Pretty sure Peter Whalen said if they ever see a boost in Wild Big Priest after expansion hits, they will do something about it, specifically nerfing Barnes. It depends on how powerful they will get and it what way, but they have Big Priest on their radar.

People that plays wild hated Big priest high roll with Barnes and now we see more ressurect cards with total disregard for a healthy wild game. Totally uncreative in my opinion
its called wild for a reason, its not ment to be fair and ballanced. Play standard for that, u misunderstod the concepts of the game modes
The new cards use resurrect mechanics. That doesn't mean they buff big priest. Think about it, big priest runs YShaarj to grab more huge minions, lich King or Ysera to generate cards, obsidian statues to delay and heal and for board control, etc. No one is going to run the new legendary, it's a 6/8 which would wreck your resurrection pool.
Also, Mass resurrection is a good standard card, but it is 2 Mana more than the spellstone, and resurrects one less minion than the upgraded spellstone. So I don't see anyone running it, unless they plan to run both. I just don't see a deck list having room for all four spells.
Also, big priest is annoying because of the huge highroll potential of playing Barnes on turn 4. None of these cards make that more or less irritating. Priest in standard has a real lack of identity these days, and it is a good step that blizzard is taking to consistently print resurrection and healing cards, returning priest to some identity that doesn't include inner fire, hopefully.
They just need to nerf how Barnes interacts with other minions. Eg: summon a 1/1 mimic of a minion in your deck. Stays 1/1 after resurrection. Problem solved.
If Big Priest becomes meta again I will stop playing wild until it is nerfed... been playing a bit of standard lately anyway, why not move to it when wild gets screwed by RNG focused decks...
I don't understand the notion of buffing wils priest. I dont think muerte will be run, wild has already kel thuzad. And I am not sure about mass res. Maybe a one of?
But I dont believe that the deck is pushed a lot, simply because the card pool is already that strong.
Kel Thuzad only works if something did during that turn. If you get the new legendary resurrected from spellstone (after having an emtpy board), it will trigger.
Big priests are relatively easy to hard counter. I am far more worried about mana cheating warlocks decks. Those are far wilder and their power grows in a natural way (not that I am angry at Blizzard or something... Wild is getting too wild for my tastes, but the direction was obvious)
Can you explain your point some more. Like how is Big Priest getting buffed in you opinion?
I mean, the new legendary doesn't work with the high-roll, so actually has anti-synergy with the deck mechanics
It has insane synergy with the highroll. You pull it and if you ressurect it it resummons itself. Granted it could also resummon barnes but even still this infinite value loop as early as turn 4 is just another great addition to BIg Priest ever expanding library.

I don't know if you ever played against y shaarj. He does it better and instantly, with good minions. I am not sure which minion you would cut.
Neither of these two cards help Big Priest's matchup against aggro/midrange decks like Kingsbane Rogue, Odd Paladin, Even Warlock etc.
Mass Resurrection is completely hopeless card, 9 mana worse Spellstone that can revive multiple Barnes. Catrina is bit better but Big Priest doesn't really need more value, they can pretty much outvalue anything except Odd Warrior, a pretty bad deck in wild currently. So Catrina is nothing more than win more card in wild, not really what Big Priest wants.
IMO Forbidden Words is the card that buffs Big Priest much more than those two new resurrect cards ever could.
Blizzard should make a special stream lessons or youtube videos in which they explain the the only way hs should be played is with supa dupa 1000 IQ control/combo homebrewed decks and 30 minutes long match is a minimum time period that proves you're not braindead blah blah something etc.
What gets me the most is the attitude of some of the people playing big priest. They'll emote "well played" before they've played a single card, because they think it's gonna be over as soon as they play barnes on curve. But then you sap the high cost 1/1, mill a bunch of cards and they concede.

If you get the new legendary off of Barnes, then you can kill her, resurrect her, and she'll summon another copy of herself and so on.

They want that everyone quits wild.
eventually they will have graveyard hate and ways interact with other zones.
I despise big priest but its very predictable. Them buffing it is like cool alright you want wild people to play standard ahha
Do or do not. There is no try.

Why not? It is a fun deck, like Espionage or mill rogue.

How many big priest post do we need?

The 9 mana spell will see 0 play in Wild Big Priest. It's strictly for Standard.
They should have the Barnes read "remains dormant for two turns" to keep you guys happy
The 9 mana spell is a far worse spellstone and the new legendary wont make it much better.
I don't know if you ever played against y shaarj. He does it better and instantly, with good minions. I am not sure which minion you would cut.

Catrina isn’t strong enough to slot into Wild Big Priest, IMO. Will be a powerful but not gamebreaking card for deathrattle Priest in standard.
All!
