I keep getting Velens consistently against priest. is such naughty fun with evis
Sadly I haven't met priest. Faced a lot of quest rogue and warrior, and completely owned them.
The only 3 losses were because I lost the board against hunter and zoo and no removal. And another one cuz I had bad hand with 3 coins, 2 preps until turn 6.
Those are from classic set.
I think patches and thalnos aren't really necessary​. But VC and VT are needed.
Got a quest rogue who was getting Turn 5 prepped quest completion.
Didn't matter, after controlling the board for the start of the game, finishing the opponent off was just a matter of summoning Timberwolf for the ratpack rats.
The bounce nutdraw left the opponent with barely any removal. Felt really good
Oh man, given how often mage ends up at 1 HP with ice block, that's pretty goooooodThis is me teching against Quest Mage lol
wow finally come across a kazakus mage while I was on my Control Shaman. that was a fun match. its so nice when they dont have a burst heal
come to think of it I enjoy fighting priest now that they lack Entomb
now starting to realize why a lot of folks steer clear of Wild. So much crap I dont want to deal with
I remember those days. eventually I unpacked all of those (although I did have to craft thalnos)

fuck this shitty game and fuck rogue quests.
I thought this game might have gotten better and spent $50 on packs only to realize that it's just as shitty as two years ago.
Brode needs to fucking go.

Quest Rouge is delicious I must say.
This pic might trigger some people. I was at 2 and he was at 15. Yogg summons a 1v1 beast and then plays Kill Command to opponents face bringing him down to 10 while I have pyroblast in hand...
lmao
poor Ben gets blamed for like everything
(lol your name fits with the post so hard)

WHY CANT BRODE BE FIRED.
He's by far the most god awful lead designer blizzard has.
edit: whatever, I'm just gonna go back to games that are actually fun and don't require an ass load of time spent or money.

I'm still rocking patron warrior. People were not joking when they said it was a hard deck to master, but I'll get there before moving on.

ya I just thought it was kinda funny your name matched the tone of your post.
But that's the important thing my fellow gaf if you burned out then by all means take a break and if you miss it later then return.
nice post but bro what are your thoughts on Elemental Shaman?? You crafted Kalimos right? I just crafted Kalimos so meaning to give elemental shaman a deeper look but having too much fun with miracle rogue (this expac gave us lots of new shiny toys). I love this little plant that removes enemy minions. such a life savior
edit- and I will never miss reno (in response to 1st comment). I posted my stats awhile back- all my favorite decks are usually favored against them or at worse 50%

I did take a break, I came back and spent $50 on packs and got one damn legendary. The priest quest.
I built a functional deck around that with N'Zoth and deathrattle minions. Only to play games where rogues get their quests complete by turn 3 with fucking pirates.

Trying out Elemental Shaman. It's really, really bad. Probably worse than I expected even. Only decent class card is Kalimos and it's not enough to carry the deck. Blizzard's going to have to give the archetype a hell of a lot in the future if it's ever going to be viable in my opinion.
oh no not the priest quest. I had a "spectate friend" quest and had to give up on him ever winning. And he was rank 21. He had priest quest, lyra, etc.
went and spectated a miracle rogue after that and got that quest completed asap. so went miracle after that
go to Wild to play that quest or look at Kripp's deathrattle priest. he seemed to be wrecking. I think disguisedtoast.com might have some decent decks but I'm not risking my stars on that till I get to next rank floor
Really enjoying the meta right now. Have yet to match up against a Pirate Warrior, never faced a Quest Rogue with any class but Taunt Warrior and have yet to lose against the deck. And getting a little taste for Handlock is great. Kinda sad I missed it back in the days. Deck is so much fun.
Would like to play Rogue and Druid, too. Are there some decklists that don't run quests?

Oh, so you were the one who spectated me lol.
I have problem remembering my friend list.
My rogue deck is in previous page. 17-3 so far.
Edit:
What's your deck? I reach 10 from 14 with elemental shaman.
My only problem is that sometimes you end up with empty hand, and then you draw elemental but can't use the battlecry cuz you didn't play any elemental in previous turn.
You're Raz right? lol I thought that was you
yeah my one friend just hardcore priest fan.
Yeah midrange seems completely dead.
Quests will combo you out.
Face decks will face you out.

