Fun is subjective. I've actually enjoyed playing Big Priest. There are at least 3 types of card game players (and Magic the Gathering goes by this philosophy). There are Johnny's, Timmy's, and Spikes. Everyone comes to the game with different interests and different tastes.

With that being said, I'm ok with Big Priest getting banned or nerfed. It is not fun to play against and I could live without playing the deck. I have enjoyed playing the deck, but it is not my favorite deck of all time. My favorite deck of all time is probably classic Reno Priest back after MSG came out and I was playing it in Standard. I also liked classic C'Thun Warrior back in the day.
I did some research on this and found this article about the MTG rotation changes. Thank you for your reply, it seems like I'm wrong with my idea.

Probably one of the best things you can do is start using a deck tracker to record your games (if possible), since that gives you the ability to look back at games you've played and see whether there's anything you could have done differently. Here are the links to each platform's programs:
Otherwise, decks like Odd Paladin and Murloc Shaman are probably your best bets for getting to Legend quickly.
There is Arcane Tracker for Android and Track-o-Bot Companion for iOS.
If you're looking for the minimum viable amount of Pirates, the answer is two, since:
For a more numerical analysis, though, you can check out this Desmos graph I've whipped up. For reference:

I have absolutely no idea why you were downvoted, because you're most definitely right
There are 37 banned cards in the Vintage format in total.
Most if not all of them are utterly ridiculous/meme cards like Chaos Orb and Shahrazad though, so yeah, he does have a point as no real "legit" cards are banned from Vintage, only troll ones.
