    Combo priest is ridiculous! I’m surprised it’s playrate is so low. It doesn’t really have a bad matchup. Meta is about to get turned on it’s head with combo priest exploding in popularity

    In no particular order because I'm undecided

    King Phaoris

    Reno the Relicologist

    Those are the two from SoU that I probably should make. The rest of my wants are from other expansions

    Tess Greymane

    Frost Lich Jaina

    Brightwing

    Hoping to get my last lego soon, and maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be one I want so I can save the dust. I have over 8k dust, just want to make sure I put it where I REALLY want it.

    I have seen enough Reno Mages.

    But honestly thinking of crafting some of the key cards for a reno mage deck.

    I agree. Most of the time I'm ending games by turn 5 or 6. I just hit rank 5! Went from rank 7, 3 stars with only 2 losses. Have yet to lose a game after the changes I made. Will be continuing to use this deck to work on my golden shaman. Great work RavenSun!

    I had given up on Quest Shaman, but this looks fun! Sadly I don't have any Omega Mind to test this out.

    I had just started playing HS right before this expansion dropped. I highly regret not preordering now because of this card back.

    Great deck, almost have hit rank 5 with this. I have made a few changes and have a few thoughts.

    Vessina is amazing in Even Shaman. If anyone is thinking of crafting this card, just do it already. This card has won me so many matches in many decks.

    -2 Fire Elemental +2 Flamewreathed Faceless - I was severely missing having our good old friend 4/7/7. Plus the overload has synergy with Vessina.

    -1 Spellbreaker +1 Windfury - I always ran 1x Windfury in old Even Shaman, I was missing it, and found myself never needing a silence effect. This is more for testing purposes. Might put the silence back in depending on the meta I'm facing. 

    Also debating putting The Lich King back in for a late game threat

    Update: Flamewreathed Faceless and Windfury have won me 3 matches in a row, and the deck feels even more powerful now. 

    Thanks RavenSun for inspiring me to play Even Shaman again!

    Someone broke something, then realized their mistake, and hoped that nobody noticed.  

    "I feel like the three sounds I heard could be explained by an initial erroneous flipping of a switch on the right followed by a hasty, corrective flipping of the requested switch.Then during the resultant darkness and silence, a third, shameful unflipping of the initially flipped switch. Is my assessment accurate?"

    Quote From NightCrawler
    Quote From RavenSunHS

    i play Zephrys TWICE in the same turn, and in neither case did he offer me the SI:7 Infiltrator or Flare that could give me lethal.

    Only 3 redundant options: Eviscerate, Fireball, Swipe. Twice.

    For future reference, if you play Zephy with Brann or shaman quest hero power, he will give you the same options twice without exceptions.  He will not take the fact that he just gave you these choices into account.  If you somehow play zephy twice in a row, the options will only change if the first options became unplayable due to you spending an additional 2 mana.  Since he gave you evis, fireball and swipe on 8 mana the first time, you can assume he will give you the same options again because all these options are also playable on 6 mana

    Not calling you a n00b; this is just FYI

    Not true, I've played him with the Quest Shaman HP and got different options. Granted, 2/3 options were the same, but regardless, it wasn't the exact same 3 choices.

    Only 2 cards need a nerf for standard, and that is Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, and Conjurer's Calling

    All the other cards you suggest are not a problem at all, in fact in standard, I see no problems with any of the new cards. 

    Tip the Scales is sucky to play against, but I don't think it will be sticking around. The meta needs time to answer to it.

    Emperor Wraps is fine.

    Ossirian Tear is fine.

    Heart of Vir'naal is fine.

    Now if we are talking Wild... 

    Quartermaster needs to be nerfed to 6 mana so it can't be played in Odd Paladin. That won't be enough to kill off the deck entirely, but it will greatly help reduce the win rate of the king of wild. It has been on the top for too long, and it's time to shake it up.

    I'm concerned about Flame Ward in Aluneth Mage, but I'm not ready to call for a nerf. Just concerned that card is removing the main weakness of that deck, which was no board clear against aggro decks. Now that deck has an answer to everything. 

    And something needs to be changed with the graveyard mechanic. But that is never going to happen as we are just going to be waiting for "more" data forever.

    Won this week's brawl by coining out Generous Mummy. Helped that the next turn my opponent played Surrender to Madness. Never imagined Generous Mummy would ever win me a game, and to think I almost didn't keep it in my mulligan!

    Isn't Zephrys supposed to give you options for your following turn as well?

    Just had this scenario:

    At 10 mana, I got my opponent down to 10 HP. I then played Zephrys looking for Pyroblast to guarantee lethal next turn. Instead, I was given no cards to set up lethal. I don't remember all the options he gave, 2 were completely useless survival, I think Tirion and Healing Touch?, and 1 was Flamestrike (None of which I had enough mana to play that turn anyway because I played him with my last 2 mana so he would give me something for next turn) to deal with his board of (3) 4/3's (it was a quest warrior).

    If I didn't have enough mana to play anymore cards, why did he offer me board clear and survival cards, if I had lethal setup for a Pyroblast?

    It appears Zephrys might put board clear/survival before lethal, which seems like a major design flaw.

    Maybe if this shows a lot of interest in China, it will finally get Blizz to add a feature like this directly into the game. Tournament mode has been asked for for years! HS is really in need of new play modes. 3 xpacs a year isn't going to keep cutting it for keeping the game fresh much longer.
