It's easier to play around IF you have a deck that regularly plays minions/goes wide. The problem with Kazakuzan Druid is that it completely shuts out control strategies, so the idea that "just have a minion" to stop Embers is not helpful for these decks. Yes there is 1 exception in that Control decks play Raid Boss Onyxia, but there's also several treasures which are board wipes anyway, so it's not difficult to play Embers onto an empty board (esp. when you have over 10 mana or 0 mana removal with Book of the Dead).

It's just too much unconditional damage in 1 card, it's different to other burst strategies because they generally rely on other conditions to be met and require multiple cards to be used. 

So they kept Embers of Ragnaros, which will still be the highest "burst from hand" especially with Solar Eclipse. At least with Locusts you only took 14 in one turn as opposed to 24- 48 with solar. I mean it's a step in the right direction, but I fear it won't really change much in terms of matchups/variety of decks being played. It seems pretty ridiculous that Blizzard nerfed a bunch of OTK strategies in recent patches and decide to just make more cards that create the same problem.

what do you mean by "becoming" unsavory, at least since the 80s being a gamer was practically a slur and while more recently there is less negativity towards the tag (because a lot more people play games) it's still not something i'll openly call myself or be proud of. there's still a fuck load of baggage if you call yourself "gamer" in todays culture.

there are some nice minions in the 6 drop slot if you intended to evolve them as well Imprisoned Antaen Forest Warden Omu Savannah Highmane Lightshower Elemental Ring Matron Kresh, Lord of Turtling Cairne Bloodhoof Onyx Magescribe and Taurajo Brave

oh god don't remind me, i got 6 copies of that bastard when he was released (no duplicate protection back then)

ahhh yes shaman really needed a 1 mana fireball+ that unlocks mana crystals /s 

the puzzles were interesting and some of the other fights had cool mechanics that i enjoyed, i'll say though that the medivh fight seems way over tuned, had to restart it more than 6 times because he has such insane tempo turns with atiesh and your deck is mostly playing vanilla minions on curve. 

deck often relies entirely on discovering several burn spells to finish with bru'kan, might as well just play a straight up burn deck in the first place, or basically any other shaman deck. there's very little reason to be playing this control shell over priest right now outside of enjoying the discover/rng generation aspect (which priest also does better)

not sure what op is smoking, warlock is in absolute awful spot atm i have been playing it pretty much since rotation (tryingt get 1000 wins portrait) and there's no unicorn warlock deck that people are missing, it's been fully explored by this point.

it folds to mage, hunter, demon hunter (any version), weapon rogue (yeah rare, but there are a few about still), token druid unless you have perfect removal draws early.

it's best matchups are warrior and priest (priest is basically free win), does mediocre vs paladin and shaman decks usually have enough reach/burn to finish you off. 

only reason to play the deck is if you are a masochist or are looking to get x win portraits.

Quote from Zuparoeban >>

Autoconceding is something I think should never be implemented, that would really turn the game into rock/paper/scissors haha.

I think a better idea would be to have the option to ban one class when going into the queue, or maybe even a seperate game mode with bans enabled. 

 uhh no being able to ban a class would make priest quite op, they are only really being kept in check by warlock right now.

i think auto concede would be a fine quality of life addition and really don't see how you could exploit it in a bad way. there are just some matchups where it's not worth your time to play it out, so saving users a few clicks here and there for no real in game advantage seems fine to me.

Lady in White, deck of chaos and Luna's Pocket Galaxy all struggled in varying meta's when they're at a fair cost; None of which were in such a dire position as warrior is atm too. Even lorthemar struggles at being a win condition in warrior and that has brann and Zola synergy potential to get some stupid stats.

Unless they print something relating to a fire control warrior that has some great utilities with this spell, this will probably end up being junk, well, maybe a solid 2/5 card...

Good pick in arena though

But what's the point? It doesn't help in the progression of having 7 Boars die. It triggers the Deathrattle when the 7th Boar dies, at which point the extra Deathrattle on the weapon seems irrelevant.

It doesn't work tho, Elwynn Boars have to die this just take the "If 7 died" deathrattle.

I don't think it works like that. If the Weapon gets destroyed, it wasn't an additional Boar that got killed. It would only work after 7 Boars already died, at which point it's completely useless.

Evolve Shaman is back, this will be absolutely GROSS with Boggspine Knuckles

Yeah, more unblockable, off-board face burn for Shaman sounds like a good idea...

I am scratching my head as I cannot begin to understand the reasoning behind the new nerfs. So priest gets three of their cards hit but Illidari Inquisitor doesn’t get touched? And Warsong Wrangler is unchanged? And what about toning down or reversing the buffs on even one of the multiple cards that were overtuned for shaman? You’re trying to tell me none of those cards deserves to be tweaked but priest deserves the hits because it performs well in high legend?? Legend is about 0.5% to 1% of all players allegedly so I would love an explanation as to why that playerbase should be catered to as opposed to the other 99%.  I’m only playing Rogue, Mage, and Paladin so these nerfs don’t affect me but i cannot fathom the motivation behind the cards they chose. 

Perfected my balls, this deck is absolutely garbage

If anyone wants to actually perfect this version:

- 1 Mankrik (you have no draw, bad with Raise Dead), -1 Acidic Swamp Ooze (actually useful only vs DH and Windfury shaman), - Condemn and -1 Archdruid Naralex (pretty bad/very situational cards)

+ 2 Cabal Acolyte +2 Wave of Apathy +1/2 Against All Odds.

Reason: Almost always better cards, insanely better vs shaman, less Rng on Raise Dead allowing you to focus on matchup' specific gameplan. Allows you to beat Control War (and their double Rattlegore), steal minion from N'zoth pool (ehi Illidari Inquisitor), faster to disrupt enemy's gameplan, last of all Wave of Apathy is insane even vs aggro because you just need to time to faceroll your Apo-Samuro clear.

Source: High-legend gameplay and personal 74% (29-10) D5 to Legend

To OT: I would suggest to focus on general deck guide and matchup explanation, rather than single cards. IE the description you used for [card]Sethekk Veilweaver[/card] is meh for aggro matchups (hard to compare with Condemn) and just nosense for control and midranges. It would save you a lot of time in the future, it's a cognitive bias I've had too :)
Southsea Scoundrel btw is an awesome card, 4 mana 5-5 body vs aggro is insane (because of Apotheosis), it's a pirate and try to beat a mirror match against a good player without that card...

Dude the problem is when the top four cards of the game are from the same class. That’s a balance issue.
