Congratulations :)

3400 dust, nice. Thank you golden Bloodboil Brute.

This format is hilarious. Shaman and Paladin are so far behind the other classes it's insane.

As we all know, Shaman is not in a strong spot right now. Thrall simply can't keep up with Illidan's early-game tempo, or Valeera's value. However, I feel like Shaman has the tools to fight for a spot in the meta anyway. Besides Totem Shaman and Evolve Shaman, which already have a small (but unimpressive) role in the meta, I feel like there is room for a third Shaman deck, based around two few specific, very powerful cards: Squallhunter and Serpentshrine Portal. These cards give you so much extra burst to finish out games when combined with each other or with cards like Lightning Bolt and Lava Burst, which your opponents won't see coming.

Spearheaded by a friend of mine, he made this spell-damage focused deck:

Inspired by that, I took out a lot of the spell damage cards and made it more Dragon focused:

So, which of these decks do you like more? Do you have another idea to build a tempo shaman build? Or do you think this idea is doomed from the start?

How would you measure skill objectively?

The key against those decks is early-game tempo and anti-aggro tools. Try adding cards like Troll Batrider, Bone Wraith and Khar'tut Defender to your deck.

Hanar, Togwaggle, Seal Fate, Galakrond, Blackjack Stunner, would be a good start.

And here we see why the Demon Hunter nerfs were such a big mistake. Demon Hunter was the only thing keeping Galakrond Rogue in check, which was already the stupidest, most overpowered, least fun to play against all last expansion, and now just got more stupidly overpowered unfair random crap to make them even stronger. Not nerfing Rogue any of the previous nerf cycles since the release of Descent of Dragons was a big mistake, hopefully they rectify it hard. Blackjack Stunner, Galakrond, the Nightmare, Heistbaron Togwaggle, Seal Fate all should be nerfed hard. It's a shame, because the meta was actually really fun before Valeera the cockroach came back crawling out of the sewer. Hopefully the next expansion will be better.

Big Druid is hella fun here. Dropping big guys and big... Void Contracts?

Congratulations! I'm not a fan of the Rez Priest deck but it's still no easy feat to reach legend with it. Mind sharing your stats?

Congratulations! What list did you use?

Change all of them except languagehacker

Languagehacker looking mighty dapper in his picture

I just don't see the advantage of making this a highlander deck. Combo decks thrive on consistency, and only being able to run half of your good draw cards doesn't help that. This is a deck that I theorycrafted before the expansion dropped with the same idea, just no highlander. I tried it, and it's pretty bad in this meta though. You just get killed way before you can complete your combo.

I like how you specifically mention Reliquary of Souls in the Priest list when it's not even included lol

Whoever designed the rogue sets for year of the Dragon should be fired as a game designer. Cards should never cost 0, you shouldn't be able to generate endless lackeys and Flik Skyshiv is easily the most overpowered card since the original undertaker.

Wooh! Cool title! I actually really enjoyed commenting on every single card, since it really made you evaluate your exact thoughts on every single card. Already looking forward to doing it again next expansion :)

It's like Raging Worgen, but worse. That card didn't see play and neither will this one.

This is nothing like Raging Worgen. It has no +attack when damaged, it has no windfury. The only similarities are that it's a 3/3/3. 

With this logic, you could have said this is like Hench-Clan Thug, but worse. 

My bad, I meant Rabid Worgen. All worgen look the same to me ;)

Do we know yet what multiplier we get based on our current rank? In the old system

This is way better than its two brothers, and might actually see play in constructed. Also has the best reveal video of the set.
