Fun Yet Has Potential Freeze Shaman
Arachnidius has been hard at work with "Ice Cream Shaman". The deck uses Shudderwock nonsense to give yourself plenty of armor via the new Ice Cream Peddler all while bombing your opponent. It's gone through a few revisions since we last posted about it so you should give it a shot!

Holy Tiger Two Turn Kill
Myu has piloted this deck up to Rank 4 so far and also took it into the Brawliseum and went 12-1! Here's what they had to say about the basic strategy behind the deck.
Survive until your deck is empty. Play Shirvallah, the Tiger. Baleful Banker shuffle Shirvallah. Holy Wrath on opponent's face for 25 damage. If opponent is not dead, repeat same process once more next turn (which makes a two-turn-kill combo).

Hakkar Starring In Plague Inc.
We've seen a few different takes on Hakkar, the Soulflayer and kiwiinbacon has crafted one up that also makes use of the Priest quest, Awaken the Makers. A guide for the deck will be coming soon (video available in the guide for now), though you can look at a different take on the deck from Whoisneo.

Remember when K&C released.. the mockings for Spell hunter.. To My Side
yup.. ate my own words.. well done blizzard
Thanks so much for the second mention! My deck (ice cream shaman) actually feels like it’s in a good, competitive spot at the moment. Yesterday I had a 9 win streak on ranked ladder with the latest version. If you passed it up before, consider giving it a go now!
Please don't be rude. This was at around rank 10. I normally play around rank 5 but I also only really play non-meta decks so it usually takes me a little longer to get up there. If you think you have that little chance of making it to your combo then there is a problem with how you play the deck, not with the deck itself, because I can consistently get to the end game every game with it, apart from the games where they are aggro/tempo and I draw no board clears (but even many of those I can stabilise because of all the taunts in the deck).
Have you actually played the latest version of the deck?
The first versions have bad winrates because they were highly unrefined and don't have many total games played (so a. the staistics are not all that statistically significant and b. people (including myself) weren't sure how optimally to play the deck yet). I did check and the current version has a positive winrate (just - 50.7%). Just so we're clear, any deck which has a winrate of ~50% is meta-viable. Strong decks that lots of people play all the time typically have around a 55% winrate. Totally busted decks that absolutely dominate the meta and often require nerfs have 60-65% winrates. My personal winrate only accounting for games played with my newest list is around 70%. Again this is not at all statistically significant because of the relatively small number of games this data is taken from, but all of the stats I've provided show that you are simply wrong I'm afraid. The deck in its current state is at least fine, if not good, which only leaves the player of the deck to blame.
control warlock shits on all these decks
I think you should have featured uther exodia deck instead. It feels much more consistent to play because of call to arms.
I went 31-6 from rank 5 to legend with it and it really felt like a future tier 1 deck. It also does well vs secret hunter because they don't pressure you much before turn 5, and you can clear the board after. Its only slightly weak matchup seems to be odd paladin, but not unwinable either(40-60).
Deck is slightly tricky to play, but its insanely consistent and rewards good players who can time their time outs properly.
Do you mind posting a decklist? I think to know what you're talking about, but I'm not 100% sure
Here you go
You can also consider running High priest Thekal, but I don't have him.
This deck benefits from having a coin because it can otk with only 2 bounced horsemen+pixie. Without coin you need 3 horsemen in hand (assuming they always clear your horseman every turn).
Crystalsmith Kangor seems to be a weird addition for me. It only targets 5 cards, and only 3 of those are fast offensive plays. I'd suggest using Baleful Banker to fill horsemen into your deck or another duplicator to keep tempo as another way of generating horsemen. Though, this would have a bad interaction with Call to Arms as the banker costs 2, though, it'll also bring out your horsemen as well if you used baleful banker at least once.
I don't know how you went at such a win streak. To me, this deck seems very weak in terms of survival. Even with Kangor hopefully getting you out of the mid game, but spell/secret hunter should have no problem against this deck.
A lot of people went high legend with this deck, and you beat most aggro decks pretty easily. I went 11-1 vs secret hunter, so if you lose to it you just suck at playing the deck.
Kangor can be replaced by anything, its not a core card, its 30th card you put in the deck for more 2 drops to pull out.
And baleful banker is the worst possible 2 drop option to play in this deck. Sometimes I wish you could see ranks of people who suggest stuff like this.
If you're woried about survivability just include Zillieax [/card] and [card]Corpsetaker or any healliyng card. Call to arms really wins the mid game alone, and the deck showcased by taurenchieftain93 is more focused on beating controll decks, cause the meta is not very aggroy at the moment
Tried the Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk mage with a slightly different elemental package (Because I was in love with Blazecaller since the moment it came out) and it seems very strong, but I have yet to face an Odd Paladin with an insane draw, so the ability to control remains to be seen.
I beat odd pally most of the time with 1 Blaze caller and 2 Bonfire elemental in the deck. You usually have many early game minion to fight for the board and go for the aoe on turn 5. The only time I lose is when I didn't' draw any Blast Wave or Dragon's Fury.
Yes, I realized the biggest problem is probably Kingsbane Rogue and not Odd Paladin, when you're not able to pressure enough in the early game and with all the new ways to get Kingsbane early, I'm struggling.
Hunter is so powerfull right now PepeHands
I don't know what you're talking about, several streamers and a ton of people manage to rank up easily with the deck. It's incredibly hard to lose with even just 4 Jekliks, especially against a deck that requires board presence. Pro tip: think carefully about your discards, you may be able to make a better play by playing a certain card first. Also, keep a few Jekliks in hand, so that you don't auto-lose when your opponent topdecks Flamestrike onto your board of 4 health minions.
When rank5 allways kiwi makes a deck oh boy. Must be good.
Stop playing then, we don’t need you.
The paladin deck has almoast only better vwrsions.... This one looks terrible
Let me guess, you're playing the version with Stonehill Defender, Corridor Creeper, Level Up!, Baku the Mooneater- oh wait...
