Big priest is a high roll deck that will beat you if you dont respect it when you built a deck. If played the deck when it was new in Frozen throne and the deck was a nightmare to play. In the 50+ games i only had t3/4 barns 3 times. When i play against it on ladder if killed them with midrange decks. You just need to kill the barns and leave the 1/1 rag alive or kill barns with the 1/1 to make the 2 mana res a 50% instead of a 100%. if won games against the deck were the1st minion they got was on t9 after playing board cear after board clear.
Talking about high roll darkest hour is just as much a high roll deck. My opponent killed me t5 he got 45 power out on t4.
I think big priest problem isnt its power level but it feel bad losing to it. The fastest it can kill someone is t5 and that need Y'shaarj into Y'Shaarj on t3. On the other side aggro deck kill you t4/5 and those games are forgettable since nothing flashy happened so you feel less frustrating since you dont feel overwhelmed by 8-10 mana stuff early.
A few days back i won big priest with a play combo card daily quest deck i just sapped his stuff out tempo him and killed him. it had stuff like the 2 mana 2/2 that make a 2/1 the 1 mana 1/2 comb get +1/+1, kidnapper, self bounce effect like daring escape and razor petals to get cheap card to activate combo the deck was horrible but it won.
The problems of Big Priest are:
1) If he has Barnes in turn 4, he has 75% win rate. Most of the time you can concede in turn 3/4
2) You have to kill him fast, otherwise up to turn 7/8, no deck can compete with him, if he is high of life
3) Due to this, big priest created a meta only composed by aggro, you have to kill fast, otherwise, no chances
4) The deck totally block many decks, like all the midrange decks and all the control decks. Big priest is almost uncontrollable and midrange deck are too slow for him
5) Yes, it is also very frustrating to play against. You know that quite sure all turn 6 he will play Shadow Essence (If he didn't have Barnes). If he will find the Obsidian Statue and you are aggro, you are most of the time dead, if you are control/combo and he will find Ragnaros the Firelord you are dead. So yes it is also frustrating because the match will be very dependent of what he will find, so, in reality, you have no power in the match.
Big Priest is a cancer, even if it is not a tier one like now, fortunately.
I don't know what team 5 is waiting, big priest is obviously broken and frustrating.

it's needed in addition to Grizzled Wizard to demolish Raza Priest.

Yeah and that doesn't solve the problem... Odd Warrior also destoy this deck, and sometimes I just play it to get those free wins but it's so boring to play it's just no fun ... I wish I could just play my Tier 2-3 decks and still be able to compete on the ladder but this infamy makes it barely impossible cause in most cases you've lost on turn 6. I don't wan't to play the game just to use boring decks so that I can counter an overpowered one, but because I have fun playing, and it has almost become impossible ...

Wow they responded so quickly to the 0,1% people complaining about those 2 cards that I haven't seen played for 3 years ! Nice ! Now, what about over powered Secret Mage and coin flip Big Priest infecting the ladder for what, 4 years now ?

Yeah we need a bit more promotion for this deck, it's only 60% of the ladder ! Let's make it 100% so the game will get even funnier ! :D

If you don't know him I suggest you to watch some Roffle videos, he only plays wild meme decks which are fun and can even win sometimes !

By far my biggest regret as a wild player is to see that there are so many archetype possible and in the end ONLY play against Secret Mage, Raza and Big Priest... Just cause those decks let's you win without even having to think... That's sad...
