The return of Ress Priest?

Submitted 5 years, 1 month ago by

While in most recent times the Ress Priest deck has almost disappeared, some of the already revealed new cards (Catrina Muerte and Mass Resurrection) may bring it back giving it new life.

Considering how unfun it's to play against it and how oppressive it was back in its glory days, will this Rise of Shadows mark the come back of Barnes & Friends making the Wild Ladder again infested with this archetype?

    Aren't they already on the Wild Ladder? Big Priest is a constant annoyance; it ain't going anywhere until someone comes along and punches it in the mouth.

    Yep, they already are there but I've found less and less of them during the last couple of Seasons (and I'm happy with that!). I just think that it's not a good idea to print new cards that will make them stronger, but Team 5 already struggle to keep Standard "balanced" so Wild probably was not even considered.

    I keep find pretty sad that they stated how Barnes is ok in their opinion and soon after that there was a Concede on turn 5 during the last Wild Championship because of it: never in an high level tournament a match was conceded so early.
