Elwyn boar I still say is a BS card for priest to have in wild. Almost as bad as their quest. It’s an instant win card that is easy to win with since all they have to do is place one card over and over and get an instant win.
I personally always lose to it. I know it is a bad deck, but it feels bad to play against. They usually have the weapon by turn 7 or 8. I've played this deck briefly and never got a single win. The deck is bad, but god damn I got unlucky. I play control and I have never ever beaten this deck.
If you think boar decks are easy to play,l you don't have a good enough understanding of the game. I cannot speak for wild, but in standard, I have been playing almost exclusively boar priest for the past week, and I still find it difficult to play optimally. Almost every game has lines that could have been done better. Pro player Dreivo has hundreds of games on boar priest and still makes mistakes. Just because you see the boar decks beating you it doesn't mean it's a "braindead" deck. Try it yourself and see how many games you insta win.

Well in Wild though boar Priest is kind of easier to play because you have too many tools. However if you try to play it in any other class it becomes super hard immediately.
The big issue is you are punished for playing minions since they can trade board into them and there is only few counter cards- polymorphs + devolution or possibly steal the minion and these tools are not accessible to all classes. And then its race to either kill them but priest has a lot of control tools so you cannot guarantee success on that note.
So you cannot interact with them unless you are hyper aggressive.
But ress priest as archetype would deserve some nerfs. Mainly some changes like I cannot summon myself for blood,catrina, some nerf to Vargoth - stats may be enough, and nerf neptulon so it cannot attack same target twice. Last may be stat cap on some ressurect spells.

Boar priest is very easy to play in Wild my dude, and if the op is playing a slow deck, then yeah it's probably instant win for the opponent.
Also the op specifically mentionned wild so I don't know what's your point here.
Now to the op : Wild is rock/paper/scissor in its purest form, if you want to beat boar priest, you'll need to play aggro, or a very specific counter deck if it exists.
So of course it's a big issue for you and people playing aggro will tell you it's a weak ass meme deck, the reality is both of you don't fully understand what rock/paper/scissor mean, it's all about the matchup, you don't suck and you're not a genius, and the opponent isn't always lucky.
Don't ever expect to win against wild combo decks with a midrange or control deck, that's just the hard truth you need to face.
It is a card that should never ever be competitive. Totally unfun to play against, super boring coin flip matches. Would honestly rather play against hyper aggro.

This is nonsense. I've play boar decks in every class but warrior. The one class I didnt bother much with is priest because its res mechanics are too much and cheap control make it too easy. boar pal/hunter/ and tricky to pull off mage far more interesting. The later more of having fun than it being a competitive deck.
"I can't speak for wild"
Then dont speak at all. Absolutely sure its in wild more than standard.

Turn 4 neptulon is far more obnoxious.
I remember when big priest had more than 2 minions.
Man, you should know that wild is just for fun. Place to experience with wacky decks. If you want competitive gameplay, go standard.
LOL do you play wild? There is a very small % that actually create thier own decks. It's mostly people playing same braindead decks theyve been playing for 3-4 years with a few +/-.
biggest recent change is now there are 40 card versions.
If you lost to a Boar deck in Wild just know you were probably their first win in 5 games.
This. Right here. As a Boar Priest player, this just about sums up the experience. Devastating to lose against but really only happens once in a handful of games. Nobody is out grinding to legend with Boar Priest. May as well grind with the new Murloc Warrior.

In both modes Standard and Wild it's complete trash
