    That's a very bad idea. Aggro can answer a Doomsayer but has more trouble with Frost Nova + Doomsayer. That's mainly why Doomsayer is in the deck anyway.

    YES I totally forgot about Hydrologists. I might go with a second Kodo or just leave it at 1x. Btw, I made the deck on the spot to try to come up with something to help a friend out, it's by no means an optimized list. I think I like the 1x Ivory Knight and will leave it at 1 beast, now that The Curator will still draw 2 cards most of the time.

    I usually tend to build my control decks with a lot of anti-aggro choices in them because I like playing control decks on ladder even when they're not favored by the current metagame.

    I was playing Y'Shraaj secret hunter, he played on 3 this card, i coined up Barnes an pulled out Y'Shraaj. Then on turn 4 he used 2 arcane missles an frostbolt, het cleaned the board an dealt some damage to face. :D Seems legit

    So you were playing hunter and weren't able to control the board on turn 3 when playing a meme deck, therefore the card is automatically broken. Yeah it's stupidly good, but you do have to build a deck around it to an extent for the card to be powerful. You're lucky to have Barnes on turn 4 playing that deck :)

    Fair point. And now that Elemental Shaman has not proven to be a dominant force in the meta, I think my previous comment is most likely incorrect. It seems to have fallen out of favor at least in Standard, as it's effect is not that strong without Elemental Destruction, but still, a very fun card indeed. You really don't need Reno when cards like this exist.

    I hate to say but I think that's incorrect. Terrorscale Stalker has negative synergy with most hunter decks because it's not a beast.

    I don't understand all the "thumbs down" on your comments. I wouldn't say King Mosh is a terrible card but it's not game-changing either. It requires combo setup with other cards so it's almost always a 10 mana play. Deathwing is a 10 mana play with no setup, no combo, but a bigger potential drawback losing your hand. If you're in a really tough situation and your only out is Deathwing, you'd play it. I think sleep with the fishes deals enough damage most of the time to make King Mosh unnecessary. Ravaging Ghoul + Sleep with the Fishes = 4 damage to all minions. If the board state is worse than that why not just play Brawl? I personally would not run King Mosh over either of those two spells.

    Not true. A lot of times you're digging for an out if you have a bad hand, and much of the time you don't get it. It's not uncommon to draw minions when you need spells because you have nothing good in hand, just to face lethal the following turn. When Conceal was in Standard, I understand you. My go-to deck before Un'Goro was always Miracle Rogue, played it at every fireside gathering I went to, with around a 65% win rate. But I'm not a fan of the new build of the deck. It has potential, but it feels much less active to play, more like a control deck that has burst potential IF you can stay alive. If your opponent has a good hand it can be GG, but sometimes there's nothing there and it's literally play a coin or Prep and hope RNG and your remaining cards give you that chance at an out. Its effect is pretty broken, but without Conceal it's a 6 mana 4/4 half the time.

    Blizzard didn't want to make Shaman the dominant class again, would easily make control shaman upper tier 2, if not tier 1. Personally, I'd be fine with that, because I think control shaman is really cool and loads of fun to play, but yeah enough of shaman on ladder for a while.

    Absolutely love this card. I play C'Thun / N'Zoth Rogue for most of my 80g quests, it's so much fun. Some peole just run a three card c'thun package, but I have been running 6: two of this, 2 Disciple of C'Thun, C'Thun, and Twin Emperor. nothing more satisfying than playing N'zoth and bringing back 3 or 4 decent minions before playing a single C'Thun card and then using Blade of C'Thun out of nowhere. It rarely gets old.

    Worst card in all of hearthstone, even more problematic than Tunnel Trogg, dare I say. This card is the single reason aggro decks are so popular right now, as control decks are extinct until the card is changed. No fatigue and infinitely bigger creatures. At least the other classes are capped to around 10/10, but not druid. If it weren't for Jade Druid, perhaps Pirate Warrior wouldn't be the single most popular deck on ladder...Jade Idol is without doubt a meta-defining card, but not in a good way.
