Stop the Barnes hate man. Salty kids. 

 You stop salty kid 

Kek talking about reflecting your feelings on someone else xD

"Boohoo I got rekt by 1 card sometimes it must be OP pls blizzard nerf it so I can stop crying because I have nothing else going on in my life" 

 " I am here because my life suck and I have a lot  fun using big priest.

Every night I am praying Jesus hoping in a non Nerf for my favorite deck. I am poor and noob and I don't have the dusts to craft another deck. Sometimes when it is late I like masturbate me when I think Ragnaros the Firelord. He is hot and I don't have a girlfriend. I love Blizzard and I agree with everything. Even when they push it in my ass. Because I like it."

I actually dont play big priest nor do I plan to and I have more than enough dust to play whatever I want so no problem there. Thanks for your concern though. Enjoy the report.

 This immature feud is the best shit I have seen in a while!

For me the fix would be:

Battlecry: Summon a copy of a random minion in your deck that costs 6 or less.

That way, Barnes will still be viable option in midrange deathrattly decks (rogue, hunter etc.) because you can still pull Highmane or Sylvanas and the like. But it will shut down any shenanigans with YShaarj as well get rid of insane turn 4 for big priest.

And yea, Voidcaller is also powerfull, and it also needs a nerf.

Most likely that Barneswill get nerf to 5 or 6 cost mana. The issue with him is the speed of summoning huge powerful minion. Also, he is a neutral card. Blizzard can't just nerf him to the ground cos of just Big Priest.

There are many decks that utilize him for being neutral such Rogues, Hunter, Druid and even Shaman. Sure those decks are not commonly seen but they are there and are decently playable.

Big Priest without Barnes can still function. So, Barneswill probably see a mana nerf. All those ideas of actor tokens or what not are too drastic and some even Warsong-ed him. A simple mana nerf is all that is needed.

 Completely agree. Blizzard has said recently that Barnes is at the top of their "watch list" and is likely to get nerfed to 5 or 6 mana shortly after the expansion is out.

Big priest in wild is very frustrating and it is what like now is ruining wild and the reasons are these:

1) Big priest has the strongest turns 6/7/8/9 in the game (and 4 and 5 if he had Barnes)

2) Due to this people are forced to play aggro in order to kill big priest before these turns

3) Wild in composed then mainly but heavy aggros, due to this a lot of decks are not practically permitted

4) Big priest is very very hard to manage even for big controls

5) Big priest is very frustrating to play against because when you receive always board clears and then a 4/8 taunt and life steal is not fun at all

6) It is a lot that this deck is played and there are many of them so time and frequency are others two frustrating factors

7) Big priest is probably what shaped more the meta in wild forcing a lot of people in aggro and closing the opportunity to any midrange deck. No midrange deck has any possibility against the value generated by big priest

8) Big priest is even more frustrating when you receive a turn 4 Barnes

9) Turn 4 Barnes may win a game in only one turn

These are the reasons why Team 5 should, in my opinion, insta nerf Big Priest, and not only in Barnes but also in other cards. This deck is wrong, it is shaping the meta and ruining wild. 

 Another excellent post explaining how meta defining/warping big priest and Barnes are.

I dont think Barnes is that big of a Problem. Recently i played much wild myself and i feel like the big Priest isnt even that Powerful. Its just a ok deck (bad against every aggro deck) with game winning highroll potential.

I think High Priest Thekal into double Molten Giant at turn 3 is kinda more broken in a aggro Paladin Deck than Barnes. Its just that in wild are to many cards to make things balanced because everythink is broken af.

But dont get me wrong i woulnt mind a Barnes nerf i mean that would be 400 dust for me :).

Big Priest has close to a 80% winrate with Barnes on curve, way more than any current or historic card. It is not fun to play against, the best option is usually to concede on the spot.

Voidcaller should probably be 5 mana as well but I believe Molten Giant is ok.

Star aligner druid wasn't even a highroll deck, it was disgustingly consistant at what it did because of all the ramp, tutors and defensive cards.

 Yup, Barnes is not fair when it usually autowins you turn 4. Also agree voidcaller needs to get nerfed to 5 mana.

For the wild meta nerfing barnes would be like releasing a new expansion.

And what would all the Big Priest players do? Play decks where you need to think? Suddenly playing at rank 15 lol

 

 Wild would change so much for the better with a 6 mana or even 5 mana Barnes. There won't be 30% big priests in the meta anymore, more like 15% and they will be much weaker, especially to aggro.

Quote from yellowngreen >>

yeah i hate that too but for me voidcaller is even a bigger problem. abdeck that cycles lie a jet and heals and board clears into otk.. yeah not really a fan of it.

 Yup, I really hope voidcaller gets nerfed to 5 mana, he's Barnes cousin.

 There's several ways to nerf Barnes but most nerfs are a +1 or +2 bump to the mana cost. We expect(Blizz is watching him) Barnes to get nerfed to 5 or 6 mana and hope voidcaller also gets nerfed to 5 mana.
