I do not own one single paladin card outside of the basic ones :D I just hate the class and its whole design, have zero ranked wins on it ( while having three golden heros and playing the game since naxxramas ) and allways disenchant a card I get for pally immediately. That being said I still agree with the others telling you not to dissentchant any cards just because you dont like the cards. Only trash your duplicates so your collection stays nice and full :) !
I won't lie - Khadgar is really hard, and gets rolling quite quickly with the potential of some insane synergies, especially on Heroic - but to go as far as to say that you must cheese him is too much.
I've been playing the 5th wing of the Heroic Heist since it came out, with the sole purpose of clearing it with every class, deck and hero power. So far, I've completed 8 heroes, half of which I beat with 2 hero powers and decks. The only time I used the Sound the Bells cheese was when I've first found out about it - and I've just wanted to experience it.
There are many ways to beat Khadgar, and all it takes is a good combination of cards \ treasures and sometimes just a bit of luck. My main strategy against him is to not care so much about his early turns, but try to slow his roll at all costs towards the 4-5 mana mark. He usually spams a lot of cheap spells early on, which can deal with a lot of cheap minions and deal ~20 damage easily, but then he runs out of steam - so just roll over his elemental dudes and you should be in a good position to win. If you are having trouble, try looking into Anomaly mode - some anomaly effects you can really build around, and the last 4 mages have a hard time exploiting them well, thus resulting in a net positive effect for you :)
Firstly, I wouldn't disenchant cards from 'disliked classes'. The classes shift and change and what you like now won't be true later. If I had disenchanted classes I didn't like back in 2014 (Rogue) I would've been unable to play Tess rogue, one of my favorite classes. Meanwhile folks who threw away hunter cards for being 'too aggro' missed on out the slower midrangy decks they ran just last year and might've liked the mech version which is more tempo than 'do me face'.
For example, you talk about shaman overload sucking, but my favorite deck right now is Murkey Shaman:
Mucky ShamanA Big Shaman Deck created by Dakarian. Last updated 1 week, 2 days ago
Which uses almost jack all of overload and that overload doesn't really affect you (your key turns are around turn 5+ and you typically cast the overload cards at 3).
Personally I focus very little on class and focus more on archetype and decks. Each expansion when I get my cards, I look to see what sort of decks I can make with them and which decks I can make that I would like to try out if I just craft 1-2 more cards.
As for what to do now.. wait. We're LITERALLY going into a new set and there's no way to tell what that set is going to do. We won't know which classes will have control based decks and there's literally no point to trying to guess now when you can just wait for after the expansion and know 100% which decks you'll want to make.
Basically, just wait. Enjoy the hype train. Look at the new cards. Leave your collection, dust, and gold as is and collect all you can. Buy your packs, open them, let the folks with $2000 hearhtstone budgets buy and make all of the crappy decks. Find out what decks YOU want to do regardless of class, then make them, be happy, then start saving for the next set.
He said it very well, i would never disenchant cards from a class i simply do not like or play - you never know what the future will bring. Sure you can focus on one or two classes, but that doesn't mean you will never play other classes.
For example a friend of mine played hunter almost exclusevely - he had like 4000 wins with hunter and the next most played class from him was mage with about 100 wins - a year ago he decided to play other stuff and liked Shaman and Paladin too - so i would recommend to not dust anything from a class you do not like etc.
Note: this article mainly concerns newer, and especially free to play players, so if you're more experienced at the game or don't mind spending a quick buck, then you can ignore this post. However, I am sure most people have made this mistake at least once.
During the Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion, my legendary from the first bunch of packs was Hadronox. I took a look at it, thought about it for a good few seconds, and immediately dusted it for a few rares. Then, less than a month later, Taunt Druid becomes a tier one deck, and I have almost all the cards necessary except for one: Hadronox, the core component that makes the deck work. Me being a budget F2P at the time, I couldn't manage to scrounge up enough dust in time to re-craft him.
Another, more recent example, during the Boomsday expansion, my buddy got Dr. Boom, Mad Genius as his free legendary. He tried in vain to make Mech Warrior work throughout Boomsday and Rastakhan's Rumble, but couldn't do it. He eventually gave up and dusted him (he hated playing Odd Warrior). And what do you know, a few expansion later, in the Rise of Shadows, Warrior has two tier 1 decks, both of which include Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. Granted, you don't need him to make the deck work, but it's just such a powerful card that you're really shooting yourself in the foot of you don't use it.
