From when they were first released I've been tinkering with and sharing Grim Patron and Flamewaker decks (even when they were first considered 'underwhelming'), made a pretty good Dreadsteed guide, and have come to the realization I love making underloved cards find their place.
So with Whisper of the Old Gods coming out soon, I want to do that again.
As fate would have it I've been under the weather, so I have time to play for quite a while and tinker with card combinations. Now obviously people will be making "HOW TO PLAY YOUR C'Thun" vids and decks, so I want to make something different.
Most of these cards on the poll seemed underloved, and all of these cards on the poll I know I can put into viable decks. So if you want to see a how-to for a weird card, cast a vote and I'll make a tutorial for the top 2. If this gets a lotta love, I'll make a tutorial for the top 3. A stupid amount of love, and I'll probably do all of them.
It would be interesting to see how you think Anomalus can be made viable and fun because all I see is a card that's useless and boring.
Mukla's role is pretty clear, he's very similar to Toshley, although arguably more reliable in a buff deck with stuff like Djinni and Bane Sisters or in Tempo Mage.
Blood Warriors is interesting because it adds something that Warrior just wasn't able to do before. The big question is what sort of deck to build around it. Frost Giants? Dragons? Midrange? Patrons?
Only bad thing about c thun I feel is the count down... The buff you give c thun is also seen by the opponent which means he is on the clock to kill you. But if it's a mirror match which is gonna be 90% of the time Rng will decide who will win
Look, I'm going to play the Fuq out of Yogg-Saron, Hope's End for the fun of it, but for the life of me I can't think of a way to make him viable on ladder.
Each spell you end up casting, for better or worse, could be the end of you. I just don't see how to build him in a >50% winrate deck, but someone please please prove me wrong.
One last thing(s): Just wanted to thank everyone for their support, and also wanted to say I'll try to have the Master of Evolution video up tonight (Shadowcaster's great, but is going to take a while to tinker with and figure out fully)
Also, is there any advice you'd give for the video or anything you'd prefer for future guides?
Whew sorry the Shadowcaster how-to took a while; the two of us fell madly in love and got distracted.
But yes, spent a few days making a comprehensive "who to play with her", and kept adding to the list. She's a wonderful card and I highly recommend giving her a chance.
I like bizarre things.

Edit: Just so you know which cards are which, Fandral Staghelm, Giant Sand Worm, Anomalus, Steward of Darkshire, Herald Volazj, Xaril, Poisoned Mind, Shadowcaster, Master of Evolution, Blood Warriors, Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale, Nerubian Prophet
Oh, and for pandering's sake here's that Dreadsteed guide if you want some help with the card.

None of above...
Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
Dead but dreaming
Yeah, most of the above are actually relatively well-hyped and expected to be good. I'd really love to see Primal Fusionwork though.
I could definitely look into Primal Fusion... Definitely nice to see Blizz still trying to push for full-on Totems.
But ya, even though some of these are hyped (Master of Evolution and Shadowcaster in particular), some of these cards like Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale and Nerubian Prophet have been already dismissed entirely, which is just blasphemy.
Am I the only one who thinks that Fandral Staghelm is a little bit too overhyped?

I think Herald Volazj is the most interesting here, it has a lot of potential for combo, don't know which combo though.

Shifter Zerus is the most interesting. Cool mechanic.l
Vote for my card!
Darkspeaker. Someone is going to find a way to break that card and I will be first in line to try and refine it.
Building Quirky Decks Every Week, Loving Life at Rank 15!
Alright, gonna be needing a tiebreaker here... And great response so I'll do the top three.
Primal Fusion could be perfect for having Shaman fill the aggro hole now with the recent nerfs.
How to use Shadowcaster, how to build around Fandral Staghelm and playing Master of Evolution videos will be up tomorrow. Thanks for the input guys!
GOD that took forever... but ya, after a few hours of tinkering with him and after a few hours of editing, I present to you...
"How to play/build Fandral Staghelm".
Seriously give it a look though; this card is incredible and has a crazy amount of potential. Enjoy.
