I actually love this brawl. A small insight of what could have been had team5 went all in with the shrine concept. I think they did, but at the end concluded its too dependent on the shrine staying on board and nearly everyone's gonna run stuff that destroy it.
Jenalai's mantle basically destroys Zul'jin. Too bad its basically bad against nearly everyone else.
Hireek's hunger can work well against Zul'jin too. But I've not had a chance to test this. Basically warlock doesnt even need to attack to destroy others.
2 mana draw 2 cards unless you’re against a really aggressive deck (cause sometimes they can go a good few turns without actually playing a spell). Seems amazing to me
What Kidnapper should’ve been. Don’t really see any reason not to run this, the secrets are relatively good, and this is just a targeted freezing trap in that case
Looks like it’ll be annoying to play against, since it can consistently get you 4-5 secrets when you play it (which will help to protect it for next turn)
I don’t really think it’s that great to be honest, they’re missing the tools for a tempo deck like the old dragon priest to do that well (and besides, these days it’s not really that great anymore anyways), and usually synergy is stronger than good stats. I doubt a dragon priest is gonna show up again for a little while at the least
Seems pretty decent I guess, but you’d need a pretty slow deck to really use it. Maybe the priest rework’s gonna be enough with the new cards to make that happen again though
One thing that I think not enough people appreciate is Blizzard's meme attempts and the flavour text. A good bit of it is really bland, but sometimes they're gold (one of my favourites is Level Up!).
New Shaman Minion - The Lurker Below
Seems like a generally good card you could put in most decks. Definitely gonna be getting this card at some point

New Rogue Minion - Spymistress
Not too many ways to ping it on the first turn from what I remember, so it’s a pretty strong first turn.
New Rogue Spell - Dirty Tricks
2 mana draw 2 cards unless you’re against a really aggressive deck (cause sometimes they can go a good few turns without actually playing a spell). Seems amazing to me
New Rogue Minion - Cursed Vagrant
Annoying, but also really slow. Not expecting to see this card played too much.
New Rogue Minion - Blackjack Stunner
What Kidnapper should’ve been. Don’t really see any reason not to run this, the secrets are relatively good, and this is just a targeted freezing trap in that case
Aggro: Warden Druid
Thank you for checking out the deck good sir, I'm glad you liked it.
New Rogue Minion - Ashtongue Slayer
Looks way too specific to be that great in my opinion, but I’ll probably be wrong on that one
New Rogue Spell - Ambush
Not that great since the token doesn’t even have stealth on it. Too easy to remove
New Rogue Spell - Bamboozle
Annoying to play around, so it’ll probably be pretty strong
New Rogue Minion - Greyheart Sage
Seems decent I guess, since they get stealth minions here and there throughout the expansions. Wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t see much play though
New Rogue Minion - Shadowjeweler Hanar
Looks like it’ll be annoying to play against, since it can consistently get you 4-5 secrets when you play it (which will help to protect it for next turn)
New Rogue Minion - Akama
Way too slow, and even if you do get it out it’ll probably just die to a board clear anyways
New Priest Spell - Renew
Seems pretty great, can generate more healing which is nice.
New Priest Minion - Imprisoned Homunculus
Horrible card for late game, but it’s usually the early game that the class struggles in anyways
New Priest Spell - Apotheosis
Seems pretty nice, since Velen’s Chosen was used pretty often back in the day. Could help out quite a bit with surviving in the early game
New Priest Minion - Dragonmaw Sentinel
I don’t really think it’s that great to be honest, they’re missing the tools for a tempo deck like the old dragon priest to do that well (and besides, these days it’s not really that great anymore anyways), and usually synergy is stronger than good stats. I doubt a dragon priest is gonna show up again for a little while at the least
Let's create a Shaman Imprisoned Demon - Challenge?
Here are a couple designs I came up with in a couple minutes.
Invest a lot of Mana and lose a bunch of tempo to set up a combo or clear on a later turn.
Something to round out the Totem Shaman archetype that's been very loosely pushed throughout the past few expansions.
New Priest Minion - Dragonmaw Overseer
The smaller version of this saw play I think, so this one probably could see a decent amount of play too
New Priest Spell - Psyche Split
Seems too slow, and I’m not a fan of Rez decks so I’ll probably never use it at the least
New Priest Minion - Sethekk Veilweaver
Decent enough I guess, not too much of a fan of it though
New Priest Minion - Skeletal Dragon
Looks pretty great for value generation. With the lack of card draw, the card generation’s gonna be your best bet for staying in the game for too long
New Priest Minion - Reliquary of Souls
Seems pretty decent I guess, but you’d need a pretty slow deck to really use it. Maybe the priest rework’s gonna be enough with the new cards to make that happen again though
