There once was a tale of Timmy, Johnny and Spike. Three Magic players.
Timmy liked to have fun and do weird and strange things and just have fun. Enjoying a deck is the most important part for this player.
Johnny likes to make decks and see if he can make an interesting card work. He sees making deck not as a part of card game, but THE part of the card game.
And Spike likes winning and to feel powerful. For the Spikes of this world winning equals fun. If they are not winning they aren´t having fun. They don´t care where the deck comes from, they care if it wins.
This applies to every card game. Now it´s difficult to fit exactly into this and a lot of people have a bit from another, but these are the general archetypes of the players that exist in card games.
Moral of this story everyone plays the game for a different reason, and neither of them is playing the one true way to play a card game. And neither of them is entitled to another player playing the game their way.
Oh man, I remember reading this when Mark Rosewater wrote this in his article.
If i were you, i'd try the best budget version of Evenlock that you can build with your current collection first.
To see how you like it.
While this deck isn't the most expensive, it absolutely needs the epics: Mountain Giants, Molten Giants and Faceless Shamblers. The plan is to heropower very often and apply high pressure with the overstatted minions and you can't do that without them.
it doesn't need shamblers though that's one version of the deck, the other version uses fat demons like dreaded infernaland the dk, and there are points in the meta where you'd run a version over the other ie: if facing too much silence tech or heavy late game decks, shambler version is pretty bad
You play all overstated minions and Mojomaster Zihi, so it never really goes to late game, because beats with Giants hurt. The deck is favored against all Renodecks, only Odd CW is a bad control MU.
Having reached at least rank 4 last 4 seasons with even warlock (once legend), I agree with this sentiment. Going second and playing Mountain Giant on turn 3, followed by Faceless Shambler turn 4 is often game. The version I play has The Lich King, Ragnaros and Bloodreaver Gul'dan for late game, and the number of times I've played Bloodreaver Gul'dan and it's made a difference is propably in the single digits.
The deck was much better in the days of even shaman, but still carries a punch. Control Warrior is beatable, but unfortunately one of the worse matchups is Big Priest, which you'll run into in about 1/4-1/3 of your games around rank 5 and up. It's become a better matchup after they started to include Archmage Vargoth, as it dilludes the summon/ress pool with fewer early taunts.
You're screwed if you have to top-deck Hagatha's Scheme and Volcano is usually enough to clear the board anyway.
I'll second this. In a Shudderwock deck, you typically want to mulligan for early game defense, and Hagatha's Scheme in your starting hand is usually too cumbersome. Volcano is a much better topdeck.

It has to be, yes. Rush was introduced after Karazhan, so it propably wasn't even a consideration. Nice catch.

I could see her being used with Plot Twist in some way.

Have you tried Sneaky Devil, so that your Recurring Villains will always have 4 attack?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but I think we can go even lower.

It's deathrattle, so Webspinner would be a better comparison.

Oh no, if only there was some kind of format in which you could play cards that was not in standard. What a wild idea.
