Thanks! Recently I’m really trying to improve my guides since they do seem to help. For the Shadowburst Priest for example, already 3 people other than me got legend with it and 2 for the first time ever! I got an especially nice comment on wildreddit about it (I shared the deck on wildreddit and linked to the guide):
’‘Been playing since season 3 (2014?). HIT LEGEND FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THIS DECK.
Thank you for posting and getting me over the hump of rank 3. It's truly been a "wild" ride!
THANK YOU!”
For me, something like that happening definitely makes all the time spent into making a high quality guide worth it.
Plus just for myself it’s nice to go back to old decks and have a place where it’s like a collection of tips and gameplay insights collected over many games.
I know you’re taking a break from hs right now but just wanted to let you know that I did update the decklist to what I think is the best for Stormwind after some testing and good results. So yeah if you’re ever still interested this basically answers the original question about card choices.
Thanks! I fixed it. This deck is fun to get the combo off but it’s pretty meme, not competitive at all. You don’t have a lot of healing spells but having the shadow hero power is worth it since it’s pretty good for board control.
I’m not playing HS that much now due to the number of The Demon Seed warlocks, but I would definitely do a revamp of this deck to include Granite Forgeborns. Kazakus, Golem Shaper would definitely be out just because of how powerful Granite Forgeborn is and a Menacing Nimbus would go out as well. I’m not sure about Canal Slogger yet but would maybe try removing an extra Menacing Nimbus and maybe a Gyreworm to put him in. Another thing I’m going to try is to put Bolner Hammerbeak in and keep Menacing Nimbus and instead remove Gyreworms since it might be easy to activate him for a lot of value after you reduce the cost of elementals using Granite Forgeborn.
So overall I’m confident about Granite Forgeborn helping this deck and being better than Kazakus since he can help you get to your high cost burn cards faster and in general cheat mana, and I’m going to try out Bolner Hammerbeak and Canal Slogger versions after quest warlock in wild gets nerfed.
I’ll update this list and let you know of the results, I like Elemental Shaman a lot so I was definitely going to play a lot of games with it and update this deck to a more optimal version for this expansion eventually.
This is a great guide, one of the best I have ever seen, and looks like a fun deck! 2 combos you might want to consider for a deck with a fatigue direction are Malchezaar's Imp into Cataclysm and Bloodbloom into DOOM!. Both of these clear the board while doing a lot to get your deck closer to fatigue.
Yeah I understand that, I don’t think wild will ever be very popular (although I did read it’s getting very popular in Asia), I’m just commenting an idea about this quest in case any wild players are reading, and are interested.

I just got a message that someone reached legend for the first time ever with a deck I posted, makes me really happy.
Thanks for commenting, that’s awesome!
This is actually my favorite article on OOC in the past several months. Hopefully hs will take action similar to what is suggested here.

WARNING: THIS DECK WILL BE DELETED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THIS POST.
‘I recommend playing mark’s version of this deck except add in an Educated Elekk would be my suggestion.
Thanks for featuring the astral druid even though it wasn’t posted this week!

Reminder to add new sections to deck guides:
First have a small introduction, then say Guide in large letters and have a table of contents for it
Deck Overview
Winrate Stats, and rename Stats to Card Stats
Card Choices (separate this into different card packages and add card pictures)
Strengths and Weaknesses
Possible Substitutions
I usually like writing guides, but one of my principles is to never post a deck before I test it. Good luck to everyone who competes!
