I would agree that neither should be sent to HoF, but perhaps it's time to at least change DS like I mentioned in my previous comment to at least limit the OTK potential. This change could potentially open up design space as well, allowing Team 5 to make some other interesting cards for Priest that would allow for new strategies or win conditions.
And speaking of Mind Blast, I was actually upset about that going HoF. I mean... Priest in WoW has a Shadow spec! So why not allow for some sort of Shadow Priest abilities like Mind Blast to exist?! Mind Blast didn't even feel like a huge problem like it used to back when they could Shadow Visions a couple extra copies to their hand.
Another option is of course dropping Emperor Thaurissan once Shudderwock is in hand, which would help in two ways: 1) You can now do double battlecry with Shudder on 10 mana. 2) It helps you in emptying your hand in preparation for Grumble sending six 1 mana Shudders to your hand (potentially).
You could add a Fencing Coach if you have any trouble with the Doppel->Grumble ordering of Shudder's random battlecries. Play the Coach the turn prior to your Shudderwock turn, smash the new hero power and watch the magic happen. The only thing that could be bad is if Grumble hits first during the first round and then in the second round if Hagatha goes off before Grumble. Then you'd lose your Shudderwocks. If you go this route you may need to do it without Hagatha, or maybe add in a "Heal all friendly characters" card as well.
One thing I'm seeing, you lack in card draw and that was always a big issue in Shudderwock decks before. Do you feel like draw has been an issue?
Oh I have. And this being 31500 Dust is on par at least. As for results? Mixed to terrible. I played it for 15 games and dropped to Rank 15. But at least I had fun dammit!
Looks decent - haven't encountered many Quest Hunters so far and most opponents will not expect it ... is Halazzi, the Lynx needed or can i replace him with anything?
Looks like a decent and fun deck - but i do not have Octosari - not sure if i should craft him ... any replacements for him or is he just plain powerful in this deck and therefor needed ?
Honestly, waiting for Tombs of Terror to come out! I bought the Dalaran Heist with gold and honestly it was refreshing to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the latter to just play a difficult but at-my-own-pace dungeon crawl not once but ten whole times (counting heroic)! It honestly gets me hyped watching the Tombs of Terror trailer and I can't wait until the 17th!
Your deck is really cool, i love it, i'm climbing slowly (5 to 3) but it's a pleasure to play a deck with octosari ! thx mate :)
i'm also playing Sahket Sapper instead of Blightnozzle Crawler, just because it's a new card and because a priest rage quited against me cause it sapped the good minion

We've got a known issue with votes doubling up after leaving a comment on a page. We'll definitely get this fixed!
Mecha'thun Subdue Paladin!
Nice idea, but you can draw Subdue with Prismatic Lens and break your own combo... :(

The first time I played the mage secret, "Flame Ward" and got to clear my opponents board of murlocs was spectacular!

So could you say that this is an non-interactive, "skip a turn and dump your useless cards" kind of game?
Isn't the Warrior the aggressor though with buffed taunts and healthy mechs?
What is Kobold Lackey saying?
Even after being told that I still can’t hear it. All I ever hear is “suck steel swine” or something along those lines

do you guys sometimes play a worse version of a deck, just to fit the theme?

Do you think this card is worth crafting just to boost my combo priest winrate?

Shirvallah OTK paladin is still a good option, especially against hunters, which I've encountered a lot at ranks 10-5.