The moral of the story is: don't just dust cards willy-nilly. Suppose you opened Harrison Jones, but you REALLY need that 400 dust to make a second Academic Espionage for your Tess Rogue deck. But soon, you may regret that decision, not just because of the card you crafted, but because you don't have that legendary anymore. What if there's a new weapon-oriented deck like Kingsbane Rogue taking over the meta? You now no longer have an effective way of dealing with that deck. Many classic legendaries will constantly find their way into the meta no matter what, simply because most of them are either tech cards (e.g. Harrison Jones) or they're just good enough to put into the deck (e.g.Edwin VanCleef). And they never rotate, so they will likely find a place in some deck eventually. For a similar reason, it's good to hold onto some underwhelming expansion legendaries as well. It's often the case that Blizzard will print a legendary card one expansion, then print cards to support it in a future one (e.g. Tess Greymane and Academic Espionage), or eventually someone will figure out a deck using that legendary that happens to be very strong (e.g. Kangor's Endless Army and Mech paladin).
The worst feeling for a F2P player is being unable to make a deck because you're just missing one legendary, but you opened it before and dusted it. So I think that if you open a legendary in your pack, you should hold on to it at least for a while. Now, there are exceptions: you could just open a bad legendary like Tyrantus or Harbinger Celestia, or you could get a card for a deck that you know for sure that you won't play (I never play Priest, so I dusted my Raza the Chained and didn't regret it, even when Razakus Priest was stupidly overpowered). Worst case scenario, it's 400 dust in card form, but by dusting it you lose the ability to potentially make a deck. Think of it like having government bonds, but in the form of cards. If you don't need the dust right now, then don't dust it. The disenchant value of cards don't go down over time, so you won't lose anything for the time being.
Sorry if this has already been posted before, but I've had to suffer quite a bit because of this, so I'd rather other people learn from this mistake. Hopefully this helps someone.
Well it´s a decent deck but i do not see it as a big problem - normaly it is only problem if he has the Nuts draw - and that does not happen every game. Almost every T1/T2 deck or even T3 deck could kill you turn 5 or 6 with the nuts draw - therefor i don't think something about this deck needs to be nerfed!
I do not agree. You just have to play different games. Good old single player games for example . Like Horizon Zero Dawn, God of war, Red dead redemption 2.
Not every game is a service game now. It's always your choice.
Good old Single Player Games with Microtransactions you mean? Like Red Dead 2, that is not a good choice for your argument there.
90% of the 'AAA' Games released these days cost upwards of $60-100 and have Microtransactions in them. That's just gross.
Anyway, this is fast becoming a topic for something else. Let's just say that you believe one thing and I believe another and leave it at that. That's the beauty of opinions.
Control Warrior is your least favourable matchup, you can put pressure but if they can get even a single turn to stabilise, you pretty much lost. Bomb Warrior on the other hand, is a much easier matchup as they don't run weapon removal or as many board clears, allowing you to pressure them much easier and snowball a lead. However, they are capable of creating an early board which, if you can't deal with it, could cause you to lose too much tempo.
Either deck isn't too popular right now, and Aggro Shaman is definitely a very unique and fun deck. However, Thunderheads are an absolute MUST. I wouldn't recommend playing the deck without them.
Control warrior is pretty much an auto loss in my experience unless you draw the nuts and they completely whiff. Bomb warrior, however, can definitely be pressured given the fact that they don't run weapons projects, and sometimes not even Harrison. Their removal is obviously not as great either, although they tend to have better boards in the early game. If you can draw through your deck with spirit of the frog and line up a big rockbiter turn with doomhammer equipped youll get there a surprising amount. I like the deck because ive been farming mech hunters and doing ok vs mage, plus chucking spells and weapons at my opponent's face is always a good time. Thunderhead's a great card, definitely craft it. Beside it being great in the aggro matchups, the fact that it doesn't die to militia commander nor dynomatic is sweet, and you can often follow up with an earthen might for extra tempo and value.
Someone on reddit linked a tweet of one of the game designers quoting that they didnt change the art for china. Apperently they did it to keep hs in a fresh state and because they want the artists to feel good about their art, which they werent with these cards anymore. Dont ask me for the source i just saw the post on reddit yesterday while browsing through the Hearthstone sub on my phone.

Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]
Can i just ask what kind of programm/app you guys use to make these Hearthstone Cards?
EDIT: Nevermind, i think i found it :) sry

Have you pre-ordered the expansion yet?
I will buy both. Two golden legendaries! But I wait until prime day - maybe there is a cheap coin offer.

Haven't pre-ordered yet - but knowing me i surely will do it in the next few days :)
Worth crafting Thunderheads for aggro shaman?
Yes, Thunderhead is a good card overall but for Aggro/Token/Overloard Shaman a must have!
