I've been playing a more tempo oriented list with slightly less jades/value and having great success with it as well. I haven't tried your list but mine does fine against burn mage with only 1x kezan and 1x laotheb. Getting on board early and preventing the chip damage is generally how you beat tempo mages since they run few minions and fewer board control tools
Do you mind sharing your list? I am curious to see how it looks. And gratz for your success.
Looking at my decklist now, it appears that I may have lied lol. It's not "slightly" less jades/value, it may as well be a different archetype of shaman that happens to also run quest. WR vs mage is still not bad, but it's probably because of archetype changes rather than specific cards
Congratulations on reaching legend too. If you're still interested in developing your deck, I've found that Zilliax may be a good fit in the current meta. Mage plays a lot of 3 health things, so it lines up wonderfully and it's good for disarming explosive runes. It's also not as useless as secret techs against other things
with the coming nerfs I will have enough dust to craft this deck, do you think it is worth crafting Rhok'delar and Lock and Load for this? other options would be crafting dinotamer brann and/or the shaman quest.
Having played the weapon /spell hunter a lot while it was in standard, as well as zuljin, I can say that you get such a huge hand refill with zuljin that you could get away without the weapon. At the very least you could try the deck without the missing cards and see if you like it?
Also - I was lucky to open the Shaman quest and it is super fun!
So, I made a few changes - I removed both Vulpera Scoundrels, 1 Eater of Secrets and 1 Devolve for 2 Questing Explorers (I wasn't sure if I wanted a River Crocolisk after quest completion, but those proved to be strong) and 2 Bog Sloshers. I also followed people's advice and put Antique Healbot. Dunno if this is anywhere near how the refined list should look like, but it felt somewhat consistent.
These are quite fun. I think the link to the previous link is awesome. It may be nice to retrofit old "Forgotten Wilds" with "next article" link for navigation purposes. I hope you do many more of these. (Take your time... we are in no rush so please don't charge the next article too quickly.)
Need y'all's opinon on a game that I would say has the potential to be upgraded HearthStone. It's called GodsUnchained and operates like HearthStone but with additional God Powers to choose from as well as personal ownership of cards. Is that appealing? The game is in beta now but you can get access with my key coppied below

I've bought my share of HearthStone packs and the premise of being able to trade/sell those cards is what caught my attention.
Inkmaster?

The Forgotten Wilds of Hearthstone - Panthers, Locked and Fired
He also sees play consistently in darkest hour warlock, which is kind of a meme deck but also insane if you pull off the combo t3-t5

Shadowfiend is still consistently played in some priest decks, it's a solid 3 drop, just not very competitive since there are better 3 drops

What about Shadowfiend? I always though it was an interesting card but never saw a place for it.

Congrats on legend! I have not been having the same success with this deck. I'm running approx 25% win rate.

He still sees some play in certain Big Priest decklist if I remember correctly, and although quite niche, he is found in most Big Rogue decklists.

That's some colorful typo ^^
Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]
Next up, Kel'thuzad as a Warlock legendary (should have some synergy with death).
Help me refine a Strongholds concept
Well, I'm planning on going back to the spell concept anyway. The minion style just doesn't look right to me in comparison what I'm envisioning.

True, Wild is way more of a meme than Standard for this deck.
What’s up with Hearthstone forum community?
Before the split everything was fine for us, the forum members. Sometimes, browsing Hearthpwn or Out of Cards feels like a trip to a desert...
A real shame, if you ask me... :(
Help me refine a Strongholds concept
Well if you want it to be a minion with those stats, it at least has to have Can't attack so it can't be buffed and abused.
How to get deck discussion
lol, very creative story telling and use of that feature
If you play Hearthstone you need to see this
