Will this be totally busted?

Do you think battlecry shaman is going to be OP AF next expansion? From what I am seeing so far it wrecks every other deck that was built in the SoU beta these past couple of days. Might just be the well deserved counter to warrior, especially bomb warrior since it's gonna be all over ranked to grind singleton decks.

 

What do you think?

    the deck definitely has potential. it will be a strong mid-range/aggro deck. and it will have the quest and shudderwock in case it does not kill them in the early game. but like all decks, it will be beatable.

    It definitely looks like a strong deck, but I'd also be cautious.  A lot of people in the theorycrafting thing a few days ago were running greedy decks, meme decks (ie mogu cultist decks), plot twist warlocks, etc that are either just straight up bad decks or will take quite a bit longer to refine and tune than something straightforward like battleycry shaman.  Hard to say what will end up good until we've had a few weeks to actually test the whole meta out.  I'd be quite surprised if it didn't end up a Tier 2 deck at least though.

    Solid enough, but the Quest itself requires no fast Tempo/Token deck in the meta, in order to survive in the top tier - and that is unlikely.

    The only place where i can see Shaman being seriously OP is Wild, with Totemic Surge being given to Even Shaman, while the deck is already t1. I am not even sure the meta can properly adjust to such a powerlevel...

    Maybe, but remember that the sample size is very low and the other decks are also kind of prototypes, quest shaman has a ton of variations and options while other decks are more restricted and the good variants of those are not found yet, that being said..

    bomb warrior was the best archtype in the previews closed beta pre-expansion so I am pretty sure quest shaman is at least tier 2 if not 1 the deck IS strong but other decks are as well.

    As far as I have seen they avoided playing ROS decks with a few new cards but mainly trying new decks altogheter
