Halazzi, the Lynx is incredibly good for reload and helps you control the board due to all the rush minions. It along with Boommaster Flark essentially give you two more full board reloads. I've seen versions that run Eccentric Scribe with seems okay. I'd be curious to see if Wrapped Golem could work as well since it is so sticky, I like it better than the Eccentric Scribe to be honest.
The secret one doesn't seem to work, and the quest one also brings up Questing Explorer (not sure if intended), but I appreciate the added functionality.
my favorite Uldum moment The last brawl is very cool. cards without repetition left a connection in my heart. the new meta has become more diverse and exciting.Of course it's perfect, you're just not seeing how to use it. Sorry for my bad english
Yeah, same problem. Everytime I edit that post, it gets marked as spam and disappears. I realize bots are a problem, but the solution has become a bigger problem.
They did this in a Tavern Brawl recently with the element of time. By finishing the brawl within a set time limit rewarded a card, which also helped the replay-ability. But I agree with you, I'd like to see more of this kind of achievement.
I just noticed that the various quest cards have not been updated yet with their associated hero powers or cards they give. Can those be updated with the "related cards" section too please?
-1 Body Wrapper. Not really sure what it's doing there, as it's unlikely to give you anything useful.
-1 Antique Healbot. I get that it's there to try to stay alive, but there are better options for that - and the battlecry isn't adding anything to the 'wock, since Reno is already in there.
-1 Leatherclad Hogrider. You're already (hopefully) getting charge from the Spiked Hogrider, so this effect is redundant coverage - and it's also going to experience anti-synergy due to Unseen Saboteur's effect pulling a card from your opponent's hand.
-1 Flame Juggler. Just kind of underwhelming, in my opinion.
Replaced by three of the following:
+1 Witchwood Piper. You're light on card draw, but you need specific draw effects to avoid the 'wock overdrawing you. This one works nicely.
+1 Kalimos, Primal Lord. It'd take some manipulation, admittedly, saving either Sandstorm Elemental (overloading), Zephrys or Kalimos himself for the turn before the Shudderwock. Three of the four effects are beneficial if chosen randomly, however, and also fairly amusing. Sure, there's a failure rate built in, since if the 'wock's effect picks Earth Elementals and it happens before Dopplegangster then you'd miss the bounce... but it's worth it for the laughs, in my opinion.
+1 Nefarian. If nothing else, because you're including The Curator with no dragon for it to draw.
+1 Heroic Innkeeper. Depends on the timing that it activates, of course, but if it times itself correctly it'll pump you up.
+1 Doomcaller. Since you'll hopefully be bouncing the 'wock back to your hand, including Doomcaller will add a C'thun to your deck that you can draw and play on the following turn. Then your bounced 'wock has TWO C'thuns in it - and both are at 8 damage instead of 6. And you can repeat it!
+1 Siamat. Most of the time, not very good. But is it worth including it for the one time in a hundred that you nail the Charge off Spiked Hogrider and roll it into Windfury from Siamat?
+1 Seaforium Bomber. Assuming you're waiting until late before you play the Shudderwock anyway, this is probably just strictly better than Lifedrinker - you don't need the heal if you're playing Reno, after all.
- You could also include the Jade package, if you decided to give up on bouncing the Wock.
Also, +1 Deathwing. Is actually terrible, but on the other hand, SWAG.
While the deck does look to lack some draw, I would note that the author's intention is to create an Uberwock rather than to actually win games, which suggests to me that he won't be dropping the 'wock until most, if not all, the deck is drawn. There is, therefore, significant caution to be preferred when including untargeted card draw effects, as an Uberwock is not so Uber when it draws you six ticks of fatigue.
As for the Hagatha comment - the list posted does not include Hagatha the Witch, only Swampqueen Hagatha. Self-destructing Shudderwock Syndrome is not a risk, therefore.
I genuinely feel like lackey shit is worse than pirate warrior AND prince keleseth....
With pirate warrior if you're not dead by turn 6-7 they're out of steam and they just concede because they can't win anymore most of the time, with prince keleseth they don't get to play any two drops, and if you beat them on board and they run out of shit to contest you can win, but with lackey shit it's just infinite minion generation that fills their board and buffs the minnions, and if you clear their board they can just infinitely generate another one, with like 3 cards. and the draw is consistent unlike kelly or pirate warrior where sometimes your pirate warrior would have a hand full of all weapons and you'd win just because their hand is TRASH or your opponent doesn't draw kelly and their minions aren't OP because they don't have the +1/+1.
That and it combines two things i hate, cards you just autofill into a deck without thinking and then fill out the rest of the deck(think of druid in kobolds and catacombs where you put in the OP druid cards and just filter out a win condition into the deck), and cards you can just play out without using your brain.
"Just play mossy horror" Two things, they buff the 1/1s so they're out of range, and if you're waiting for a clear by turn six you're already dead.
"Play warrior with warpath" 2 dmg aoe on turn 4 gets shit on by the new lackey that buffs health and doesn't do anything about the lackeys that deal damage on the turn they are played at all, such as kobold lackey, or the +dmg rush lackey or the lackey that summons a 2 drop that will have more than 2 health guaranteed. Lots of warrior cards are good against lackeys such as the 3/4 that spreads 5 dmg out, and that is why all these cancerous people are screaming to delete warrior from the game.
"Play dragonmaw scorcher" Same thing as mossy except it's one turn faster and they usually buff the health of their shit and even if they don't, they can just make a new board right after and your shitty 3/5 won't contest for shit.
If you enjoy playing lackey shit fine, you didn't implement this shitty system in the game you're just abusing it, because it's broken. But i will rope you every single turn, if you queue into me in casual mode for it, because it doesn't take skill it doesn't take finesse it doesn't take a brain, you just play shit and play shit, and play shit, and it always refills your hand so you can keep playing more shit. Congratulations that's what hearthstone is now, and play shit simulator. What does this card say? Who cares just play it if it glows in your hand.
Last reply, I promise! I love Shudderwock decks and I've been meaning to make a new one but didn't get the quest until yesterday. So I was inspired by a few choices in your deck to make mine, which is not Highlander, but still a pretty good one so far (Wild Rank 11, not many games under my belt yet).

Interesting that they went with Elise. With her role this expansion, is she becoming the face of Hearthstone? Being a Teacher, it makes sense. She can reveal new information to players and educate them about the game in general.
The countless episodes of vengeance in Stranglethorn, performed with my Rogue main against abusers killing my secondary characters while questing... The good ol' times.
Yeah as someone who has actually played priest this expansion, it has basically no other win con at all other than this combo atm, sure if they introduce strong new cards for priest then it can be HoF'd but it straight up would make and entire class useless, other than potentially some resurrect stuff but people hate that kind of play as well

Very often. This is the challenge I like from this game, more than laddering alone.

God damn Shamans can now trigger it twice after they finish the quest. And then again via Shudderwock.
