I bought the Dalaran content because the adventure was cool, and because it was about the very Dalaran. Despite being sub-optimal in terms of gold/dust.
With Uldum i don't feel equally affectionate, by far, so i may actual spare the gold this time, if the reward value is not improved.
Theme-wise, this class could join either Jade Lotus or Grimestreet. I place my bet on Grimestreet because hand buffs would probably feel something that matches Tactician's identity of palnning ahead. But I wouldn't mind seeing Jade Golems in this class seeing it is based on Pandarens.
The amount of cards in your hand (for stuff like Mountain Giant)
The board state (minions, weapons, quests + secrets (but not what secret))
Your mana
Of all of these, your mana is the most important. If you wanted a counter against those Secrets, you probably wanted Flare which is 2 mana. To encourage Zephrys to give you that card (he can see there are secrets active) play him on 4 mana left. Zephrys himself costs 2 mana, leaving you with 2 mana, which is the same cost as Flare. If you were worried about Counterspell, you could use your Eviscerate on something else (even yourself) first to trigger it and then play Zephrys.
He gave me (4) and (2) cost options both when i was at (8) left and (6) left. ;)
We can stay here for ages speculating at all the options i could have played: there would still be a case left where i could have been countered for that turn (ie. If i played my own Evis first, i would have missed lethal: even assuming i could find a tech from Zephrys at that point, i would have had nothing left to actually hit the face).
The point is not what i could have done, but what he gave me (regardless of mana, clearly, since all his options were already at lower cost than mana left).
Otherwise said: could he fix my turn? Yes. Even moreso because he CAN and DOES skip the mana counter if he knows a more valuable option that is cheaper.
Did he give me ONE OUT OF THREE options to do so? No. So he actually whiffed. Independently of how i played him.
Once more, i repeat the points:
Zephrys can never be perfect.
He can't always solve a bad situation, both because the Basic/Classic set is limited, and because chain-reactions could still impair the original plan.
Yet he could definitely be better with more diversity of options, when he is summoned for answers (instead of giving 3 redundant ones, which makes the choice irrelevant).

I feel you ! Happend to me to - went from Rank 2 with 5 Stars back to Rank 4 with 2 Stars ... normaly i would stop after 3 losses in a row but i kept on playing, don't now why tough :) ...
Very nice article - good read and very informative!
The only thing i'm confused about is that you mention something about Spirit of the Shark on two in the Shaman Section ... did i misread something or is that a mistake ?
It'd be really cool if we were given a certain amount of packs(that have nothing to do with our collection) and from the cards we opened we would have to create our decks.
Dude, I love it!!!!! Although the Warlock location is a pretty lame card... You could've thought of something more creative, and that's a fact... I mean when i saw all the other cards they were amazing and super creative, therefore you should rework it. Personal opinion though, don't take my words as a demand. ^^
P.S. The keyword is the most original of the kewords yet. Well done!
He Values things you can play the same turn, and both Cenarius and Alexstrasza will help you far less since you far less the same turn than [Hearthstone Card (Tyrion Fordring) Not Found]since you wouldn't be able to play them.
Tyrion is just a value option, not specifically a defensive option. It's one of , if not the single best value card at 8 mana.
Got only one Uldum despite making sure I had 4 hours of watching after I got the message for receiving it.
Seems like a lot of people didn't get all their packs... I think I'm probably one of the few that actually watches actively (not at the start of every broadcast, it started at 4 AM and that's obviously a problem for people who have jobs and want to keep them) so that's a little disappointing.
A wild meta report would also be appreciated, perhaps less often that Standard report as in wild thing stay same-ish for longer. But Wild is ignored not only by Blizzard, but also by almost all hearthstone related sites. Would be neat if OOC would take wild more seriously that other sites.

What’s the data and the database your report relys on? Would be cool to know sample size etc.
Anyway it’s a great orientation for new players and another option to keep in mind for enhanced ones.
Thanks!!

It's in context to the effect from Spirit of the Shark, referring to the quest reward.

Zephrys only knows the following:

Looks decent - and Priest is my favourite Class so i will give this one a try !

Is there any chance we'll see a meta report for Wild also, maybe monthly (since there the meta shift more slowly)?

Winrates, deck tiers (according to winrates), and maybe frequency too yeah.
Well basically a meta report as the other sites do.
Not criticising the article, which is pretty insightful, but it doesn't feel like a 'report'.
