I opened an Ozruk and never even tried it... here, I just explained on another topic why:
Simply not worth the risk. Too big of an investment, ESPECIALLY if you consider that you had to play differently on you previous turn than you usually would (also probably tipping off your opponent), for a card that doesn't immediately get you something done and can be dealt with by an array of commonly seen removals. Not to mention the 5 attack value, that doesn't pose a serious threat, allowing your opponent time to find an answer if he doesn't have one already.
This coming from someone ho opened him, is playing elemental decks and never even tried to run it for knowing how bad it is.
I would definitively open space for the 3/5 divine shield, hands down, no questions asked, definitively.
Flametongue are insane in this deck with all the little 1/2's, totems, and taunts... so don't cut them.
I'm using one earth elemental, and only one lightning storm. Pretty happy with that.
Yup, Ozruk does have his downsides. He forces you to empty your hand if you want to play a huge taunt next turn which can possibly be detrimental later in the game due to losing some of the activators for elementals. There is also the matter of hard removals and what not but I'd like to think I have enough cards to waste those on so that Ozruk is an even bigger threat. Yup, decided to add one Tol'vir. I didn't add any more because it's not an elemental so I can't play servant of Kalimos on curve to the best degree. Flametongue is indeed insane in this deck, I can attest to that. I currently lack the rich man swag required to get an epic so I can't get earth elemental :').
I'm only running 1 Lightning Storm in favor of 1 Devolve- it's good against adapt minions, stealthed minions, the 5 mana 8/8 quest rewards. I think the Tol'vir is definitely better than the phoenix. Fire Plume Harbinger is kind of weak as a 1/1 but if you want to play a bunch of elementals in one turn for Ozruk I guess it's good. You should run Mana Tide Totem also for card draw.
Okay. I'll take your advice on the devolve since I feel as though I have enough AoE and I get rekt by rogue quest decks. I think I may take out a tar creeper and put in Tol'vir since I find the fireplume phoenix's ping valuable early on. I may take out one fire plume harbringer in favor of mana tide as well since I also have a problem with the stat line there and card draw tends to be a problem for me.
I opened an Ozruk also, does he seem strong so far?
I twice got Ozruk to 5/30. He is pretty good but it mostly depends on the elementals you have in your deck. Whenever I have a certain ozruk play next turn I play out the tokens I get from igneous and fire fly to get lots of value. Its a bit too late for aggro decks but its amazing for late game.
I think maybe toss out the Fireplume Phoenixes for that 4-mana Tol'vir that has taunt and divine shield if you did an elemental activation last turn.
Now I was thinking about adding Tol'vir to the deck but I have a problem with it since it is not an elemental so I can't play servant of Kalimos the turn after and get the effect from it. However, I have considered adding at least one to the deck. I don't think getting rid of fireplume phoenix is a good idea because it's ping is pretty valuable early game. I think I may exchange either a tar creeper or a fire plume harbringer for it since I have tons of 3 costs and the 1/1 body associated with fire plume harbringer greatly reduces its value no matter how effective it is.
So, I opened an Ozruk and figured it was a sign from blizzard to make an elemental shaman deck so, using the dust I got from dusting my wild cards, I created this deck. I feel like it could still become better so please look over the deck and give your opinion on what cards should be taken out and what cards should be put in. Thank you!
