    I do wonder though, would Catrina Muerte's effect stack? Would her dying four turns after she's been summoned, summon four 6/1s? 

    I expected it to work like any other keyword. Gaining taunt twice, or gaining lifesteal... Divine shield might be the best comparison. It would only work if she'd lost it

    Blizzard has just stated that Barnes has them in a tough spot, and they are probably not lying. Nerfing Barnes, at this point, would probably achieve very little, as far as stopping Big Priest goes.

    I'd suggest that they instead turned towards the resurrection cards, especially the cheap ones, and change them. Not any change, however. I'd prefer a rework to a nerf. True, we could just butcher all resurrection cards to summon ANY minion that died this game, and that would surely fix things, but I wonder... what if we took this chance, with Reborn showing up as a new keyword, to turn the resurrection mechanic into something else?

     

    My suggestions are as follows (mana cost and stats remain the same):

    Resurrect - Give a minion Reborn. (might require a name change)

    You might be thinking this is just a worse Ancestral Spirit, which in all fairness is true. Priest does, however, possess better ways to heal minions back up from 1 HP. There are certain synergies available to priest that shaman does not possess, including cloning effects.

    Eternal Servitude - Give your minions Reborn.

    Comparable to Evolving Spores, if you may. This card is pretty self-explanatory. A board buff, of which priest has very few, but perhaps good enough to see play by itself.

    Catrina Muerte - At the end of each turn, gain Reborn.

    I am not certain about Catrina. I kind of like the idea of her having Reborn forever unless silenced or transformed, but I don't know how to word that in a better way.

     

    The spellstone, I believe, can stay the same. It takes a while to be powered up, and I doubt it is strong enough to keep Big Priest alive by itself. Thoughts?

    I think resurrections should just be fixed to resurrect stats accurately.

    If a 1/1 died, resurrect the 1/1. If a 5/5 died, resurrect the 5/5. 

     

    Either that or make Barnes and Shadow Essence summon tokens instead of actual copies of minions. Both lead to the same result.
