Plot twist warlock with [card]dollmaster dorian[/card] has been pushed hard this year, only getting no love from DoD. Its just not that popular or too inconsistent. I think there's plenty of potential here, but since the dollmaster himself will be leaving standard this April, it needs alot of support to get anywhere in the next expansion. That aside, having played …

I can help you with Quest paladin. Its unfavored, but not impossible. You just have to time your eggs and whelps so they can only silence one copy each time. Most quest priest decks play a total of 4 silences, and [card]mass dispel[/card] will only get rid of the deathrattle, not the minion. Just make it so its always awkward …

I really don't mind drawing others to fatigue as a strategy or win condition, but milling as a win condition is just too polarising. It tends to make certain matches 'unfun' for your opponent, an auto concede when facing a deck that is tailor made to destroy your archetype.

If it must exist in hearthstone there needs to be …

Not only: I've also seen Zentimo + Hex multiple times, which was cool when it was a meme, but now that it's meta it's really gross lol.

To be honest, most of Galakrond Shaman's problems will go away once Shudderwock rotates (once you clear the two 8/8s you won't have to play around the …

I think the greatest insult to anybody with even the slightest glimmer of self-respect is when every one has to walk around eggshells when youre around.

The change to the card art is simply to skirt by ratings so the games legal for a mass audience. Or alternatively its, …

Aggro decks going tall and wide is usually how they play. Without this, then its a face deck, trying to outlast your enemy instead of gaining tempo.

I don't think there's an influx of cards that gives more tools to aggro decks while giving control the cold shoulder. Its a pretty mixed bag, that really depends on how you …

I think the greatest insult to anybody with even the slightest glimmer of self-respect is when every one has to walk around eggshells when youre around.

Unless you happen to have a subscription with hsreplay you won't be able to see the data post nerf since its intertwined with the data from the start of DoD. Will take another two weeks for people like me to see it.

But on short note, shaman is no longer in the top three best class according to hsreplay, …

Just a few observations;

- If youre aiming for pure handlock, then [card]barrista lychen[/card] + [card]omega agent[/card] as a finisher is worth considering. You only need two cards, and it out values priest with their many many AoEs. I would probably consider taking out [card]transmogrifier [/card] (seriously why is this in the deck?) and 1 [card]defender of argus[/card] for …

Excepting highlander decks, the dust cost haven't actually been ramping up. Its just the cards being more specialized , which means you need more cards to play more decks, more so than in the past.

In the previous set rotation there wasn't any highlander decks, which is already one of the most expensive archetypes in hearthstone presently, and I …

Just waiting for that news on the supposed 35 additional cards which was going to be introduced along with the adventure come 2020. On my wish list is some form of deathrattle taunt similar to [card]sludge bleacher[/card] at a lower cost so there's some hope for mage against aggro decks.

Quote From sto650

I do have to say that nerfing Mogu Flesh-shaper to 9 mana makes it harder to get it on the board, but it also drastically improves the Mutate options. The 9-slot has only 1-2 duds in it in standard, and those are a 5/5 and a 6/6. Everything else is better than that, including many …

If you want to go pure dragon with warrior probably the best is to do highlander with [card]Dragonqueen Alexstrasza[/card] + [card]war master voone[/card] as your value finisher.

I like [card]scion of ruin[/card], its obviously one of the best cards this expansion, but if youre going to play Galakrond warrior, then its not value youre wanting to play, …

Also, Scion of Ruin and Barista Lynchen is Valuetown Maximus. Seen a few concedes after that combo. 

Rogue being one of the more popular classes with highlander Galakrond would probably make this less so

That Highlander Rogue got me to Legend this season. Very fun yet incredibly consistent, even though it condenses so many different packages (Highlander, Galakrond, Lackey, Burgle, Deathrattle and OG Tempo).

I highly recommend it if you have most of the cards.

Are two invoke cards really …

And since you may be wondering: Galakrond Shaman is still the best that the class has to offer, although it's far from the beast it used to be. Those seemingly small nerfs turned out to have an impact after all.

 

I am far from convinced. …

Quote From strangerzer0

Go Face with Hunter. Like 1500 dust

Have to agree for the most part. Playing [card]toxic reinforcements[/card] on 1 really swings most mid range matches in your favor.

The deck only suffers to priests and warrior, and only because they can match hunter's hero power. Rogues and warlock have to draw …

I’d say one of the bigger problems Priest has is the fact that so many of their healing cards can’t match up to what other classes have in terms of healing/armor. If you want to play a control deck you’d often have better survivability just …

her flavor text should have been: "She can actually shapeshift you know."

The problem is not with Galakrond's hero power, its just that priest's invoke cards aren't up to snuff against aggro and there's not many ways priest can heal a ton right now. The tempo loss from playing invoke cards currently for priest is similar to rogue, except rogue has more tempo cards in its arsenal so it plays much better …