Are you playing elemental shaman ... with all the jade cards? Because that is the one every other man and his dog is playing and it is very effective unless you are playing one of the other top decks.
Sigh.
I think what gets me about this expansion is that unless you want to play cancer... and of course 99% of people do you are really playing recycled versions of decks...that used to be better.
For example I've been trying to make a nice deathrattle priest quest deck. And you can do it, and it is fine...but compared to deathrattles of the past it is all just a bit boring. Although I just did get boar + frost shock to the face on turn 1... so there is still some fun to be had.
Thanks! But I don't habe Edwin, Leeroy or the new Rogue epic. 😅 Will try to run something with the Water Package.

Tried pure elemental and jade hybrid. I don't think either are particularly strong to be honest. Way too easy to fall behind and unless you're running Bloodlust I'm not sure what your win condition is.
Like, just playing both the Shaman and Paladin variants, the Paladin version absolutely trounces the Shaman version and that's a class with no real Elementals outside of Lightlord.

Jade win condition is your opponent is playing something other than jade and you are not dead yet.
It isn't a long term strategy, but it sure destroys the fun of people experimenting, so there is that.
Yup, really impressed by the Paladin version though. Works way better than I expected.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Nothing beats tempo in tempostone
The feel when you rip Sacrificial Pact as Rogue from Warlocks.
Old proven archetypes don't suddenly start to suck when new cards come in. In fact they are better in ladder for a while when everyone is still experimenting.

Legend cardback, playing Warrior, well at least you don't have to expect the quest from them.
edit: That's the one thing I really hoped for this year, for them to implement an actual tournament mode. For all the stuff you face on the ladder, the biggest enemy of the game is the ladder itself. I wish there was a tournament mode, bring 5 decks get to ban 2 and just, put a entree fee on it. Even if it was just for the weekends. Would make the ladder less toxic for F2P/New players because the ones that played the game longer/spent more are probably playing the tournament mode for better rewards.
Ah well, there is always next year..

For me it's less about powerful decks and more about playing against decks that are fun, and so far there's a serious lack of those. Playing against rogue, mage and pirate warrior is fucking awful and those are the three most powerful decks right now, and in turn the most common. Even the weaker decks like hunter just spew 1 mana minions at you then rely on card draw from the raptors to win or lose. The game is just in a really shit state, like the guy you quoted i think I'm done for now, i dunno why i thought things would get better when it's obvious they wouldn't. And some people thought Brode would make the game better lol
Rogue got a lot of good tempo tools this expansion. Not sure if you have the card, but I would like to know how the new legendary fits into this deck. With Auctioneer, Violet Teacher, Hallucination, Van Cleef and Razopertal, you probably can get 2 or 3 turns playing more than 4 cards.

I don't have the cards, and I'm not sure if I wanted to craft and use it. Eloise's deck use Sherazin, but I prefer Leeroy as finisher.
When Sherazin dies, and you play 4 cards to revive it, you still need to wait another turn so it can attack again. With 5/3 body I think it dies easily, and it's like a wasted turn for me. And I don't run backstab, 2 cheap spells to revive it. I prefer envenom so I can kill 2+ HP minions.

80G EU Quest still up for trading.
Don't hate on me for playing Quest Rouge.
pirate warrior was never gone but I've only seen one jade druid, one druid in total actually.

well I lost a couple games in a row and overreacted a little, but that is what hearthstone is about.
I have also run into a beast druid without quest that I don´t know what it is.
Finally made it to Rank 5. Fastest I've ever made it to that rank. Made it to Rank 10 with Taunt Warrior and Quest Rogue. Then to Rank 8 with J4CKIECHAN's Midrange Paladin. After that I played Discolock with Clutchmother Zavas to Rank 5.
Quest Rogue was almost non-existent after Rank 10 and when I did face it with Discolock, it would get crushed.
