I’ve been having great success (~80% wr at rank 8 and climbing) with a list very very similar. Have not lost to any control decks or cubelocks. People forget how strong Big Priest was and the deck is actually MORE consistent without Barnes ( We never summon Barnes from shadow essence or spellstone).
I’m running:
+1 Pain -1 Hymn, extra removal has come more in handy than extra heal.
+1 Holy Nova -1 Vivid Nightmare, I feel our combo potential is already sufficient and we need all the AOE we can get.
