Deck Spotlight: Master of the Elements Control Shaman
Modded's Master of the Elements is a Control oriented Shaman deck which will knock your socks off. Modded has been wanting to build a control style Shaman deck for a while, but felt it was only viable once GvG hit with the new cards. The deck is filled to the top with annoying removal, and has some large threats for the late game to overwhelm your opponent after you've kept him at bay the entire game.
The deck is on a more expensive side of things at 10600 dust, but it shouldn't break the bank that much if you've already got some of the older, popular legendaries such as Bloodmage Thalnos and Sylvanas Windrunner. Check out the deck below and head on over to the deck guide to learn more about each of the cards in this deck, and a brief overview of how to win.

Deck Spotlight: Controladin
NOSS_EVEN brings us a deck guide this evening featuring the Control Paladin deck he took from rank 12 to legend this season. According to NOSS, the deck is capable of beating most matchups without a huge disadvantage, but does have some problems against those pesky Mech Mages. Priests may also give you a little bit of trouble, so if you're seeing a lot of Priests and Mages, you may want to try a different deck.
Another pricey deck, closing at 11460 dust, but again, this is much lower if you have access to some of popular classic legendaries (hey there Ragnaros the Firelord!). Check out the deck below, and go learn lots about winning on the full deck guide.

Posted Jan 3, 2015 (GvG Launch)Modify the deck to fit your needs, my deck is just an example, not an end-all build. :)

Posted Jan 1, 2015 (GvG Launch)Why run a Vitality Totem? I find Antique Healbot to be better as it gives you the life straight away.

Posted Jan 1, 2015 (GvG Launch)There are both, but the totem has two advantages:
1. It's cheaper, meaning I can drop a bigger minion whilst still healing.
2. It's a persistent effect, so dropping it can by itself win the game against face aggro or burn decks (face hunter/freeze mage) or fatigue wars, Armor Up has nothing on this.

Posted Jan 1, 2015 (GvG Launch)Fair enough. I guess that you and this mint deck are the reason that every time I play a Vitality Totem it gets taken out instantly.

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)I love me some control decks for sure. That shaman deck looks extra spicy. I'm unsure about that Sneed's Old Shredder in the paladin deck though. There are cheaper sticky minions I think would be better suited to this mech/zoo/aggro saturated meta.

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)It seems like anything aggro would just rape this pally deck. To survive on ladder methinks you need to run chows and geddon,

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)Every shaman deck ever made has been control shaman. Like, how is this something you felt you couldn't make for two expansions when it's been played since beta?
Silly ideas are silly.

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)Pretty sure shaman decks are usually midrange.

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)I totally agree. A few posts ago there was a Paladin deck that even mentioned was a "measly 4300 dust", and only had one Naxx Legend, so it was all epics. Maybe there needs to be deck tech for those beginning or budget.

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)I am a big Hearthstone fan, been playing since Beta ( November 2013 ) but I don't really visit sites or guides. I was the first of my friends to start playing and I had nobody to teach me either. I've never looked up any decks, I visit MMO-Champion and I saw the link to this page on the front page there and felt like checking out what these decks look like. As I was saying, I haven't checked any guides, I haven't asked anyone for advice, I haven't bought a single card pack with money and I can say that I am a good player. Not as good as the Pro's we watch on streams and in tournaments but I have reached rank 7 in the Ranked Mode and have had some pretty good arenas ( although I prefer using my own decks in constructed because they are more fun than the basic cards I get in Arena thus I avoid it ). So how about you actually use your own skills to create a deck using the cards that you have, test it against players, figure out what cards will improve it and craft those cards? Instead of complaining here that someone hasn't come up with an accessible for you deck...

Posted Dec 30, 2014 (GvG Launch)I'll start off with that I there is one deck actually that I saw online and tried to re-create. The same one you mentioned - Randuin Wrynn. Noxious's hilarious deck. I watch his Randuin Wrynn series and I just love it. I even crafted Lorewalker Cho some months ago ( my third out of total 4 crafted legendaries so far ). And yeah, the people here can come up with some very good and/or fun decks, but if you are going to criticise those decks... then criticise THE decks, not their cost. The thing you said about separating the rich from the poor... Most FUN decks are expensive. Now, you can make a GOOD deck using cheap cards but cheap cards aren't FUN. And the people here don't make decks based on the cost of the deck, they make decks based on their desired theme and playstyle. If they have an idea for a good or a fun deck and they want to share it with others, why should they care whether it's an expensive or a cheap deck? Those who can will build it, those who cannot like me will just use whatever they have.
