I have barely played as Thrall since Un'goro launched. Murloc and Elemental both seem pretty dull. Am I misreading the situation?
There's stuff I'd rather craft than Unite the Murlocs or Kalimos. Might as well work on some golden portraits.
Is it time for Thrall to head over to wild? I have been eying Neptulon for a while. How is Evolve in wild? Nep turns into an 8, so that ain't too shabby.

I haven't played a lot of Shaman yet in this set either. Not a lot of the cards have stood out to me. And I miss my dragons a lot. No more Chromaggus in my Control Shaman T.T
Although, I will end up messing around with Spirit Echo. It could be good in a Crusher style Shaman since it has similar applications to Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate. Imagine in Wild using Spirit Echo on a critical minion like Emperor Thaurissan so you can use it again later. Or using it on Elise the Trailblazer to get extra Un'goro packs. Of course you can also use it to double up on your deathrattles in a N'Zoth, the Corruptor deck, which might be pretty good since there aren't as many strong deathrattle minions in standard right now. There are many cool possibilities. If I find a cool build I'll make sure to post it to the forums. May the elements (and elephants) guide you.
Oh my... This nostalgic feeling of being the underdog again =D Makes every mirror match more special.
I agree with Revenant Spirit Echo looks great in a crusher deck. I think it, even, might be used along with Ancestral Spirit, creating some crazy value, which is control shaman lacks right now. I'm just missing some dust to try this out since I wasted all my dust in Kalimos, Primal Lord and Stone Sentinel ¬¬
But still I'm glad we can be like old times, arguing the best strategy for our favorite class and not just salty rant.
I haven't unpacked any spirit echoes or Faceless Shamblers, and only one Earth Elemental. Also, with no Elemental Destruction, I'm not sold on control being viable. Wild, maybe?
Trying out the token Bloodlust aggro to see how that goes.
Yeah it's funny that I mentioned Spirit Echoes the other day. I've seen multiple top players and streamers running it in Jade Shaman today. It combos so well with Aya or Jade Chieftan.

I do like the idea of being an underdog again...
My avatar is not amused by you having only one Earth Elemental. Git gud. Lol
Unfortunately if you wanna play weird decks you gotta use some dust.
So far to me Volcano has seemed to be an ok alternative to Elemental Destruction.
Elemental is great against aggro decks, you jsut build walls that'd make Donald trump and Garrosh proud, but it's really weak to mid-range decks that are seeing a resurrection.
I personally like playing Murloc Shaman and think it's underrated. The consensus so far, since even before the release, is that midrange Jade + Elemental build is the strongest archetype for the class, but it's never seemed that fantastic to me.

I keep waiting for Tavern Brawl packs to deliver on those pricey Shaman epics... I don't have any Far Sights, either. I will have to bite the bullet and craft this stuff, eventually.
I'm sure I'll be sick of aggro soon. The big guys beckon.
Shaman isn't bad. Far from it actually. It's just far less able to smorc opponents down and win early board through over statted minions. It seems far more skill based and fair. Definitely a much healthier shaman for Hearthstone. If you can't win without your tunnel trogg into totem golem then good luck with wild.
+1 for Jade Elementals. Played it from 15 to 10 with only 2 losses.
I played a modified version of what Noxious plays here:
I'm only three cards short for that deck. Looks like it could be fun. My concern with elemental decks is that they seem to sacrifice flexibility for power. Get that train going and hope nobody throws a couch on the tracks.

I detest Murlocs, so my vote goes to the elemental deck.
Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
I think there's an elemental deck there, kalimos is strong enough to make it happen. Just not the easiest deck to fall into place.
Check out my fun and innovative decks here:
Beat your opponent to a pulp with Revenant Warrior or outlast them with Demon Reno Warlock.
Here are my Shaman Decks
Jade Elemental
No Jade Elemental
Unite The Murlocs
in standart, shaman is just too weak in un'goro meta!
quest does not see play at all and the ele curve is too slow against most of the tier 1 and 2 decks so here we are : shaman tier 3.

After a loooooooooooooooooong reign of terror with enough broken cards to make a 60 cards deck is just ok shaman don't be tier 1 for a season.
The 11 games in a row vs midrange shaman still fresh in my memory.

Not sure about the hate for Ele shaman. It's a little rough to get the hang of but I'm climbing up from rank 5 just fine with it.
I hate zoo

The token aggro deck is doing really nicely against the anti-rogue field. Fuck you, Rexxxar!
