Igneous Lavagorger - Not too bad as a defensive card. From the Depths may be the go to option for control warrior right now, but I still think you can run both. Just remove something like heavy plate for it, because the taunt, armor gain, and dredge may simply be better. Its still a 3/5 taunt, gain x health. Surely not to be ignored.
Tidal Revenant - Probably not too good even in big warrior. Its kinda an upgrade over Mo'arg Forgefiend in of itself, but since big warrior tends to cheat out minions, the lack of the battlecry effect makes it way too poor a card. Warrior have better options than a middling Cenarion Ward.
Clash of the Colossals - is interesting. Because you get to play yours first, you are technically in the hot seat. The problem is that traditionally cards that give opponent stuff tends to be shit, and I can see no indication why this will change. You never want to give your opponent a colossal option because let's face it, 90% of the time your opponent will, by the grace of god, get a better colossal than yourself.
Happy birthday! So glad to be part of this amazing team and project!
I know you’ve mentioned me as part of the Yu-Gi-Oh side of the site, but I probably wouldn’t be here without Mythgard. Hopefully that game makes a nice comeback in the near future. Also looking forward to the OutOfGames side of things, and well as the merch store with the- Whoops! Almost slipped!
I guess it's a good early removal spell if you can't run Living roots because of Jerry Rig Carpenter, but other than that it seems redundant unless we somehow get Spell Damage Druid back (and at that point it'S probably a degenerate OTK and nobody needs that)
Spirit is useless, Uldum Quest doesn't exist anymore and you're not gonna play an effective vanilla 3-mana 3/4
Herald looks interesting though? Should be easy to activate and it's a really massive buff if you have the board for it. Perhaps a Nature/Naga/Beast Durid hyrbid appears?
Like....there are plenty of decks around that don't do much for the first 3 turns. You can Living Roots + something on turn 2 and have a massive board on turn 3.
This is nuts. It's unerfed Faceless Corruptor without an activation cost. If Quest Shaman was still around it would be nuts thanks to this (so I'm glad it isn't)
It's also a great Nature spell for Multicaster build.
Wouldn't be surprised if this pushes Burn Shaman over the top, their tempo game is insane now.
This is just broken. No turn restriction, very early play and can end the game the turn after if you get lucky.
If you play this on 3 and then double Murloc Tidehunter with [Hearthstone Card (Nofin can stop us!) Not Found] you just put an absurd amount of stats out on turn 4.
Looks very fun (for me, not the opponent) but I was really hoping for some more efficient boardclears. Oh well, Curselock still has next expansion to ruin the meta for everyone.
This feels like it could potentially be powerful but it's super hard to judge without seeing it in practice. On paper this can effectively skip your opponent's turn because they might be too afraid to die on the following one (specifically in Curselock). ON the other hand it might just kill you.
I guess it's matchup dependant, but it could be really strong, but should only be played if you are convinced you can kill them the following turn. Probably not a good play against Boar Priest
I wanna call this insanely good but I'm not sure how easy it is to consistently activate.
On paper this is what Warlock needs to beat Divine Shields (which they struggle with right now). It's great against Paladin and useful enough against anything else although it's unfortunate there's no deeper Naga synergy for Warlock. I guess it makes Crushclaw Enforcer better in Curselock

I'll say it'S good purely because you can get it from School Teacher. It's a worse From the Depths in any other case, but still not so awful that you I wouldn't at least consider running it.
Like...getting a turn 4 Crabatoa off this is almost as good as a turn 4 Nellie and many off the bigger Colossals get much better when you can play them two turns earlier (Gigafin is pretty sick for instance). Really, the variance is the most problematic thing. If you spend your turn 3 on this and you don't get anything useful it's just a waste of a deckslot
There should be no surprise that AnnieJhin, a burn archetype that's easy to build and like most burn decks is easy to pilot is very popular and successful early in the season.
Decks aren't refined, optimal control configurations aren't figured out so aggro is favoured for now... I think however that this archetype has not even close the staying power that it needs to remain a t1 deck.
If I take for example Bard as the imo best champion from the expansion then you see an archetype that can keep up with burn in the earlygame while outscaling burn big chimes later in the game.
I am currently playing BardMaokai and have 0 problem with burn because I have often the better earlygame, i got healing en mass and the by far better lategame.
I also don't struggle with control with this deck. The only thing that might be tricks to beat are other more greedy bard lists and combo lists.
Seems very odd to say the least. LAvagorger clashes with From the Depths, You never want to play Revenant for its full cost and Clash seems like a much worse From the Depths (even though it is giga-nuts off Nagaling)
I was like "How is that legendary bad?? Its a stronger Loatheb" and then i remembered that one Tavern Brawl of FTK, i guess going to 1 hp dont matters if you just win the game in a turn.
Imagine playing Commander Ulthok then your opponent drops a Violet Illusionist On the other hand Immolate seem to be a useless card against aggro but also a very funny card to play against slow control deck , pair it with some curse cards and your opponent will be forced to make use of his cards instead of getting rid of the curses.

It's also a great Nature spell for Multicaster build.
Wouldn't be surprised if this pushes Burn Shaman over the top, their tempo game is insane now.
New Shaman Minion - Tidelost Burrower
Seems...pointless? There are very few Murlocs with effects powerful enough for this to matter beyond being a 4-mana 6/6.
Maybe if you need a critical mass of Murlocs it makes the cut, other than that it's just okay
New Shaman Minion - Clownfish
This is just broken. No turn restriction, very early play and can end the game the turn after if you get lucky.
If you play this on 3 and then double Murloc Tidehunter with [Hearthstone Card (Nofin can stop us!) Not Found] you just put an absurd amount of stats out on turn 4.
Definitely watching out for Murloc Shaman now

New Warlock Spell - Immolate
Looks actually strong if you can get away with it, but it gets really really bad the longer the game goes.
But man, if you play this on 4 and your opponent has their win conditions in hand they are ultra-fucked
New Warlock Minion - Commander Ulthok

I wonder if Malygos is still viable to be used with that new spell, 1 mana 12 damage.

I wanna call this insanely good but I'm not sure how easy it is to consistently activate.

New Warrior Minion - Tidal Revenant
Great for lategame pressure but incredibly clunky. You never want to play this for 8-mana unless you're pushing for lethal anyways
New Warrior Minion - Igneous Lavagorger
Anti-synergy with From the Depths, worse standalone Dredge than the pirate guy and Warrior has more than enough Armor gain anyways.
