Hey guys! This is TrAcErHS and I’m back at posting some cool a.s decks! But today it’s going to be a deck of my friend that just got legend from rank 3 with an insane winrate of 76%!!!!

Strategy and Gameplan
All you need is to survive and clear the board frequently until turn 6 if you don't get Barnes early.
Against aggro decks you should start to spam as fast as possible. It doesn’t matter how big your minion is! 1/1 or 5/5. All minions are super valuable in the deck. Lich King and Ysera could give you a great AoE spell to shut down early aggression from opponent and Obsidian Statue has own hard removal ability besides 4 or 8 heal! great tool for you to stand against aggro decks. The tricky ones are Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound and Barnes. Pulling first one out can give you the game and the other one can lose you the game.
Against control decks take your time, move slowly and do not overcommit the board then get rekt by massive AoE cards like Twisting Nether.!
Mulligan Guide
Barnes is a must keep card against all classes and decks. If you get him at start hand better to keep 1 Eternal Servitude too. If you don't get him at start hand then you can keep 1 Shadow Essence against aggro decks and 1 or 2 of them against control decks, because that card is your second "Barnes".
I am not gonna spam same cards, just keep Barnes and if he is missing then keep 1 Shadow Essence against all decks. And mulligan list is mostly for aggressive and tempo decks. Against control decks (if you are sure) always hard mulligan for Barnes.
* Druid: Potion of Madness - Shadow Word: Pain - Shadow Word: Horror
* Hunter: Potion of Madness - Spirit Lash - Shadow Word: Pain
* Mage: Shadow Word: Pain
* Paladin: Potion of Madness - Shadow Word: Pain
* Priest: hard mulligan for Barnes
* Rogue: Silence - Spirit Lash - Shadow Word: Pain
* Shaman: Silence - Shadow Word: Pain - Shadow Word: Horror
* Warlock: Potion of Madness - Shadow Word: Pain
* Warrior: Potion of Madness - Spirit Lash - Shadow Word: Pain

Some people say that this deck is doing bad against Rogue. I don't aggree with that. As you see i only lost 1 game to Miracle Rogue and won 4 game against Keleseth Rogue. This deck has tons of early and mid game removal/AoE which helps you clear the aggressive opponent's board.
Bad Matchups: Weaknesses of the deck are having no super late game win condition. You have to gain board advantage at turn 8-9-10 (if you get 4 drop its game at turn 5 or 6 usually ) then finish opponent with slamming down big threads and smashing his face. So you should win quickly against Jade Druid before going infinite, Kazakus Priest before Prophet Velen slapping your face with 32+ damage and Quest Mage before collecting all pieces of forbidden one and summoning unstoppable EXODIA.
Another weakness is “Dragon” card. We always throw Dragonfire Potion into mid-big boards, BUT what if there are Dragons flying around? That's why Handlock is a bad matchup for this deck. Beside the 2 Twilight Drake they also run 2 Mountain Giant and enough of removal/AoE cards to beat the hell out of us :)
Thanks for the attention! Enjoy the deck :) May the RNG be with you :)
I honestly can't see how your deck differs from any of the other big priest lists. It is the exact same minions as when the deck came out a month ago. And you even use the standard clickbait title.
Second Shadow Word Death would be fine but Anduin DK is broken af
I pretty much stopped playing the Big decks after my first shadow essence pulled Barnes out 90% of the time.
This. Last time I played Big Priest I pulled Barnes 4 out of 4 times playing shadow essence.
I used to play Big Priest similar to this deck without any success (┛❍ᴥ❍)┛彡┻━┻
Everyone has its own deck that they get lucky with :) you might be better than 90% of hs while piloting another deck ;) just like me and Patron Warrior :) 2.5k wins just with Patron
I am strugg-a-ling with this deck. Seems like I just have terrible RNG.
Sorry to hear that :( yeah this game is dependent ob RNG unfortunately(
A ton of variations out there for Big Priest decks: my edits to this deck list
-1 Greater Healing Potion -2 Silence
+1N'Zoth, the Corruptor +1 Cairne Bloodhoof +1 Shadow Word: Death
I prefer the continuity and consistency with the changes hereCairne Bloodhoof can be hard cast earlier with out feeling bad, and also creates a fun interaction with Barnes and Shadow Essence. Paired with Obsidian Statue and the obvious multiple summons of both makes playing N'Zoth, the Corruptor well worth it, also its a fun game stopper when your opponent thinks you are out of steam.
I've run into several games that go into fatigue due to bad RNG, and that N'Zoth, the Corruptor play at the end generally garners an auto concede. And an early Cairne Bloodhoof can easily turn into a tauren battlefield.
Updated with my deck list: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/949952-nzoth-big-priest
I’ll try Nzoth version! Sounds pretty fun! Thanks for sharing
Tried this one out and really like it - thanks!
Nice edits...this worked great for me. Except silence is soooo good in this meta, so I kept 1 Silence and dropped the Spirit Lash instead.
This is NOTHING new... I've founded this deck in the second week of KOTFT. Stop posting the same deck again and again and again if it's absolutely NOTHING special or new about it.
Any replacements for Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound?
Ultrasaur
A good replacement would be Cairne Bloodhoof, as you still get a good 4/5 with his deathrattle.
Same copy as any other big priest... You think you acomplished something by posting deck that we all know. Braindead ppl, braindead cancer meta
I did legend today with this deck but i dont run silence and anduin, are they usefull? , i run smites instead and x2 sw:d, i also like your advice about keeping shadow essence against aggro, i personally throw it away but thats probably a mistake, rogue is an annoying matchup but its very winnable, druids and priests are worse without a strong opening.
