecks (Bog Creepers etc.) instead of card draw.

I did try Yogg and Arcane Giants, I also had a 2nd Embrace instead of a 2nd Auchenai at some point.
- When I used Yogg, my win rate dropped, but I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because you don't need to yolo all that much with this deck. You can just play the long game and win.
- Bog Creepers are very strong in this deck. As soon as I added the 2nd one things got so much easier for me. Against aggressive decks Bog Creepers are like inverse board clears. 8 health is not easy to remove, especially not against a Priest who can heal his minions. And once your opponent manages to kill your Bog Creeper, usually by spending valuable resources, there's a chance you can resurrect him... The taunt is indeed crucial. You don't need 8/8-Giants when you can win the long game just by surviving. For survival you need taunts.
- It's important to have a good Resurrect as soon as possible. Auchenai is a good Resurrect. Sometimes you can screw your opponent just by resurrecting Auchenai over and over again, combined with Circle, Flash Heal or Darkshire Alchemist, whatever fits the situation.

Playing Auchenai on turn 4, then ressing her over and over again (combined with Circle in the right moment) is a sure way to win. With so much pressure you don't have to worry about your health anyway, and if you find some Flash Heals you can get turn-8-lethals (speaking from experience), but if you're less lucky and can't play Auchenai-Resurrection, then Auchenai-Circle becomes even more important when it comes to getting back on the board and staying alive. I don't have a problem with the combo of Auchenai and Priest of the Feast neither. You just have to plan ahead and do things in the right order. Personally I think Auchenai and Priest of the Feast are both way too good to be missing.

Ragnaros is blind, which makes him inferior to Al'Akir in a deck with Flametongue and Rockbiter. I'd like Justicar if she allowed shamans to build two totems in one turn, but last time I checked she only allowed me to pick the totem I wanted.
Viable replacements for Al'Akir would be Bloodlust, Doomhammer or a 2nd Thunder Bluff Valiant, and I can't tell you which of them is the best at Lvl 9, because I'm not at that Lvl and hence don't really know the current Lvl-9-meta. Against Control Warriors a 2nd Thunder Bluff would be the best and Doomhammer the worst. Generally Bloodlust is good if you need to race decks that sooner or later allow you to have the board (f.e. Hunter, Aggro Shaman, Freeze Mage). Bloodlust can also work if you have to trade into bigger minions (f.e. against C'Thun decks), but it's bad against Zoolocks, because against Zoolocks you often struggle to get the board, and once you have it, you win anyway. Doomhammer is fine whenever you don't run into Harrison.
I suggest you try which works best for you while keeping these things in mind.
