First of all I really like the name of that priest legendary. Muerte - it means death in Spanish (I believe), which fits nicely to the resurrection mechanic. Secondly - dunno what to say about this legendary particular in Big Priest. In some cases she will be better than Kel'Thuzad, in other cases she will be underwhelming.
Let's say that you cast Shadow Essence into Catrina. If your opponent kills her, you can resummon her and she will immediately summon another copy of herself (unlike KT he has to wait until something dies). And if this isn't dealt with, she can go grossly out of control. In other scenarios if you have your Barnes killed, she can lowroll and resurrect him instead of something big. Not to mention, in an aggressive meta you want to cheese out taunts and not Muerte.
In standard she can be quite attractive in Maly/Velen Priest, but you have to narrow down the number of the cheap minions to 0 and doing so you risk dying to aggressive boards.
All in all, I think Catrina's strong sides surpass her weaknesses and she will be a strong inclusion in Big Priest in slower metas. Ofc since I hate this archtype, she will cause a lot of frustrating moments in both formats. At least in wild I have fun ways to deal with that deck (Entomb).
Meh, I was hoping for some specific Deathrattle interaction like the previous Priest card we got. Oh well. This is mostly just for bringing back the big baddies. Not very special if it brings back a Northshire Cleric.
LOLOLOLOL!!!! So many salty tears! I welcome back our Big Priest overlords with open arms! In reality, big priest won't work right away because of the lack of control spells, and ways of bringing out big minions early.
I think this expansion will force wild players to run several anti-big priest tech cards which summon minions for your opponent (like Muck Hunter), which makes this card bad if it keeps summoning useless 1/1s. Or the community will finally be pissed enough for them to nerf one of their key cards. We'll have to wait and see though.
Stricly worse kel thuzad. Might still make the cut.
Ressurect is such a dumb mechanic though. Again, thank god eternal servitude and spellstone rotates.
In wild kel thuzad will just eclipse this so no changes to big res priest there.
Kel’Thuzad requires you to have a board and trade it off on the turn you play it. This card can get played on an empty board and summon something huge.

She can resurrect herself?
Excellent art but the effect... well lets just say I rather fight against odd, even, aggro or otk decks....THAN MORE BIG PRIEST SHENANIGANS! !
omg omg omg omg omg omg
Seance synergy, Vivid Nightmare synergy, Grave Horror synergy, there is no way this is not meta defining.
edit: Power Word: Replicate synergy, LETS GOOOO.
****
To be fair, I'm a sucker for bad priest cards, so regardless, I'm gonna try to make this work.

Join me at Out of Cards!
OH. MY. GOD.
NO
Petition for Jaina's boobs to return please. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think so. Lets say you Seance her after playing. She dies and you play her -> resurrectes herself. ;)
Always expect the unexpectable!
I just say to fucking aggro and midrange decks 'Waoooooowwwwwww'
I already hate this card. We don't need more Big Priest. Why blizzard...
Reminds me so much of kel thuzad
Ok that my main is Rogue and I can use Sap. Ok that I am going to upgrade my Mage collection, where I can use Polymorph and Polymorph: Boar.
But team5 is better to nerf Barnes and Shadow Essence to oblivion, or I am done with the game.
Seriously, I am tired of getting BS like this.
Man, I wish Hearthstone had a Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer....
This + resurrect effects are going to be amazing lol a lesser Kel-Thuzad I'm so stoked for this expansion to drop
OK cool Card but why is she missing the "Pirate" tag??? That triggers me.

Well, I guess that the solution now is play braindead aggro to kill the priest before turn 4
The hard-on they have for big priest is ridiculous. When is reno big priest gonna be a thing?
Fun > Meta
