    Play what you like. That's what Wild is about.

    Well if you like feeling powerful and like a good hs-player because you played barnes on 4 and then resurrect some 8 drop over and over again it is the deck for you.

    I tried it back when it first came up in standard and was bored after 10 games. It literally comes down to if your opponents is aggro or control and whether you find your mana-cheat-cards in time. Very boring to me, but on the other hand there are players that enjoy playing odd-paladin month after month, so to each his own I guess.

    I can recommend big rogue though, similar play style but more decisions, a bit more randomness (sneeds!) and barely ever mirror matches. Check Dane's list if you are interested.

    If you have the cards, feel free to play it. Do not care to what people hates, people hates nearly everything they play against :P

    It depends on what you like to play. Big Priest can feel really powerful to play, but it can be a very polarising experience 

    Sometimes you will crush your opponent and sometimes you will feel powerless as your opponent crushes you.

    Personally, that's why I've played under 20 games of BP. The deck can feel like a roll of the dice without much opportunity for counterplay.

    If you can take the rough with the smooth then give the deck a shot. I probably wouldn't accept any friend invitations whilst playing the deck, though. ;)

    The deck is pretty boring to play since you've a polarizing playstyle where you just try to cheat out a big minion asap, while you spam board clear and removal to keep you alive. After you put something on board, you go on by using your ress spells until the opponent is overwhelmed.

    It's also an high roll deck, so many match up may be win just by topdecking Barnes in the early game.

    Keep that in mind that there are also some people who only tries to counter Big Priest since it is the most frustrating deck to play against.

    There are decks in wild which is only built for countering Big Priest. If you are ready to be stressed, go ahead.

    But I won't suggest you to play, at least I'm not playing to avoid stress. It is stressful to play with and against any hated-deck (it is Big Priest here).

    Barnes was one of my favorite cards before KotFT. Shame i didn't play with him since Big Priest became popular.

    It feels exciting for the first day. Then you just feel bad, because when you lose, it's because the rng didn't roll you the statue when you needed it, or didn't revive the minion you wanted. It's not a skill deck, it's mostly rng. When you win the early rng, you win the game, when you don't you lose. 

    Oh and when you start winning games with big priest after day 2 you feel like shit because all the times you have just been lucky to roll the minions you wanted. That's my experience with big priest. And i won't play that total rng deck anymore.

    Basically when you play that deck for long enough, it feels like you are a coward waiting to draw the right cards as they mostly are just one offs. And i'm not exaggerating, this is honestly what i felt

    I don't think anyone's ever going to support playing big priest. If you have the cards do it, do whatever your heart desires man. No one should stop you from doing what you think is right or what you think is fun. 

    I mean, I will hate you on a personal level every time I play against you, and you will probably hate me every time I draw well with Kingsbane. That's Hearthstone man.

    You shouldn't really ask, as it is not up to us to tell you whether you should play any deck.
