If Barnes gets nerfed, then big priest loses 1% off of its win rate. Is that really enough?
You're greatly underestimating the advantage Barnes provides to that deck. If Barnes is nerfed, it will still beat big warrior but the win rate will go down enough that it won't be played as extensively as it is right now.
maybe. or you are overestimating it.
i play big priest myself and i use barnes. the highroll potential is just great. but: you get him to hand on time in about 30% of all cases. in these 30% of cases he screws up your res pool. if you get yshaarj, it does not really matter. in other cases, it does. the highroll wins you more games than the diluted res pool makes you lose it, but it happens more often than one thinks. In the other 70% of games you have no barnes and usually 1-2 minions in hand. => shadow essence summons a 5/5 barnes in 20-25% of these cases. Which usually makes you lose the game on the spot.
I have not yet tried the deck without barnes, but other people did and while it was worse, it was not much worse. This was before the RR meta, though, so maybe the current meta is much more hostile against big priest without barnes, now, I have no idea.
My main point is that even with a nerf to barnes, we maybe continue to see big priest. less highroll and lowroll, but more consistency.
of course, when i said that big priest loses 1%, this implies that it will be played less extensively. i just do not see how that should help big warrior to shine..
Just give me a few more fatties and I'll play a boomship deck.
If anyone can record themselves doing this to someone in a real game, I will fucking pay you. It's one of my top funniest things I want to happen in Hearthstone right now.
Is Recruit Warrior a thing in Wild? I suppose it's good for Recruit Warrior because it makes copies.
It's not all that popular, but Wild has everything from annoying decks like Rez Priest to What The Hell decks like Dragon Shaman (seriously, I've seen someone do that).
What a disappointment. Both the really bad cards in this set in warrior. Really drew the short straw twice this time round
I think the idea is that if you snag a 5 mana minion it’s par, anything more is value

Incredible if you can stick a Vargoth to the board as well.
Better yet, summon two Vargoths which each cast a copy of this.
suddenly pog
Charged Devilsaur approves this card
I (unironically) hope you plan on playing Wild. (Seroiusly, come to Wild, it's great).
Hm this is fun card, but then archetype doesn't have much support anymore in standard...
Don’t think it’ll be meta defining, but it could lead to some fun decks and more than one Trollden appearance.
Relying on big minions can be ruff if you lack defensive cards.
Warriors may have some really good removal cards but they are all conditional and you will lose some removal options if you are gonna rely on big minions, not to mention you might need armor too to survive for a while.
worst case would be that you draw all your biggest minions.
having smaller minions might ruin the spell too and that is a huge waste for 10 mana... unless you play minions with solid stats and taunt like Hecklebot or Hungry Ettin
It may or not will seen play depending on what kind of cards warrior will get and what neutral cards will support this.
Big warrior has not been a thing for a good while but it might change during these expansions.
Never thought that I would ever say: "The Boomship is a better card than...." And now Blizzard surprises us.
Still no Kael'Thas Sunstrider (mage, warlock, paladin could use him)
What a value this card
+ Big Bad Archmage
or
+ Batterhead
or
+ Archmage Valgoth
Delicious!!
