Yes!  I don't know what you'd want to swap, but I was thinking Call of the Wild would be great in a Highlander deck, especially if you play it before Zul'jin.

I actually missed hunter, and I agree the card is quite potent, it was too slow/outclassed before it rotated but now the meta is a bit slower than it was back then in the midrange shaman/patches era.. so it might fit, as to what to replace well you could look at win rates and cards that feel less impactful and switch them highlander decks tend to be very flexible.

I've built a lot of decks based on the "new" old cards for standard, and i've been going back and forth with n'zoth most of all, and there just isn't a lot of good deathrattles for him in the game IMO, khartut defender and sylvannus does not a deathrattle deck make

I agree on almost everything except:

Thing from Below which I think you overrated. There's just not enough good totems in Standard. It's not worth it to run it with just EVIL Totem in Quest Shaman or Aggro Shaman because neither tends to press the button a lot. The main advantage of Thing was that you coould get it down to 2-0 quite quickly thanks to Totem Golem, Flametongue and Mana Tide and it still wasn't even that strong back then.

Kun the Forgotten King which is extremely powerful in Quest Druid, not because the 0-mana 7/7 but just because of the 10 armor. Thanks to Nourish you get to 10-mana quite quickly after completing the quest and also draw through your deck to find Kun. Kun alone could make the difference between winning or losing the value game or just being a last line of defense against a deck that was able to burn through all your healing and armor.

Babbling Book is key in tempo mage (if it works out) simply because Mage doesn't have a good turn 1 play (except quest, omegalul) and this way you generate fuel for Flamewaker while also having a minion in play that can contest something like a Tidecaller or LIghtwarden.

I want to know... can i shard everything and then get these?

Important things to note;

* These cards will be given directly to all players for the event and then taken away when the event ends.

* You cannot craft them or disenchant them.

* if you already have them, you'll get duplicate copies. If you dust your wild cards you'd be fine for the duration of the event but would lose access once the event ends.

Just think of them as temporary clones that have an expiration date. If you involve any dust in this (not including crafting supporting cards still in standard), you're probably making a mistake.

Great analysis, but you might want to re-evaluate Avenge here. It can be slotted into the new Highlander Paladin and the few Secret decks people will be trying out, but it will not go into Murloc Paladin as it ruins the whole Tip the Scales package.

Shaku and Swashburglar are great cards that can fit into any Rogue deck. The question then becomes will Swashburglar be able to replace Pharoah Cat? Probably. I’d say 3-4 star on both. They can also be slotted into Highlander Quest Rouge which is an absolute banger of a deck to play already, upping the consistency of quest completion will make it just a tiny bit better honestly. Might be a bit biased on the rating because of Patches the Pirate PTSD.

Also, controversial opinion, but you can replace Masked Contender with Call of the Wild. That card actually has one of the worst win rates in the deck, and I had replaced it long ago

Yes!  I don't know what you'd want to swap, but I was thinking Call of the Wild would be great in a Highlander deck, especially if you play it before Zul'jin.

Wait what about the hunter cards? 

I think Lock and Load without Cloaked Huntress might be useless but Call of the Wild should be worth something right?

I ama so FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW.

I draft Zephrys in Arena and this fuckwad steals him out of the deck with THOTSTEAL TWICE. MY DECK STILL HAS 15 OTHER CARDS TO STEAL ASSHOLE. Oh, and he is constantly at 6 health because I keep hero powering him. Would be REAL NICE TO DRAW THE ZEPHRYS I DRAFTED. I have 3 fucking cards in the deck and I STILL DON'T DRAW HIM. Fuck this game.

HOLY FUCK, I NEED TO GO AND TAKE A WALK. THANKS FOR THE THREAD, I FEEL BETTER ALREADY.

Thanks for the reply! I think I’ll start with the decoys and craft Phaoris if I feel it’s necessary. He’s one that I’ve been thinking about crafting anyway so this might be the push I needed. Either way, glad to hear the deck is fun. I will definitely try it out. It looks like a blast. 

Thanks for the awesome deck!

I think he's trying to say that he'll be summoned as a basic 5/5 with Shadow Essence, and would pollute the rez pool with a basic 8/5 with no deathrattles.

So these cards aren't just staying for the month? but will be around until the next expansion? a whole extra month? That's what they mean by next major update right?

Cool idea, but it seems like you're not really running enough beasts to justify Oondasta and Stampeding Roar. What about Ironhide Direhorn or Octosari?

I’ve been having fun with a Mage list that exploits infinite draw and stall: Ray of Frost, Icicle, [Hearthstone Card (Sorcerer’s Apprentice) Not Found], Zephrys the Great, Arcane Intellect, and Fireball.

I vote to have this list added to the top of the thread ASAP. I just got scammed myself, and it turns out the battletag was on that blacklist.

I sent the first challenge, intending it to be a proof challenge, but they accepted instead of declined. I feel like a complete fucking idiot for not backing out of the deck selection.

Sorry to hear that m8. Remember the game doesn't count for the quest unless one of you is below 15 health when it ends, so you can concede any time before then and retain your quest.

Never knew that. I just thought that, like me, my opponent wanted to play out the game.

I'm not sure trading is worth it anymore. I play on NA, and lately it's been taking forever to find an opponent to trade with. Last time I think it took two weeks. Now that I think about it, I was probably too eager to get it out of the way, as it had already been three days, and that left me more vulnerable to getting scammed.

Aggro warrior is a good deck but it's definitely not close to better than priest.  It does have some very strong early highrolls but like priest it also has bad hands that don't do much at times.  

Priest is the top deck, VS might have slightly better winrate for warrior because this is a meta centered around priest and warrior is one of the few decks that can beat priest.  People build their decks and pick the decks they play with priest in mind first.  If the meta was built around countering aggro warrior then warrior would have a much lower winrate than priest currently does because it's much easier to beat.

Also aggro warrior is generally refined.  I'm not sure you can change it too much.  It's starting to get a lot of play now and people will start to mulligan for warriors with aggro in mind more often.  

Only played a few games, but I had good success with a fast beast hunter: Alleycat, Springpaw, Scavenging Hyena, Crackling Razormaw, Animal Companion and Desert Spear.

You could probably take out the spear for Master's Call, Revenge of the Wild or Unleash the Hounds though.

I used to use Bloodhoof Brave quite a bit.  Some of the Aggro/Tempo lists currently run a few "enrage" minions.  It could fit if you need to tech against aggro, and even against slower decks it's not a bad minion to hit with Inner Rage and suddenly have a 7/5 taunt on board.

HoF are broken cards unfortunately, so including it would make for a bit of an unfun arena... mages lucking out to get Ice Block... Mind Blast was altogether banned in Arena anyway... Sylvanas is also pretty feels bad in arena...

Mysterious Challenger isn’t so bad I thought to myself.  At least there’s no Avenge...
