The biggest concern with the actual situation of Mechwarper is that it will drastically limit design space for future mech to be printed, because the Magnetic ability allows it to easily stick on the board since the early turn of a match. If that happens, usually the snowballing will close the game very fast making at last unpleasant to face it.
Probably a nerf in the form a making it the same as Summoning Portal, as suggested by RavenSun, may be the most straightforward solution.
Nerfing Barnes at this point is just a minor thing, considering that they've printed new cards that support Big Priest in a recent set (Catrina Muerte and Mass Resurrection): the archetype is so consistent now that its almost only issue is to survive long enough to cheat out a minion.
Instead of just considering a "spot nerf" that will only hit Barnes, they should think of a complete rework on the graveyard mechanic but that probably requires too much effort (because I suppose is something deep in HS' basic code) and since Wild as never been considered by Team 5 they will simply keep ignoring it.
The only times they've done something Wild-related, they've overkilled Raza the Chained and stealth-buffed Naga Sea Witch, so probably is better if Team 5 keep ignoring Wild before doing other stupid and pointless things.
Cheating out a big minion on turn 6 or 7 it's very different from having it on board on turn 4 (or 3 with The Coin). The issue with Big Priest is not the resurrect mechanics per se, but the chance of starting it so early in the game that it can become almost impossibile to handle it even for fast aggro deck, if the Priest find an Obsidian Statue.
While I personally don't like Big Priest, I agree that the deck is not so oppressive nowdays but it still a problem in Wild for how much polarizing its matchups are. This kind of heavy one-sided deck are not healthy for the meta and the game itself and the most easy fix to it is nerfing Barnes (probably by making the token he summons just a 1/1 minion that mimic the text card of a minion in your deck, so that if resurrected back it would just be a vanilla 1/1 with no text at all).
I don't think that the entire ress mechanic or the graveyard management will be changed, considering that they've recently printed more cards that use them (like Mass Resurrection, just to name one).
