So on the eve before the expansion it is time to see if we got any real tools to counter Big Priest.
Which new cards can really help contain this evil? I am not talking about new decks that can surpass BP but specific to cards to put in decks to help the matchup. Some candidates in my book:
Even so i used to climb to rank5 for a golden epic.
ps: i play only control/combo and it takes soo long wih priest and result is way less than 50%, so it is easier just to find ANY other deck to play with.

Basically, if you are playing any sort of slow control deck, eventually, they will spawn multiple copies with those stupid resurrections and you are finished. The only way to beat them is to kill them before they play these resurrections. Even multiple transformations are not enough since they can cheat their minions mot just with Barnes but with Shadow Essence that can also be cheated with Shadow Visions... In sum, they can summon, in theory, 5 minions before they play them actually, which would need you to run an specific that to counter them, which would be a shitty deck against anything else...
But, back to your topic, only Plague of Murlocs would fill the proposal (but only in an early game)...
Best answer to Big Priest is either super fast aggro or any type of battlecry Shaman deck that includes:
2x Devolve
2x Plague of Murlocs
Problem with this is that you have 4 cards in your deck that are utterly useless against most aggro decks, especially stuff like token-druid or recruit-paladin.
Zephrys can kind of counter Big Priest. It is super satisfying for example when they Barnes a 1/1 or res a low attack card and then you Cabal Shadow Priest it. Too bad though he isn't smart enough to offer plague of Murlocs against it
Whatever people say, it is still pretty hard to counter big priest as a non-aggro deck. I was running a Warrior deck with the 2/3 deathrattle which gives my opponent a 0/3 taunt, the 2/6 warrior taunt which spawns 3 raptors for my opponent and tinkmaster. Still I lost to many BigPriest. First of all Turn 3 Barnes is gg. And the 2/6 Archmage or Caterina Muerte is really frustrating to play against. I tried fucking up the rezz pool, I used more than 2 brawls but that guy kept resurrecting (I admit, he was lucky, pulling Vargoth into Caterina, or the other way around, was nuts). I am done with any non aggro deck in Wild, I will keep playing brainless murloc shaman because thats what Blizzard wants.

That's the same conclusion I came to. Only aggro/face/burn decks are viable and have a consistent gameplan in Wild, sadly

Some candidates in my book:
Definitely: Plague of Murlocs
Maybe: Plague of Death, Shadow of Death, Zephrys the Great (to get that poly or boardclear when needed)
Outsiders: Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron, Plague of Wrath
All in all not too many options sadly, hopefully other archetypes will surpass BP on their own
I would add Expired Merchant. If you use it with Soulwarden you can get a lot of DKs (or N'Zoths) so you might just outvalue big priest with Renolock.
it is a posibility but not specifically anti-big priest. doesn't help you if they have snowballed out of control too far already
Mad Summoner and some cheap boarclear spell.
I found a counter long ago=)
I click Consede not to waste my time and spirit.
Even so i used to climb to rank5 for a golden epic.
ps: i play only control/combo and it takes soo long wih priest and result is way less than 50%, so it is easier just to find ANY other deck to play with.
