Sidenote: I'm not posting this in the 'mega salty thread' because I really want Blizzard to do something about this.
So today I played about 15 games at Standard rank 11 - 9, and more than 10 of them were vs aggro/midrange Shaman. I'm currently playing a deck that I made specifically to counter it (Priest with 2 SWD, Entomb and lots of AoE clear) so I win about 60%. But I really don't care for that winrate, I just don't want to be forced to play a counter to one single deck every single game. And even if you tech your deck just to counter Shaman like I do, there's still a pretty big chance you'll lose to them if they get the right cards at the right time (and there are A LOT of right cards for the right time).
They drop a Flamewreathed Faceless on turn 3 with coin and you don't have Shadow word Death? Game over.
They drop Tunnel Trogg on turn 1 into Feral Spirit with coin on turn 2? Game over.
And even if you survive that, how about a free Thing from Below on turn 5, or your Ancient of War getting *poofed* away by a 3 mana Hex?
My point: A while ago, many people were on the verge of quitting because you were forced to play Huntard or a counter to Huntard, and I know quite a few people who actually did quit because of that. Blizzard heard their complaints, and did nothing. Exact same thing with Secret Paladin in the last couple of months. And if they're now going to hear our complaints about Shaman and just let that shit continue until it's essential cards go out of standard in 2 years, I'll be the first to quit because I'm not looking forward to 2 years of building decks only to counter Shaman.
Ps. If you're going to say 'k bye you won't be missed', just remember that this is exactly how WoW started to die out: Blizzard not listening to the most devoted part of the playerbase and instead making content just to get new players excited for a few weeks.
Pps. If you're going to say that Shaman isn't op at this moment, then why is over half of the ladder using it?

You can, just ask for a refound.

yeah, woulb really good for game that only 0,00000000001% or the played base had a meta breaker card

Garrosh DK might see play in the next years, almost 100% sure it will. Rexxar DK on the other hand probably won't see any play if hunter gets good on ladder, you can tell that by the archtypes that used to work for them before

4 lengaries (only 1 good) from 80 packs FML

I usually buy them before I open it.

The joke is only about you can't kill a Murloc drawing it, the 1 health part is overthought.

Proof?

I didn't test the deck but you posted your review after one f***ing game, dude.
