Big priest is still top tier, along with odd paladin, kingsbane rogue and even shaman with a bit of darkest hour warlock. Personally, with the highrolling of big priest and DH warlock I have been just sticking to standard as I haven't been having fun playing against those high roll decks that you can lose to with little counter play as early as turn 4-5-6. Up to you if you enjoy playing in that kind of environment.
In Wild dominates the Warlocks with the darkest hour, Big Priest and some decks aggro with explosive plays like mech hunter, rogue pirates Kingbane and odd paladin. But they appear more often in casual than ladder although they appear after midnight.
You can play any deck that you like but you must take some tech cards to counter those decks although you can still be very greedy.
I didn't really consider Barnes Big Priest a problem in Wild before like other people, but now it's busted. Add in Archmage Vargoth, Catrina Muerte, and Convincing Infiltrator and their board becomes impenetrable. I tried it out and just subbed some of the crappier spells out for the infiltrators and you have incredible protection against aggro.
I used to play wild a lot but I am not down for big priest or darkest hour. It's all about who gets their combo first not about any interaction. I'll just climb standard and have fun there since I have to rely on skill
well the meta is basicaly the same as the last last expansion (odd paladin-kingsbane rouge-big priest-even shaman-even warlock-mech hunter)with some changes
jade druid now became a tier 2 with inclusion of Archmage Vargoth and Hecklebot this 2 card with combiniton of Oaken Summons made jade druid really good because u actualy have good matchups vs combo and aggro
Darkest Hour warlock is a new deck of wild meta and the deck is pretty good
big priest became better with inclusion of new cards
also there is a quest shaman deck now in wild with new good murloc cards of RoS expansion
From rank 5 to Legend I faced mostly Odd Paladin so I went 19-4 with Renolock, but Legend is full of Kingsbane, Big Priest, Darkest Hour Warlock etc. so I hate it, I stick to Casual

I just won my first game vs big priest in a long time as even shaman, partly because it was the new version. The old version was almost unbeatable, but more lowrolls makes that matchup much more even, I feel. Idk about the rogue and aggro matchups that used to be hard for BP.

Funny to see people complain about big priest and at the same time call the new warlock (= that cheats out big board early) nice lol
Both of these decks are ruining the fun of wild right now because you can't really play against them if you're not extremely aggro with curve draw. I really hope Blizzard will do something about it as they did with the Naga deck.
I play Secret Mage in wild and so far I have no problems with playing against big priest. Have yet to encounter a DH WL but I think the matchup should be doable as most WLs are

I’ve Ben hovering around ranks 8-10 and I’ve got to say I’m absolutely sick of big priest. Every other game it’s this god damn deck. I wouldn’t even mind it that much, like I’m fine with an automatic loss if I’m playing a control deck, but it’s every game man. And when it’s not that it’s rogue. The warlock isn’t that big of a deal, yeah it’s stupid when they high roll you, but at least if they do it’s quick. Big priest takes so long just to kill you it feels like. Either way, I hope it gets nerfed.

So after about a week how broken is Big Priest with Vargoth? I want to get into Wild but I'm still waiting for a good deck to craft.

I just got legend in Wild EU server with my shuderwock Deck
Best decks in rank 1-2 are Odd paly ,and New Sick Warlock that summon small minions then replace them with big guys from the deck !
ofc Big priest still cancer and theres many Old School aggro token druids ...
The key to succes is by surprise your opponent with decks that he not expect .
deck code?
It's good and enjoyable up until rank 5.
R4-Legend is an odd paladin & warlock fest. Prepare accordingly.

freakin Kingsbane bro... why is it still a thing

I won't play Wild Ranked until i see a serious nerf to all the BS going on there.
They printed and keep printing cards that are too memey for Standard, while being totally broken in Wild.
The Rotation-focused greedy design is mostly useless for Standard purposes, but retarded for Wild.
Same shit as always.
Un-playable.
I play Secret Mage in wild and so far I have no problems with playing against big priest. Have yet to encounter a DH WL but I think the matchup should be doable as most WLs are
I hop between Pirate Warrior and Renolock depending on how I feel at the time. Both can beat anything on a good day.
New cancer is warlock big dudes isn’t it.
This is more broken imo
