It's a good deck but far from broken. It's slow and fair compared to real powerhouse decks like Secret Mage and Raza Priest.

It doesn't help that really aggressive decks can reliably beat you (Big Priest is only a slight favorite). Also there's Counterspell and Oh My Yogg! A good player often only needs to disrupt ONE crucial play against Big Priest to win the game. OTK decks also beat Big Priest.

What decks is Big Priest dominating? Only bad decks.

I put Big Priest at the bottom of tier 2.

 

 

 I don't see how this deck is fair. Your basically cheat 9-10 mana minions by turn 6. Sticky minions with taunt that summon more, they die you ressurect them for 2 or 4 mana, they summon more big threats. Even combo decks may have a hard time dealing with infinite waves of big threats while trying to draw their combo pieces. I have problems dealing with this deck even with my raza priest but that only happens if shadowreaper anduin is bottom deck. In that case, by the time I get to play him I have no more cards left after trying to survive big priest's boards and I'm left without burn. This deck is definitely a top tier 2/bottom tier 1 and I think I will add one bad luck albatross in my highlander priest just to have an easier time against this deck. 

That's the thing. Shadow Essence cheats out a 10-drop on t6, or a 9-drop that cheats out a 10-drop. You can try to counter it with Albatross, but they can just let it live until they play the first Shadow Essence. Also, while Terrorguard Escapee does mess up the Rez pool, this doesn't matter too much as the deck is not a pure Rez priest. You still need to kill the minion(s) originally summoned from Shadow Essence and then you've only messed up Resurrect, but there is still Eternal Servitude

 I know they won't kill it, I will do it myself. As you said, minions that summon weak minions for the opponent doesn't stop the fact that they just cheat out minions from their deck, but if one albatross is shuffled in their deck then summoned and you kill it, that's game. Now, I see that deck plays only 5 minions so assuming they won't draw any by the time they play shadow essence, there is a 28% chance they will summon an albatross which is still a very low chance.

Well, the good thing about teching in Albatross is that you have some sort of counter for all the Reno decks too;)

The deck is definitely unfair. But of all the unfair things you could be doing in wild, there are worse things than doing big priest shenanigans.

I’m probably biased because I tend to play the decks that do well against big priest. I like my otk decks and I know how to maximize my chances piloting aggressive decks. I play at 11 stars and whatever decks big priest is beating, I’m not seeing those decks played at all. I don’t see how big priest is a tier 1 deck with how it stacks up against the rest of the field.

As for the big priest vs. raza priest matchup; even if you don’t draw dk anduin, you still have polkelt and psychic scream. It takes a lot of bad luck to lose that matchup imo.

I played some games against this brainless cancer shit and it is just brainless cancer shit, I would never play something like this even if it means I will never reach the legend.

But thanks for sharing this brainless cancer shit.

 Yeah I don't have Polkelt and don't plan to craft him yet because I gather my dust, that's why I don't like that match up so much.

Scream doesn't stop their shadow essence or blood of g'huun from summoning minions from deck unless you shuffle a bunch of bad minions which you don't really play in raza priest. 

Fair enough. Not having polkelt in this particular matchup is somewhat problematic because you want your combo fast.

Psychic scream is used to set them back two turns. That's why polkelt is so important. It literally gives you everything you need and buys you the time to kill them before they can kill you.

Psychic Scream is match-winning if played after Shadow Essence as it makes all the resurrect spells useless and the only way out is to draw the 2nd Shadow Essence fast...

I felt so bad for the opponents when I played this deck. I wished they added the sorry emote back
