Those priests directly feed of paladins.
Looking at their match-up data, it looks like if you want to beat aggro shaman, your choice is midrange Shaman, zoolock or Warrior.
Coincidentally, the most popular decks other than Shaman? Zoolock and Warrior.
I'm having a ton of fun playing Wild with Tempo Mage. I'm not seeing Shaman or Hunter at all. Warriors are rare. Seems like at my current rank (12) it's all about Priest, Druid and Mage.

GIMME DAT SALT SON!!!!
Degenerate Hunter player has the galls to say something like that when I am trying to play Miracoli Rogue on Ladder. He got whooped by the way.
But that's a Druid player ....

You can see the name of the player he's currently playing and the player that sent him the messages. They're not the same guy.
Clearly. The idea was akin to getting worthless imps from sense demons.
I could see it getting a mana cost nerf to 9, but other than that I'm fine with it.

Oh snap, Darkshire Librarian has a purpose!
Least favorite Shredder moment: opponent gets Cho right before I pop Call of the Wild. -_-
Great get from Piloted Shredder.

Hmm, so this is what you get if you take all the strong cards from Paladin and don't even give them any C'Thun cards. :\ Paladin's early game is total trash in standard.
That graph makes it pretty obvious why Warrior is the most common class on Ladder... it just simply has the most viable archetypes. You can play Control, Cthun, Aggro, Tempo and even Dragon Warrior.
That's how every class should be in the game.
Most common single deck seems to be Zoolock followed by Aggro Shaman.
Though once again, people are underestimating Midrange Shaman in favor of jumping on the Hunter bandwagon.

Edit: Wow, Freeze Mage gets stomped in the current meta. Dead deck.
In my experience, Midrange Shaman struggles against Warrior and Zoolock if you don't get the god draw. Hunter isn't as crazy as Shaman with good draws, but it isn't as limited, either.
Didn't peep were complaining how limited Wsrrior are and in serious problem losing deathbite..
I think Standard needs some more expansions or something to allow other classes more options. Specifically priest and Mage. It is really bad at the moment, so many classes are simply too one-note to be competitive.
Freeze mage may as well not exist given how bad it is at the moment.
Warlock might as well not have anything other than Zoo (and Zoo is probably a bit too good).
Hunter has basically nothing other than "midrange" (which is just aggro but includes Highmanes and Call of the Wild because they are too insane to not include).
Priest has even less. They have to play control.
Paladin has lots of choices but they are all currently terrible because Zoo is so strong and their control options have been completely figured out.
The game just feels like there aren't enough cards that allow classes to do multiple things. I don't know if making more versatile cards or simply just MORE cards in general is the answer, but something is going to have to give.

I've been playing more Arena recently, getting better, my best was 9 wins with a Warlock yesterday.
I think this Druid deck I churned out looks even better, how many wins you guys think is possible?
Damn, only got 9 wins. Lost to Lava Burst top deck after killing one of his minions with hero power, I had to though.

9 is still good, my best run ended at a disconnect at 6 wins when I had lethal for 7 wins :/
Nowadays I'm lucky to see 4 wins.

You should get an extra pack for winning the Tavern Brawl as anything but a mage this week.

Eh, blame Blizzard. They gave Zoolock three really good cards and all other Warlock archetypes got a big fat zero, unless you count the C'Thun card which is kind of okay but still probably the second worst of the C'Thun decks.
I'll holding their word they not made any new demon this time just because the theme of old gods
I better see a lot of new demon at next 2 chance, not meme tier hurt you more card too
this is brutal...
at rank 18 I've been playing with people full of golden decks and golden legendaries... kind of a bummer, but I managed to defeat some and got on 17.
I had a rogue playing me shadowcaster into a Brann and then another shadowcaster into the shadowcaster. it was madness...
finally took me out with a 38/38 C'thun

Renolock used to be one of my favorite decks but I don't really know why people would run it now. It still feels so gutted everytime I see it in action now.
I've been having fun triggering people by running all the Paladin cards from Wild that aren't in Standard.
EVERY GAME is Minibot, Muster, Kings, Quartermaster. Sogood.jpg
I only run 1 Kings, but you could do 2 and 1 Quartermaster. Both are good. It reminds you when the class was good.

nah just completed some quests just now
Yeah unfortunately it came out in December so it qualifies as a 2015 release on par with BRM and TGT. Shame really, because it is by some distance the best content update we've had so far.

Played warrior with FWA x2, Execute x2, WW x2, Blood to Ichor
easy game vs mage.
I did something similar, which works great against most classes and works awesome against Mage if you can bait out the Flamecannons first before dropping a Berserker or two:

You can put him in some fun/concede decks, but he has no competitive value.
I love Shifter Verus. I play him in control decks that can drag a game out like my astral druid. More turns to get a perfect choice.
Might even have to start playing wild next year.

Here's a warrior deck someone took to Legend on the Asia server, using only basic cards (no rares or above, no adventure cards.)
I took it for a spin, had 20 damage on turn 8 vs a Warlock. Pretty nice.

Nah had some other shit in hand I planned for it to discard but opponent got 2 mishas I had to get rid of and it discarded a PO in the end.
Had Warlock dominance, took Zoolock for a spin 5/5 won not even hard. Deck is dumb, dumb fun.
Which sucks because reno, Elise and sir finley are awesome cards that deserve to be part of standard.
Also that title is tilting

LoK is really good w/ OTK warrior so nice to see him run a free one to legend. His list usually runs grim patron as an alternate win condition in certain match ups. I've tried playing it but it does take some effort to make the right plays

Won a Miracle Rogue game without ever drawing/playing Auctioneer. Truly a miracle.
Got really lucky though. Azure Drake gave me Eviscerate on his Fandral and I used Sap on his Dark Arakkoa. Next turn, he plays it again, then Innervates out another Dark Arakkoa. Thankfully I had Shadow Strike and my other Sap.

Got hated on so much by a mage at rank 5 wild. 2 eater of secrets into 2 mirror entity copying MC and Lightlord.
What does that deck do against non secret pala decks?
What does that deck do against non secret pala decks?
There are non-secret pally decks at high ranks of Wild? I would be shocked to learn that.
Well, Eater is good vs Hunter, the mirror, and Paladin. It sucks otherwise but Mech Mage can snowball out of control so a couple of dead cards might not be too horrible.
I've also been told that Secret Pally is the majority of the match-ups at Wild once you get to about Rank 5, so it's probably a good tech choice.
