A lot of mechanics blur in this game..

That the shaman legendary doesn't have overload included seems pretty inconsistent with the other class legendaries. I guess windfury just very rarely has enough of an influence on the game.

I think the taunt helps counter that. If it didn't have taunt, then absolutely. He's an offensive minion, but the taunt ensures that he dies a turn or two after he's played.

This draft is ridiculous

My first 12 incoming?

3xKnife Juggler feels unfair.

SeGaTai

better hope you draw those arcane intellects

MMMig

Mother of god...

Madican

3x Knife Juggler combined with a ton of low-cost minions? Yeah, only one response to that.

Man, double raven sure gives hunters a ton of cards, even w/o uth since they can still drop low cost beasts

You're saying raven on purpose. I'm on to you.

So, I've been playing Shaman control in ranked pretty much the entire time I've been playing. I am currently bouncing between the 7-6 level and would like to keep going. Any suggestions to my current list? I seem to struggle most with giant lock and warrior rush when they can get 8-10 damage off before turn 4, but I don't think much can be done about the warriors, you have to lose sometimes and I think those are one of the cases where there isn't much to be done.

That is quite the curve. No real end game to speak of, but the crazy early minions and polys/fireballs/flamestrike should hopefully ensure that doesn't really matter.

The one night I try out a warlock rush deck

so is everyone else

I'm not sure I should really offer advice since I'm only rank 13 at the moment. Seems a bit weird to tell someone who's doing better what to include but here I go anyway.

Ragnoros is probably better than Ysera. They both win you the game if they can stay out but Rags does 8 damage the turn he drops.

If you're running into issues with control, you might want to drop the forked lightnings (which I dislike) and replace them with mana tide totems. A mana tide totem can win you the game if they can't remove it right away and you have plenty of taunts to protect it.

I like loothoarder over flametongue totem but that's more of a personal thing.

If you had a pyro, I think you would win a /lot/ of games, because pyro fills in for a lot of lategame in mage aggro. I think you /really/ want to hold on to some fireballs to end the game; I'd also use mirror entity as lategame if you possibly can.

3 mana wyrms is crazy in that deck, btw.

EDIT: interestingly, you don't actually have /that/ many rares, and no epics or legendaries. 3 knife jugglers, an emperor cobra, a defender of argus, and a blizzard are your only rares (I think cult master is common, right? if not basic?).

I think you ought to drop the faerie dragons for mana tides, or a lightning something + 1 axe for them

I would run Rag if I had it, though Ysera has done some work for me as well. As for the forked lightnings, with all the warrior/hunter rush right now, I'm loath to get rid of them as they have saved my proverbial bacon more times than I can count. Genius idea on the mana tide totems, though. I have no idea how I haven't been using those! Might drop the flametongues for them, but that will require some testing.

My infinity losing streak against mages in arena continues

Bullio

I won 3 games in casual tonight with this deck.



4 games total: I had another win with a 2 mana minions or less variation of it. Threw the decks together to bang out dailies (had 40 spells and destroy 40 minions as well). First time playing in casual. Casual is...strange.

TIFunkalicious

no

please stop

This belongs here before Blizz decides to release a better version on PS4.

I needed anime to post.

that doesn't belong anywhere

Wyvern

Woo, I got eight wins with a rogue! A new record! I've been totally unable to breach 6 until now.

Too bad my rewards were kind of crap. 160 gold and two mediocre commons (one gold, not that a golden common is worth much). That's barely more than what I get for fives and sixes. Oh well, at least I got a Cult Master in the pack.

stopgap

I just drafted a mage deck that I am cautiously optamistic about. I have 3 Arcane missiles, 2 fireballs, 2 flamestrikes, and several giants as well as one of those copy minions. I am a fan. 2-0 so far.

Alice Leywind

I had a dream last night. Of a terrible play, but one I must do someday because it would be the best. And that would be (Any card)> Defias>shadowstep>Defias>Shadowstep>Defias. It would be the worst play possible, but I don't care, because ourtowning 3 times in one turn would be the best.

I needed anime to post.

Ok, I am officially calling shenanigans on Blizzard.

For the first two weeks, I did arena probably 8-10 times. None of my drafts were even halfway decent and I topped out at 5 wins once, with the rest all sub 3.

Then I paid $3 for two packs.

Next draft, the most amazing draft I had ever had. The deck went 6 wins as a result and would have gone more had I not made some bad plays. Draft after that was a Druid one with, again, some amazing cards. That one went 8 wins. Now I draft this:

Its all over the place in terms of minions and removal is kind of weak, but the amount of epics/legendaries I got was ridiculous.

RNGesus is on Blizzard's Payroll.

So this is what my game looks like right now.

The amount of bugs in this game is absurd.

ObiFett

heh, thats a new one

You have to disenchant all the bad cards, man.

Okay. I made my Our town deck. It is hilarious when I manage to get a knife juggler out then procede to shadowstep defias twice.

Defender of Argus helps against rush decks (they are generally too busy hitting you to bother with clearing out minions, so you can often get double buff), but not sure what to do about giant lock.

Not sure if you really need the owl in there, you got 2 earth shocks plus 2 hexes along with the other direct removal. Owl's more for the classes that don't have much good silence or hard removal, and you already have both.

You might be able to remove one of the axes or unbound elementals. At least one mana tide totem is good, its really good if they ignore it, and against other control you can often fish out one of their removal cards to deal with it.

Is there some strategy to a murloc deck? I can't even beat an AI with it, they just kill the murlocs with superior creatures as I drop them, if I ever hit critical mass they board clear

http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/22537-improved-warlock-murloc-80-winrate

this is the one I'm trying

I needed anime to post.

questions:

1. what are you mulliganning for
2. holy shit it filled in two when i hit return i didn't realize the post field did lists automatically
3. would you say you most often lose to big creatures or board wipe
4. have you taken it into casual or just against AI
5. how often do you hold creatures in reserve

override367

1. I don't know what you mean
3. regular small creatures, murlocs are weaker than generic crap
4. just trying against AI at the moment
5. not generally, but I'm averaging a loss by turn six as it is, I don't know if I should just be ending turn over and over until I have enough mana to summon a bunch of stuff? but by then the board is full of mad bombers knife throwers and crap
